Watching you vibe out to the tracks is actually the best thing!

[@DeltaNovum]

She looks positively glowing when doing it. It's both beautiful and wholesome when someone is able to enjoy something/their own work so much!

[@kan3d46]

Amazing! 🤯 Thank you!

[@chejoseofficialTV]

Great tips Alice, another good tip is to get Parallel compression, Parallel Distortion on the vocals and EQ just the Mid so it pops through, you can also add redux overdrive ect, even some clipping! on the parallel channels, this is great because it allows the clean signal to pop through, while keeping that dirty distorted sound nicely blended to give the Vocals further aggression.

[@Alice-Efe]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PilzE.]

Again, just purest gold! The envelope follower, and the vocal reverb freeze ambiance are fantastic, but then, it is ALL fantastic!

[@cl2dlope]

Awesome and inspiring! Thank you! 😊

[@Alice-Efe]

I've always wondered where those airy noises from the sound packs come from... Now I know 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. I think it's kinda like those guys who reveal magic tricks, tho. Like you wanna know, but it takes the magic out of it lol. Thanks for your work!!

[@deafalienzulu]

Nice 👌 👽

[@Moof__]

Girl ur so pretty ur so inspiring that thing w the chords (and the passing notes) made me go like damn (also u gotta talk abt how important delay is for passing notes like u cant skip it)

[@Alice-Efe]

Aww thanks a ton!

[@user-rb1go5hn9e]

Nice track at the end, 👍

[@akashrj3]

Awesome rock Star ⭐✨❤❤

[@martinlarrivee5081]

The white noise trick is very cool thank you

[@Alice-Efe]

Happy to help!

[@reMutable]

Nice tips thanks ! What soft to you use to make this cool effect on Ableton when the track is playing ?

[@Alice-Efe]

Cheers! Though I am not sure which effect you mean.

[@YoureNowOnTV]

Awesome tips very useful thanks! It's hard to translate Ableton Live into Logic Pro, but the basic ideas do work across DAW's.

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you! Come over to Ableton!😊

[@williamchen454]

The best audio youtuber

[@Cult_of_the_Mantis]

I've actually bought a notepad for your videos because you definitely explain things that I'd like to write down to refer to, you're always very helpful, thank you.

[@Alice-Efe]

I like to write down when I learn as well. I can definitely relate! 😊✌

[@Cult_of_the_Mantis]

@@Alice-Efe I learn a lot from your channel, it's nice how you don't just do tips for a certain genre but more production and music in general ❤‍🔥🔥

[@hellvenmusic]

I use Obsidian for the same purpose lol

[@kid_missive]

[@eugenio8652]

U rock, girl!

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you! 🤘

[@zachslav1844]

The example songs on this are so good when are they coming out

[@Alice-Efe]

We will see. It will probably take a while :)

[@Godels_revolution]

Yes!! Too much fun and great ideas! Do you have a discord community?

[@Alice-Efe]

Yes we do! You can find the Discord link on the description

[@reillydavis5016]

your hacks are awesome then at the end we get rewarded with a great banging tune

[@AFNacapella]

what did DJing teach you about producing and vice versa? when arranging out something new, does the club mix come first or the single mix?

[@Alice-Efe]

It made me a more experienced producer when it comes to what works on dance floor but it didn’t change too much what and how I produce. Maybe I have a better energy control with my tracks but I still go for the “vibe” and the “feel”. One of the best comments I got after a festival gig was that one guy sprang to me and told me it was the most “felt” set he had whole festival. And it made me happy because that is exactly what I like to go for. So it thought me to make tracks that people can dance their heart out ♥️

[@Boaugustin]

the song at 5.50 min looks so great !! will you release it ?? so gorgeous

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you. It is one of my unreleased IDs. It will eventually get released 😊

[@Keroser1983]

Amazing!' Also where are the song from? They all sound amazing

[@Alice-Efe]

They are all my unreleased IDs

[@MidnightInExile]

Some great tips and tricks here. Overdriving vocals is a bad one for anything but industrial, goth, and some metal though. Muddles them too much. Not muddy. Muddle.

