[@garrysmout6095]

Sorry if this is long. Thank you! Halfway through your excellent course and you have finally got through to my ageing brain a huge difference from recording back in the early 80s, in a studio, to trying to do it at home on a laptop. That difference is there is first mixing then there is mastering. Back in the day, thanks to magnetic tape losing quality, the final mix was the master which never went on for more treatment. I am currently trying to mix something that is meant to have dramatic dynamics and the learning curve is steep, especially as the laptop is running out of steam to drive Ableton and 28 tracks with various effects. I find myself having to either freeze the track which makes it uneditable or flatten it, which, in a sense, is already becoming its own master as I then find, as CPU frees up a wee bit, I am adding other treatments on top of that. Among your many tutorials would you happen to have one on how to deal with getting round a suffering CPU? Apart from that, just love your informative, bouncy, knowledgable and easy to grasp delivery. Thanks again.

[@joelgratton5836]

Fantastic teaching. I like how you start with a "how to think of it", rather than a "how to do it" illustration.

[@febby_febrian]

Is this just Ableton specific? or in general this can be done using another DAW

[@djmarkopollo1272]

Hello, Im from Slovakia and I lived in the UK longer time..I'll be great to watch all your new videos for beginners to 22nd August... I'm looking for all kinds of techniques that I can use in creating. It's great what you do. Many show what they know and it really helps those who wants work as professionals...

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Welcome aboard! ❤️

[@erwingouw3162]

[@Megrigord]

I am not beginner I just finished my diploma in Live music and watching this video learned new things new techniques like drawing the music and locate the sounds. Never thought I could combine my drawing skills with my love for Mixing it could help me workout my ears 😂 she is good

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

So happy you liked it! I think ”seeing” sound helps us understand concepts so much, also de-mysifies all the tech things ☺️ hope you’ll like the course!

[@ventonuovo]

Ma'am would you be so kind and do a whole tutorial about dietrokid and maybe distrovid ... it would help very much aswell .... 😊😊😊😊

[@playmakersmusic]

Thanks LNA currently rewatching your past videos! I see you drawing so flawlessly where each instruments are but I'm having a hard time matching it like yours. Is it normal to be different for each listener?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

It can be different. But also depends of your monitor/headphone setup. :)

[@blue.sunset]

Lina, I have just returned to your channel. I was recovering from the shock I had when I saw you dancing in your music video 😁😜

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

welcome back!

[@BappyLalmonirhat]

😍

[@badboyv2344]

can you teach recording process?

[@bambeeification]

What are those speakers you have in the background, what models are they? ❤

[@ramiropuelmas8557]

one question: is using headphones valid for the type of imaging you do in the video? Since the right speaker doesnt reach the left ear and vice versa i would think its not possible to achieve accurate imaging as with studio monitors.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

You can use what you have on offer. So heaphones will be fine ☺️

[@BLACKSONBEATS]

give this woman an oscar

[@cavemansounds]

Hey I use bandlab so is it same like ableton??

[@andrebeats6413]

lol seems like i can only lear when its a woman teaching the only time im really attentive to what the person is saying thus far you are one of the best teachers online no cap

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

thank you very much! :)

Will I be able to do this on ableton 11 live Lite?

Yes most of it! ☺️

[@amaraokolo1371]

Can I follow along if I don't have ableton

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yes you can :)

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yes :)

[@ratuldutta1521]

Simply curious about the zoom call course. Is it something specifically catered towards women and non binary person and not men? Anyone with experience can answer though. It's just that I have never seen such a thing in a "music production" course.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yes this course is just for gender minorities to try to increase the numbers of us in the audio industries. I might be doing something like this soon for everyone ☺️
