Its always nice to learn something new! Thank you guys for that one small trick for making the rumble "groovier". I never thought i could use a kick sample hi-passed like that to create more groove, I was always thinking the trick is using the delay on top of that. Much love

I'm a long time reason user but have always admired LIVE.

[@nextplanetgaming8749]

Reason is a great starting point. I used it for a long time and I even worked with some top artists who continue to use Reason to release professional tracks. Since reason incorporated VST support it's a totally viable DAW. I haven't used it in a long time but my only gripe would be the mix engine, as it used to not hold up compared to other DAW's. Maybe that's been improved but I'm not sure. If you do decide to take the plunge into Live, the transition should be largely painless. Live is definitely far more advanced but the essentials are mostly the same as Reason. I remember building long intricate racks in Reason and I missed that when I started using Live, but now Live also has that capability. Definitely give Live a shot. :D I use Studio One mostly these days. Still have Live installed but I like the workflow of Studio One, however, there are still some things in Live that are much more conducive to writing EDM.

[@DigitalJMusic]

Ableton is nice for sure but at the start you won't be satisfied or maybe you will. anyway my point is that you need to take advantage of the effect racks and build crazy things but also simplistic tools to make your workflow easier and faster. but can say if you are on it u can build a freaking track in no time. Resampling function is gold!

[@error0ne]

wow the guy in front speaks so fast, he would be a good rap mc

[@djkaya9558]

haha right or better not talking

[@Alverax]

Hi Paul big fan of u and ur work i want to ask u at what levels you set the kick and bass? should it peak at -10 DB?(kick) and mix the rest around the kick?

[@nickfranz5704]

any way i can have access to the tutorial online? I noticed it is not included in the online version

[@zenluiz]

Nice ideas!

[@marceloabondanza3006]

tnks for this!!!

[@DelasVC]

what's up guys does anybody know where to get a pack of those kick transients?

[@botramduuze7188]

Does Ableton Live always do that KKGGRR thing when you stop playing the channel?

[@FatalFriction]

I was going 2 resub to cm mag this but in Ireland I can't get part 2 of this video, bit of a shame

[@ComputerMusicMag]

The link to watch part 2 can be found in the magazine (both print and digital editions), no matter where you are in the world :)

[@jsadecki1]

they should be doing live racks downloads from people that producers in the videos have made

[@lightspeedentertainment3466]

so where is part 2?

[@lk0707]

Nice tips. They are good "couple".

[@FatalFriction]

oh I get it u have the link but no video

[@thirdworldmadness9204]

REspect :)

[@tentaclehead3140]

Lay off the morning coffee my man hahah good vid

[@theokoustas]

25:55 now you can! Right click on the pan on any track and select “split stereo panning” xD

[@lvilladj]

[@ComputerMusicMag]

Link is in the description.

[@Mastertechnomusic]

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@mihailparovoz7855]

Супер 👍👍 музыка

[@ElDaumo]

you can clearly tell who is the producer and who is the dj in this duo

[@sarasvatofficial8681]

No man! Left guy making drum sounds and right guy everything other. I think.

[@kavokei1337]

Paul Maddox (left) is a well-established mix engineer, Rich Wakley (right) knows his way round a studio just fine - both lads are talented producers and DJs in their own rights. Just a good crossover of ideas and strengths to play to.

[@fitality]

can anyone explain how to get the filter midi mapped to the velocity that he's done with the percussion stabs

[@paulmaddox]

In Simpler, just turn up the parameter labelled "VEL" below the filter, then play with the main cutoff to find the sweet spot (Y)

[@fitality]

Paul Maddox thanks Paul

[@joshsmith7812]

What studio monitors are they using?

[@RecluseRR]

Dynaudio LYD8 and BM6A.

[@DJSolonMag]

nice tricks

[@Dettol68]

Is that banging kick drum part of Spectre pack?

[@BastianHeilmusic]

Its in every Drum Synth, you just have to create it!

[@cruxtek]

@@BastianHeilmusic many thanks

[@domagojglavacevic9963]

And where can we possibly find Kick transients rack ?

[@piter00711]

I bet they build it themselves

[@nextplanetgaming8749]

The sample packs of transients exist for sale in various places. Buy one, and load them into a sampler across your keys. Voila. You can do this with all of your drum instruments which makes life easier when auditioning samples.

[@DelasVC]

@NextPlanetGaming can you give an example? can't find any

[@cruxtek]

LA PURA VERGA estos tios son mis maestros

[@joshsmith7812]

Damn that one guy can talk fast af😂 great masterclass though.

[@atipuginhere]

Oh, Filthy Rich here

[@error0ne]

is it so hard to play the song on the beginning so that we know what is that masterclass about ? stupid....

[@edrevvvv]

The song in the beginning is the song of the masterclass always xD i don't know who is the stupid..

[@error0ne]

i was asking if its possible to play the song they break down in that episode at beginning, so people know what this exact class is about...you get it ?

[@FunctionCmusic]

The song is playing for the first 10 seconds of the video, that is what they are breaking down. You get it?

[@error0ne]

wow 10 seconds...

[@FunctionCmusic]

It really isn't that hard to search Spektre 'Middle Of Everywhere' if it isn't enough for you.

[@piter00711]

guys how can I pay for such a shitty sound qualitty, fix it next time, then me and probably more people going to be interested to buy digital version.

[@DawnHub666]

[@notmansiller2807]

Bitwig is better

[@michaelmillar1]
