Cool!

Anything else you'd like to see me cover on this channel?

[@elgee2007]

So glad I discovered your channel! It's like a light has been turned on after stumbling around in the dark. Thank you! Grammy nomination? You should have won it and also one for tutorial quality!

[@EDMTips]

Shortlisted not nominated, but thanks for the kind words of support!

[@Stacity]

Will is probably the best teacher out there why he simplifies everything without causing confusion . Thanks Will I always learn something new from your videos . Loved the vocal reverb trick too nice track.

[@EDMTips]

Awesome! Glad to help :)

[@martincraig2453]

Excellent tips as usual

[@EDMTips]

Thanks, Martin!

[@PhilipSchroth]

Awesome tips. Thank you.

[@TENKATRANCE]

Im blown away over the SC reverb... :)

[@EDMTips]

Cool! It's a beauty 😎

[@Andrewjamesmusic]

Thank you will. I've been trying to find an exact video like this to utilise all AUX channels. Keep them coming!! 🔥

[@EDMTips]

Thanks, will do!

[@danielribeiro4618]

Tipp 5 with the Vocals = Gold!!! I will implement this in my template thanks

[@EDMTips]

BOOM! 🙌🙌 Go for it :)

[@shmish]

Love the drum rack, reverb sidechain and final mix compression. Saa-weeeet

[@EDMTips]

@@EDMTips I’ve thought a lot about this. What can I say, you’ve been incredibly generous as it is. Three things that I wonder about: what makes elements come to the front and back of a mix; how to mix our drums so that they’re not crowded in the center (a proper mix sounds both driving from the center but also spread out); maybe a video that talks about the structure of different elements like fills, tension build up to a break, tension build up in general, etc. That last one is stuff you cover in your “how to make a song like” series, but this would be a shorter reference-like video.

[@АндрійШайтанов]

Btw saturator on a return track is also very useful.

[@EDMTips]

Glad it was useful, Andriy! 🙌🏻

[@zyberbob]

Nice and informative video.. cool.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks a lot!

[@LagomorphaMusic]

As always: Very inspiring! Thank you! I love the idea with the different delays in one Send-Channel and the compressor-thing. Great! I can‘t wait to test it. And now I know how to send different drum-rack-sounds to a Send-Channel. I was wondering FOR YEARS how to do this. Right mouse click… Things can be so easy. 😁 One video-wish: Could you do a video about how to deal with phase cancellation or how to mix a song that sounds good in mono and stereo?

[@EDMTips]

My pleasure!

[@keithr336]

Brilliant quick video, again. Thank you Will

[@EDMTips]

My pleasure!

[@TheLeekyFeeder]

Using these tools is what I would love to learn more about. Thanks for the video.

[@EDMTips]

[@TheLeekyFeeder]

@@EDMTips I would love one on twisting and chopping samples. Its early on in my production life and I am quite sample based at the moment. I love finding one or two samples and twisting them throughout the track to create a vibe. Would be great to see your take on how to easily manipulate, warp, change and basically completely mess around with a sample so that it sounds completely different. If not that...then creating space in the mix and having everything sound so clear would definitely be of interest. Thanks for the reply! Love the videos. Big Up!

[@mark-yj5sg]

Brilliant and easy to understand. Thanks

[@EDMTips]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulnoupier665]

Multi-tap delay is fcking amazing and I didn't know anything about it! Huge thks!!

@@EDMTips It would be great if you could do a video on how to refresh and excite your passion when you've been away from producing for a few months. I have this issue right now, i'm at intermediate level at best, i took 4 months out and i now feel that i've forgotten everything i learnt :(

[@olympia14ify]

Can You share your ABLETON TEMPLATE that you created for this Video !

[@EDMTips]

Yep! Will do :)

[@jeffrdkt4213]

If your FX are on a send/return, what happens to them when you export your stems for mixing?

[@EDMTips]

They'll get bounced out as separate stems

[@markemerson98]

gold - can we also use an aux channel for side chain for routing pads and other tracks for that pump effect?

[@FennezMarson]

Wonderful explanation, thank you very much! One question: Does the order in which I send matter? E.g. You want to have your Echo (D) before your Room (A) - would you have to change the order of your AUX channels or does that not matter at all as you use them as sends instead of inserts?

[@reflexin5150]

Do you think you could make a tutorial about brooks or future bounce music? Or maybe future rave?

[@EDMTips]

Future Rave coming soon ;)

[@rosiette-audio-label]

I have sent your video to my Mastering in FL Studio KZbin playlist. Sorry, but I haven't found a decent edm mastering track yet (at least for #FLStudio). I really love how your tracks sound. A #FlatMastering, to give a clear and clean sound, with such rich harmonics, with those warm mids, and that characteristic sound. That's what I hate about the finished FL Studio tracks that I always hear out there (including from some "PRO" channels). They all sound #equalized at the end of their mix. Which will further degrade its quality once released. When people EQ it AGAIN later because they want a nice sound, which will make it sound dark and over-equalized. On purpose. Excellent track! Greetings from Argentina.

[@mvanaken7910]

Within the drum rack, how can I create more than 6 return channels? It gives me an error, "no commands available". I need at least 16 return channels for the whole kit.

[@ahmtTyln]

Have you released that track..?? Among a few good tunes..perfect 👍👏🏻👌 💯

[@DeejayRach0]

Quality video Thank you!

Hi. Please make a vid covering Paul Woolford's 'Erotic Discourse'.

i notice my sends only sound good when i switch * them to sends only? why is that when i am setting the verb to 100 percent wet?

You content creators would get much much much more support if you just got to the point. A 12 minute video when we just wanted to know how to create aux tracks in Ableton.

Why would you watch a 12 minute video for that instead of just Googling it and reading a two line answer??

This video probably shouldn’t even be free 🫣 thanks for this! Learned so much in so little time.
