what you'd love to hear is "Your the God of the Ableton" . Thanks for the tips, master

idk if it counts as "sidechain" but some of Live's resonance effects such as Corpus or Spectral Resonator have MIDI sidechain, you can do pretty amazing things with that

@@danielweirdone Yes, totally! I guess I was just focusing purely on audio sidechains here, but there's plenty of fun to be had with MIDI too!

You're welcome! 🙌

This comment made my day ❤💜

Have in mind that the sidechain track is also special for maintaining the sidechain effect on (let's say of a kick) even when the kick is not playing, just to keep getting the pumping effect through all the track in the instruments affected

Totally love this idea! I'm definitely gonna be stealing this 💪

🎉🎉🎉

Yeah, that's definitely an awesome use!

I'm a fan of MB Compressor's simplicity but I appreciate Elphnt's tool, Splittr, as a way to not have phasing issues or coloration as a result of using a non-linear EQ tool such as MB Compressor. Plus you can do so much more than compression/expansion since it's just an audio rack :) So much good stuff in these comments too

@George Moore can you please share more details on how you achieve a similar approach to trackspacer with only stock plugins? trackspacer is a mix of mb compressor + dynamic eq, so how do you mimic that? I've tried with multiple envelope followers (each one targeting a specific range of frequencies) but its a real mess because trackspacer uses 32 bands! please let me know how you do it! thank you!

@@rafaelmatosdasilva Track spacer is going to eliminate the same frequencies from the carrier track as the modulator track. this may not always be what you want. A common thing I'll do is also to duck the base of a base instrument where I want the highs of that instrument to a kick. I don't actually want to duck the highs of my base and that kick of mine might contain some on the transient impact or the Punch section. Track spacer is going to remove all the frequencies. In my opinion track spacer is a very useful but very precise tool and should not be overused. I think it's useful where you have a vocal and you're trying to cut away those exact frequencies out of another instrument transparently mostly to make the vocal more intelligible. As to the specific question you're basically talking about the inverse of vocoding.

Awesome! So glad to hear it was useful to you and that everything was clear 😊

I used it once in a really obscure VJing scenario where I had to send signals from Live to Resolume. Can't remember exactly what it was though 🤷‍♂️

Epic

Umm... yes 🤷‍♂️ I think there might be better ways to do feedback using Return Tracks though.

There is always going to be some degree of phase alteration when working on different frequency bands (and with a lot of other musical tools), but honestly its not going to make that much of a difference to the end result anyway, compared to the actual processing you're doing anyway, so my rule of thumb is that if it sounds good it probably is good. If you're audibly noticing issues that might be a different story, but phase changes are just a normal part of sound processing. Always be sure to check track-wide stereo issues with a phase correlation meter on your Master Track and if you're noticing problems there then its worth looking into, but beyond that I wouldn't worry about it.

You should be able to do this with the built in EQ on the sidechain.

😍❤😍

Make have a watch of the first few videos from kzfaq.info?search_query=ableton+live+sidechain+compression and recap the basics - there might be something you're missing.

@@ELPHNT probably yeah im missing something. thanks for replying!

Dunno. All a bit dodgy to me 🤷‍♂ Just glad its back up.

Sorry about that 😗
