Lane 8 - Undercover: Ableton Live Track Masterclass

[@dannypqliar8763]

One important reason this video is very helpful - and the video series in general. When you're a noob, everyone on forums has a set idea (or a too vague idea) of the relative levels of kick and bass. When you listen to an artist speak freely, you begin to really enjoy the freedom of production that forum chats may deny because of the compactness of how people discuss a subject. For example, for ages I thought that the sub layer of my bass had to be MAXIMUM 3dB quieter than the sub part of the kick (or even louder). But that is completely untrue if you think of it as some rule for hard-hitting or dramatic techno. It took me 2 years of experimenting before suddenly realizing what Daniel did with the bass being -18dB. And it brought me to a wonderful place where the sub bass still adds huge heft after I've turned it down and turned up the growly mid bass part. I only wish I had seen this 2 years ago...

lane 8 is a complete genius!!! So amazing to see how simple yet detailed his productions are.

[@eduardolopez1082]

Crazy how much music production has evolved over the years.

[@blaiseboy123]

this guy is the best interviewer ever. asks the perfect questions and doesn't talk too much, who is this guy?

[@jesperjohansson370]

Please do more "In the studio" with Lane 8, fantastic music and awesome dude

[@whizzohk]

Guys this is brilliant - more please! Quite often when you're listening to a track you're not thinking that Ableton Live is at the heart of it, and yet there it is, good old arrangement view, and as always there are plenty of tricks to be learnt.

[@DrxAwkward]

thank you so much for posting this, big fan of your channel and Lane 8! Please do more masterclasses with Anjunadeep artists, that'd be pretty rad. much love from the states! -Doc

[@RockstahRolln]

@@ankverm8376 how do you know this??

[@BerkB]

Being a father in the past 5 years has benefited Lane 8 and now looks better.

[@carolinamercado172]

the recordings of trains etc its a reallyyyy cool thing. Daniel you're a genius

[@Gizmotechno]

Point Blank, thanks a lot for this! It's very re-assuring to see how many of my own thought processes during production are very similar to those of well established producers out there. It let's me know I'm on the right track. :)

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Gizmotechno Glad to hear it!

[@bharathj63]

Gizmotechno this is exactly how I feel! cheers mate!

[@brianstroup]

Love this video, thanks for that. See, you don't need a hundred expensive plugins to make good music. Thanks to Lane 8 for the tips.

[@jamierobb6354]

Keeping it simple... Harder done than said. Hah.

[@bobbylimesmusic]

[@youaintasbadasyouthink]

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Scott J Hall Poor Declan :-(

[@thunderclap113]

+Point Blank Music School liked just for the outro

[@jasonm2279]

+1 on the emotional outro.

[@kirkadkins1839]

I love this song. So glad I found this video

[@alexbuccheri5635]

Really wish he'd gone into some of the synth leads he uses for Diamonds and The One.

[@jasongravely7217]

Alex Buccheri if you discover which bass synth is used on “The One” plz let me know. One of my favs ever 👌

[@Ska83gbr]

@@jasongravely7217 Ever find out?! As a keen Lane 8 fan and relative noob producer, all I know is he used Diva a lot for his bass back then...!

[@gothfrog69]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to go over and explain every detail of the track Lane 8, very helpful.

[@nickyjanse6531]

[@brendandevine515]

thanks for the video. great tips

[@WorldElectronica]

lmao at that outro

[@Ds7nike]

So did he did the whole mix and master within the project he produced in? I.e he didn’t stem it out? I’m hoping this is the case cos it would make me feel a lot better about my workflow, lemme know if you know 🙏🏾

[@omniinvestments7128]

YOTTO's remix made this a MASTERPIECE :)

[@abhishekbhalla07]

For those who didn't thumb down this music - you have excellent taste IN MUSIC! :)

[@irishkicks92]

[@lysergicaciddiethylamide759]

[@killacamfoo]

Please breakdown Disclosure's Omen with Sam Smith!!!!!!

[@princepagan]

...steals the kick he stole

[@xradical89x]

didn't know Ted Mosby made electronic music

[@martinparidon9056]

Can we start a donation campagin to buy Lane 8 a new laptop? :D

[@DhirajKyawal]

omg he's face and personality both exactly matches to Josh Radnor's (Ted from How I Met Your Mother)

[@goldenboi24k]

I wanna know why he isnt using a Mac....

[@JasonEfstathiou]

***** Why would he?

[@JasonEfstathiou]

***** eh, that's pretty subjective. Windows has lots of advantages, so does OS X.

[@JasonEfstathiou]

***** true. I also didn't expect Lane 8 to use an old Windows laptop with the classic skin, haha. But if it works, then why not!

[@iamgolum72]

+Jason Efstathiou using classic skin improves system performance :)

[@JasonEfstathiou]

iamgolum I know, but I would've expected Lane 8 to use a system that wouldn't need to be set to classic.

[@irishkicks92]

I didn't know Ted Mosby was an artist, I thought he was an architect

[@afaromusic]

Dat CPU percentage tho

[@snowshoe8042]

This right guy laugh even though the left guy isn't funny.
