Im transitioning from fl to ableton and approaching it as a newbie . Ive performed sets in ableton but never used it to make music so im letting myself approach it from a new perspective and your videos are truly helpful af . Thankyou :)
2018 and still is my favorite channel ever since. Thanks. You've helped me so much in the past 2 years in producing music. When my dad listened to the music I produced he told me I definitely became better. Its all thanks to you and other helpful youtubers. Enjoy your holidays man.
Hello! Thanks for the video! I have one question: You are about to record some vocals and you have some vocal tracks (lead vocals and vocal layers) that require the same default plugins to get started. For example, you might have a standardized plugin chain like EQ, DeEsser, Compressor, Saturator, Reverb and Delay with default settings for every vocal track you produce. To save CPU, instead of inserting this plugin chain in each vocal track, people usually suggest using a Return track and inserting the plugin chain there. Then, it's advised to increase the Send level of the vocal tracks to let the audio pass through the Return track and then to the Master. However, unless the output of the vocal tracks changes from Master to Send Only, you will have double audio going through the master (the audio from the vocal tracks and the return track). You could also group the vocals and send them to the return track, which leads to the same issue but with less flexibility in the individual tracks. My question is what is the best practice in the above example, considering the need for further effects per track down the road, as well as gain staging and mixing overall? Thank you!
Really? I don't have a clue what you are talking about. I wanted to know what sends/returns were used for, but I didn't get that info from this video. I am still clueless.
Hey Underbelly, Im new to dj-ing in ableton. If i have 2 outputs only in our audio interface, let say focusrite 2i2, and the output goin to both of my rokit speakers. I cant cue with 2 outputs. Is it possible if i connect a mixer to my focusrite and then cue and connect everything over there?
so that all the tracks get (and are affected by the same changes in) the same effect, plus if you're mixing live it's obviously easier to mix 1 or 2 send effect as opposed to a bunch of effects for each individual track
placing an effect such as a reverb or delay on a return track give you much more control over that effect than if you just placed it on the original track itself
Its also a great way to use less CPU if your computer isn't up to snuff. Instead of putting the same effect on several tracks, slap the effect on a bus and you only have to use it once.
Bunsen Labs I actually just used this for the first time the other day! I have an electric bass. I duplicated it and had ones effects focus on lows and the others on high's. I then added a sub bass using massive. Then I put those 3 into a bass group and plopped effects onto the group!
Haha thats dope, I bet that mix sounds super smoov! I actually work in Logic but a lot of the terminology and function carries over, it just executes differently. I love using busses especially for heavy reverbs & compressors. I just set one specifically for some layered snares I'm working with. I kinda HAVE to use busses though cause my computer is in dire need of upgrades lol. Plus, it allows me to really get creative with how I approach mixing.
What a nice guy. And I can see myself not sucking at producing in the near future. honestly thx for your vids man. youre a better teacher than the ones in my school, yet your dumb jokes always make me laugh. keep it up, dad.
LMAO, imagine people on a bus, if the bus crashes we all get injured and lose our legs. thus intruments or vocals in a bus all get affected the same way.
"If we look inside this this horrible person, you'll notice that all their filled with is just malice, cruelty and hate."
I couldn't stop laughing at that too XD

"Underbelly always said life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
this video made learning this information tolerable you are hilarious, i love you
nice analogy! I'm a horrible person!

Hahahahaha
this channel is so fucking under rated
You are helping me right now and are doing it in a fantastic way, you have my sub and like!
How’d you get the red lines around the top four sequences
I'm an FL guy I don't even use ableton live... I don't know why i'm here...
but i'm SO glad I stayed.
you're so funny mate and I'm learning so much ! THANK YOU MISTERRRR
This got me laughing so freaking hard, bro you're amazing, I can't say it enough
taught me a lot about myself and my relationship
Hilarious. i just subscribed, I hope all of your videos are this funny!
my dude i just realised you would be great character in office
wow ~~~really nice tutorial!
thank you my friend
nothing better than green love fluid 😂
Does anyone know what effects are being used in the send channels?
Really? I don't have a clue what you are talking about. I wanted to know what sends/returns were used for, but I didn't get that info from this video. I am still clueless.
its because your a terrible person
great explanation
I learned so much
getting showered in green love fluid is why i got into making music
green love fluid is the name of my new album
My favourite video ever!!!!!
This is one of the best
My mom always said. "Life was like a box a chocolates. Except that one right there, That's definitely shit."
This was funny and informative at the same time
This is so funny! Thank you! haha :P
This is gold.
Beautiful
you are so perfectly hilarious
hey thanks man
Please make more videos!!!
will do
You Suck at Producing YES PLEASE !
And thats how a Plumbus is made
very good
My dude with the 60% computer keyboard in the background. I SEE YOU. This man is woke.
Allright,,what is this post fx,pre fx,1/2 send that in ableton send drop box menu
This is great
Hey Underbelly, Im new to dj-ing in ableton. If i have 2 outputs only in our audio interface, let say focusrite 2i2, and the output goin to both of my rokit speakers. I cant cue with 2 outputs. Is it possible if i connect a mixer to my focusrite and then cue and connect everything over there?
its possible to output in mono from one channel of your focusrite and cue out the other
Gonna make a yt channel called Overback and tell people they’re great at producing and that’s it. No tips, no tricks, no nothing!
This is beautiful :)
What made the bad person bad tho??
Magic!!
I love you!
It's cute!
Why not just add the effect to the track? What is the point of sends?
so that all the tracks get (and are affected by the same changes in) the same effect, plus if you're mixing live it's obviously easier to mix 1 or 2 send effect as opposed to a bunch of effects for each individual track
Educational and hilarious. Bravo
This is hilarious! Still well explained!
I love u man
Mmm, at morning nothing is as good as a fresh juicy earrape
I LOVE YOU!
that's gold, bro))
I just watch You Suck At Producing and keep telling eveyone I have music education. I think I'm a terrible person
*horrible
Bruv no one can explain send/return better this vdo in such short time
This man constantly looks like he’s about to cry
I reel like i'm watching a corrupt episode of Mr Rodgers.
lol best tutorial on sends and returns
I don't understand what this would be used for exactly. I need an example :p
placing an effect such as a reverb or delay on a return track give you much more control over that effect than if you just placed it on the original track itself
You Suck at Producing hmmm interesting. I assumed it would be something like that. I'll have to play around with it. Thank you
Its also a great way to use less CPU if your computer isn't up to snuff. Instead of putting the same effect on several tracks, slap the effect on a bus and you only have to use it once.

this was actually hilarious

Been using logic forever and idk wtf bussing means
LMAO, imagine people on a bus, if the bus crashes we all get injured and lose our legs. thus intruments or vocals in a bus all get affected the same way.
BEYONDD Literally the best way I've ever seen that described.
Youre fuckin great dude
