Best tutorial on the subject
Really appreciate it. I’ve had a hard time trying to figure this out.
Perfect! Thanks for the very useful video!
Thanks, very useful tutorial
Thanks Mitch
actua;ly really helpful ty
Followed everything, but none of it records. I hear the external effects, but it only captures the dry sound.
when using as a send you could not use the plug in as you could compensate for latency and get a better signal as less processing
I have been trying to use my external gear with Ableton and I was following everything but I was unable to listen to the wet signal in real time, after watching this video I have realised that my monitoring button on the track where external effect plugin is inserted was not turned to IN , I am not sure whether this was the reason why i was unable to hear the wet signal from the outboard gear in real time, but in another video the monitoring button was not set to IN and the guy was still able to hear the wet signal in real time.
I will try turning it to IN.
Thank you Mitch.
Did this end up working? I have the same issue.
Great Vid !! I want to use my Avalon 747 in the same way .. looking for an audio interface with 4 outputs .. Can I use the Apollo Solo? or do I need the Twin version .. before buying it .. thx
Is it possible to I use multiple outboard processors on one channel by adding another external effect plugin with different outboard gear?
Just the video I have been waiting for. When you export the master of the song, do you have to print the master first with the fx or will they be added automatically during the export?
They get added, but make sure you add time at the end to compensate for delay / reverb trails
Adam's right about that, and a couple other things to make sure you have in order before exporting are latency compensation and making sure everything is correctly phase aligned (as mentioned in the video). I personally don't like printing a master with active external effects in the mix. I always create new tracks for my hardware sends, record them back in, and then make sure everything's looking and sounding good before muting the original tracks and exporting a final mix. It's a little more work, but it works every time.
My confusion is how do i use the same out oard gear on each track with different settings. When we use plugins it is unlimited we can drag the same pluging to 20 channels and use different setting but with analogue gear it's not possible. I mean nobody will by 20 LA 2A compressors for each channels. How do I save different settings on different channeks using only one outboard EQ for instance?
I want to run vocals through my wa76 compressor but it makes a crazy delay when i turn the "wet" knob past 30% on the "external audio effect" plugin. So i turned the wet to around 5 - 15% and its ooorite. I can see the compressor squashing the vocals on my wa76 , but when i freeze and flatten, its not compressed at all. Am i doing everything right or is pro tools is the answer to my problems?
I have tried to use this function of ableton numerous times, it never works in any useable way.
lost me after 3 minutes
This guy has obviously never actually done this... it doesn't work. When you do this you are layering the external effect with original signal... which in the case of effects MIGHT be okay... but in the case of outboard gear like EQs and compressors, it's useless. And because ableton always requires the signal from ableton to drive the effects, you can't mute it to monitor what is happening via the external effects... THAT sends zero signal to the external effects. The people who make ableton are completely CLUELESS. You can switch off a channel and see the signal still present only greyed out... so WHY,WHY,WHY,WHY,WHY does that ALSO mute the signal to the ROUTING!!!!!!??????????????????
I’m literally trying to figure this out rn…
