Important:
These racks were made with version 11.1 so you will need this version or later for them to load.
just spent an hour trying to figure out why it wasn't working... I've a older Ableton ...problem solved.. but I'm gonna try make my own version of ur racks. reverb first.. any tips would be appreciated. thanks for all the content.
These racks are pirate free 🏴☠️
\m/ \m/
i need everyone to understand this: no email collection, no follow me here and there, no nothing! this man just gives, he has a heart of gold. and i know how many "producers" ask a lot more for a lot less
👊❤️
+1 to this with the added bonus his stuff sounds good and you could imagine it getting a release, unlike some of the crap that comes out of the "finished result" section of wayyyyyyy too many popular channels.
Spot on! These are the best videos around at the moment!
Really need more of this in the music scene, doing real work!!
Those racks are gems.. Especially the smooth on the reverb.. Finally someone that understand the struggle!
Easily becoming my fav channel
Best production tutorial guy ever. Your a genius. I've been a hobbiest for 14 years and I learn something every video
This channel is growing like crazy and it's well deserved... love all the content you put out!
Best music production coach on CZcams hands down!
You are a King! Thank-you!
literally S-tier channel for me - thanks so much for the racks and tips. Love the depth of explanation with a bit of history, all while keeping it easy enough to understand for a noob like myself.
parallel processing is brilliant, thanks for the racks!
Congrats on the subs, fully deserved!! That smooth feature on the reverb will come very handy! I've never tried downsampling my reverbs before so I'll definitely give this a go!
much appreciated! still by far the best production videos on the platform
Congratulations on the subscribers! I have a feeling your going to get a lot more in the future. Thanks for the racks!
I'm so glad I've found you, been using sends for long time, this is game changing.
Thank you so much for the racks. You've gained another 7K subs in the space of 3 weeks since making this video, wow! I really appreciate your videos and have learned loads from them
Cheers on your new subscriber milestone! Thank you kindly for all of your hard work and for sharing these racks; you are a gem, good sir 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for so much great information and the racks! Congrats on 15k subs but you deserve way more! You can prepare your 50k racks already 🔥
Sir, you are the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you so much for sharing your effect racks! I am subscribed to many good music instruction channels, but your expertise is another level - keep up the great work. And congrats to almost 20k now!
Thanks for sharing.
Truly the channel that NEVER stops giving!
The track on its own is incredible ❤
Yessss been looking forward to these!
Many thanks for the explanation, it really solves a problem working this way. It has been quite easy to create some versions of my own ideas. Again, many thanks ❤
my gawd the amount of tedious work this knocks off is crazy
BEEN WAITING THIS RACK SO LONG HAHAA, THANK U SO MUCH FOR SO MUCH EFFORT!
You're such a legend, I can't wait for you to reach 100k subscribers because you deserve it already!
Top notch channel sir. Keep it coming 😎
another gem bro. keep it up i can’t explain how great these are
Thank you so much for providing the racks and the best tutorials ever!
Thank you very much for these racks
Quality content deserves the subs! As a long time Live user i use the "lazy" method on delays as inserts: When need to have long tail or something, i duplicate the track and have the snippet play trough different fx parameters. Maybe it's 'cos that is how it had to be done in Logic that didn't have racks. I do use racks a lot, but mostly for the macro knobs. It's nice to be able to change multiple parameters with just one knob.
Felt comfortable enough to release my first tech house with 90s diva chords clip almost entirely thanks to finding your channel a week ago. Nothing but heavy bass music and some metal mastering for 8 years before that lol can’t thank you enough for giving the ability to make music with intent in another genre I love
OMG that's great to hear, congratulations on the release! You've got further than most already. Keep it up! 👊❤️
Finally the racks. B you're the hero that we don't deserve but need 👊
Congrats on the 15k subs. Thank you for the 15k Racks. Thank you for your generosity. I am learning a lot and a few of the things I have been doing now have a name. Can you make a video about all the steps an independent needs to take from production to release? I understand if not. Anyway keep up the great videos, you are my goto channel, I hope to be able to buy you a cup of tea. Peace!!
