  Hey everybody! Welcome to Production Music Live. My name is Guido - I’m a mixing and mastering engineer and today we're going to be talking about 11 mixing tips for Ableton 11. They’re in no particular order and it's coming from a mixing perspective. It’s for when you’ve finished your production and you're like “Okay, I need to mix my track - how am I going to do that, and what are the tools to begin with?”Here's tip number one:   1. All the tools that you need are over in the Audio Effects tab. Luckily enough, Ableton has...

  What’s up guys! My name is LAR and today we’re going to look at making some Ben Böhmer sounds using u-he Diva. In the last article I did it with Serum. We’ll compare the two to see which of the synths works better in this style. Let’s get started! We’ll make 4 elements: Bass, Chords, Pluck and Swells. Here’s how it sounds:   1. Bass Let’s get started with the bass. If we use the initial Diva patch, it sounds quite nice already. What we could do is engage another oscillator, which adds a bit of an upper tone:...

  Hi! My name is Yannek Maunz and today I want to show you my favourite Diva patches which I made for the Organica sample pack I made together with Brascon. Today we’re going to be taking a look at this patch: Let’s make it from scratch in Diva. First, once we have the initialised preset, let’s start by setting up the oscillator. I chose the “Dual VCO” mode, but you can use whichever mode you like. We’re going to be using a saw wave along with noise: We’ll use the “Analog Envelope” to increase the release time of Envelope 1:...

  Hi! My name is Francois, and today we're looking at the lead sound of “Consciousness” with Wavetable - everything Ableton “in the box”. The lead sound consists out of two instances of Wavetable. We have this MIDI information being played: These are two layered sounds together:   We are sending those into a bunch of send reverbs and an overdrive. Let's quickly look at how the sound is set up: We’re using Wavetable with a saw wave and a bit of release - 600 ms - and two voices in the Random Note Unison mode. Then we’re adding a...

  What's up guys! This is Furcloud for The Sound Design Channel and in today's video we are going to be making a simple melodic house arpeggio pluck. We're going to be making it completely from scratch using Xfer Serum, so let's get right to it!  This is how the pluck sounds:     For those who are interested, this is what the midi looks like: To make it an arpeggio i have a Logic arpeggiator plugin - it's a stock plugin, and I have it at 1/16 rate Okay, so now let's recreate the sound! For this sound, as...

  Hi, my name is Yannek Maunz, and in this article we will make a groovy pluck sound. Let’s get started! Let’s insert Diva and add a single tone playing all the time and decrease the volume. Let’s turn the sound into a basic pad (increase the sustains and decrease the cutoff slightly, add chorus and reverb) We’re mixing it in very, very slightly - it’s not supposed to be an obvious, audible element. We can also automate the cutoff in Live: That’s just so that people get some tonal information - and it’s perfect for getting started with our...

  Hi Everyone! This is Leo Lauretti from Abstrakt Music Lab and in today’s article on Production Music Live we’re going to create a preset in Vital. It sounds like this:   This preset was taken from the Cercle Deep Sounds preset pack for Vital that you can check here in the description below - it’s a new preset pack that Production Music Live has available, so go check it out for sure. Let’s get started with our sound design. First, you need an LFOTool or other volume ducking tool - like Volume Shaper or Flux Mini 2 to create...

  What’s up guys! My name is LAR and today we’re going to take a look at a synth stab in Serum - so let’s have a little look at what I’m working on. It’s a very nice, clean sound - very useful to use as a lead or something like that. The MIDI we’re using here is taken from a pack from Ben Bohmer. As for the sound it’s taken from the pack by Furcloud called Innerbloom - really nice sound called Radiance. Let’s deconstruct this sound and go through all its elements. First let’s engage the A Oscillator,...

  Hi guys! In this tutorial you’re going to see how to make a pretty basic bass sound for deep house productions or also for techno and electronic music productions. It’s a long bass and it has a lot of power - and it’s also very easy to make for example with Serum. Let’s check out how it sounds: It’s this wam and long thing you want to put in the back - if you’re not looking for a rhythmic bass. Let’s make this patch from scratch! We can take the default wave from Oscillator A. We definitely need a...
