Super annoying right?! I wish Ableton would add that sidechain option to VST3 devices.

THANK YOU

Found this after I found out SPAN plus (also free) has import and export features which accomplish the same. 😅

Hi! I tried installing Span as Vst by only downloading this option when installing but it did not show at all on Live. Any tips on how to make the sidechain option work ? thanks update!* I fixed by saving the installed span folders on the same folder where Live is looking for vsts and problem solved!

@@fabianadastra it's work?

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

absolutely agree with you

Awesome mate

All explained here bro kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpyjoJSqrL3YhJ8.html

Glad it was helpful!

No problem 👍

Thanks mate ✌️

Nice one ✌️

You're welcome bro ✌️

Will have a think about how I can incorporate some of this into a video.

Hey, thanks Jasmine 👏

Good question bro. I just use a limiter to bring up the loudness to a comparative level. My actual mastering chain would have more, but if I'm just loudness matching for comparison I do it quickly using only a limiter

Mine is the free version

It can be tricky, as some of these stereo effects sound so nice but really screw up your phase correlation. Stereo Savage is particularly bad in this regard. But, in the end my approach tends to be more practical than theoretical (which is how I like to produce). I hit the mono button on my interface and if it still sounds good amd I can hear everything then it works for me.

Buy them from Beatport, Traxsource, Bandcamp, etc. Support the artists who's work you admire. WAV or AIFF is better.

Nice one 👍

jup its best

Put Sonarworks last and you will be fine. I do it this way as a sonarworks user.

It's based on a music theory called the circle of fifths. This version is from Mixed In Key and is called the Camelot Wheel.

I would recommend using a loudness meter to determine that. There is a descent free one from Youlean Audio

@@dilbydj gotcha 👌

See my other comment

That volume fader is after the track contents. To do what you are trying to do you should lower the clip gain of the audio file or put a utility before the loudness meter. But, why would you want to do that? What are you trying to compare there?

@@dilbydj thanks for getting back! I'm trying to match the volume of the reference track by ear and visually confirming with youlean to my track. My confusion is why the volume fader is brought down -2db for the reference if it has no affect on Youlean loudness meter? Seems like lowers volume for my ears, but then creates a misrepresentation in youlean because the -2b reduction is not registered. Sorry mate I'm sure this is simple and I'm missing something.

It sounds like you are using Span Plus in demo mode.

​@@dilbydj No one friend of mine has bought it. But the reason of reduction is that I used it for balancing a full mastered song from vinyl!, it doesn't shut up the volume for second. Just in some parts of the song it's some reduction of volume. Maybe all these plugins are not for vinyl restoration, some friends who are musicians this have told me. They are for separate stems kick, bass, vocals, guitar etc. They have told me that by using these plugins, many basic frequencies are removed, even when de-crackling the vinyls in a soft way.

But span is just a spectrum analyser. It doesn't do anything to the sound.

@@dilbydj ok thanks!thought by putting a reference track changes something

I noticed the same when using the vst3 version - but with the vst2 the sidechain option is there.

@@edhood Thanks.

It's not available in older versions of Ableton. Could be your using an older version. Or make sure to use the vst2 version of Span

@@dilbydj Had the same problem - definitely have to use the VST2 version for sidechain options to appear! Thanks man!

@@aethamusic Do you have a link maybe where I can find the VST2 Version for mac? ....I everywhere just find the VST or the VST3

İf we turn up db master channel our then if we dont make mix about like kick bass mix then that mad frequancys are they gives damage for the wrong lufs ?

Hey mate, I am really struggling to understand your question. But in vey simple terms, peak volume is the volume of the loudest point of the track. If ignores dynamics and only tells you the value of the highest peak. LUFS is measuring the loudness of the track over time, a less dynamic track with a high peak volume will have a lower LUFS which means it is louder. True Peak is used to explain something that happens during audio conversion (especially when encoding mp3s) where the output of the file goes above 0db even though the peak of the source file was not louder than 0db. The increase is a byproduct of the conversion process. I know this, but I may not be explaining it in the most articulate way. I would suggest you try to find something that explains it in your native language. It may be much easier to get an understanding.

@@dilbydj Yes ı know them your all say it :) As ı turkish then its really hard a find deep nice things. actually my english not enough for explain my counfused mind. so ı tryed then thanks a lot your feedback. :)

also ı get everything now :) ı've just watched your diffrend video 3 AMAZING MIXING HACKS for faster and easier mixdowns! then in the span your reference track show more lows and you said then when ı make mixing and balance with kick and bass wiht eq's comp's or something then my low side gonna be match. so ı understand everything now :) so what i mean. i tried asking that problem

Nope, I can't mate

@@dilbydj No worries. I asked Aleksy from voxengo for advice and he says its not even possible without the paid version? Not sure about that whether they took the feature away- i have version 3 (free version) and dont see the same options as you in the video when routing.

@@juna8796 no idea mate. I have the free version. Would be kind of dumb if they made if worse on and update 😂. I don't use Logic and never have so I can't offer any advice on it .

@@dilbydj No sweat mate, thanks for the reply. I managed to figure out a work around :)

I show you in the video

@@dilbydj yes it's different for reason studios you have to route the reference track into the back of the plug in but thanks

@@neovincibeats Ah, ok. I hope you figure it out. I have no idea. FYI, It would have been much clearer what you wanted to know if you mentioned Reason Studio in your question.

I really don't understand what you're asking mate.
