How To Remix Any Song In Ableton (Step by Step Masterclass)

Here's part of the course for free: www.completeproducerpro.com/r...
I have 2 goals with this video. The first is obviously to give you the exact steps you need to make an awesome sounding remix in Ableton. The second is to hopefully inspire you to actually make that remix. You have it in you if you’re willing to take action.
Sorry for my hiatus btw…I was making a new course on EDM called EDM Producer Pro which is now part of Complete Producer Pro (my big main course on how to make music).
I was also building out a new studio to make better videos and music in!
But I’m back now babyyyyy and I’ll be trying to upload weekly so stay tuned and sub if you wanna keep up with the new tutorials.
Comment any questions or feedback, I try to read all the comments and respond when I can!
Thanks so much for watching, truly.
Cheers
Ethan

I just started with ableton (and production in general) less than a month ago. I’m also entering a remix contest because why not. I just wanted you to know this video is SO HELPFUL! There was a lot I was doing the extra hard way, and a lot I couldn’t even figure out yet on my own. Fantastic resource and I’ll be returning (probably several times) to break this video down and make notes. Seriously, thank you!!!

[@CompleteProducer]

wow you're killing it, keep it up!! and ya happy to help (:

[@DarrenLipper]

It’s so refreshing and rare to find a mixture of real-world experience, practical advice, motivation, and kindness. I really appreciate the effort you put into this! It’s inspired me more than you know.

Hi Ethan!! Love your vids. You explain straightforward. It's easy to understand your great videos.

[@pavi.211]

[@jewelthompson4210]

I was today years old when I discovered your other music, Mr. Popular. Lol, everything you make is ear candy! Another amazing tutorial, thank you, Ethan!!!

[@trsd8640]

[@lesleyhermsen]

[@brtlee1922]

love this type of video, really gives greenhands like me some useful tips and the whole pipeline of making a song. pls make more vids like this in the future!!!

[@CompleteProducer]

love to hear that, more on the way!

[@Crossfit627]

This is by far your best video yet. Loved everything about it. the way you showed everything you were doing. the way you stayed native in Ableton so I don't get lost when you switch to a 3rd party plug in and I don't know what it means. Also love that you are putting together an edm course. great job Ethan. can't wait to see what you make after this.

[@CompleteProducer]

thanks so much! glad to know my intentions are working

[@lostsenseprodd]

[@marcelosilesgarita1370]

Hey Ethan! You're doing a great job with your emotive and motivational teaching skillset. I'm feel more and more comfortable with learning all of this as I started just a month ago. Keep it up!

[@CompleteProducer]

Awesome stuff! I don’t use ableton anymore but all of this is transferable. Great video

[@sigridvg994]

i really love that in your tutorial videos, you try to use the stock sounds from ableton. I love that because as a beginner producer i only have stock sounds.💪💪🙏🙏

[@tradesdontlie]

[@user-hq3nd2ch1d]

I learned a lot from you,so thanx

[@jonahweisz3241]

Thanks for the vids @Ethan! Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the limiter in this (and why did you go for independence)?

[@GeneralCba]

I have wanted to get into this for easily 12 years. This video only 2mins in, is that final push I needed. Looks like Ableton is the one for me and I will see how I get on with this video lol

[@CompleteProducer]

you got this!

[@officialnxtgnrtion]

Yessss New video, thank you for keeping it going! My morning routine is 1 video from you and apply it to my own creative process!

[@CompleteProducer]

love that! keep it up!

[@SukithaWanisekara]

Great video. How did you get the music audio clips from?

[@kaileratoold]

thanks

[@carlosdomingues2723]

ILY so much

[@iamdjlotta]

Thank you! Such a great video. Have you ever used Invisible Limiter on the master? If so, whats your opinion on that VS Pro L?

[@CompleteProducer]

i havent! sounds like an intriguing plugin to me. I prefer Pro L2 out of habit and experience so I'd recommend it as my first choice

[@mustachesupremacist9224]

My youngest loves your john blaya track Confident. We have a lot of fun with that one.

[@prodbyat7056]

Men love your videos! I would love to see a video where you make funky house. I am trying to make a song like Menesix - Love in Rio but i find it so hard to make like these funky piano chords en other elements in te song. Could you make a video about something like that? Thanks for all te help! ❤️

[@scottyelstromm881]

You are very good teaching. My issue is making music that all sounds alike. Remember the people who made real hit records that everyone knows, that permeated culture and has stood for generations could walk into a studio or onto a stage and actually perform it.

[@luixx60ti]

new video nice

[@augustusmenon3025]

hey man you are an absolute producer. can u make a whole course for mixing producing etc in abelton ??

[@CompleteProducer]

i did! check the link in the description

[@alperchino8233]

great tutorials mate ! a question, if i want to rmx a pop song into 174bpm drum n bass, do i need to timestretch vocals or does the warp thing this ?

[@CompleteProducer]

warp will do that!