[@TheMidnightPerverts]

On tip #1 use M/S procesing, sidechain mostly mid, that way you dont kill the sides of the sidechained channel. Same thing with vocals, instead of a lead

[@shuffleswing2021]

Thanks for all. (a Spiffing Brit fan? 😉)

[@Alice-Efe]

Haha finally a cultured tea lover!

[@jaconova]

8:26 your smile! :) I can tell you have soul, Alice (and skills/knowledge oc!). Would love to see you going deep into the most soulful-complex techhouse/progressive house territory, though I know edm and melodic house/techno is more your thing.

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you! I enjoy producing different genres so you never know. 😊

[@Godels_revolution]

I wanna be friends!

[@deveyous6614]

So basically what your saying is, I need to buy Soothe2? haha. Great vid, that tune at the end is nuuuuuuuuts!! 🤯

[@silly8395]

damn,...that soothe sidechain now looks so obvious :) ..great tips like always ,...thnx

[@Alice-Efe]

It is really a "cheat". I love especially combining it with multiband comp.

[@carlosvenu]

Is there some way to achieve the envelope follower technique in FL Studio?

[@Alice-Efe]

I am not an FL user but hopefully our FL experts in community can help you out.

[@soer4964]

Hi Alice. Thanks for this awesome video. I'm not an Ableton Live user, so I can't relate to envelope follower and utility. Can you think of other DAW users, what they can use instead of the Ableton plug-ins, when giving Tipps like these? Would ve very helpful.

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you! You can use other thirdparty plugins and just sidechain it to the source audio probably. I never looked for envelope follower plugins as ableton has a very good one.

[@soer4964]

@@Alice-Efe I see. May I ask, what the utility plugin in Ableton does, so I can look for a 3rd party plugin? 😊

[@Alice-Efe]

It control the volume. So Envelope follower it linked to utility so volume followes the envelope. @@soer4964

[@soer4964]

@@Alice-Efe Thank you very much. Have a great day

[@Boaugustin]

waaa the song at 10min38 is so coooool too omg

[@Alice-Efe]

😊✌

[@LukeIcardMusic]

I love the track at 3:51! Are you gonna be asking for remixes?

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you! Not at the moment

[@julianwittler7601]

Wow the track in the end is soon gonna be on spotify or already is?! Am i right? 😁💪

[@antxoncarbonero]

I really need to change from Cubase to Ableton... Anyway, I love this channel.

[@Alice-Efe]

Go for it! It could be even easier to translate things from the videos that way 😊

[@akifkayis]

Hello, two days ago I download cubase pro 13, it is absolutely terrible complex daw, it was a very bad experience for me and after 1 day I deleted cubase. It's good news switched to ableton, simple is everytime great.

[@mattymenck]

Please do a drum loop and piano sample pack like your speed house track @min. 01:48. Would be great !

[@Alice-Efe]

I never thought about it, this could be something I may do in the future! 😊

[@Vymix]

whats the name of the song from the passing note (chords section)? Unreleased?

[@Alice-Efe]

It is one of my IDs. Not released yet

[@Vymix]

guessed so, waiting for release then!@@Alice-Efe

[@primitiveforces8078]

Alice which is the song used during passing note?

[@Alice-Efe]

It is one of my unreleased IDs.

[@primitiveforces8078]

@@Alice-Efe Beautiful song!

[@Alice-Efe]

What other cheats do you guys have? ✌️

[@amigow0306]

Is there a difference between maximizer and a limiter?

[@Alice-Efe]

Nowadays they are used interchangiable but traditional limiter was only a tool that trims the peaks for certain threshold. Maximizer had more options including extra saturation/distortion settings. So you could not only clip the peaks but also do it with extra saturation and clipping settings and target specific bands.

[@amigow0306]

@@Alice-Efe good to know.. can i combine saturn and l2 for this ? wont buy another plugin :D

[@Alice-Efe]

@@amigow0306 of course! Go for it.
