All About Saturator In Ableton Live

In this video, I explain All About Saturator In Ableton Live 9/10/11. I explain the concept of waveshaping and clipping, as well as all its features: Drive, X-Y display, DC, Colour and its filter controls (Base, Frequency, Width and Depth), Signal shaping fixed modes, waveshaping mode (Drive, curve, Depth, Linear, Damp, Period), Soft Clip, Output and Dry/Wet.

[@ProfessorSaibertin]

Thanks:)

[@scrummyvision]

been using Ableton for a decade and never used waveshaper, thanks for the great explanation!!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

No worries glad you got something new out of it! :)

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

Saturator = life ! Nice to see someone like you ( happy) showing ableton content!

[@TonyS-440]

Thank you for making this! Been using the built in devices more lately to actually learn Ableton Live and not rely on VST and Saturator has been in many of my fx chains lately. This video helped me gain a bit more understanding!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

So happy you liked it! ☺️

[@Flubbbby]

Just found your channel, great videos thank you ! The editing and explanations make it waaay easier to digest compared to the 60min in-depth youtube tutorials on DAWs

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Glad to hear! ☺️😄

[@davidpotsdam]

As a LOL serious musician I should not dig your videos ,but I can't help it you are very cool. thanks

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

We all are serious musicians here!

[@randyrankin682]

As a veteran user of Saturator, I submit that this is an excellent beginner tutorial.

[@thomas_rellum]

I don’t know why they don’t have yet update with a simple button to compensate the drive with the output

[@jm6734]

Word! The same with gain staging. It’s awkward and could’ve easily been made smooth.

[@josephrichards7624]

probably a silly question, but the graph that you were showing with the x as the input and the y as the output. I can't understand what it actually means. When the x axis is further along the right, what does that represent? More time or higher frequency? Or something else? If it didn't have time or frequency it would just be two bars in a bar graph right?! Thankyou.

[@robertjames4908]

Hi, I believe the x- axes is the signal amplitude pre- saturator vs y-axes the signal amplitude post saturator. Hence the flatlining (y) above a certain input amplitude (x) on the analog clipping (so it behaves like a nice sounding limiter)

[@jessicalake5696]

Thanks LNA! Hello from Chicago! Glad to know I have an encyclopedia of Ableton knowledge at my fingertips, patiently explained by a funny friend!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hah amazing! Happy to help ☺️

[@Manu-em6ed]

explaining a plugin with a curve visualisation, without describing what the axes of the graph stand for, is kind of odd to me. SPOILER: horizontal axe is input, vertical axe is output, so the curve describes the relationship between input values and output values.

[@jjlyonsound]

this is what I came for! thank you

[@CuriousPassenger]

1:29 ?

[@luciaterenzi9445]

She explains it

[@DJSTOEK]

Thank you!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

You're welcome!

[@anitav3316]

Awesome stuff as always. I have a better understanding of saturation now, thanks so much. Love your channel!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Awesome! Glad you liked it ☺️

[@DenesDobai]

the waveshaper option is sick.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Totally

[@edwinbrown9951]

Really nice video. Thank you!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Glad you liked it!

[@reiherreracl3459]

the depth basically is modulating the original signal. modulation is the word maybe :D

[@turquoisemansion]

This is so cute and diy but rlly helpful

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Happy to hear 😊

[@HEADSGONE]

you're a legend thank youu

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

☺️🙏

[@hansiklabau4564]

Quota Exceeded !

[@captainbleep]

This was very helpful. Thank you! Is there any possibility of doing another Saturator video but this time using musical content? I struggle to get Saturator to do what I feel like it should be doing. Kiitos!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Happy you liked it! Yes will do a video showing it action in couple of week time ☺️

[@kansengronrang6750]

Thank You so much!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

my pleasure!

[@dasdasdasdass]

hello, everything was clear for me and understandable except damp. what's grids origin? and what exactly is damp doing can you explain further? thanks in advance.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Ok so if you apply the damp it will turn down the signal (so like a really quick noise gate) around the x-y cross-over point (grid's origin). This control will work again together with the other dials. So it can either have a really warm and dampening effect or it can just shape how the frequencies work in the wave. Hope this cleared out a bit more! :)

[@Kosich2]

ok, I suscribe :)

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Great thanks 😄

[@t2beatzmusic]

👍👍✌✌

[@Bronwyn031]

Hi Lina, me again. Have you covered "Grouping" versus "Busing" in Ableton Live? I've been busing everything to a effects chain on a bus track but I'm starting to hear whispers that it's actually more beneficial to just slap effects onto track groups. Do you have an opinion over this?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hi yes this is a good topic! I should do a video about that actually. Groups have their benefits comparing to return tracks. I do have a video about return tracks :)

[@viktorkruna]

Useful, thank you. I love saturators!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Happy you liked it! ☺️

[@stoneybeats965]

Great video but the guitar in your background is like inside that bass on the wall and is tripping me up😂😂😂

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hah 😂 melted together?

[@darodardar]

What a total babe, I learned a lot from this vid, Thanks!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hah happy you liked it! ☺️

[@Bronwyn031]

Long time no see Lina. Question and maybe a subject for a future video. What is your opinion on analog vs digital effects. rather VSTs versus analog hardware? This just seems to be a very contentious debate among the community.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hello! Nice to see you again! I think both can do amazing things. I think analog gear and processing can have lots of power add amazing character to the signal. But VST processing has developed a lot too and you can get amazing results with it nowadays. So... I don't really think there is again 'right or wrong' or 'better and worse'. Just because every signal and every purpose is different.. and every budget. :)

[@vashistasuressh9030]

Lovely tutorial babe 😘 ❤

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks so much ☺️
