      First off, it's "asd", ADG is a drum rack or instrument files. Second, those asd files serve a purpose like speed up sample loading time (and I assume lower hard drive load)

    @billypatron5761 Před 3 lety +1

    Didn't know that about the delay. Good look! With the custom key commands you can set all your regular ones and save that as default session so it loads up every new session with your key commands. Also one of my favorite key commands is creating a marker and applying a key to that so you can always set a restart point in the area you're working on. The cmd+space bar restart is annoyingl because it will restart on anything that you have selected.

    creating gaps/drops in specific areas
    - copy whatever empty of bars you want
    - highlight the section you want to make a gap in
    - right click above the arrangement numbers, to click on "Paste Time"
    saves time to make time :)

    @ghdrum Před 4 lety +6

    Group an instrument, duplicate and add an effect (verb/delay) at 100% on the duplicate. This gives you a wet and dry version. Add the wet amount to taste. Voila = basically a return track right on the channel strip. You can even sidechain the wet signal to the dry signal if needed. Learned that from KSHMR and used it religiously ever since.

    • @MichaelMatics
      @MichaelMatics Před 3 lety +2

      You should rather group the effect and create a chain in the FX group with no fx on it. It's the same result, but you don't need to duplicate the instrument, which saves CPU.

    Instead of doing a 'key command' set up for recording every time you open a new session, you could 'Save Current Set as Default' in preferences, and then it will always be there. I also have learned that automating the arrows to skip between markers really speeds up my mixing work flow.

    @nikolahamplova Před 3 lety +1

    Hello. I set up a "home recording studio" in the living room. I use Ableton 10 Live Lite and the external audio interface Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6. I would be very grateful for your advice. . . I managed to record some audio tracks through the styles in my Yamaha psr-s970 keyboard and vocals. Somehow I adjusted it so that it had dynamism and the recording didn't sound very amateurish. Unfortunately, after many attempts to export the entire project to a certain format, the volume is always significantly reduced, the effects and dynamics also fall down. . . I can't handle it. When I run the project in Ableton, it plays well. I hope you understand my English. Greetings from Czech Republic (Czechia) Thumbs up for your videos.
