    Join us at OCL studios in Alberta for the second MWTM series with Illangelo! In this instalment, the Grammy award-winning producer and engineer gives you a detailed mix walkthrough of ‘After Hours’ by the Weeknd. With the Ableton session open, he explores every element of the complex project, demonstrating his workflow and revealing innovative techniques along the way. You’ll see how he used a plethora of tools to build an immersive soundscape with pristine vocals that cut through the instrumental. He shares his elaborate vocal chains, shows how he automates a variety of effects to occur at specific moments, and goes through his mix buss step by step. You’ll learn how he enhances clarity with filters, groove with intricate side-chain compression, and movement with modulation. Further to imparting his methods, Illangelo also discusses the inspiration for the record and its production process!

      Ive got a question for all of you guys here,I saw the Alone again lessons, and have yet to watch this but... I use FL studio primarily, was thinking of trying ableton out. FL is a CPU hog. It would crash with a project like this, how does he utilize SO many plugins on just one bus? In alone again he must have used 15 effects on one sound. FL allows ten slots, but I can barely chain effects without freezing/consolidating tracks. Can ableton handle large projects better? or allow an endless plugin chain? FL has patcher, but it doesnt save CPU
