Mixing/Mastering / Re: Sidechain using Volume Shaper
« on: March 18, 2016, 04:11:28 pm »
See LFO Tool: https://www.xferrecords.com/products/lfotool
Volume Shaper does the same thing as LFO tool.

any one know how its better? I'm thinking because using a compressor changes the sound a bit??

It's better because a compressor doesn't dip the sound to silence for that one little moment, though volume shaper does and that means your drums will cut through regardless of volume, that's all explained in the video.

Read about scales and such, this website also helps a ton if you don't have that much of a music theory background:
http://www.pianoworld.com/fun/vpc/piano_chords.htm

Just pick a root note, a scale (Minor for example) and the notes displayed down under "Notes in chord/scale" are the notes you're allowed to use for that specific scale, if you're on Ableton I recommend putting in all of those notes on top of each other and filling them on as many octaves as possible, then moving them back so you don't hear them and folding the piano roll, now you can place notes randomly without going off key.

Hope this helps.

Mixing/Mastering / Sidechain using Volume Shaper
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:51:51 am »
Hey guys, i'm new to this forum and thought I'd give it a go since I've always wanted to be part of a small active producer forum community.

Now this is a little tip I've stumbled upon when I was watching youtube tutorials, if you've heard of Barely Alive, they have a really neat tip on sidechaining,
You basically use Volume Shaper to dip in the sound instead of sidechain compression and it's 10x cleaner in my opinion, here's a link to the video for further explanation:

Hope you find this helpful, thanks. :D

Ableton has a "Hip Hop Sub Bass" preset which I've found is heavy as hell. Great for getting a good pump in your song, if you set the decay right.

Was watching this NGHTMRE seminar last night and he also said he uses that sub on almost every track of his, it sounds really good actually and it's so easy to control.

This is really good man!
Mixdown sounds really clean to me too, great job on this, really have nothing to criticize here at all.

Just one question, what'd you use for those violins that come 1:46?
