Thank you so much! I have learned a lot!

[@ManjotSingh-yc1te]

I would have loved this video if you had normalize the voice , add equalizer and reduced the noise and had explained how to add echo to make voice better. Hopefully you can explain it in your next video.

[@xerxesgriffen3957]

this guy is the reason I still have motivation in making music and without him I would end up probably just being lost in Ableton's complicated systems

[@DJCouchKing]

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!

Baby steps! That's all I've been looking for! Everyone assumes the user knows the software and interface top to bottom, shortcuts, etc. that they end up doing things and effects and leaving the us, the students, lost and confused! You, my man, did the complete opposite and HELPED a lot! Thank you!!!

[@DJCouchKing]

That's exactly what I was going for! Thanks!

[@glennevans6649]

This was incredibly helpful to me. I was seriously struggling to make a simple track as a new user. You saved the day. This is a very thoughtful and well executed tutorial that even my 60 year old, analog tuned brain could follow. Your work is appreciated and ultimately made the difference for me. I was done. Thank you.

[@nikil07khatri]

After watching tons and tons and tons of videos🤣 (fo beginners) on setting up Ableton You sir You have actually made it so clear and short to get started wid recording on Ableton. U R UNIQUE. Thanks so so much .. god bless u😃

[@callakracker]

Your mannerisms for tutorials get me invested because you are so soft spoken and relaxed. No loud hyper wannabe internet personality being all like “YO WHADDUP ITS YA BOY -“ shit who spends the whole video going way too fast and way too energetic when talking which feels like it treats me as if I’m already an expert and it overwhelms me and distracts me from learning. What I love about you is that even though you have mastered Ableton, you are deliberately slow in your actions and presentation because you acknowledge your target audience and are super beginner friendly so you can give uneducated people a chance to follow along without issue. I look forward to watching more tutorials from you.

[@DJCouchKing]

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!

Wow thanks a mill. I truly appreciated this so much. I've had my equipment a few mo tha but just couldn't get my head around how it works. Now I was able to record yay. Now just to figure out why it doesn't want to edit the quiet sections when I backspace. I'm new to this don't know all the lingo yet. Loved the fade in and out trick.

[@joef4819]

Thanks for your video. I just got this Ableton software because it was included with my Focusrite Scarlett. The only thing I'll be using it for is to overdub a guitar to existing songs and send that track back to my friend. I cannot find any videos that explain how to do that. I drag and drop his song file into the project, I can hear my guitar live, but when I hit "record" nothing happens. I hear the track playing his song but my guitar disappears and does not record. None of the videos on youtube explain how to do this. I can do it with Audacity but I don't like the sounds they offer for guitar.

[@DJCouchKing]

Add a second track for the guitar. Make sure the input your guitar is plugged into on the scarlett is selected on that track in the I/O section. Record arm then press arrangement record

I have a question. How do i stop my second audio track from recording that which i recorded in my first audio track? I started playing a guitar riff, recorded it, and went on to record some bass in a second audio track, but both the metronome and the guitar was being recorded as i pressed record, within the second audio track (the bass track). How do i fix this?

[@DJCouchKing]

Check the input routing on the channel you're recording to. Should be set to the input your bass/guitar is plugged into.

[@desireeharanmccarthy5168]

I’m having a problem where when I playback my recording it sounds as if small segments are missing, almost as if it is skipping. Do you have any idea how i can stop this?

[@DJCouchKing]

Is the CPU meter hitting 100%? You might try downloading LatencyMon and seeing if that shows any problems with your PC. Check out my video on How to Set up Windows 10 for Ableton Live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emelpX6je7qbqdk

[@briannemckenzie9733]

Can you record both vocals and guitar at the same time? Thank you!

[@DJCouchKing]

Yes, just set up two audio tracks and assign each one a different input.

[@lamontpeoples]

Hello Alex, just brought a 18i20 for acoustic kit tracking. Do you have a tutorial on setting up the Focusrite Control software? Thx

[@DJCouchKing]

I don't have a tutorial for that specific software. I'm sure there's one floating about KZbin though. The only Focusrite interface I have is the 2i2 which doesn't use that software.

[@ReflejosdeManu]

I am considering to buy a sound card to record my guitar on Ableton, but I already have a good microphone. I am wondering what is exactly the function of the sound card in the recording process and how much the quality improves by using the sound card. Appreciate your help.

[@DJCouchKing]

The purpose of the sound card is to reduce latency, provide I/O and good preamps for recording.

[@polakobuenfly6902]

when i hit record i dont get the red thing and it doesnt seem to be recording my voice even tho i can see the mics working just fine on the right?

[@DJCouchKing]

Did you record arm the track?

Cool but my computer breaks when I select ASIO also when I click "delete" nothing happens, I cant edit my audio tracks

[@DJCouchKing]

Which interface are you using?

[@jakemotionless6210]

When I record , the sound won't play back to me?

[@DJCouchKing]

Check the audio preferences and make sure you have everything routed correctly. Also make sure none of the tracks are in solo.

[@Irvin_SP]

Say I’m Recording a guitar and mess up in one part. How do I go back to record that one part but make it blend seamlessly with the rest of the track?

[@DJCouchKing]

Use the punch in/out feature. It's right next to loop on/off.

I am very new to ableton and scarlett solo 4th. I want to do the voice over. When i render the recorded voice, i do not see any difference in my voice as much as i see recording in a phone. I am using rodepodmic by the way. I want to be heard like how are you heard, clear crisp and highlighted. Could you help me understand after recording and before rendering, what kind of post production work i must do to get a fabulous voice production.

[@DJCouchKing]

To be honest 90% of it is mic election and placement. Make sure the mic you own fits your voice. After that some bits of EQ, compression and limiting can help. But those things should be minimal, setting the mic levels and making sure your mic is placed properly is the most important part of getting good sound.

[@lifeisnow3944]

@@DJCouchKing thanks for responding. Okay I will work on placing my mic in a better way and also do we have EQ in the ableton.

Thanks for the tutorial, very well explained! I had a question. - If I have multiple input mics. while recording. a live performance, how do I click the record button such that recording from all the sources start at the same time?

You just need to arm all the tracks you want to record by holding control while clicking the record ATM button on multiple tracks.

[@DJCouchKing]

If you use the "cut/paste time" function in the edit menu yes it will move everything else. If you just use the regular copy/cut/paste it will overwrite the area you have selected.

Can the live session view in Ableton live be used to record electric drums with MIDI without being limited by a sequencer of how long you can record the electric drums?

[@DJCouchKing]

Yes you should be able to record a clip as long as you want. Or you could use the arrangement view.