[@overtonesnteatime198]

Candyland forever

[@peterzaaaum1712]

You're awesome holy shit.

[@5thYearOfficial]

when will edm producer pro be released and can we purchase that separate from complete producer pro. Really just looking to learn to make edm music similar to that of audien, Twinsick, discolines, John summit!!!

[@ancestelar]

nice

[@Radiant_Fvr]

I would love if you did something emotional like shiver by John summit🙏

[@revcofe]

Do you intentionally avoid using the looping function for your midi sections? If so, how come? I find it so much smoother and tidier than copy+pasting notes, and really helpful if i want to tweak a progression or groove.

[@CompleteProducer]

i think i do it the way i do out of habit and because i started by knowing some piano first and tried to translate that into a DAW. but use whatever method helps you work faster and stay inspired!

[@sophiaranae]

I like your new space ! It sounds like toy say badder vidoes for you guys**

[@CompleteProducer]

hahahah yikes. glad you like the new space though!

[@ryansmiley2492]

Would it be weird if I ask for a tutorial on your file management? How to get my folders to auto back up to my Dropbox from my external hard drive

[@edward-soli]

Can you explain instruments arrangement ?

[@Radishboy]

Just found your channel and im so impressed. I would love to be able to get in contact with you somehow

[@James-Stark]

Who would you recommend for courses on producing country/ rock records?

[@CompleteProducer]

honestly, i don't know, that's a great question! my course is designed for any genre, but I'm sure there are people who specialize in country/rock

[@ONMYWAY81]

This channel is amazing. Love your content. I am a teacher at a school in NYC teaching music production and I was wondering if I could get the acapella to this for my music production crouse on a unit in teaching how to make remixes. This will be strictly a use of educational purposes. Thank you in advance for your your response. _Orrin

[@jmiles.]

why does it seem when I do ur step by step and others aswell some samples dont match the tempo..I get sooo frustrated trying to remix songs and end up stopping.. I have tried shorting samples aswell but same.. ill add simple kicks to see if matches up and will always sound sooo off

[@halfpint90]

One thousand Five Hundred and Twenty First!

[@blesonbagh285]

how to get that accapella ?

[@SheikhSoundz]

How the heck do you get your sounds to sound more full?

[@CompleteProducer]

sub bass is a good start! i cover that in the video. also sound selection when you're picking your mids. i also cover that in the video.

[@ByDjaroffa]

what is that programme name that u use?

[@CompleteProducer]

Ableton!

[@michaelfrietsch8246]

anyone trying to get solid vocals from any track. UVR will extract you real clean stuff

[@CompleteProducer]

thanks for the rec. i usually use LALAL.AI

[@michaelfrietsch8246]

@@CompleteProducer also i recommend downloading the UVR-MDX-NET Inst HQ 3 model. if you open up the options, you can download new models. that one works the best for extracting basically studio quality acapellas. let me know what you think

[@user-qe2mv8xu3e]

hi ethan, do you have online courses

[@CompleteProducer]

i do! just one big called Complete Producer Pro and a smaller one called EDM Producer Pro that comes with the big one. just go to the link in the vid description and either watch the webinar or go to page after to see a BUNCH of details on it!

[@luixx60ti]

ethan one question how can i make midi bass sound more real ?

[@pheromusic]

if you want to use a third party plugin I heard about a new one called „Human“ it literally humanizes the way the chords/melodies are played but I haven‘t tried it myself yet

[@TheOldOnes-MusicLabel]

Use velocity, automations and upbeat notes!

[@CompleteProducer]

the other comments have good advice! if you're trying to get it to sound like someone actually played it there's a plugin called Trillian that's in Kontakt and Charlie Puth used for his song Attention that sound pretty darn real. I have a bass, and I can play it, so I haven't dived super deep into plugin alternatives. In my next video I program a bass, and then I also play the same part and record it, and that may give you some ideas/options so stay tuned!

[@luixx60ti]

@@CompleteProducer thank you and now that you mention charlie puth can you make a video how to make a song like him i really like his style but i cant make a song like him

[@erndog64]

Plug-ins might be enough to get an incredible sound.

[@MadMusic1723]

Link of the remix on Spotify???

i just made it for fun for the video, it's not out!

[@destute2490]

Please Make popular songs Breakdown Videos that will be helpful and will also help you gain more views

[@CompleteProducer]

i used to do that, but they made me exhausted. the videos I'm making now I really enjoy making and I see the channel having more longevity this way

[@willemander]

am i crazy or, after you moved that section of bass down an octave, it totally messed with the sound? lots of clashing? could totally be my headphones (i love this and all your vids by the way!! no hate at all, just confused)

[@CompleteProducer]

It sounds good on my heaphones hahahah not sure!

[@willemander]

yep - switch from airpods/mac speakers to seinheiser, and sounds great! wild how much that can change! (if you try it with mac/iphone/airpods, curious if you hear what i heard! unsure what causes that - i suppose the bass is just too low in some parts and lesser speakers overcompensate?)@@CompleteProducer
