You need to adjust the attack in Trackspacer so it sounds as snappy as Ableton's compressor. You can access the envelope panel by clicking on the little circle on the lower right corner of the spectrum analyzer.
@@davidbunyai2294I'm not sure why he chose to demonstrate Trackspacer with drums. It's better for ducking specific frequencies, like where vocals and a lead may clash. Though you can also achieve that with stock plug-ins by controlling the gain of an EQ node with a envelope controller.
Been following this channel for a short time. Been following dosio since...kinetic playground, Chicago 2011. Put two and two together today. I never said I was bright.
I got myself a Push 2 Like one year ago and Had absolutely No clue what i was getting into. Whenever i Had or have an insue about anything i find the right Video in your chanel. and Most important i understand Most of what you are talking about. There ist plenty of videos but for me yours are the best 💗. I Just wanted to let you know. Thank you for everything you really Made my Last year!!!!! If i wasn't broke Like a half way crook i would Love to spend some Money on your Tutorials. Once again thank you so much!
Great video! Another essential tool for me is an automatic gain compensator for my plug-in chain, the best solution I’ve found is MAGC from Melda Production
I really enjoy your videos man, thanks. Your knowledge of the subject matter combined with the way you manage to explain things in an understandable way are just great. Also, some tutorials on RUclips take negative views of certain software or gear, or present things without nuance. You're very positive and you take time to explain both good and bad use cases of software, without discrediting gear altogether.
im using an instrument rack split into three bands and dividing the mid and high bands into mids and sides..you can put any effect on any part of any band and toss a mono utility on the low band. its so much less resource heavy than saturn 2. but the mythical 3d preset on the master is just so good
Awesome video! @Ant - Can you PLEASE do a tutorial on how you made that LOW BASS sound ? - I LOVE that BASS sound!!! (I can hear the notes, and obviously it's in wavetable and there are some filter sweeps and pitch bends, but I can hear something else modulated in there...)
🔥🔥 ive always found that instead of using a compressor to duck a bass, putting a utility plugin on the bass and automating the gain of the utility to duck right when the kick hits works very well. Might take longer to copy each kick hit in an 8 bar loop but you can get the perfect envelope, select the range of the envelope and copy and paste that envelop Anywhere a kick hits. Plus i work better seeinf whats happening instead of confusing myself with sidechain sends etc…The reason i don’t use regular volume automation is because you still want to be able to adjust the overall track volume while keeping the gain ducks on utility.
If you work with vocals I would also recommend a pitch-correction plugin as I don't think Ableton really has anything great stock for that (although there might be some good m4l devices)
With resonance suppression & dynamic EQs, they're absolutely awesome, but they can really easily suck all the character out of the music by reducing all those resonant peaks. Sometimes a bit of janky frequencies is exactly what makes something interesting. Then again, I saved one of my mixes today by using a resonance suppression plugin on the master bus :D So it definitely has it's place.
for sure youre right. I would also caution against using these on the master or on busses too because there is the potential for phase issues. If there is a peaky signal its best to use these kinds of tools at the individual track level
Yeah but it is like every single plugin. You always need to adjust the settings subtly. Because at the end, every little issue is going to be a big one on the mastering stage.
I use trackspacer on my tracks to make room for vocals , very subtly in the final mix it makes a huge difference. STFU is a free plugin I use for ducking and it works amazing. imo ducking>compressor for sidechaining bass.
One massive glaring hole in Ableton's stock offering is pitch correction. They need to integrate something like Melodyne into the audio editor, and make something for automatic real-time tuning.
Awesome videos dude, thanks! Just a quick feedback, @9:10-9:20 you bias the viewer to hear something wrong in the Ableton's Limiter, maybe make us listen to the comparisons first and then make your comment.! Keep it up!
I miss Autotune in Ableton. I use alot of stock plugins in ableton. As a matter of fact I'm kind of minimalistic in going for outside plugins. I'm trying to get by with the stock plugins as far as I can... But really quickly I needed to buy an outside plugin and that was an autotune plugin. I sometimes use the pitch stuff you can use on audio clips for minor adjustments - but if you want the autotune sound you'll have look elsewhere. The most common question I get from vocalists is "Do you have autotune?" 🙂 Great stuff from you by the way 🙂👍
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying about dynamic sidechain EQ in Ableton but I was able to dynamic sidechain EQ using the envelope follower. I mapped the envelope follower to gain reduction on the EQ triggered by bass drum, snare drum, and Toms and applied the EQs to a return with sends from guitar+bass+cymbals. Basically I’m using the transient instruments to drive dynamic sidechain EQ to make space in the sustain instruments only at the frequencies that the transient instruments are present and only while they’re active.
And also you can replace soothe with trackspacer. Both of them can do the almost the same with a few workarounds. And if soothe it's too expensive you can always try dseq
Don't trackspacer and Soothe serve different purposes though? I thought Trackspacer targeted all frequencies in the range whereas Soothe targets particular resonances?
@@keveydaking Trackspacer works with a external sidechain, but what if your track, for example a lead vox with harsh resonance 1. You create a duplicate, a bus, or a pre fader return track where you have a copy of your lead vocal 2. You insert a trackspacer on the lead vox track (the original one) and in the sidechain select the track that you created on the step before 3. Set the low and high cut of trackspacer the amount knob only works in the area of the resonances. You can also put a EQ on the bus/return track and boost some freqs to achieve a larger reduction in that area, like the soothe does. So basically as you can use the soothe like a trackspacer, you can also use the trackspacer as a soothe !
