This is just one of many things. There's no one secret to making amazing music. You can have a clean track no pops or crackles but if its boring and generic then you won't get anywhere. I think a lot of producers get stuck in trying to make their songs tidy and clean and overengineer a track yet forget about actually songwriting. This is no shade to you, just something I've been observing a lot on youtube tutorials.

I think really the whole thing with getting rid of the pops and crackles is actually only a tiny bit of the video. He more emphasized bouncing to audio since it forces you into a different mindset that's creatively(since you can get crazy stuff with audio). This is especially the case if you render a synth with a bunch of changing modulations- you can chop it up and arrange it in a way you can't do with midi(or put in a granular sampler). Lastly, it forces you to commit and is a way to get you to keep progressing in the writing of the track. Also its easier to visually understand layers of audio versus layers of midi(when you a lot of tracks).

Using the Rolling Sampler in this type of workflow is really amazing. Its basically a live recording program that keeps the last so many seconds/minutes of audio(using ram so it deletes audio from beyond the set time rather than storing on your hard drive). You can select a portion of the audio and drag into your project as an audio file for use. Amazing for saving time recording loops and one shots. Another advice for this workflow: make racks where you have a synth(with processing) and use a random modulator to control certain parameters on your synth. Draw a super long midi note and hit record and you have a bunch of phrases with your synth that you don't have to automate yourself(amazing for reeses and basses).

I learned how to produce breaks, house and drum and bass in the early 2000's mostly using Pro Tools. Eventually I moved to Ableton, but, I really liked working with and the raw audio samples. Over the years I just liked to render each track to audio (most of the time and use that. This does however make it hard to go back to a track and make changes (sometimes and I'm sure there are better ways to avoid that nowadays) but I remember watching a skrillex video one day and seeing that he liked to have spacing between the sounds and mostly used rendered audio instead of midi. It was then I realized how much this can help and since then, probably for the past few years I have almost always finalized a track with waveform audio only, but I try to keep a version of the Ableton project that has the synths and Midi that I created that track with. It's really a great technique but can be time consuming
@NikoBased

This is 100% accurate. If you're making "bass music", do everything in audio. I'm not going to argue with anybody about this, because it's been the case forever. However, this is just a bass music thing. Suddenly working in audio isn't going to spice up your trance productions.

going to audio and doing a final mix in audio is the way. especially if you use lots of lfos, do ambient, or slower music. i had so much randomness every time i render its quite different. even had to reduce the randomness a bit. it has made it much easier to mix. my mid and uptempo tracks i havent tried recently, but i am hyped to do it. i feel they will benefit. there is more clarity and preciseness. also one ends up looking at the material much differently. although sometimes i end up rearranging or remixing things, which could be a bad or good depending *shrug Rolling sampler is frkng awesome! game changer

Yes, there's an argument for latter stage production and mixing to be done with audio stems; but many short-sighted music makers will see this as vindication for them never reaching beyond sample packs and pre-sets. "No more midi clips" is an over-simplified mantra that will mislead many.

Good stuff! I use versioning... I have a version with all my midi & audio stuff and then when I start doing a mix down, I freeze and flatten everything and save it again. For mastering - I like using just 1 total wav file combined. Pretty much every song folder has several versions, that I can go back to and resave bits or parts as needed, as you can simply pull in a track and redo a freeze and flatten in the new version. Keeping things in the same folder makes it easy peasy from the file menu.

My only gripe with bouncing everything to audio is the space it would take up on my laptop. Ideally, i'd have a more powerful setup to handle that sort of thing. I work in Ableton now but I was using FL Studio for a good 10 years prior. Oddly enough, i prefer using MIDI for drums (in drum rack) and bass/synth sounds, rather than audio. Whereas in FL, I would exclusively drag & drop drum samples onto the playlist. Different workflow I suppose. I do enjoy sampling and resampling in ableton as i find it's best for audio manipulation Edit: I should also note using mostly audio depends on the genre for me. When I make Jersey Club music, a good 80 to 90 percent of my project contains audio. If I'm writing an electro house track, it's a 60/40 split of MIDI and audio

Great video man! But there are quicker ways to record clips into audio in Ableton. First is a M4L device called Audio Treasure - you place it on the mater channel and it automatically records the last 2 minutes of your session. The second is BiP - put it on your master, set a keyboard shortcut and use it to record any clip into audio 🤷‍♂

Hi, love the video! Cool idea with this mRecorder thingy, but if you wat to make the process even more smooth and workflow firendly, then you should try BiP for Max 4 live. All you need to do is to place it on your master, map recording button to any key you like and make that your default template, so every new project opens with it already on. From now on in order to bounce something to audio all you have to do is to select track by highlighting it and press designated key. This little fella saved me so much time you wouldn't belive, highly recommended :)

rendering early helps me avoid a fussy workflow, but i tend to edit that way in the mixdown final arrangement stage - which i try to do quickly. Also if you have music that is significantly wonky, alot of those audio arrangement techniques take too long - time you can spend writing new stuff. If i intend to write a spliced track, i normally keep everything straight and apply groove after (reaper stretch marks). Editing this way can be a bit dicey if you want to sound fresh imho.

@ZenWorld has video how when you are done with midi you should commit to waveforms and in my amateurish experience it works. I don't know why but it switches something in my brain. Also there are things you cannot do with midi (like reversing) and it show you tails you might not be aware of (as shown in the video). Another great thing is when you move to mastering stage, export everything as stems and do mastering as a new project only with audio files. So yeah. Nice video to be reminded of that. Thanks.

You’re at least 5th person mentioning this and just like I answered before. Sure thing you can do that but sometimes happy accidents come as you sound design or play with effects (just like I’ve mentioned in the video). That’s where recording in the background becomes useful

Why not simply use noise gate to cut unwanted tails on midi tracks ?

Because rendering to audio is way more convenient plus you can use warp and have complete control over audio

Agreed. Removing tails and pops is only the small part of all the benefits of working with audio. But don’t get me wrong, as I said in the video - I’ll still use MIDI for flexibility

Why recording with a third party plugin instead of resampling directly ?
@Zdrewe
@Zdrewe 2 ай бұрын
I briefly explained it but the whole point is that with something like Mrecorder (especially retrospective mode) you can just have it in the background, switch tracks, delete and experiment. There’s nothing wrong with direct resampling and I use it all the time but with third party solution you can catch some happy accidents. Plus it’s free so you loose nothing
@jaredbobier2844
@jaredbobier2844 2 ай бұрын
You don’t have to stop what you are doing and resample using the Mrecorder if im understanding the video correctly. Sometimes those few moments can cost you creative energy so I can understand why it’s worth it!

Funny how many people in this comment section have their own opinions on right and wrong ways to produce music like it’s their own personal gospel. Do whatever works for you. Take any suggestion with a grain of salt. But if you do get personally offended but videos like these, you likely don’t know as much as you think you do.

This kind of music doesn't make me trip, it sounds like drill noises and it's horrible to hear. You can cut, copy, paste, reduce, compress, it's still crap. Skrillex is construction noise, not music. We're not going to talk for hours about his lousy style. Sorry if I offended some of them, it's not their fault that they have no ears ;-). On the other hand, thank you for your tutorial, working on the stems and removing residual noise seems like a good thing to me.

It touches on the old ongoing issues with different or new types of music. Same was with rock, jazz and basically any other genre. But no harsh feelings, I get it. Bass music or any of harder EDM subgenre isn’t for everyone. You’re lucky that I’m not making uptempo or raw here 😂😂