Your knowledge and technically ability are something to behold.
what a legend you are
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing with us all these tips, I’ve learned tons with you !!!
Probably the best music production channel there is.
Terrific. Thank you!
Amazing!! Thank you 😮
Incredible my guy! Thank you for sharing!
Once again, great vid. 🎉 Being without a computer right now and unable to produce.. my motivation Is stunned. But you are bringing it back
Thank you for the great advice and for the racks. Much appreciated. 😃
honeslty very awesome to see you growing so fast!
Thanks for the blessings
top notch channel btw... this is golden! a joy to listen watch and learn! thanks for sharing
Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THE RACKS!!!! they sound damn good
You are a great teacher and a super cool person, thank you very much!
Bruh, I haven't even really started watching instructional portion of this video yet and this track is fire. Thanks for your videos and congrats on 15k you def deserve it
For real though, I'm having trouble paying attention cause this track is making it difficult for me to wanna sit still lol. Is this getting a release and if so where can I pick it up?
yeah the short instrumental is already out under the name lipstick. We have a certain release schedule for various legal reasons. the short 2min instrumental has to be first then 'spotify' and extended instrumentals then the vocal version has to be last.
Absolute King for this thank you! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much sir. Great stuff. Love your videos. They are the best out there
Amazing, thank you so much !! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the racks. Gratz with 17k! Great track in the video. I wish you make a video about how to make a track like this from start to finish.
I did, see the first live stream 👊❤️
Thanks
another nugget from the GOLDMINE thank you for your knowledge
Legend!! 🫡
Great overview & fantastic channel, thanks - pleased I've just found it :)
Thank you so much man.
I had no idea John Henshaw was into EDM 😜. Great tutorials. I wish there were resources like this when I was starting out.
Even though I've been doing it for decades, I still enjoy watching someone elses workflow. Music is spot on too. 👍
Great stuff, I'm grabbing these just to break them down to learn new things. And a coffee is on its way to you. ☕👊🏼
wow! thank you!
It’s funny that you were at 15k 2 months ago now you are at 26k. Solid information, I’m sure you know this but, thank you.
you deserve 1M!
I tip my hat at you sir. Great content thank you so kindly
thnks so much sir
You are the best man in the world

a true G
One of your bass videos is the primary reason I was able to make a track that finally sounded good in the club this weekend! Would love to have you review/roast it! It’s a remix of dancing in the moonlight by king harvest!
Awesome stuff. I’ll be taking these of your hands. No need for thanking me.
My pleasure!😂
THE GOAT
Clever methodology
I’m a noob but I love your videos - thank you so much bro!!!!
Wow this is awesome and really nice of you! 🎉 thank you!!!
BUY THIS GUY SOME COOOFFEEE!!!
Very fascinating way to handle send effects with the unique tools ableton offers. It won’t change my workflow much as I dump my raw sounds to pro tools. Nevertheless, the ability to create a sound similar to sends and print directly without printing a send track is awesome.
the rack is fantastic
Thank you 🙏
Makes me wish I had Ableton.....but unfortunately I'm an FL user.....but I have heard there is a one knob does all preset you can multiple plugins to........so I'll look into that.
Your channel really is taking off in a big way, I think that is down to the fact how you explain with depth, but with an ease of understanding and a totally down to earth approach.....long may you continue and the channel keep growing...👍👍
Ahh sorry, I do try to keep it daw agnostic usually but I was ill and my usual video fell through so this was a quick thing I could do in the meantime.
I'll have to check out FL options soon I'm sure it's possible in there too
What a Chad! Thanks mang
cool stuf 💚
Thanks..... very much appreciated.... ;)
real life goat
Super video and thanks for the racks! The track being played did you do a breakdown of this? Thanks again so much for your work and sharings x
Thanks. No break down yet, I'll try soon.
@@Bthelick great stuff. Dropped you a fee coffees for all the great work you've done 🙏🏻
Love the videos. Would love some tips and tricks on how to make a crap splice vocal work in a track. I spend hours trying to get something and it’s always naff. It seems the pros can get something simple and hook a whole track.