I wouldn't say the ableton limiter is "bad" but compared to the free loudmax limiter it uses more latency which means you can't use as many. Also when you run a sine through abletons limiter or even ff pro l (half the settings are fairly transparent) you'll find that loudmax makes the least distortion of the 3 in even the most aggressive settings
Something to note is with resonance suppression plugins is that it will lessen the peaks so that it matches that of surrounding frequencies(to create more of a flat frequency response). This means at times it may make the sound less at the forefront of the mix so you would have to use an eq or midside eq to emphasize certain frequencies like 1-5k.
I like Decapitator for gnarly saturation, and Black Box Analog Design HG-2 for smoother. At some point, in a sale, I'd maybe like to get Softube M.A.S. Overstayer. I think you are right that you don't need much outside of Ableton. But, saturation is one area. For me, the other areas are Granular processing with more finesse and power (Portal, Novum) and character Reverb (Arturia Plate, Eventide Spring, Valhalla VintageVerb). I wonder if Sonible Smart:Limit might suit people starting out from Ableton better than L2? The last thing is tape emulations and effects, loads of choice, but I have a soft spot for Sketch Casette II and it's very affordable.
If you're broke, I would recommend Limiter 06 by VladG and Loudmax by Thomas Mundt as some free limiter options with robust controls and a good sound. Ableton's limiter is unusable, but there are some good free limiters out there!!!
I had a plugin/vst addiction for a while where i was just buying away because, "this is gonna make it for me, and im gonna be inspired" and i rarely use the majority of them...nice to have, but after realizing you can do the same thing, or basically duplicate the sound to a t with audio fx and some tweaking, which is actually fun, I wish i would have put that money to new guitars instead lol..
Dan Worrall did a great video on this. He's the voice of the FabFilter instructional videos, but he's quick admit when something does a better job. He really liked EQ 8. ruclips.net/video/ebBqP2PteAQ/видео.html
"We can hear that 'Bwwahhhh' sound". No, we cannot. I think I need to improve my critical listening more than everything, and I just noticed it's one of your first chapters in your mixing course!
I think it's fair to mention that Fabfilter L2 in Oversampling x8 mode is causing waaay more latency then when reduced, while Ableton Limiter doesn't have any oversampling options.
and at the same time, Ableton with 128 samples at 2.9ms vs 2929 samples at 66.4ms ... that's 22.88 times higher than ableton....meaning they are LITERALLY the same (22.88 x 2.9 = 66.352) I call bullshit on this video, he's just selling plugins. He should've added affiliate links.
@@linzenmeyer huh? but that's a good thing for pro L2 right? if it has the same latency with same options AND has more/better options he's just telling the truth isn't he?
Hi Seed to stage, really appreciating your vids, they approach learning ableton in a whole different way. I do have a question though: what are your thoughts on analog compression vst’s? One of the things plug-ins chase are those ‘analogue’ sounds and how does something like FaBfilter’s pro c2 compare and do you actually need it?
kickstart 2 in sidechain mode sounds better than sidechaining a comp to me. soothe 2 as a sidechain to kick or snare or vocals is better than either of those imo. nothing ducks better than soothe with as little work
The VU meter on Decapitator makes me wonder why it's there. Is it possible that the signal feeding the Decapitator is to loud? It's an excellent video, thx.
Great vid! Did you happen to record the camera to OBS? It's a bit choppy (dropped frames ) and I've found this happens when I connect my mirrorless camera to OBS and record that way (versus recording to SD).
I am not hearing a difference between the Pro-L2 and the Ableton Limiter in your comparisons. I am listening on a good system with Adam TV-7 speakers. Not sure why?
So, I'm listening on my studio headphones.....I don't hear any of the "Things" you are talking about.....which makes me wonder.....Does it even matter when the "Listener" is listening to an MP3 off of Spotify with Blutooth ear buds with built-in bass boost and processing? (Beats, etc)
Thanks for sharing yet another great insight into your sound design and mixing approaches. Have you tried Vastaus by Wavegroove as a resonance reduction tool? It's free, and sounds quite nice and natural. Obviously it offers far less control and accuracy than soothe. But I often ask myself how much surgical resonance taming is really necessary, or even desired during sound design, and if not the simplest, more natural solution would be to apply a dynamic EQ (surgical, e.g. Nova from TDR) for problem frequencies. Also, I was wondering why you don't apply oversampling on the Ableton stock saturator, when you are applying it on all the other clippers/limiters/saturators. In the end, it's all about what sounds better, taking into consideration how much aliasing occurs, depending on your project sample rate.
Nice plugin selection, Saturn 2 is an huge versatile monster. Suprizely I Tought you will present shaperbox 3 in this selection, because it's a real workflow enhancer for mixing, SC and sound design, maybe in another video ;)
ShaperBox @Cableguys is insane. Almost every time I use it, I discover some new sound design technique. Most of what I thought I knew about filters, volume, time etc. FX has been turned on its head by ShaperBox. In his video about sidechaining, Anthony @SeedtoStage mentions SB among others, but focuses on Duck Buddy. Look up "How to Turn Audio Into MIDI Triggers..." on this channel.
Soothe is unreal. Nothing like it. I would add Split EQ from Eventide to this list and/or Spiff from Oeksound. That's all the transient shaping you could ever possibly need.
when comparing those limiters you should have used 3 ms lookahead in fabfilters limiter too (or isnt it important?), also abletons limiters doenst have those 8x oversampling you used in pro -L.

