@navelolol You can also slave either to live. I use Reason and live.
Cool and informative video. Cool tips Only thing that bothers me is the sound quality. It is weird having the option of HD picture but the sound (which is more important in this case) sounds like through a tube or like through the telephone when listening to slight changes in sound. When is the Youtube soundquality gonna get up to date?
@soneoo My pleasure, glad to help.
I always used compression to a decent level, but never fully understood, thanks!
@navelolol FL and Reason are both great but Live has some tricks up it’s sleeve that just arn’t available anywhere else. Give the demo a try, the full version runs for 30days so plenty of time to find out if you like it.
you make me want to use ableton live, it looks real neat. was on FL first, now on Reason
@TeleportMASSSIVE Hi, The envelope in the clip is changing the filter cutoff over time. So the sound gets brighter in this case. The different envelope follower modes change how the compressor responds to the volume change of the incoming audio. There is quite a lot to understand about this so check out p292 of the manual.
can someone explain what the envelope is and the difference between RMS and opto?
What I do instead of this, is just program a drum loop with just a kick drum, and play it along with the original drum loop. Then, I just turn down the volume of the kick, and then you can use the kick loop to sidechain whatever you want.
@TtopMusic The kick is part of a drum loop so it’s not possible to choose it in this case. The frequency setting helps the sidechiain to respond to just the kick and not the other elements of the loop.
bro with the sidechain you can just choose the kick instead of setting a frequency lol
@Merkkari1 Drag the dividing line above the volume meters upwards. This will increase their height and also reveal peak display.
How do you get Ableton to show the track volume amounts in numbers like you have? They are not showing in the default view.
helped me a lot
for sidechaining, if you click the drop-down menu under ‘audio from’ you can select the kick drum seperately.
Excelent course, i’ve just suscribed!
Extremely helpful, this was awesome for my “sweeping” skills. XD
Extremely good tutorial. One of the best I’ve ever seen on youtube. Thanks.
very nice! been using ableton for quite a while now, but didnt know a lot what you just said!
@gosuyun I wouldn’t worry to much about the positive and negative scale it all comes down to mathematics. Just think of it as regular numbers – the lower on the scale the sound is, the quieter it is. You will be able to hear a sound that reads -42db on the meters.
really helpfull video for me,
appreciate it alot.. thanks man
one question about the decibel scale
in the compressor on the left theres decibels from – 42 to +6 i think..
is everything in this spectrum hearable?
why are there negativ decibel numbers?
sorry for my bad english
Excellent vid. This is how to explain compression correctly.
Nice tut
anyone know how you get the white meter to the left of the track volume slider to come up in ableton? i’ve noticed that the send return buttons are white. does that have something to do with it?
