Great tips, thank you. I found the background music a little too distracting (I’m neurodivergent).
Ill turn it a bit down in the future :)
Save device as default - change the -12dB to 0dB ( yeah, I agree, its annoying to set all the time the gain knob to 0Db on simpler/sampler)
Never even thought about that! It is super annoying
If you set the default -12 in Simpler/Sampler to 0db it's instantly clipping your samples.
@ not really it depends on your sample. I prefer to lower down the gain knob as needed it instead of setting up the volume each time I use simpler /sampler to achieve the loudness that I want. Specially while re sampling stuff. You can double check it with your ears, and visually to make sure that is not clipping. Always it depends on the source. Maybe a sweet spot is to set it at -3dB to leave some room just in case.
@@MidnightRabbit You said it yourself already, it's because you are resampling stuff which is not the same as using loops from sample packs which are mastered (normalized) at 0db by default. Ableton is basically helping you out to prevent clipping when you use samples inside Simpler/Sampler.
Instant sub
Instant sub? Wow, you’ve mastered the art of speedy decisions! Welcome aboard!
Sounds so good ✨
I'm glad you think so!
how do you just have it play from the beginning of the session?
From your marker its just space!
@@iykomusic there is no shift/enter to just play it from the start of the track??
Spitfire's products need to be on this list
Which ones?
@@iykomusic Off the top of my head, I know BBC Symphony Pro runs you like $1000.
Yay I COMENT FIRST! I AM COOLER THAN ALL YOU ARE! BASK IN MY GLORY INFERIOR BEING! I
I’m personally very happy for you.
what about the eq that matched maag eq hardware air band that was 10k usd but has to be taken down because maag sued due to 100% null test, they won because its their patent
I forgot about that!!
Can I suggest less editing on your videos? The zooming in and out and flicking around, blips everytime your face comes on screen is so annoying and distracting. Your advice is great, keep making videos!
Good call out :-)
These are some great points summarized, especially with the writers block thing, I was trying to put a name on that struggle of mine but you helped me find it, and now I'm working towards solving it. Thanks man. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to change the names of my two budgerigars to Wow & Flutter
I think thats a great idea.
Great video. One thing I do differently, not sure if it's better or worse. If create an idea in one project I think maybe a project on it's own. I click 'save as' then save as a different name then delete everything I don't want. Again great vid, thanks.
Great point!
I hate how accurate this is to some of those gatekeepy music/art tutorials on here 😭
Glad it clicked 🤣
Im a Reason guy they are pretty expensive vs other brands but it feels like home to Me thats My DAW and system for nearly two decades it got issues but I love it.
Whatever works!!
Please make more of these type of videos
For sure! Keep your eyes peeled! ✌️
Am your 400th sub man
Almost to 400! Tell your friends ;)

Nice channel! Can you do a video on the Vocoflex plugin? Would be interesting to hear your musical and coding side of things
Thanks for the idea!
Please make one on vocal flex by dreamtones
FabFilter is a bundle, not a singular plugin - if you take bundles into account, obviously the prices are gonna be into the thousands

Which of these is your favorite??
Check out that subscribe button :)
Have you found anything more expensive than these?
The most overpriced and gimmick plugins repackaging whats already in most DAWs is Unison audio to buy 5 of there plugins would cost around $2000.
Dang dude........we are at the beginning of something special...I just found you today, these videos are speaking to me deeply. Well done brother.
Glad to hear it’s resonating (:
nice video man! i dont think rick is taht honest saying he has no technical knoledge.. he actually programmed the 808 he did his first records and played guitar on few records.. plus when you have a lifetime in a studio you can use any machine there if you want.. he just does not want to bu he knows how to work the machines.. he just plays the guru : )
Rick DEFINITELY gives off guru vibes. HA.
@@iykomusicno doubt 😊
Very well done for taking the steps! Being clean is the best path!
Thanks for the video
It really is!
Using Oversample on EQ8 affects the Phase of your sound so it isn't always the best thing to do.
Good to know!
What I learned short short short nvda short short short short nvda
Perfectly summarized
@@iykomusic yayyyyyy
I've been using Ableton since version 4, but I learned a couple of things here, so thank you for those. One thing I do differently though. I keep all tracks to 0db, only altering initially for the correct balance in sound (up or down, it makes no different at this stage). Then when it comes to gain staging, I will highlight all the tracks and bring down the volume of one track (still with the shift button down)and the rest will follow. This allows me to peak at -6db on the master every time, whilst maintaining the volume ratios I'd set previously.
Love that! I'm going to give it a try.
@@iykomusic I'm glad to help. One thing I forgot to mention. When the tracks start piling up and it begins to distort, I will do the above just a couple of db at a time.. it's no hardship to highlight all / shift reduce a couple of db. as long as you end up with the 6 db of headroom.
IYKO headquarters baby

Omg man!!! These tips are so good 😎😎😎 The sample replace function is saving me hours in the future

So many things I could be doing haha thanks bro
Start making that money!
Great advice!
Thanks for watching!
cool vid, gl on ur way
Thank you!
On the plugins thing... I've been doing this for a short time and I've already created a few tracks that actually sound like music. I'll give my own creativity and love of music some credit... but I also have to give some credit to the amazing plugins, synths, orchestra libraries etc that I've spent (or wasted) money on. I get so much inspiration when I find a synth preset I love and immediately get ideas for a song. I'm also open to the help some of the plugins can give to form musical ideas, especially the virtual instruments like UJAM plugins. But my favorite thing is just collecting vsts and exploring experimenting with them even if I might never use one in a song. Its fun. But even with all of the help I get from my growing plugin collection, it hasn't kept me from learning to play piano and get as much music theory knowledge that I can.
Fully agree!
It’s also peculiar that his techniques are exactly the same techniques as the laziest person that I know. He also does not really participate much in the creative aspect of production
Its the more technical aspects of production he doesn't participate in, that always surprised me too.
Just remember that not every technique works for every person. I am most creative within the first two hours of waking up
Absolutely! I think one of the worlds most successful music producers was definitely a worthwhile case study!
How to stop overthinking by Rick Rubin: 1. Be an ultra-rich out of touch celebrity who makes music for a living. 2. Be friends with a ton of other famous celebrities. 3. Have a personal chef who preps and makes all your meals and buys all your food with no budget regardless of the price. 4. Be so well off that you can work around your rigorous meditation schedule.
Right? If I had that kind of setup, I’d be overthinking how to spend my free time instead! 😂
Great video, Thank you!
