Audio Tip: From the Ableton Live Manual
Read more . . . →One point for all the producers out there, from the Ableton Live manual. Although the Complex modes may sound better, particularly when used with mixed sound files containing many different kinds of audio material, they are never neutral not even at the original tempo. Because of this, and because of the increased CPU demands of these algorithms, we recommend using them only in cases where the other Warp modes don't produce sufcient results. This is one of the reasons that the technique known as "stem-mastering" sounds so good when finishing up songs, basically you're locking down the complex algorithm (assuming...

Studio Compression at ATAM Productions: Liquid Mix vs Duende Native Review
(I'm not including the native Ableton and Logic compressors, but they get a bit of use too) The Liquid Mix is a convolution compressor and equalizer that I purchased for my studio about 6 months ago. ...

This lets advanced users program custom interfaces and controls that have access to every piece of information Ableton Live knows about the audio. The possibilities of extending the features of the application are limited only by the programming skill and creative needs of the user. I have used the software a...

Sebastien Leger does it again with Plik Plok
Read more . . . →Image by Romain Heuillard via Flickr I have been a fan of Sebastien Leger for a while now. I first wrote about his remix of Manson, The People last September. Even before that I did a quick tech blog post showing him mixing some stuff in Ableton for his live show. In fact it sounds very similar to this song Plik Plok. I really love the minimal feel of this. It still has very prominent sonic elements; this song fills your speakers out! What's great about this song is its very DJ friendly. If you love electronic music this is...
