![]() ![]() then a good mix is more about levels and panning and a bit make up here and there. I would never try to shape or squash a sound with to may plugs where i want it, if it is necessary to slap a ton of FX on to a sound to get it where you want it, then the choice of the sound is already totally wrong (in recording it's the same plus often simply badly recorded) if the selection is already good and the harmony of the sounds is already given majorly when everything is still dry. It is just like with a real recording, the choice of the sounds beforehand can make a lot of difference, ehhh. I personally try to avoid mixing tracks in live because i dont like the ableton sound. with abletons fx racks you can create such paralel processings.you might however need to have dummy plugs in the parallel chains because you cant allways trust the latency compensation and therfore might have phasings when one chain has only one plug and the other 5. Only with the very best vintage analoge desks you just move some levels and everything sounds wright. on digital ones you need such tricks even more. People do that on analoge desks all the time. so for example having the bassdrum on one channel clean.on the other with higfiltering and some short reverb in a compressor and mixing that together. Having parallel processing on one track can help. most pros use expensiv third party plugs because they sound better. daw´s that have better reverbs, filters and saturators usually are able to achive better mixes. Without an eq plug and maybe a saturator plug on allmost every channel you usually dont get very far with mixing in ableton live. ![]() filtering of high freq or different left /right processings are measures to create room or depth illusions. a lot of what people experiance as dead sound is actually because there is no room information in the sounds. exchanging the sound or slightly detuning it sometimes does more than any filtering.Īnd there are not many that are happy with abletons reverb plug in. ![]() when your hihats sound crap its most likely that this is because they actually sound crap. So you might be better of with not bothering too much about the sound and focus on the production. I also witnessed some gorgeous sounding tracks being totaly ruined by mastering. i witnessed some really crap sounding tracks coming alive thru good mastering. can happen that a lot of what makes professional tracks sound good has happened in the mastering. However, just working with perfect recorded sounds or beefing tracks tracks with analog filtering and compressor, and recording it back into a daw can help to reanimate dead sounds in better ways than doing it with 5 plug ins.as long you have good convertersĪnd yes. so it safes you from inserting eq´s, saturators and high and low cuts in allmost any channel.įrom my experiance i would say that there are no good sounding in the box mixes without the aid of tons of good plugins. what has a pretty good concept because it trys to emulate an analog mixing desk. ![]() for mysterious reason there are people that claim to achive better sounding results when using logic, protools or cubase.some seem to like the harrison mix bus software. Could it simply be they're not mastered yet?īeen going crazy all weekend over this, and help would be appreciated. Plus the overall volume is way lower in general.ĭo I just need to go back and keep trying or is there something I'm missing. The kick isn't as prominent, the bass has no life and the hi's sound blah.
