The Push 3 is awesome as a controller. I don't use the standalone very much at all. Preamps are pretty weak as an interface sadly. You hardly need to touch the mouse when you get the hang of it.
Thats good to hear I mean sad about the Preamps but i do like the idea of no mouse.
Just might have to steal this video set up idea from you too 😅 thanks for the video!
Feel free to steal away lol.
Dude the mirror goes crazy
@@williamrosen1422 thanks g
That mirror 😅
its some like old bathroom one i had lying around

For the dry signal you can just right click on the rack and click create chain and just leave it empty instead of dragging in utility every time

This channel is beautiful my dude.
@@joshuacarro thank you so much I try.
keep making these
@@nitingowda1921 I will don’t worry
good pieces of advice but the mic audio quality and the slow pace is pretty dire, needs improvement. try writing out a list of bullet points to cover in your video, and cut out the dead gaps. everything you said in the first two minutes could have been said in 20 seconds.
hey man thanks for the advice i will try to work on that in the future.
I'll remember to turn off my air conditioner during recordings from now on, so that my microphone quality improves. Sorry about the audio quality.
Super dope video! i admire stuff like this it creates the magic in songs. Flumes music really hammers on this principle
Thank you! At first, I forgot who Flume was, but once I remembered, I couldn't help but appreciate his mastery of texture and layering in DnB. Those subtle details really make his tracks unforgettable."
very good talk. a genre like hip hop is all about texture; certain sampling techniques like sampling something faster then slowing it down for grit, or layering and actively digging for different instruments in songs to chop apart. applies to any electronic music genre i suppose. it’s harder to achieve the sonics we’re after in the box without extra processing where as in the past texture was a result of the medium
I agree, even though I don’t listen to hip hop much. It has great textures. Back then, a lot of tech like tape decks, etc, gave us natural grit, and that’s why I like using vintage emulators and a plugin called Chow Tape to emulate that texture. It’s not perfect, but it works great. I’m a huge fan of experimental electronic music, with songs that have crazy tunes and textures. Recently, I've loved 'Bonesaw - Scruze and Kippo Remix' because it’s so different from anything I've heard with its texture.
@@GenocidePanda I think that sampling is both the easiest and hardest way to add texture because 1 there is lots of amazing things out there but 2 you gotta find the ones that work.
That panning trick is great! Thanks Hommie! Keep up the great work! ^_^ X
Thank you so much I will and I’m glad I could help.
Nice Vid. I keep the kick and snare on separate tracks. Since Live 12 and the new generators, I tend to program percussion and Hi Hats in a drum rack. The pros are the mentioned pattern generator to get different grooves easily. Different velocities are far easier to adjust, and the groove pool is applicable. Your method is good to see the relations between the single elements, since the waveform is visible. It is also easier to freeze and flatten single elements without soloing and resampling.
I’m glad you enjoyed the vid, i’ve heard really good things about Ableton 12, but I haven’t yet bitten the bullet but it seems like pattern generation is pretty powerful and it makes sense to use that with percussion as that is one of the things that you can add the most variety without it being too crazy especially with like ghost notes, and like triple high hats, maybe I gotta buy the upgrade from 11 suit to 12. Do you recommend 12 and did you ever have 11.
@@EscherNadeau Oh...yeah. I forgot. With 12 there is also the benefit of the similar sound swap function. In a drum rack, you can switch the complete kit with one click. Kicks are replaced by similar kicks, snares with snares. I used XO from XLN since then. It is now obsolete.
@@AntiPattern123 that’s so sick and I was also an XO person now I kinda just search and edit witch is definitely slower but I don’t need to render out each drum sound so it’s easier in some ways with drag and drop and it being native.
That’s def one way of getting the automation out of the way. I’m curious why you wouldn’t split or add the automation to an automation lane instead?
Dude imma be honest. I totally forgot about that. If I'm correct, it's the arrow, and you can do the plus sign for each effect. If not, correct me. Thanks for the reminder. I will probably record a correction 😅 lol.
@@EscherNadeau No worries bruv. If you press A or enable automation, then right click the track you can either add a new automation lane or add an automation lane for each current automation. Also if you're in automation mode and you right click a parameter you want to automate you can add an automation lane for that specific parameter as well
@@xzist thanks for the info that helps alot.
Keep on going!
I will thanks.🙏
I missed the stream but watched the VOD . Time well spent imo . I like the tune . Kinda ambient and chill and that's a good thing . Had I been in the chat , I had a suggestion for your outro . It's good as it stands though . I will try to catch your next stream or at least the VOD . Name suggestion is Escher Streams . Just a suggestion . Thanks for sharing .
thanks so much for the advice, i will keep it in mind. Also ambient in my option is one of the most expressive genres of music. i like Escher streams and maby will roll with it for now.
it might be my favorite by you I've heard . I'm late to the party . did you keep going?
Thank ypu so much no I did not but I may soon
@@EscherNadeau I'll watch out for it
I like it but it scared the shit outta my cat. no worries tho bc he's disturbed by my jams too.
I'm glad I'm using just headphones even tho I don't got a cat.
hehe!
happy belated birfday
thanks so much
@@EscherNadeau u r very welcome
I also like it. will you keep going on this one ? just asking because I 'hear' potentials in my mind's ear .
When I livestream, I'll have some plans, but most of the content will be decided by whoever is in my chat. So, on Thursday, I'm planning to stream. If you're there, we could do this project or the other one you liked from mar 30. Of course, I'll also record it and upload it as a VOD so if your busy you will still see it. 😊
@@EscherNadeau I will keep it in mind bro .what time on Thursday ? Or I guess I could check your channel page and find it there . If something gets in the way on Thursday I will def check out the VOD. Thanks.
hi . jam on bud
just do what you want,bro. I will listen.
ahem .. that would be 7 loyal fans .
I dont know how i ended up here. And sorry i don't have time to watch the whole thing, but keep up the great work!
Hey that's ok your my first comment I'm glad you appeared lol, even though you don't have time you clicked and that means something thank you.
