INCREDIBLE INFO man! Thank you... FYI, you can also go into your Sampler and change the starting point of the Wave so that it sits better from the get go
thank you so so much! I was looking for this video for so long because nobody talks about it really, but this topic is so important! you explained it so well! thanks! :)
I do have a question. In live I use an eq via the external effect tool. I drop it on the track but I am always curious whether the external effect is in phase. I assume I could put that effect on another track and compare? Never thought about delay compensation though. Anyway just rambling but really appreciate your work and best of all its in Live yay!1.
@@richardmelhuish4733 That is a great question. I think the best way to make sure you are in phase would be to use two identical tracks and put the external EQ on ONLY one of them. Make sure to bypass the EQ so that it is not altering the sound. On the other track, use a Utility device in Ableton to flip its polarity. Now play back the tracks and adjust the delay compensation until the tracks totally cancel each other out. Now flip the polarity back to normal and you should be perfectly in phase. Hope this is helpful!
@@FrenchtownMedia ya man np. actually had a question for you...something i'm struggling with. I like to use a lot of reverbs and compressed reverbs in my tracks on synths etc. usually to the point where the reverb is the entire instrument itself and almost if not 100% wet. Problem is in the mix stages i struggle with clarity. I test it in mono as well in the stem master session and usually it sounds pretty bad. like washed out etc. any tips for this? thanks in advanced.
@@BradleyMarcus Great Question. One thing I would recommend is checking the pre-delay on your reverb. Anything below 50ms is prone to phasing. Next, I would recommend putting EQ on the reverb and sweeping for unwanted frequencies. Once found a cut of 3-5 dB will usually do the truck. Keep the cuts narrow using the Q option and perhaps boost friendly frequencies. Remember to cut narrow and boost wide! Hope this helps! If you still experience issues perhaps I could take a look at the actual track and see what we can do.
@@FrenchtownMedia wow. thank you for this detailed description. funny enough i always have short pre delays (if any at all) and only roll off highs and low of my reverbs. will do and get back to you!

@@BradleyMarcus No problem :) I hope that this helps to solve your dilemma.
more videos on mixing in mono, please!
I'll try to fit some in🙂 hope this helped!
Thank you !
cool video!
Thanks!
Nice :)
Thanks 😁
I totally understand it on two channels, but what about more channels ? How do we tackle this issue there ???
The problem is case dependent and audio engineers are paid a lot to solve it!
Awesome content
Thanks!
