The Secret To Making Progressive House Like The PROS (Ableton Live Masterclass)

[@KieranSnell]

As someone who is just starting to get into producing music, your videos Ethan have been super helpful. Appreciate the time you put into explaining everything in detail but also making it understandable for beginners like myself. Unreal👏🏻

[@CompleteProducer]

wow thank you!

[@iain_nz.]

its not simple hahah

[@oliviaw9453]

When you automated the dry/wet on reverb…😍😍 so good. Thanks for these videos they’re so helpful.

[@davidallyn1818]

OMG!! I never noticed the create fade on clip edges before!! I typically work in MIDI, but I was playing with some vocals recently noticed that annoying default behavior. I would then have to go in manually and correct it every time - ugh!! Smashed that "Off" button - thanks for the tip!!!

[@tristenvukelich5280]

I love how he had to lead with a disclaimer about what progressive house is to him 😂 people get so touchy about edm genres

[@CAMMEDIAPRO]

Holy shaaaatt when you adjusted the reverb and the beat came back in 🫠 woah! Such a good vibe man

[@thibaudherbert3144]

Ethan your tutorials are so good thanks a lot !!

[@obyybo]

Dude show us a song a to z not just some raisers....full song and the elements from a song...the formulas

[@BritishBoy]

I always pick up some little bit of advice from these videos no matter how long I've been producing! This time I decided to look into some more OLIVER samples for my drum sounds. i always thought they sounded slightly too disjointed and weak.

[@UYD4eva]

Hello everybody! Does someone know how to create this opening/closing effect of the filter every time a note is played in Ableton? (without Serum) @8:31 What would be some good resources to check out? (:

[@speedysrevenge2925]

Crazy he is doing this, simplifying ableton to a level everybody understands. Didnt put any effort in Learning on ableton after maybe a week studying it everyday without any good end product but after i saw youre videos you got me to a point in my life where i just come home and try something out doing some things i learned out of youre Videos!! Tysm and i also love youre music 🙏

[@prestonulibarri7955]

Are you with isla vista worship?! I love your songs if this is you I can’t tell… but if not I’m a Christian and love house music and making some right now

[@TKAM88]

By the way you can copy automation lines and just paste them below. Thanks for the Deadmau5 tutorial ;)

[@Jacky_Mao]

sup guys, i want to be a producer,makin some drake/yeat type beats,and i want to make it in a browser, so i find one is Amped Studio,is anyone heard bout this ? if someone can help me with this,apr u.

[@nashmichaeld]

Thanks man. Appreciate the “stock plugin” approach. We can’t all pay thousands a year for plugins. 👊

[@wtrsfn]

bro he used HELLA plugins fym 😂

[@nashmichaeld]

LOL. I may have dropped this on the wrong video of his (I’ve watched a few)

[@nashmichaeld]

I’m rewatching and literally laughing at all the plugins now. 😂

[@chantalbrodbeck128]

Hey! I can't see a compressor in my audio effects. Is this something you have to download separately?

[@julesester2480]

you are the best tutor on You tube!

[@goosbump]

Hi ! Your videos are pretty nice 😊 Can you make more videos like this for advanced people ?

[@ludwigarenas2537]

This is actually sick. Considering the vocals aren’t for the track this songs decent

[@calibrastian]

This is meat and potatoes for effective producing! Really good!!

[@Makarusmusic]

This gives such a deadmau vibes. Love it ❤

[@coachjoshuajones]

Prog House isn’t 128… just saying . Great tutorial though. Those cans are crazy big.

[@pablom463]

for those who can't afford serum but want something like it Surge XT is a great free alternative

[@mskouley1391]

pls tell me where u got that incredible lamp. anyone know? I would love it for my space!

[@Flightcoach]

am i allowed to swear here? GDAMN DUDE! THIS IS IT! thank you so much. just finished my ableton beginner course (offline with a teacher) and now working on getting my first song out. I am wondering though, why are you working in arrangement view the whole time? I was taught to make everything in session view first and then for the final steps go to arrangement view, so following your tutorial requires complete rewiring of my brain ;-) which i am going to do now, since i love the result you have there and learning new things...

[@CompleteProducer]

it's just personal preference. my brain works well thinking chronologically and it's a better workflow for songwriting IMO

[@InAudika]

Solid content. Very helpful! Thanks Ethan.

[@OfflineLion]

Oh I love these how to genre tutorials

[@jarrodsmith8260]

I'm a longtime casual musician, but new to recording and producing. You're a great teacher and the steps are easy to follow. I love when someone shows me, not just tells me how something works. I love that you give alternatives for those who don't own certain plugins too. Thank you for making this video!

