Great reminder to keep the lowend of the bass in mono
Been using Ableton every day for a year now - there's some gold in this short video. Liked and subscribed. Thank you. 😁👍
I've been using it for years and still finding stuff lol
@@DirtySecretz it's an incredible tool. As soon as I started using it I was converted. So many infinite possibilities...so many very straightforward things to overlook 🤣🤣🤣 - keep up the good work amigo 👍
14 minutes and 16 seconds of pure 🤯🤯🤯
The sidechaining one is really cool I had no idea you could do that with non compressor plugins!
Thanks for sharing your tips. The biggest one for me that took almost two years before I started using it is Collect All and Save. Sharing projects has never been simpler.
Liked and subscribed right away...
I saw the first one and was like I know these! Nope! Thanks!
I've seen, read, heard many different individuals providing tips, tricks, tutorials etc and I must say that you consistently provide clear, concise and easy to follow information that does not leave out the little details that many individuals gloss over because they may feel that it is common knowledge or in the manual. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I know it is hard work to edit all of clips to provide this content. Thank you.
As a side note: Thinking about how people gloss over the details reminded me of some mechanic shows on TV many years ago where they would start a project then after the commercial the engine or whatever they were building was complete and they stated "there you have it!" And you like wait! Whoa! What about showing me the process so that my questions are answered! Haha but I digress. Thank you again. I look forward to your future content.
Thank you! A lot of people say I talk too much but I’d rather give more information than not enough because you never know what level people watching are at 😊
This is Top Gear for music.
Brilliant.
Wowzers! Such simple awesome tips, nice one mate
Thank you
I have been using ableton for 2 months and I already know these, thought it would be more rare
Thanks so much - especially the export tip!
Loved it thank you!
Thank you so much ... very valuable stuff
Thanks for this tips! I didn't know some of them
Great tips, thanks!
Brilliant thanks!
Thanks friend, the autofilter side chain is great
Another good one Dirty Secretz, thank you
Thank You Richie !
sick intro footage, also loving your recent tipps, learnt few new things !
Great tips.
Great Tips video
Very cool Information well explained. Good work and useful.
Thank you.
Best tutorials online, also watching you on Sonic Academy, thank you
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks for this video. Just started using Ableton a year. This is really good. Cheers :)
Good tips. This overview bar that I always drag down by accident that is over! Thanks.
thanks for these!! idk why you don't have more subscribers, your videos are great, v useful :) i hope you continue making content ♥
very good tips ! thanks ;-)
Thanks, excellent video. Exactly the type of experienced knowledge us beginners find vital.
THANKS
Top Tips Ritchie - some gold dust there ! The stems, colour setting snd drum rack sibling changes had no idea . great stuff. PS am enjoying your SonicAcademy big room house course ;)
Awesome glad you’re liking it!
thank you! a week ago my A for Automation hot key randomly stopped working , its been driving me crazy! apparently i accidentally turned the midi on. wow
Hey nice mic, looks a lot like mine
for autodilter you need to change it to highpass for it to work with a kick
Knew most but not all tips. Cheers :)
Great video keep it up! What is that stand you are using for the Elektrons?
Thanks! I think it was a random Ebay find, I don't think it was made specifically for Elektron stuff (I'm using it for my AS-1 & NI keyboard at the moment)
Nice video man
Id on the song in the intro??
It’s a track I have in the works for a new alias that I’m launching later this year
1:25 Still exporting the stems "solo" is the best way as it also exports them with their effects sends. And it is, in my opinion, the best way to process them. Exporting with Ableton the individual stems, it is faster but it exports each send channel as a separate channel with all the effects wet all mixed. for example all the sounds affected by a reverb at the same time in a single channel, impossible to compress or process correctly. Maybe there is another way to achieve the same thing and that is not exporting in "solo" channel by channel
I do it by selecting (NOT Soloing) my grouped tracks... CTRL/CMD + Left-click on each Group Track header... then, in the export window Track Render drop down, choose 'Selected Tracks Only'. Then I start a new project, import my stems, drag in the Return Tracks from the old project and re-apply the send levels. Or you can repeat the process but on each of the Group outputs, choose 'Sends Only' before selecting and exporting (also possible to export the Sends Only in the Track Render drop down). Then you'd end up with your dry stems (with any inserted group fx processing) and separate send fx stems. Also, you can select any combination of individual tracks, grouped tracks and nested grouped tracks.
thank you. Suscribed. 3DLV
A lot of people are face palming right now with that final tip
Well we all didn't instantly know everything about Ableton 😉
drink every time he says, 'This will save you so much time' OR 'I wish I learnt this sooner' 🍻😂
😆😆😆
@Dirty Secretz... Great video! I've added a few replies on comments below, not wishing to dis what you had said in response, but just to say there were other ways or simpler methods etc. One tip I didn't know... hit A for automation on/off! :D

M is the shortcut to turn off midi keyboard
Hi, what does oversampling do when enabled on the EQ8?
Basically it’s like a ‘high quality’ setting for the EQ, however it does then use more CPU
@@DirtySecretz okay nice one thank you.
tip #2 - just set up stems in your mix template and record em in one pass. make duplicate tracks of your groups, put em into record mode, muted, input only mode. should be part of any template
Good tip, yes this is something I put into my template earlier this year
Or just select (NOT Solo) the stems (Grouped tracks) you want to export (CTRL/CMD + left click on each grouped track header) and then choose 'Selected tracks only' in the Render Track drop down menu of the export window.... no need to waste time and extra CPU/RAM resources by realtime recording duplicates of what's already available to export. Render any Send fx separately in order to still be able to mix their levels later on, or drag your stems + return tracks (saved in your old project and accesible through the browser) into a new project and re-apply send levels... that way you can still tweak any send fx settings you want.
This works with any combination of individual tracks, grouped tracks and even nested grouped tracks (Groups within Groups).
How do you add an effect on all tracks without dragging it in individually? Thank you
There isn't really a way to do that, although you could group the tracks you want and then apply the effect to the group or if it's all tracks, the master.
@@DirtySecretz adding an insert effect on grouped tracks is not the same as adding an insert effect on individual tracks e.g. If you were to add a compressor with the same settings to 5 individual tracks, those compressors would work as expected. However, if you grouped those 5 tracks and inserted a compressor on the group, you're gonna get very different results.
As mentioned in the video... this is where saving effect presets helps a lot. If you find you're wanting to add the same basic effects chains to each track (i.e. EQ>Compressor>Saturator or whatever) then you can group the effects and save as an Effect Rack, with lots of benefits for setting up custom macro controls. Or, if you find that you're always setting up a track with exactly the same effects chains, you can set it up once and then Right-click on the track header > Save as default Audio/Midi track. Then every time you add an audio or midi track, it will insert your default one. You can reset your default track by inserting a new one, deleting the effects and re-saving as the default.
Background track Dirty Secretz - ID ? :)
It’s a new one, not sure if it’ll be a Dirty Secretz one but may put it out at some point
@@DirtySecretz Thanks! Catchy Vibe and Great Bass!
