I've been producing electronic music professionally for over 25 years and this is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen on the production process and sound design that I've seen on KZfaq. Well done Metrik!

Theres only one issue with the video though. The Computer Music logo is in the way of revealing Ableton instruments settings / macros and kinda missing out on things like parameter values that aren't mentioned.

Can be confusing when someone mentions adjusting a specific harmonic i.e. Metrik mentions the first harmonic is after the fundamental.. but quick google search comes up with ... "The lowest frequency produced by any particular instrument is known as the fundamental frequency. The fundamental frequency is also called the first harmonic of the instrument.".. So when he mentions the first harmonic, it's actually the second.

@marioparra00 5 жыл бұрын

Dealing with latency due to lack of delay compensation in Ableton is a nightmare. Although Ableton does compensate, it does so up to a point and after that you have to figure out what plugins are generating latency and then try to manually compensate like he did in the video. It's even more complicated when you have multiple channels routed to a bus, and the bus has a midi-synced effect like LFO Tool. I wish Ableton implemented Pro Tool's way of reporting how much compensation is being applied and when does it exceed the maximum and by how much.

@ninecrowns7092 5 жыл бұрын

Agreed. In Reaper I can seemingly add as many latent plugins as I want before LFOTool without it ever crapping out. In Ableton I just use the compressor sidechain to avoid the headaches.

@tommertens7431 5 жыл бұрын

@@ninecrowns7092 Bitwig too, no delay compensation problems at all, not with midi from another track, not with latency within a track. FL Studio is worse than Ableton when it comes to delay compensation, though.

@ninecrowns7092 5 жыл бұрын

@@tommertens7431 Yeah, Bitwig does it really well. It's just weird how Ableton can't get it right when most of the music made with it is loop based where solid timing is key.