Yup, you can also adjust mid-side targeting, which is super useful

Saturn and L2 are always in my master chain. Room, Vintage Verb, Delay and Supermassive by Valhalla dsp are also essential for me

Great explanation of why the versatility of Fabfilter L2 is important to consider when trying to limit a track for the final mastered release.
One of the best explanations of where the limitations are in some of the Ableton Live effects.

i didn't know that the limiter is so weak in ableton.
soothe2 is brilliant
i would love for you to test out bitwig, since you can build pretty much anything you want in there. If youd want to
Nice!
Good info there. The comparisons should be done without stopping the song though, otherwise our brains can't get the difference.

doesn't soothe 2 do what trackspacer does when sidechained but better with more control?
Very well done video and very informative! Thank you for making these kinds of videos! Will be subbing for sure!
0 ms lookahead versus 3ms in the limiter section so pro L would have even more latency! Have you tried Glue Compressor in a limiting capacity?
There is also an open source loudness meter max for live device which I think works well, gives instant or integrated loudness
Would you care to share said loudness meter with the community? :)
yes king please pro q vs eq 8!!!!
Would love to see the comparison
Dan Worrall did a great video on this. He's the voice of the FabFilter instructional videos, but he's quick admit when something does a better job. He really liked EQ 8. ruclips.net/video/ebBqP2PteAQ/видео.html

Interesting watch, thanks. Do you have any similar videos going through the best vst synths?
Thanks a lot for your work :)
What about Rift from Minimal Audio? Is it compareable to Saturn 2?

Can you do a gate in Ableton review? For vocals
Could the Soothe2 sidechain function do the same as Trackspacer, though? Perhaps this could be a list of 4 plugins, not 5 :)
You may have touched in this in another video but can you explain why oversampling was turned off in the saturator? I always assumed oversampling >

You can mimick track spacer more accurately by having Ableton's envelope generator modulate an eq.

i think fabfilter pro q 3 could be a "better" solution for dynamic eq bands that ableton eq 8 (i believe?!) can't have as a feature.
Something like melodyne, linear phase eq with build in pdc, transient designer
Youve got 2 dynamic eq's....
Oeksound Sooth can sidechain = therefore replacing Trackspacer
when comparing those limiters you should have used 3 ms lookahead in fabfilters limiter too (or isnt it important?), also abletons limiters doenst have those 8x oversampling you used in pro -L.
why do I get phasing with trackspacer?
What exactly is the difference between resonance suppression and regular dynamic eq like pro-q3?
Resonance suppression only compresses harsh elements within a frequency band. Dynamic eq compresses all of the frequency band.
Isn't the "clicky" eq sc ducker first plugin only "clicky" because the envelope needs tightening?
