I've been using Ableton for years without knowing what those two tracks meant, but this video opened me a new world, thank you sir!

Finally Someone explained this in a step by step way for me to grasp it!! I'm so grateful to you!!!

[@Aspect8_5_2]

Liked and subscribed !! Very veryvgood video thanks for making

[@NarwhalTrainer7]

I learned from this video thank you! Another advantage you didn't mention is sending a bunch of tracks through parallel processing instead of insert processing saves your CPU a tonnnn

[@will_i_amj3761]

your french accent is so captivating

[@tobiaseisenschenk5435]

nicely explained!

Surprised you didn’t discuss pre vs post fader sends.

[@stefandowney]

Thanks. Still a bit lost in regard to it but I understand a lot more jargon now, best wishes, Stefan, Jersey, Channel Islands, Britain

[@debstep]

Great video as always. Love the momentary effects automation. Another fun thing is using lfos to modulate the send knobs for diff tracks. Lots of crazy results

Hello! Thanks for the video! I have one question: You are about to record some vocals and you have some vocal tracks (lead vocals and vocal layers) that require the same default plugins to get started. For example, you might have a standardized plugin chain like EQ, DeEsser, Compressor, Saturator, Reverb and Delay with default settings for every vocal track you produce. To save CPU, instead of inserting this plugin chain in each vocal track, people usually suggest using a Return track and inserting the plugin chain there. Then, it's advised to increase the Send level of the vocal tracks to let the audio pass through the Return track and then to the Master. However, unless the output of the vocal tracks changes from Master to Send Only, you will have double audio going through the master (the audio from the vocal tracks and the return track). You could also group the vocals and send them to the return track, which leads to the same issue but with less flexibility in the individual tracks. My question is what is the best practice in the above example, considering the need for further effects per track down the road, as well as gain staging and mixing overall? Thank you!

Hi... I am new to all this... How can I record vocal singing on Ableton but instead of using instruments, using an audio backing track? I don't know if I explained it well...

[@1unfortunate]

Thank you for this video everything was explained so well!!

[@manooverduevideos6886]

Reverb on base?🤔

[@alaukikdj]

if Ableton have something similar to Melodyne inbuild for advance vocal pitch editing then it would be the top 1 daw everywhere

[@beatlabacademy]

Yes, that and vocal comping are the most requested features. Ableton usually listens to its users, we’ll see what comes up in Ableton 11....

[@alaukikdj]

@@beatlabacademy that would be epic.. really excited ❣️🤞

I didn't catch it the first time: At 2:48 you should move the effect from the instrument track 1 to the return track A.
