This Is Why Stock Ableton Plugins Are BETTER!

what if one day you will wake up and say what a great day to delete all of my plugins despite of a project you lost money you burned or the time you spend on acquiring those you're basically good to go really since Ableton stock devices are the goat the goat let's just start with everyone's favorite mixing kick and Basse if so is too big of an investment and you never heard a fuser shame all you got to do is to place envelope follower on your kick now obviously you will need to find clashing frequencies on your own but it is as simple as just making your spectrum a little bit bigger and I already can see that my kick is peing at 74 Hertz and that will probably the frequency I want to cut from my base so let's just prepare the band at around 74 HZ on our base Channel and then go to envelope follower once again press this m button then go go to the EQ on your base Channel and press this gain knob it's already doing something but it's actually doing nothing we need to turn off the modulation here all you need to do is to ask envelope follower to modulate from 50% which is going to be the flatline on your EQ and then go to zero which is basically going to cut the frequencies and as you can see now that's what I was looking for as you your EQ settings you can viously change the Q factor and the bandwidth of this whole coding frequency thing change parameters here as well if you don't want to cut that much if it's still too much work for you then okay just use regular sing compression and lose all of your lowend but that's a topic for a different video speaking of not losing lowend though is time for the almighty rbase or basically any sub enhancer plugin that tries to take its CR put down your mom's credit card cart since we have our base at home you can find it by going into search bar and typing sub boom it's too much so just play with drywood knob a little and don't forget to tune into the key of your song which in my case is going to be G Shar cool thing is that you can really control the tone like adjusting the brightness going even a little bit lower than you probably expect or finally adjusting the decay of the effect I'll actually keep it a little bit shorter than the preset [Music] suggests now if you ever lost an online argument with app Studio user I got good news for you we have our own soft Clipper you know what I will save this one for later but don't try to skip the video as you down there click the Subscribe button if you haven't done it already if you know know how every compressor in your library sounds then I don't believe you but the fact is that you only need the basic one and the glue compressor first one is pretty self-explanatory but for the second one I especially like the snappiness of it when it comes to parallel compression quick lesson on Parallel compression don't just be like me and slam threshold to the max spraying for good you can actually have full control over your compressor and how your drums will sound after by just playing with ATT tack knob as you can see once I dial in a little bit to the slower side more transient will come but if I will slam it and just choose the shorter attack times transients are basically gone think I don't need to say that much about legendary Ott but I have one major problem with it guys please tell me why do you use Ott plugin by expert records enablon why it's literally made for other Daws to use use the stock Ableton preset called OT so what's the point of using the plugin now this one is also exclusive for life especially life 12 but since it's around the corner I think it is safe to say about roar roar roar roar it's going to be the next big thing for some design and I only grateful those who can spend 130 bucks on something more useful than another another saturation plug-in so basically you get this many shaper to choose and some of them sound really unique I really like this fract [Music] one and just like with Saturn you can turn it into multiband you have your lows your mid bands and high band you can use different Shapers for each band so I'm just trying my look so let's use fractal here once again then for the midband style clipper why not and for the L just use a Classic Soft [Music] sign a thing that I don't like about it is that it actually leaves you with only those two crossover points I would love to see something more flexible here but just remember if you're feeling narly you can actually modulate everything in ra there you have mod sources which is basically two lfos an envelope follower and the noise modulator all I got to do is to go to Matrix let's turn the raate down and turn the shaper to something more [Music] noticeable okay now I think you guys are ready to talk about the Clipper you can get the first one with saturator and all you got to do is to press the soft clip on then drive the saturator and obviously gain much The Adjustment and as you can see my kick is pecking atus 6 slightly then once I engage the saturator Clipper saturator I can drive it even more and judging by the shape of your sound you actually just made a Clipper but sometimes using saturator for that leans more towards to the saturator part of it so that's why the alternative is to use a glue compressor we don't want to compress anything so turn the range down so compression basically off in this case then press the soft clip button and now you can use utility tool to drive the glue compressor or just use the makeup gain on your compressor and then use utility tool to gain much I will just go with the first route as you can see by this indicator clipping is already happening and now let's turn it on and off but watch how the transient is changing stock reverbs usually sound like playing the best Melody of your life on your phone in your bathroom think you get the idea since you probably watch this video there right now ain't going to judge if you really like the sound you can use it as impulse response in hybrid Reverb and you know what you can actually use any wave file as input response in hybrid Reverb let's just for example try this snare here turn the blend to only hear the convolution part of hybrid Reverb you can also change the pitch of your Reverb tail here I know it says size but that's not my idea and we actually made something decent now let's mix in the algorithmic part of hybrid Reverb in my opinion you can get better and definitely more Unique Sounds than Valhalla which basically is used by everyone and their mother there's also a stock convolution Reverb but it's Max for Life device and those deserve another video you know what to do to make this one happen you know what with a cool Reverb like that it will be even better to make some Automation and Reverb trolls so let's just try this one here then maybe adjust it a little and copy the thing here and for this one I would like to make something like that but then adjust it here I bet that people have no idea you can do this stuff with automations in Ableton life not that I will have a video about it or [Music] something