It's probably because we already have the ear training and experience to know what will work at the selection stage, and know what we need beforehand. So there's much much less guesswork and subsequent 'forcing' of something to work.
Regarding 'quality', a vocal that sounds 'crap' to you will have some other quality that makes it useful in some context. For example, you might mean 'crap' in terms of sound quality, but a bad recording could turn out to be a signature sound when a good producer recognises a trend of every other track in their genre sounding too clean . Or they might just have been listening to the rhythm or lyrics instead!
It's actually very hard to make a useful video on this for several reasons. In theory I could scroll through a bunch of samples and voice my thoughts on what is good / bad about each one, but I can't scroll through exposed splice samples on video, it's against their tos (because it just exposes their samples for people to rip) so can't do that.
Even if I could it still doesn't teach much, because beyond that is more often the case of knowing what you need BEFORE you start browsing, like rhythms that will match your bass, energy levels, voice types, key words etc etc etc. So judging samples in a vacuum is not the best education I could give.
Greetings!
This is why I subscribed to your channel...Ear training and knowing what sounds you need beforehand..
So thanks in advance💡🎥🎬🎤
love your vids mate, thank you for all your videos they've really helped me a lot, can you do a prog house tut? artists like spray, dj life, solar suite, Rudolf c etc? would be much appreciated.
I can add it to the list, lots of genres to get through!
What part of prog are you struggling with most? 🙏
I just can’t get the feel right, I’m not sure if I need to focus more on the bass? Or if I should be focusing more on the drums? I’ve tried to analyse mixes but my songs end up sounding very generic and badly put together I feel like I’m just out of my depth however I can make trance, techno and minimal house music with ease. Thank you so much for the reply mate
@@benjaminf.7121 hmmm, interesting.
I don't see bass or drums as the differentiator in progressive, to me those are very much the same as lots of other house, or trance.
i thought the hard bit of progressive was the progressive bit! the chord progressions and melody etc.
Obviously the bass will be different in the sense that it now has to follow a chord progression but the sound and rhythms. and maybe the kick drum needs more thought now you have moving bass (see my tuning kicks video)
@@Bthelick I think we may be talking about a different type of prog, if you check out artists like reflex blue there’s a song called mystic or any of spray’s stuff I’m talking about that style. It’s not so much chord progression it’s almost like a mix between psy house and trance.
@@Bthelick there’s a lot of that sort of prog coming out of Australia where I live at the moment
Would you still use a return for something common, say a static room reverb on your percussion.
Modified your delay rack to wrap the echo plugin and it’s already proved a useful pattern 🙌
That's the idea, just swap in any plugin you want!
If I worked like other people I would use common sends like room reverbs, but I don't haha.
I need the ability to pull sounds in from other sessions so it's just a habit at this point. I've not used sends in a session for many years.
Last time I mixed a rock project I used them though because the room they recorded in was terrible so I had to make a new virtual one to pull the 'picture' together.
But that's not something I usually feel the need to do in electronic music.
hi Bthelick, you are a fantastic dude! This is a little bit off topic BUT: Can you do in your how to series a video on US Classic House? Par example: Praxis feat. Kathy Brown 'Turn me Out' (Garage Extended Mix) on Cutting records. Further, i would appreciate to see some US Style Soulhouse productions (nervous records, kerry chandler and so on!) many thanks! I try it again and again, but don't come up this level! Your content is very important for beginners, but also long time producers have to learn so much from you! many regards from switzerland
Treasure!
Oh yeah we here first and going to get some racks!
Have you heard or this tool you can install that makes a zoom bubble on what your cursor Is pointing at.. i have seen it in other vidéos... Helps a lot in overview scènes , especially for those like me who watch you on their phones.
I think I already have it.
The problem was it didn't let me customise the short cut key, and it clashes with one of ableton's (I think it was the same as toggle full screen). I'll have a look for others thanks for letting me know 👊❤️
@@Bthelick No worries. As you may have noticed. I'm Always upfront and i really wish your success. ✌️ Also it would help me haha, on a serious note.. i just believe that newcomers to ableton need that focus to read and see exactly what you point at .. to bé able to follow with compréhension.. AT least that's my pov. ✌️
This is really awesome, thank you for sharing these!!
