    Thinking of buying a Force. Clicked this video. Thought "what's the ipad all about?"
    Then you started showing the signal path on the ipad and I was immediately convinced that your channel is what I need. You know what you are talking about AND most importantly how to communicate. Unlike most other "producer" channels who are just chancers full of wind with no deeper understanding of what they are talking about. They think just talking smooth makes their channel worth subs. No. Not by my standards. I will be subbing, liking and commenting on all your videos. Bravo. And thank you. Ben (Bristol, UK)

    Totally love this. Finally really using my Force now that our mixers can be plugged in. Completely ditched the laptop. Using Force as Master Clock and all audio tracks, with my Zoom L20r as the audio interface, Machinedrum, Mc 707, Radias, and Digitone Keys. Love the set up and these lessons are so useful. I’m splitting sequences duties between the digitone and Force and Sipario midi router tied everything together.

    I might be wrong, but I think you have the Q value backwards when you were cutting out the 70hz from the bass. I think a higher Q makes a more narrow band and wouldn't affect as wide of a frequency band.

    Super basic question that i cant seem to fins the answer to.
    Can you route individual tracks to different outputs on the force? Like kick to output 3 only, snare to output 4 etc? Im assuming they would have to be on separate tracks and not just in one drum group but im not sure.
    My force doesnt arrive for a few days so i cant test it out and figure out for myself yet haha

    Funny enough the only part I wanted to see, you just skiped the video. Well I couldnt find the submixes 1-8 channels anywhere, I just found out that we have to moove left with the arrows in the master mixer screen. And there they are. In case some one comes here with the same problem as I, here it is the skiped part subtitles!!

      I'm struggling with this also. I press the master button, in the screen the text says showing master tracks, but nothing appears (the mixer keeps showing tracks), I press the left arrow and nothing. Do i have to add master tracks? can't seem to find how to see send effects, submixes etc. Thanks!

    One major limitation is chaining sub mixes. You cannot have a drums sub and bass sub mix and mix them together in a sub 😐
    That’s how you make a super tight mix. Oh well.

    I am a total noob ...is it better to find the fundamental freq of the kick and eq other low end tracks around it, or to use a side chained ducking compressor? Thanks! And great videos!

    • @MaxipokMusic
      @MaxipokMusic  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I normally try and get it sounding right with EQ, and treat the side chain ducking as a creative effect if I want, if that makes sense? I found this video very helpful for sorting the low end out with EQ:

      Hi! Just hit the mixer button, and then swipe left on the touchscreen and you will get to them. I think they will also show up if he hit the mixer button, and then the ‘master’ button in the bottom left corner of the pads.

      Yep that’s how I would do it. Just need to remember that if you record your performance, you need to manually enable automation write on the sub mix, as the global control in the arranger doesn’t cover them for some mystifying reason!

    Ok but your use of the term parallel processing is wrong and therefore confusing to people who don't know - parallel processing is NOT the same as bus processing aka submixes. In a bus, like in your drawing, the outputs simply get routed THROUGH the bus to the main outs. But for parallel processing, the outputs get SPLIT, with one side of the split going to a bus, the other side going to the main outs. Parallel processing allows you to then blend the processed signal with the dry signal, which is not possible with bus processing. In bus processing, you only get the processed signal. AFAIK, the only way to do parallel processing on the Force would be to create a submix for any channel you want to stay dry, then use the send/returns to create the processed signal.
