10 Ableton Tips Only PROS Know About

[@ElectroFlightExplorer]

Really liked the format. I like you invited this guest who is super relevant and as inspiring as you. I'll preciously bookmark this video. Thank you Will.

[@diegothepokemontrainer]

Will I loved this format of video! Really cool to see you hosting other professionals sharing their own tips. It would be incredible if you did a video about managing CPU in your ableton projects and PC in general. I have a 2015 Macbook Pro that nowadays can barely handle a 20 track project with 4 or 5 instances of Serum on it, even with my buffer size maxxed out and sample rate set to a modest 44.1. I'm sure there are other factors at play here that I might be unaware of (using an external display to show my session view in a different window for example)

[@northhallbabe13]

i have the same exact problem with my 2017 as well

[@NeilTimbers]

Bring the tips on! Just downloaded Ableton and about to start the learning curve.

[@EDMTips]

Nice one! Welcome to the most fun hobby in the world! 🙂🙌🏻

[@Lishkabro]

A journey for life, always learning. Enjoy.

[@jl9205]

LOVE the latecy and arrangement tips! Great video!

[@MatthewYates1]

This was really needed. I truly appreciate you sharing this awesome video.

[@tommyfeinstoff]

That actually been some useful tips! Thank you. More of this.

[@stanlee24]

superb... I didn't know these hidden tricks

[@sourbaileys]

This helped me SOOOOO MUCH thank you my G. Bless you.

[@OrbGoblin]

Honestly I thought these were gonna go over my head because I've only been at it for a few months, but this was SUPER helpful. Thanks!

[@EDMTips]

You’re welcome, glad it was helpful 🙂🙌🏻

[@GPeter]

I'm so happy to watch this video, feels like i'm pro already as i knew all of em :D

[@EDMTips]

Haha, stoked to hear that!

[@iBananenjoghurt]

important addition to tip 2. change the output of the reference track to 1/2 instead of Master. In this way, plugins on the master channel will not affect the reference track

[@EDMTips]

That’s a good one!

[@lespieces]

is that different from selcting 'Ext Out' like we normally do? very curious

[@RolledInARaw]

You have given me some information I needed thak you.

[@EDMTips]

Stoked to hear that! Thanks for watching and glad you found ut helpful 🙂

[@RolledInARaw]

@@EDMTips 6 weeks ago I opened abelton and was a Wtf! But watching your beginners playlist and I'm not done yet think I have one left. I know what is in front of me I have created from midi now which is ace. 🙌👑 Take a bow sir 🙌👑

[@kairicoyour1030]

This helped me so much!!

[@jean-marcdecanter7719]

Very usefull CTRL I !

[@SUPAROCKINDJSMASH]

😊 cool ideas..appreciate the help 🙏

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome! Thanks for always for watching and supporting 🙂 By the way, which one was your favourite?

[@machinedrum]

Don’t forget on tip 2 to assign the output of the reference track to your interface output instead of master, otherwise you’ll hear the reference track processed by whatever is on your master bus

[@drbeats2169]

Some good tips here - nice one 👍 👌 😊

[@EDMTips]

Cheers, really glad you found it helpful! By the way, which one was your favourite?

[@drbeats2169]

CMD SHIFT D & CMD SHIFT BACK Great quick short cuts Surprised myself how many I knew already ?! 👨‍🏫

some golden tips right there , thanks

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome, glad you found them helpful! Which one was your favourite?

[@genuinesoundsmusic]

Hey great content. Is there a way to see / add the master bus plug ins (chain) from other Projects ? The loading method with " Current Projects " shows all the tracks with its content and plug ins, but NOT the Master Bus..

[@lucac3461]

With tip 4 is there a way to save the track so that you could use it on a later project?

[@lucac3461]

Ignore this is tip 6 LMAO

[@darrenrobinson8317]

Love the hidden preset!!! Anyone know anymore hidden presets?

[@Trem.official]

OTT is the most popular one. It is inside 'Multiband Dynamics' built in audio effect

[@antoineschillemans]

fantastic guys!!! greetz from amsterdam!

[@littlehelix]

Very helpful!!

[@davidcarter3976]

I apologize if this is the wrong video for this but you said what genres do we want you to help us create, can you make a song in the spirit of trentemoller royscop remix. Pretty sure he only did one of them I can't remember what it's called right now, but you'll know it when you searching on KZbin because it's one of the best tracks ever made.

[@somatronic]

Please help on TIP 6 , I have production files everywhere , how do I get them into one location. I need some housekeeping help!!

[@0.62-w9i]

7:50 smiled, right click :) near the "color of the category" numbers are indicated, you can add to favorites by simply pressing the keyboard .. remove from the category - similarly :) ..