Since we are taking about workflow what are your thought on having a default template, can you share your insight?
I don't have one personally. I just drag in parts from other songs as needed. But I do lots of new music every week and the sound signature of my music is not important to my brand. So my methods won't apply to most.
Use whatever makes starting and finishing a track the easiest for you.
@@Bthelick I still have to find.a good way to use it, I have made several, but I always run into the same problem I make it to complicated, and if I make it less complicated I have to setup a few thing every time, I give a try to using racks instead of returns , and I also should reuse more of the previous sounds, and thank you for taking time from your day to replay, much appreciated,.
Hey, the tutorial is aamzing, can you kindly tell me from where is the piano or where can I download it?? I really want it for my jams !
This piano is the Rock Piano from the Korg X5D.
you can get the samples for free from vst-store.com in SF2 format.
what version of ableton live are the racks for? mine is the 11 suite and it doesn't open :(, congratulations for the great content big fan from Brazil!
11.1
Your house beats are amazing, would be great to see how you make them 😉
"Beats" in the general sense or the drums?
I show it best in the first live stream called "making piano house from scratch" from about 30mins onwards. 👊
@@Bthelick I mean drums :) I will check it out. Thanks so much
@@georgek3627 basically the principle is pick your sounds along side a reference and then leave them alone!
@@Bthelick it’s so hard to match the reference, you make it look so easy 😂
@@georgek3627 yep ear training is a big part of it. That's why I don't make many processing videos. There's no point teaching any process because the process is only chosen after aural assessment, and it's that assessment that I can't teach. It's just time and experience (and lots of referencing)
Loving the videos 👍 just wondering if you are able to share any of your knowledge on mixing/mastering please 🙏
There's already so much on CZcams, if I did that my channel wouldn't be unique in any way.
The thing is, it's also the thing that matters the least believe it or not.
and it just comes with time anyway.
The answer is the same to most problems: reference more!
Also, none of my tracks are mastered, they just go out as is, and I barely mix because I have the ear training to get the sound selection right in the first place, so without you having my ears my advice is pretty moot anyway as you can't hear what I hear!
Just reference more!
The why is always more important than the what, I find most people asking mix questions get fixated on arbitrary numbers like DBs, hzs and lufs and none of it matters.
Music is emotional and your biggest problem is going to be understanding groove etc, which memorising numbers can't solve.
Just reference more!
Check out my first live stream you can see my process from start to finish.
I recommend channels ; Dan Worall and House of Kush. They give the best mixing advice I've heard.
Also don't forget, reference more!
@@Bthelick thanks so much, appreciate that!
What are your opinions on Logic Pro X? Pros and Cons?
Daw doesn't matter is my opinion! Whatever inspires you and looks like it makes most sense to you from tutorials.
Well explained, nice tools, you're awesome! Keep it up!
I spy the 'polymetric melodic techno' tool tribute - is that the track you used in the finish track in 30 minutes video?
PS huge Tool fan. I have also wanted to experiment with some Meshuggah-style ideas for melodic techno so that's an interesting one!
Haha good spot! I've always loved tool. That's a separate track using the same idea. I was trying a baseline similar to the grudge, with a melodic techno topline similar to vicarious. 👊
Thanks, I'm trying to recreate in Bitwig, would you be able to update this and show what the Macro/Controls were affecting in the devices?
They are literally just a volume control into the 100% wet effect, in parallel to a dry channel. The macros are mapped to the main parameters of the effect, like reverb time to time , reverb pre delay to delay etc. There's nothing too complicated.
The only non native parameters are on the reverb quality which controls quality, room size, diffusion amount, high freq absorption, early reflection, and a wet dry mix of a sample crusher.
All the tone controls are just eq or filters either before or after the effect (which ever sounds better)
If you want the fake stereo, I explain how voxengo's effect works in the bass processing video.
Smudger is just a high pass filter into a reverb that gets wetter.
Interesting info, but I'm not on that level yet to use it effectively
