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

Baby steps! That's all I've been looking for!

[@RobotYoshimis]

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]

I second this :)

[@DJCouchKing]

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

[@nylafl1]

Very new at this but I did learn a few things. However I’m more interested at this point to be able to save a track so I could send it and do other things with it.

[@DJCouchKing]

Go to File > Collect All and Save. That will gather all the project audio files so you can send the folder to someone or move it to another computer.

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

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.

[@TheStreetest]

great little insight . but now i want to put my samples in a drum set. how do i do that ? lol

[@DJCouchKing]

Create a new MIDI track, add the "Drum Rack" instrument and drag and drop your samples into the Drum Rack cells.

[@nancyturco2336]

If I copy a section of a recording and insert it in a song, will the rest of the music move forward, and not be copied over by the insert? I have a D1200mk2. Thank you. I think I need your software!🙄

[@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.

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.

[@tiktakker1239]

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.

[@gabrielcuellar-nh9sb]

Hi. This is my first session sith Ableton. I connected my keyboard to the usb in the PC. I now Midi is entering, and I can also record audio outside of Ableton. I followed your instructions, and apparently there is audio coming from the keyboard. The recorded track shows the wave form. But I cannot hear anything. And yet, in the initial demo I could hear everything with my speakers.

[@VAEOMMusic]

How do I add pre fx when I don't wan t the effects to print in audio? I just want the effects while monitoring

[@DJCouchKing]

If it's EQ/dynamics add them as inserts. If it Reverb/Delay use send/return tracks.

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

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

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.

[@TheHairTrainer]

I got all the way to recording my voice and when I record it shows a lilac highlight showing something recorded but then I don't get the voice scribbles, not sure how to explain that, haha.

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

[@viociarnau1670]

Hey, how can l have this set up:- let’s say channel 1 to go studio phones out, and channel 2 to go to studio monitors (L&R), another words separate outs for the 2 channels, to be able to hear in the phones or in the monitors only what l want...!?! Thank you.

[@DJCouchKing]

Use the Cue output on the master track

[@viociarnau1670]

Can see it...- no results so far...- sorry... l’m very new to Ableton Lite... (not Live)

[@viociarnau1670]

Could you make a short video for the Lite version for this particular set-up, different outs for different channels (Focusrite 3rd gen, 2ins, 2Outs)- and then send me the link of the new video? Maybe than l’ll be able to find out what and what...- So far no success ...- Thank you

[@DJCouchKing]

If you have the 2i2 the headphone out shares the same out channels (1/2) as the L/R out on the back. You'd need an interface that has a separate output channel for the headphones.

[@danzai]

On windows, my audiomixer (behringer|) doesn't show under ASIO, it only shows under the MME/DirectX driver..

[@DJCouchKing]

You'll need to download the ASIO driver for your audio interface, or ASIO4ALL if you don't have an interface. I would highly recommend getting an interface if you don't have one.

very good vid. thx. Is there any easy way to remove noises like in Audacity where you can select (noise reduction) ?

Ableton doesn't have built-in destructive operations like normalize, or noise reduction etc. In the file/folder preferences you can set an external audio editor such as audacity to open and edit clips. Otherwise there are plugins like RX denoise that can do that

Check to make sure that the channel is set to External input. If you have a condenser mic make sure the phantom power/48v button it on and the gain level is up.

Hi there! I have all the settings set up like you said, but I keep getting this weird shallow background noise through my microphone. In either 'IN' 'AUTO' or 'OFF' the issue keeps being the same. I just would like to hear my voice clear through the mic. Any help? Thank you!
