In this video I show how I sometimes prefer to use the Ableton Audio Fades to manually duck the kick when thinking of sub, bass, off beat audio. I do sometimes use either but lately have preferred to use the audio fades and then freeze to also visually see the new waveform. How do you approach it? let me know in the comment section :D

TAL filter works great
It’s like LFO tool but free
Also good for sound design
The Ableton shaper paired with a utility gain knob works too but harder to dial in.
Prob will side chain the kick is unless it’s a super tight kick the compressor attack/rel settings are less effective can’t shape it as well bc of a longer reverb kick or whatever

Nice one mate :-)

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

U ever use a low shelf dynamic eq and sidechain that ? I like that for just mixing purposes if not wanting that pumping sound

[@Mickey.Nox.]

Some times I do that in Pro MB on the low end :-)

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

What would be cool is to be able to use fades every beat or whatever and not have to slice up a longer loop into individual slices
I like working in midi when possible so volume automation is where I’m stuck at
Def like what your showing here

[@Mickey.Nox.]

I’d duplicate the midi channel so you have the original. And then automate the fades on the frozen version and see how you go :-)

Can u do a video on the sends and returns u typically use?

[@Mickey.Nox.]

Good idea
Will do :-)

Usually use a glue compressor for sidechaining
or use shaperbox’s volume. But freezing to see the new waveform sounds like a legit way, I’ll try

[@Mickey.Nox.]

Nice. I’ve heard about shaperbox but never used it :-)

[@cznmuzik]

@@Mickey.Nox. Definitely worth to check bro

[@pedropapaleo266]

Glue Compressor with ghost or LFO Tool / Kickstart?

[@Mickey.Nox.]

Will have to check out the LFO Tool :D
