Ethan after watching about 300 videos on music production, I can definitely say that you are at the top 3 tutors, to make something simple for others to understand.

Hey Ethan this is very helpful in the exact spot where you are new to ableton and maybe know how to make a drum pattern but you dont know what to do next - im in this position right now and this exactly shows the progression. thank you!

I've discovered your channel only few days ago and I bet you must be very soon in the top recommended producers on KZbin. It's a true pleasure, your content is very relevant and dense, always inspiring and you do it in a very humble and genuine way. It also invited to discover your music universe. Many thanks.

3 videos later and you convinced me I can produce music, something I just thing of the other day. May sound naive, but that's how professional and intuitive you have been on your clips (except the music theory one but I'm just clueless)

Ethan I’m new to this whole space and your videos are incredibly helpful. I’m wondering if you’d ever want to post a video running through your favorite or most used plugins. Ableton does have plenty of good options but I just don’t know where to start when it comes to plug ins, especially for vocals

I’ve been bench watching most of your content for a few hours today, and find them to be very inspiring and encouraging. So thank you. I’m guilty of procrastinating for some time now, and just need to get my music out rather than get buried on my hard drive. Quick question: Do you have to convert midi to waveform after mixing them?

Great video man ,i just have some questions. Do you not put +6db on the master to allow headroom when mixing down? Do you not low cut on the reverb to prevent muddiness and does it matter the order of eq and reverb? Thank you for the video man

@rikgreen520 2 ай бұрын

Hi you mention to use drive or saturation to bring out more harmonics in the bass, so it helps it to be heard on smaller speakers.....does that also work on the kick...as I'm having a lot of trouble to get my kick to come through on my phone speaker...sometimes it just doesn't sound like it's there at all, while other times its just a clicky sound....🤯

@_atmospheric_ 5 ай бұрын

Dude, that's a freakin legit beat!! Could you make a tutorial, either on this channel or on producer pro, about gliding the bass line to different notes? I've always wanted to learn how to do that but I'm quite sure where to start Thanks man! Love the video!

@drewfasa 3 ай бұрын

Set synth to monophonic and adjust the knob for glide or portmento.

@Ethan Davis I don't understand how you make the B Bass go along with the kick. Your first kick starts at 1.1, your second at 2.2. Yet both bars for the B Bass start at x.1. If I do that then my second bass plays before the second kick. The only way I get it to work is by shifting the second bass to also start at 2.2 (which is something you clearly do not do)... So what am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

Do you mix your final version with your headphones mostly? What is the difference between Audeze and other headphones? I need to work with headphones for a while, it's a dilemma to pick a good one that will get me an accurate result, thank you!

I'm coming from FL Studio and this way of working is so different. It looks more like using Audacity just dragging waveforms to create your beat. The session view is also convusing. Have to watch a view more tutorials i guess. I hope I made the right choice switching to Ableton.

@soundsbyseb 2 ай бұрын

I’ve used maschine for 10 years. I’ve used FL a bit, but decided to get the trial of ableton. My first 1 hour of tutorials I was confused - now I’m not. You made the right choice switching, now make the right choice sticking it out!

if you used midi for the kick and clap wouldn't it still sound the same?

in theory yes! i just drag stuff in because that's what I prefer, but you can use midi too if you enjoy it more

@kriswatchesflicks 2 ай бұрын

Not sure how to describe it but your ableton looks completely different from mine. I’m missing the whole middle section where you actually place the sounds entirely. Not sure how else to describe it. Anyway you could explain what your settings are or something?

I thought this was a master class video 😢. It started out great but half-way through, you switch to finished projects. Why not finish the beat? I was following along and you left me hanging.