[@TheNicktronic]

Whaaat tip 4 is so simple, been using ableton over 15 years now and never ever wondered why that folder is there 😂

[@Six2Nine]

Thy Sir! Very good 😊

[@EDMTips]

Thank you, really appreciate the support! 🙂🙌🏻

[@TheHutchMusic]

The "hide groups" was a new one on me. That will be very useful. Thanks. #madeinthehutch

[@Trem.official]

You are welcome, glad you liked it :-)

[@mfkmusiic]

ı love this format

[@jaym2112]

I passed this video up for a couple weeks because of the thumbnail and title. Content was way better than the slimy salesmanship led me to believe.

[@EDMTips]

Thank you for the feedback, perhaps we'll change that :)

[@terk-dawn]

Your content is so good that you don't need to do any soy faces.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! 🙂

[@visible7044]

@@EDMTips what a terrible thumbnail almost instantly unsubscribed despite being a somewhat regular viewer.

[@kalnzb]

About Tip #8. I think there's a bit of mistake in the video while explaining shortcuts. As per Live 11 manual which says: "To slide the contents of a clip within the clip’s boundaries, hold CTRL-Shift(Win) / ALT-Shift(Mac) while dragging the clip’s waveform or MIDI display. To bypass grid snapping, hold down CTRL-ALT-Shift(Win) / CMD-ALT-Shift(Mac) while dragging the clip’s contents." So just to clarify this and it works.

[@markstephenson9280]

Ableton always has a secret you dont know, I thought i knew it all but CRTL - ALT- SHIFT - DRAG is literally a massive timesaver with moving vocals in place, Cheers!

[@bledarndreu2895]

Hello could you make a tutorial for how to see span in master and plug in you working with in a channel please many people have this problem I struggle when creating leads kicks bass I gotta switch all day! A producer told me there is an option in ableton 11 in View to second window i did it but no matter I have 2 different windows I get same plug in let's say I have opened one in channel Ana 2 plug in and a second for master and I have same plug ins when I click on span in one window it switches at the same plug in the other one and when I click in Ana 2 in the first window I get same plug in in the other one so I have 2 different views I get same plug in both no matter what I do

[@ElectricEddieDaus]

Hi Will, Have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Maybe you can help me. When right clicking on a Solo button you get a choice of "Solo in Place" What does that do? Thx.. ElectricEddie

[@brianpiano7235]

I don't enjoy this format. Will you're the best music teacher I've ever seen in my whole life and I prefer to see only you on this channel always. Thank you so much

Loved all tips…so good I’m pretty sure I only knew a couple 🙌🏼☺️

[@brianpiano7235]

I knew all of them except the last one.

[@djnowhere123]

For tip 2, you could just activate the crossfader and put the reference track on one side and the rest on the other side.

[@Triskaimusic]

I can't believe you didn't pronounce DAW as Dah-W 😂. Anyway saving these tips for when I get Ableton

[@Trem.official]

after reading this the 5th time I'm still laughing 🤣

[@emcee19.05]

Tip number 6, all I can say is, to quote a classic: Woah!

[@bassnstoff8621]

Nice

[@zsteinkamp]

Make sure the output of your reference tracks is the output channels of your interface (Ext Out) rather than your Main/Master channel, otherwise your reference will play through any FX you have on Main, which defeats the purpose.

[@vjhighlander]

8. CTRL+SHIFT+ MOUSE DRAG (on Windows)

[@justelectro]

yeahh iam a pro because i know my daw :D MyTip #11 Knowing what you are buying is the key.

[@zsoltnagy8442]

Also pros: - I don’t know what it does but sounds cool.

[@EDMTips]

Love it! 😆

[@dannymaher664]

Love you vids, I just wish you could do more none targeted content ie just for Ableton

[@EDMTips]

Thanks, Danny! Since I am using Ableton, it would be difficult for me to teach in other DAWs. What kind of less targeted content do you have in mind?

[@dannymaher664]

@@EDMTips I guess maybe you could share your your knowledge with production tips etc ( obviously keeping the Ableton focus ) but maybe incorporating more third party synths and plugins and so on, so that way you would achieve more viewers because more people could implement your tips, tricks across a multi platform environment using the principle that you use within Ableton?

[@davidpotsdam]

very hip

[@EDMTips]

Appreciate it! 🙌🙏

[@notfound2264]

why do you have your bass +2 and drums at 0

[@skaffjean]

Does Paris Hilton know about these tricks as well? 😮

[@EDMTips]

Would you mind telling her about these? 😁

[@skaffjean]

Would love to if she knows what is Ableton and what it is used for 😂

[@TonyFergusonStrong4Life]

CTRL, S or CMD, S. Remember this one :)

[@EDMTips]

Good one! Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@musiclover-r9m]

makeup gain on glue compressor does not impact distortion whatsoever

[@musiclover-r9m]

meant to add: I think you were looking to drive gain INTO the glue compressor in order to push the compressor harder.

[@espenkvelland118]

Great video man. Love your content. Please don’t jump on that stupid trend on having this insane faces on the front page 😂just my two cents

[@oblitafier]

I really don’t like this style of thumbnail

[@DarkTrapStudio]

Please be more concise
