I went back through this one when I had more time. I gotta say you're upping your game. The quality of instruction here is really good. Super impressed, can't wait for your next video. I know you're asking about what styles to go after next. I would love some Deep Progressive House or some Liquid DnB.
Thanks so much for this, I really enjoy your videos and find them so helpful and inspiring. This slightly modified approach to you demonstrating your beat production was really enlightening. Don’t be afraid to show the tedious side of music making because I’m sure there are some gems to share in there too. Nice track and thanks again!
Thank you! And you’re right…I sometimes forget what it was like just learning ableton and take for granted what I know. There are so many little things I’ve picked up by watching others, too 🙂
Same as another commenter, I just subscribed a couple of weeks ago and was sad to see that it had been a while since your last vid. I'm stoked that you're back, you're really accomplished at composing, and a real pleasure to watch. Super useful for a person beginning to learn Ableton. I'm happy to see you're back at it!
I followed a synthwave tutorial of yours about a year ago and created my first 'song-shaped' project :'D. I checked your page a few weeks ago and saw you'd been gone a while and was mildly bummed. Two seconds later and you're back. :) Your tutorials helped me get started when everything was overwhelming. I've made SOOO much progress since then and definitely owe it in part to your early vids. Thank you!
As everyone else has said, pretty exciting day when we get the notification of a new post. Thank so much for this. As a beginner producer, you move a bit quickly especially around the mixing and sound design concepts. Do you have any where you recommend to get better familiarized with these topics?
Thanks for the feedback. For sound design, I kind of learned by watching videos on how to make certain sounds. Seed to Stage has a great selection of videos to learn the basics of Ableton’s instruments. As for mixing, I think it’s hard to find good videos on it because it’s so subjective. There are some rules like “don’t clip” or don’t make it “muddy,” but a lot of that I kind of learned by continuing to mix my own beats. It all takes time and practice.
@@khartbeats I'm by no means suggesting you go slower, it's probably perfect for your audience. It feels like I'm still learning a lot. But I'm still learning my way around Ableton period. So I might have to watch you do something, then go do a google search how do I do that thing she just did lol. It's ok I like learning by doing. Thanks for the suggestions.
Welcome back and great video! Would like to see if you have work flow tips for Ableton Push 3 or is it so much easier for you with keyboard and mouse to compose in Ableton live?
Thanks so much! I really tried to use Push 3 as my main workflow, but I am much faster with the mouse and keyboard. I mainly use push for playing in parts and sometimes tweaking parameters for automation.
Nice shirt! Hahaha love it! Interesting the way you mix K! :) What about mastering? Do you have kind of specific method? :) The tracks you upload in Spotify are very nice!
Hey, thanks! 😁 I have a video on mastering… I usually don’t stress too much about it if my mix is good. My chain is usually some subtle EQ to clean up low mids, some glue compression, subtle saturation and limiter. Usually does the trick.
@@khartbeats wow ok! Thanks K :) Super nice to read this! I usually stress a lot and then I don't release music afraid that I don't match the levels of other tracks :) Thank you very much for answering!
Awesome video, as always. Could you, please, describe in one of the next videos how you choose which reverbs to use? I noticed that on one track you applied Supermassive, on another track you had a stock reverb (I think it was Hybrid), and some other tracks you sent to busses with two different Room verbs. But how do you decide when to do what?
Thanks! Honestly, I usually prefer Valhalla reverbs for most things, but hybrid reverb has some cool algorithms. Supermassive is good for really spacey stuff. I use my larger reverb for things I want to soften or smooth out. Shorter reverb for things like drums that I want to preserve their snappiness.
Wow, already? Saving this for my morning coffee tomorrow. Can't wait! EDIT: I couldn't wait, so I started skimming through, and it's really cool that you're doing everything with stock plugins. Unfortunately I'm still on 9.5 so a lot of the stuff isn't pound-for-pound relevant to me, but it's so interesting to see your approach, which is very different to mine. Just goes to show, there are no wrong answers and any number of methods to get what the results you're going for.
Yes! It’s hard to do a mixing tutorial because it’s very dependent on what you’re working on and how you want it to sound. My mixes became a lot better and quicker once I thought of it as more of a creative process than something that had to be done one way or another.
Facts. And I appreciate what you mentioned about fundamental sound design being vastly more important than all the Band-Aids we try to add at later stages. I'll definitely be coming back to this mulitple times for reference.
Thanks for the soap box too. The moral of the story is do your own thing as opposed to confining yourself to copy pasting some technique or genre. "The last flight of the Monarch" - is the title of this song; listen as she beautifully faces her fate.

Thank you. I put a lot of work into these tutorials so I really appreciate that. I’ll look into making some deep progressive house or liquid DnB 😁
Thanks for sharing yuor knowledge! Greetings from Spain
Thanks for checking out the video!
K.hart, I thank you. i use ableton, but I learned a lot of methods that I didn't know from you. God bless you. Greetings from Turkey.
That’s great! Thank you very much!

The looping tip inside an audio clip was really helpful - thanks!
Awesome. That’s one of my favorite tricks.

so glad you're back! I basically learned how to Ableton because of your videos
That’s awesome! Thank you! 😊
_Love your vids, very informative_
Thanks so much
Glad you're back!
Thank you 😊

HI K.Hart could you do a tutorial on how you make those funky baselines for deep house please?
Definitely! I'll add to my list.
❤❤❤❤
Would looooove a tutorial of the background song at the start of the video!!!
Right here 🙂
ruclips.net/video/WqCcwzd7HPQ/видео.htmlsi=TihCMuGy298HKl_a
ヤバい！！！！
Do you do one on one tutorials at all?
Not at the moment
_I think you can try techno or trance in the next video. Personally, I would be very interested. Something between 138 - 140bpm_
I’ll add that to my list.
@@khartbeats _Have you tried anything in this direction?_
@ no, I don’t typically listen to those genres
@@khartbeats _ОК... Your synthwave tracks are amazing. I really like them._
@ thank you. I definitely have more of those coming, too.
Thanks for the soap box too. The moral of the story is do your own thing as opposed to confining yourself to copy pasting some technique or genre. "The last flight of the Monarch" - is the title of this song; listen as she beautifully faces her fate.
True. Mixing is so subjective...there's no one size fits all fix. It's just part of the creative process.
Thank you🙏! Learned something new today 👍
Awesome! Thank you for checking it out 🙂
Always a pleasure watching you work.
Thanks so much 🙂
