It was an honor writing & singing the song for this tutorial 💫🙏🏻
👏
I could mix and master like a pro too with a vocal performance like that 👑
you crushed it!
freaking lovely
You truly are a superstar !!
With any luck, these tutorials will give Ableton the hint that we need a stock pitch correction plugin like most other DAWs have
Isn’t there a built in pitch knob for every clip of audio already?
If you have the suite edition, there are some Max4Live autotune devices
@@csselement which one would you suggest?
The headbanging at the end was the real icing on the cake 😂
Love that Karra has a puppet now too!! 😂
Honestly, what a great vocalist. slayed as always
Just realised ried is Karras husband.
4 years into using Ableton and I never knew that you could do parallel effects using the effects rack without creating a wall of sends and returns. Thanks Reid - just one of the many gems in this tutorial.
I’ve been watching you both for years - I love you both 💙 you both so talented!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom it’s an honour to watch your content 👊👊
I appreciate this video. It's always good to see brother Reid do his thing!
This is so helpful! Thanks a lot!
I love the detailed explanations and the stock plugins.
Fireeee!!! Great collaboration!
really useful tut, mates. Keep on keeping on!
Great video!! And tutorial! Im motivated and inspired to utilize more of the stock plugins
Man you are elite!🔥..Thanks for sharing!🙏🏾
This is so helpful. Thank you ableton 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
j'adore cette video tellement précise dans le vocal lead
Most polished vocals I’ve heard with stock plugins. 😮
great to see Reid on the ableton channelled 💯
This is gold🔥🔥🔥
The final part ist the best one! :)))
Love this ❤ you guys are the best realist puppets ever
Great job!
well done! karra going ham at the end there lol
Reid just show a lot of us why we wasted thousands of dollars on stuff we didn't need. ❤
💯
So good!!!!!
best tut ever
I’m not doing EDM probably but this is super helpful for trying to learn the program. Good stuff!
bro casually slips past the SLAP he added in the parallel chain....lol
thank you so much for this Reid ! you rock! love from Tennessee
I noticed that too lol. It's probably a slap back delay, which is a single echo that plays after a very short duration. It can mimic, for example, the sound of singing in an auditorium. You can make one by putting in a delay, setting the feedback all the way down to 0% so it just echos once, and setting the delay time to like 40ms. Adjust filtering to taste.
@@offchristianamr thanks!
wow this was terrific teaching! more ableton teaching videos please!
Ableton for life😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
ableton stays slaying as per usual
This is fire !! Eyyy
Incredible master class!!!
BEST TUTO EVER
It will take me a year to understand what you guys have done in this video!
Very good video, I should start using parallel comp too.
This is fire 🔥!!!
Could you make a tutorial about Pre Recording vocal chain? without analog gear, i really need that sound, because as you pressed record, the quality of vocals already was very clean, i would be very greatfull!!! Love your videos!
I love these guys so much 💝 why is the ableton's icon purple?
To be honest, I can't get used to the puppet, even tho I know why it's there. Apart from that I really love your voice and your explanations style. You make great videos. Thank you!
What do you mean? That's him?
Wow I'm so excited to see Reid on the Ableton channel!! 🤩❤️
Gr8!
If you hold shift when pulling your automation dot up or down it will move a lot slower!
Same with volume sliders!
I love this! Why not set the make up gain on parallel compression to the amount of average attenuation?
I want the parallel compression quiet In The mix
@@ReidStefanMusic 🙏
Thank you so much
He really is the best puppet in the game… Such a goldmine of a tutorial !
Realest in the game.
UFFFFFFFF😜 what a video🤘🏽👌🏽
Hello all... Am I the first to ask about the new look of the stock Ableton Reverb at 4:59 ? Mine doesn't look like this, and I've got the 11.1.6 version. Is this what it's going to look like in the next update?
37:08 yesssss
Hey Ableton why does Ableton mess up the rhythm on everything when you switch buffer settings? I have to constantly switch buffer settings during a session but anytime I switch it makes everything off Beat. Is there a way to avoid this?
Review on the 251 please😇
Hey, ummm, what's that reverb you got going on there? My live reverb looks different.... and I believe I'm running the latest version.
That's what i noticed as well.
Did you use any slate virtual mics ( mic emulations ) with the slate ml-1 on this recording ? Or just used the mic “raw” ?
OTT's blue bars do upwards compression (it turns up the quiet stuff) by default, not expansion, which is the opposite (turning down the quiet stuff).
About time Ableton releases their own auto tune ;)
How do I only monitor in headphones? It always plays through the monitor too, so I pickup the click track in my mic.
What is the difference between creating a parallel chain (with reverb, for example) and simply using the wet/dry mix?
Being new to Live, I'd like to know this as well.
Hi there. Thanks for the comment. As with many features in Live (and in music-making in general), sometimes the same effect can be achieved by different methods. But, sometimes people choose to use a parallel chain because it opens up possibilities for adding other effects which can be easily controlled all at once with the one track. If you're just using the one effect, there probably isn't a big difference. Hope this helps!
@@Ableton Makes sense. Thanks!
Fantastic tutorial! :)
BTW, 'c' toggles arming record on the currently selected track.
