6:10 why wouldnt you use MIDI Shaper and sidechain it to the note of the kick? Not all drum patterns are 4/4 or fall or even beat grid. Btw, subscribed 😊

[@dbdbdb12345]

Excellent !!! thank you ! loved the third one 💯

[@CJMattias]

You want your sidechain to begin 5ms before the kick, because of ringing etc. Will reduce peaks by a lot 😉

[@nico_moro_]

With the lookahead you can make that ?

[@leon3589]

I love the track! Is it released?

[@Wendel_Kos]

thanks!!! i was looking for the shaper + utility!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 i wish there was a simple M4L that does this without mapping stuff, for the Push 3 (like that Kickstarter plugin)

[@thelionzmusic]

#3 is perfect for house music, but for drum and bass/dubstep, would you have to create 2 different instances of EQ8 for the kick and the snare, and pay attention to the frequencies taken up by both? Would that not result in a very highly ducked sound? Genuinely curious as I’ve been producing for 16 years, and have experimented with tonnes of different sidechain techniques, never found one that doesn’t lead to pumping when I’d rather not have pumping.

Nice!

[@NadalikMusic]

Thank you for your video, it is very useful ! Sorry to look stupid, I tried to find a link to Ableton Project file of the track which played in this video. Where is it located?

[@alienmachine]

Interesting. Could the 3rd technique be done with a multiband compressor as well?

[@otdalenno]

I guess it could because you can automate by Envelope follower almost any knob and parameter in Ableton

[@snellejellee7626]

Yeah this is possible!

[@paul6925]

Are shaper and envelope follower new to Ableton 12? How have I not noticed these

[@joshsutton-smith1245]

Nah on 11 also

[@paul6925]

@@joshsutton-smith1245 huh thanks!

[@yuriuser]

Yeah, it's from max for live.

[@mttlsa686]

I always try to shape kick and bass with equalization and sound design first, making them fit into a "bottom end pocket" which will be entirely filled only when kick and bass are overlapping, but with the minimum possible amount of masking. I don't even need sidechaining most of the times.

[@oguzaltintas_ofcc]

or maybe you can use MB Comp

[@lazarus1438]

soothe 2 does this very well ;)

[@alex-ivanov-w1l]

[@Top10soon]

I feel like 1 and 3 are almost or pretty much the same

[@discoRyne]

You did not pay attention then 😛

[@Jamonbambibon]

Get rid of the bed music…. Very distracting…. Rest of the content is great…. Just no need for filler music

[@JayKaye_v1]

😂😂😂😂

[@ninjazorro]

Interesting video with boring music…

[@cenktahtaci]

Too many empty videos. Is something going wrong lately?

[@johnymst]

For god sake please stop teaching people to sidechain low end with a compressor. This massive GR will make your bass sound like ass on a big system... Although compressor has this sidechain option, it is not designed to do this stuff. All PML tutorials and templates use this technique and it's no good. Other techniques are alright but you're introducing phasing with EQ. It's best to use plugins that are designed for this purpose.