[@CompleteProducer]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@rahuluppal865]

I need the full course link , i want to buy it , the link in bio is not working for me

[@yomamafatasf]

we need a tutorial on how to produce music like max martin 😭😭

[@dimondld5432]

Bruh upgrade your ableton 11 to 12 … ableton has aj tool amd many features brother plz teach us trick of new features of ableton 12 .. Thanks 🤩

[@peptok]

Ableton 12 isn't out yet. it's in beta only

[@loontil]

Unfortunately the little pic of yr head - bottom left, was covering up the compressor so we couldn't see by how many dB the bass was being cut by the kick

[@CompleteProducer]

awe sorry about that! i would say to just adjust the threshold to taste! the biggest thing is that you aren't hearing audible clipping or distortion

[@stephaam_music]

So nice! thanks Ethan! Maybe you can do the same with a Deep Groovy house, something like HotSince82. Thanks

[@AFTASTY]

Thank you. Your videos really do help. There are so many good tips and tricks!! Can I send you my song when I am done?

[@CompleteProducer]

thank you! you can! i can't guarantee i'll have time to listen thought :P

[@ambientsounds1416]

Progressive house in my mind, trance slowed down to 125bp EM

[@CompleteProducer]

ya it kind of is, huh?

[@ApeStep]

Awesome guide thank you so much

[@lil0mike0gkb]

Nah you have to drop that as a remix or something.

[@ryandonowho1930]

I know you love hot keys, so thought I mention to people you can bring up automation mode just by pressing A 👍🏼

[@CompleteProducer]

yes! i would use this one a lot if i didn't use my computer keyboard as a midi keyboard. the automation hotkey doesn't work if the midi keyboard/computer keyboard is enabled :(

[@dennismikha7541]

DropBox so that you dont loose anything? It is not a backup solution! Google Drive users already lost their data recently.

[@CompleteProducer]

it's also saved on the hard drive! I think also having a time machine backup, or a comprehensive backup of your entire computer that you update regularly would also be good to have. I have moved to using a NAS for big backup stuff and it seems to be reliable so far.

[@ILoveHorror928]

Oh, that reminds me Overwerk so hard🔥

[@trackmasters65]

I have Ableton 11 Suite and Logic, but I followed along in Reason because it's my favorite DAW 😂. Just wanted to say this was such a satisfying tutorial to follow because of your good energy and the Music was enjoyable to listen to. It's super simple but still a dope track. You gave us the necessary buiding blocks to create our own variations and/or repurpose what you're doing here for a new track. Thanks a lot for this!

[@jeffreyEsoteric]

Pro-Tip: Set the playback speed to 50%... ;-) He says he created the song in 52 minutes, I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty sure I could replicate this in 52 weeks or less. This man is literally a MONSTER in Ableton, and probably any other DAW that he would decide to use. Thanks Ethan!

[@vishalpahwa77]

[@Rogue4renhiw]

Man, the last part of your video just crushed my chest like a lance. Great job! Definetly checkin your content and you got a new subscriber. Cheers!!

[@vinnyveritas9599]

Nice sounds. But what's really difficult for me is to make music that sounds unique. What you showed is nice and polished but it sounds generic. Actually you even called that song a product, to me that doesn't evoke art.

[@Anthony-pz7tl]

Hey Ethan! I just came back from a mammoth 3 day festival in Saudi called MDL Beast SoundStorm and I got to see all my fave teenage and uni years artists (DeadMau5, Axwell, Tiesto AVB) and some new ones like Black Coffee. I came home and dusted off my LPP Mk3 and MiniLab3 which have sat idly for almost 4 years and realised that after listening to my fave acts live is that I never mastered the true basics of music production - DRUM PATTERNS ! Could you please do a video covering the foundational drum patterns according to genres and their respective BPMs? It hit me that I’ll never master the basics of the midi controllers and DAW if I can’t just lay down a simple house drum pattern- no amount of my Splice or my plugins can correct or fill in for that so look forward to a video on this!

[@CompleteProducer]

That a great idea for a video! I'm either going to do a video like that for the channel, or for my new EDM course coming out early next year!

[@Anthony-pz7tl]

@@CompleteProducer Thank you! Ive heard things like "Four On The Floor" and "hats on the upbeat" vs "kicks on the downbeat" but it doesnt translate well when using a step sequencer which makes me think that i need to go right back to basics and nail the patterns on the DAW with a mouse first! Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

[@ck3plays]

Ethan thank you for the content. It’s helping me learn a lot just in the first couple weeks. Couple questions. • Are your tutorials suited for all three versions of Ableton? I only got the Intro for now just to dip my toes and was wondering if anything you’re teaching will be over my head because I don’t have certain features. • What are or how do you inspire yourself for creating melodies for a song? Thanks in advance. Any tips would help. Happy Holidays and a banger start to 2024. Subbed! 🤙

[@vjmcgovern]

I have a question. Is the “practically clipping” setting in Pro-L actually clipping? If not, whats it doing?

[@di.vize_]

[@N5Gabe]

As a fan of progressive rock and metal music, I would looooooove if progressive electronic music also had odd time signatures and time signature changes within a song. Are there any producers out there who incorporate that in their electronic music? :)

[@CompleteProducer]

most EDM is based on bars and loops and because of that odd time signatures really mess you up when you're djing. i think almost no one ventures out of 4/4 because they want DJs to play their music haha