Great bid will.learn a lot from this
OMG! This is the realest puppet in the game❤
7:50 - warped and unwarped null if same tempo and no pitch change. The Fourier transform on complex and complex Pro imposes a slight phase shift so those won't null but beats most certainly does. I'm wondering then, why are you unwarping saying that it makes an audio quality difference? I have noticed some slight oddities with warped clips cross fading and no tempo or pitch variation and in one of the non-spectral warping modes. Haven't seen this to be repeatable though and it was mostly related to timing as I recall. Is this why you have unwarped them ?
unwarping the vocals makes a load of difference, brother. it's actually night and day if you work with vocals a lot. everything sounds better and magically feels more natural. there really is no warp setting that feels natural or as natural compared to unwarping the vocal. it used to drive me mad and unwarping the vocal makes working with vocals in ableton worth it imo
Are you re-recording a 2nd take for a left and right? What is the purpose of that?
With this technique you get a nice wide stereo image and a somewhat fuller sound. It’s a pretty common technique with guitars, too.
Notice the constant swapping to tracks to adjust plugins
Cos ableton doesn't have a console view/system yet
Like after how many years?
And terrible piano roll. And timestretching algorithms.
@@SynderNOfficial I disagree with the time stretching algorithms, they're the best ones of any DAW
@@klipnity Ever heard of FL Studio?
@@SynderNOfficial Yes, it has Top tier Piano Roll
there is a hidden mode that can be enabled using options.txt that shows insert effects in session view ✌🏼✌🏼
Reid the realest puppet in the gameeeee!!!!!
Why didn’t y’all use that telefunken ela m 251 mic over that slate !? I clicked on here to hear that hhahaa
We purposely recorded her voice thru the more affordable gear to make the lesson a showcase how how good a $500 mic can sound with 99% Ableton plugins
Is there any hardware in this vocal chain? It sounds great
No
@@ReidStefanMusic Thanks for the reply your puppetry, preciate it. Yeah I heard you say you're going straight in after I type that lol. And you're using the Slate naked? I mean with no mic modeling.
@@jacksp8de i don’t use the mic modeling plugin
@@ReidStefanMusic really? Wow sounds really good on its own. I use the Townsend Labs and it’s amazing with the Apollo. Anyways thanks for the reply, your channel is a huge inspiration.
Ableton is the company. Live is their product.
No
Wait wait wait did anyone catch the new reverb look in that rack?
@@PablitaPicasita 14:45
Good eye. I think Live 12 is coming in a few months
It's a reverb from the 11.2 version, which is coming very soon
I also thought about doing this because I am ugly
14:37
let gooo
MAKE A.R.A IN ABLETON PLEASE!!!!!!
🙏🏻
梦幻联动
Shout out to the Ableton live lite users who can’t do this yet 🎉
Tip #1 have a dope ass singer like Karra
I need to create a shortcut for the like button...
TLDR: Live doesn't have a pitch correction effect.
one more proof that all u need is Ableton
Forget them other puppets, This is the realist one in the game!
Wait what?
MESSI, REID & ABLETON
i really beliebe that puppet wasnt really singing in real time mmm
These 2 are so cute and hilarious 😍
15:25 that is not expansion. That is upward compression. A similar process goes on if you throw in drum buss and then turn the transients knob to the right. You're holding up the reverb tails, releases, noise floor etc. If you were doing downward expansion it would be a similar process to turning the transients knob in drum bus to the left. Additionally, if you were expanding multiband across all those bands that heavily you would evaporate everything quiet in your signal. It would be similar to doing a nonlinear phase crossover across three bands and then throwing a gate on each one with about a -40 dB threshold given the settings you're playing with here. The whole point of OTT is to flatten out the spectrum. This is done by simultaneous multiband downward and upward compression per band, heavily. That said, use Duda's. It's free, and has better crossovers.
EN Français cela aurait mieux parce que on comprend rien
"stock plugins"
Uh oh, looks like Karra is lip-syncing….
Not surprised. Shes just another industry puppet.
Don't mix vocals with a stereo mix .
Reid is so unbelievably corny bro 🥲🥲
"EDM" make me shudder
9:13 - Ableton please, I hope you understand this. Nobody wants to use the sh*tty colors.
Idk how Nuendo, Cubase, FL Studio, Studio One, etc. gets this right and you guys don't 😭😭😭
I think the colors are great
4 mins in and everything but Ableton stock plugins being used - UAD interface and UAD plugins on the input and Antares Autotune - not much really just another $1500 of gear you may not have. The title of the video is a bit disingenuous in that regard. Anyone with this kind of setup probably already know how to record a few vocals - so who is this video for?
Apollo ADR isn’t that much drastically different from something like a Focusrite Solo 3 or M2 it’s like 112 Sinad compared to 102 but they probably have an expensive mic like a TLM 103.
Great tutorial, minus the music. Has no soul. The girl needs to find another producer, great vocals
Has na soul ?? Which music do you consider to have soul ??
@@Positive_Tea no way. The drums on this track are weak
Fera
RECORDING AND MIXING THE VOCALS ARE THE BEST YOU CAN DO!!!
Reid Stefan is a better known person for its own crimson tide?!?!?!?!?!
At this time we need a music producer!!!!
