Dude, how are you not being sponsored by @Ableton? Your tutorials have been key in giving me clarity and making me fall in love with the potential for this software. I initially thought it would be too beatmaker focused, but your series has helped me understand how powerfully it can complement my audio approach. So much moreso than Cakewalk was. You are a fantastic instructor and talented creator! Thanks!
I am new to Abelton and it's like a new language... your videos have been the MOST helpful videos I've found. You explain things in a way that actually makes sense and allows viewers to learn. Can't thank you enough!!!
Despite messing around with ableton for a few years and creating countless “finished” tracks, this has been extremely helpful and I learned a lot!!
It has also just helped me simply to feel inspired, so thank you Taetro!
The only tutorials I actually enjoy watching and learn from on YT. Thank you so much, you're a good teacher 🍻
Can't thank you enough. Learning these techniques make the process so much fun. Which is as important as the outcome i.e finished music
What a great video TAETRO! Thank you so much for your tips, exactly what we needed! 😍👍
This is a great, easy to understand overview of the essentials of music production. Well done!
Love the honest disclaimer at the beginning. Props.
Thank you Taetro!! Your series gave me so many tips for making my own music and was a great watch. Even thought I had some experience already in Ableton, learning all these little shortcuts and methods I would’ve otherwise never known was really fun. I’m gonna watch your music theory series next 🎶
Thank you !! You're the first one that I love to listen to and who actually teaches me something I understand and gives me Energy and courage to learn even if I knOw it's gonna me take hours, weeks and months to understand some of the stuff about mixing and about Ableton Live. Haha So I'm very grateful to you.
This is all great advice. A lot of people share tips that can do more harm than good if you are inexperienced, but these are safe/valuable for producers of all levels.
a lot of folks for sure dive into more advanced topics way too quickly without considering the beginner. thank you for checking out the video!
Thank you so much! I think this is the answer to my curiosities. I will try these on my next composition!
Taetro sometimes it's like you're reading my mind. I was searching for basic mixing tips earlier today. You rock! 🎉❤
edit: I just used these tips on a track I needed to mix in real time and OH BOY were they effective!!! Can't wait for the next one :)
Really well explained, thank you! Learnt a lot from this. I would be super keen to see the effects chain video that you're thinking of doing!
This was a super helpful tutorial. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the serires!
Great insights. I’ve really enjoyed this series! Thanks for all the help!
happy to hear it!
thank you for this amazing series
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Love how you kept this really simple and basic for beginners and didn't try to include all of these fancy "mIxInG chEAt c0Des" that other ppl are doing. Simple, concise, and to the point. Great work as always.
Oh also for video ideas for this series: I'm always interested in the "after it's all finished time to put your music out there" phase. I feel like you've really covered the whole process of making a song and I'd love to hear your thoughts on putting the music out there (especially since lots of your videos are sponsored by DistroKId)
Love your calm energy, I just suscribe, and then watch the video :) Thank you
About headroom, what I prefer is to leave the faders at 0db and use special plugins (from Hornet or just the Utility) to lower the volume. cause some of the plugins we love to use, particular those emulating analog gear got a sweetspot around -18dbfs. so I lower the levels before any processing plugin. Good idea is also a clipper on groups before summing. Clipper > Limiter. its easier to get a more cohesive mix at the end.
It makes sense, but seems a little inconvenient to manually mix on a utility device for each track
@@Taetro you can just put a utility with the desired gain and an eq on a new audio and midi track and then just save them as default whenever you make a new track...
thanks allot , the series helps allot 🙏
god knows how i love these tutorials videos of yours! 👍
This course is a blessing my dude… #ThankYou
Best tutorial I've seen, thank you !
Thanks for the extra episode on mixing! ❤
another one coming soon on sample chopping!
Thanks king. You are a legend.
Need this one, thanks Taetro!
Perfect!
Wonderful tips!
Very useful video !!
Wow Taetro thank you AGAIN
thank you so much for guiding us on how to do this & that to produce musics.. anyways can you please do a review on Joyo Momix Pro? I’m not quite sure if it’s an audio interface.. i’m curious if it’s good for Mac/PC and the latency
Cool video. I love it
when I heard that Jade Cicada uses the -12db trick, I immediately started doing that and its helped a tonnn
headrooooooom!!
This is so well done. I learned more from you in 20 minutes than any else online. Could you do something that explains compression (when and how to use it effectively) to a moron like me?
I’ll put it on my list!
how did you get the window where is shows the frequency distribution for the whole piece
good job mate!
Thanks for the visit!
How is Ableton Live not Sponsoring your video! I love that you included non pro versions like the use of EQ Three and pro versions EQ Eight! Thanks!
One thing about headroom, I was watching a Techno tutorial the other day and the instruction there was to use a limiter with a -8 dB ceiling on each track's instrument, from what I understand by doing that I wouldn't also need to change the volume of the track in the mixer later right? And the limiter could also make it so that single instrument has a more normalized volume (if that's something one wants in their music).
Maybe it could work, but a limiter will squash each track a bit, which will have an effect on the actual sound. Then what happens later if you want to adjust the volume of each sound?
Nice Mic stand bro😍link plz
How to have a sidechain
What are your thoughts on "cheating" by using a smart EQ or mixing plugins? Izotope's Neutron and Sonible have some interesting tools but I'm skeptical if they can compare to doing it manually.
No such thing as cheating. I’ve used izotopes AI before. Usually they can provide a decent starting point but need a helping hand. Ultimately you will need to know what your listening for and how to change it anyway. So AI is a tool but not a replacement for skill I think
Bravo!!! I've followed you from ep. 1 - 10. I have a beat prepared based on what I've learned from you. Please let me know how I can get you to hear and evaluate it. I'm a community member as well. Thanks for everything. Talk Soon. 💯
Hey Kerwin!! Stoked the videos are helping!! We are doing track reviews TOMORROW! (monday) So you can go ahead and link your track in the "track-review-submissions" channel on discord!
@@Taetro Done. 🙌 Working in song #2
❤❤❤❤
👍🏾❤👍🏾
Man so many of my great ideas ruined by poor mixes. Thanks fo this
Agreed! Thanks for the ongoing support!
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww NICE
I saw my name 🎉 ❤
Me to! Lol
Mix translation in Ableton is pain, no one shows u how the really mix and master in every step, or which daw they actually use to complete the process😂
This is the process I use! Mix & master all my music entirely in Live.
Mixing process is very involved / fluid from project to project and hard to encapsulate in a single video - check some past livestreams for a deeper look into my process.
