    Wow, super great video setup for your video production... love how we can see your Ableton Live page, your Face, and Annotations!!!! I've been using AL for 5 years now, but as a producer...I'm looking forward to pulling off a Live performance!

    Great video, I especially like how you organize the stems. This is very helpful thanks ! One thing I added so I wouldn't lose the FX on my sends was to route their audio back into the stem channel I was bouncing. So for example: if I'm doing synths, I'll change the audio output on my returns to "Synth" and then bounce that stem track individually. It's a little more work but that way your tracks aren't dry. **make sure you solo the stem tracks before you export that way you don't get the fx for all the other channels mixed in**

    • @angelrosas1644
      @angelrosas1644 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay can you explain this a little more? i understand the concept im just fuckin up the execution. I realized the effects don't stay with the stems in a new set. (specifically sidechain and compressors and i feel like reconfiguring each one individually will take too much time or maybe im just lazy)

    Great video - super helpful! I have Ableton Live Lite though, which only allows for a maximum of 8 tracks in total, so I wouldn't be able to create as many tracks as you have... Hopefully I can still make it work. Thanks for sharing Julian!

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should be good if your setup is simpler than this.

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      New computer! jk, but the only solutions are work arounds. Increase your buffer rate, lower your sample rate.

  • @aggi999
    @aggi999 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You do however sometimes use a vocal and a lead at the same time, you would use sidechain compression to enable that, example: "Noisecontrollers - Down Down" (second climax)

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup! I add a 9th channel for situations like this. but it's definitely less common.

  • @resofactor
    @resofactor 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those 8 Channels, are those going to Send/Return Channels,
    or their own sub-buss routing via the Track Output of those Channels?

    How did you get your talking head to overlay against the screen recording? It's very smooth compared to a separate window. Very nicely done!

  • @PspiralifeTutorials
    @PspiralifeTutorials 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Big Question! What if I want to play mastered tracks and stems from my mixdowns sound bad along side master versions of other tracks of mine? This is the one reason I have not yet given this stem method a go yet...
    Thanks for your quality videos btw. Very inspiring.

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You must be using a lot of mastering effects then. Perhaps use your mastering chain in live with the unmastered stems when you play.

    • @maxforster1850
      @maxforster1850 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I mean what if you just make a group with all of your hubs and put your master effects on it? that should work !!

    If there is a lot of automation in your track will that mess with your live set?? If you want to loop a section I’m realizing the automation would become a problem.

  • @kingfriday2031
    @kingfriday2031 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question.. So i created the audio tracks at the bottom to organize my clips into bass kick perc etc... but when i go up to the original tracks to change the routing from master to my new kick track... it doesn't show up... any idea why?

  • @d3ath1nsuranc3
    @d3ath1nsuranc3 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    this is definitely a stupid question, idk how to word this right so nothing's coming up online. ok so what am i doing wrong if within the output dropdown the bus i want to send it to doesn't show up? on the bus the in/out/auto boxes are greyed out. i got some to work, but it just seems like specific ones are grey. all the other settings are the same for all the buses.

  • @isuru7777
    @isuru7777 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you please tell me. when you copy and past a clip in session view, when you when you drag and drop a new sound that also changes the sound in the original clip. how do I make thee two clips independent. Means I want to have different sounds in the original clip and on the copied one. please help

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      you have to use another channel for it.

    • @isuru7777
      @isuru7777 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your answer . Yes I tried that starting new MIDI column past in it, but still its the same when I change the copied clip it changes the original as well.

    so whats your mastering process, are these stems raw or how does that work

    • @JulianGrayMedia
      @JulianGrayMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      raw stems, I run them through a basic mastering chain live

    • @nickieisensee
      @nickieisensee 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      So you need to have kind of a good mix before rendering the 8 tracks ...
      and better do not have a mastering chain on your project while preparing the Stems ... easy to fool yourself ...
      Stems are not mastered

      You can't use return effects in this config, unless you re-route returns into their own channel.
