Along_the_Wire Good call, it has issues like all software, but it’s so capable. Can’t wait to hear what you come up with.

    Along_the_Wire Nice one, Grant. Welcome aboard. There’s enough Ableton meffs here to give you advice.

    Been using it ever since I hear Sasha do that Supatrigga thing on that Tierschurtz track when he still had a Graeme Gooch hair weave. Dunno if it’s the best DAW but have never considered moving to any other. Previously had used Reason and Cubase. And when I started using Ableton only then realised how horrific they were.

    Shame that you can’t use the Logic as a slave in Ableton as it has some very good tools.

    Anyway, enough about my plop production journey. Good luck!

      303abuser I’ve can’t get my Model D plug in to work with Ableton, which is very annoying. Does this download in the Model D and/or better?!

          Cankles-McJeggings Just off Phuket in Coconut Island. But if a tired resort, but food and booze are terrific and it’s so, so cheap I feel a little guilty.

            I sorted this, had to go into settings and turn on AUv3 for Ableton to see the plug-in. Who I knew?!

                303abuser I’m actually worried that the mastering engineer is going to send me a note asking me to tone some of it down

                Been told to do just that in a track I’m having mastered at the moment - balance across the track is a bit out in the version I sent out so been told to dial back the sub on a part to even it up a little.

                So you should be ok if it consistently rumbles all the way through : )

                    apyssjw In this case, it’s meant to push the limits of heavy. And in some cases, the bass has been saturated four times (hardware, instrument, buss, master) and compressed a couple of times to keep it somewhat in control. As long as there’s enough headroom, it should be ok. I hope lol.

                        Morty-C-137 Yeah lots of ways to fix it if needed. I’m sure it’s ok, just doubting myself because that’s what I do. I almost feel out of practice with mixing and it’s different when collaborating because I haven’t controlled it all from the start.

                            8 days later

                            303abuser I’ve got a 3 track ep out next week too, I’ll share that here when it’s ou

                            Popped up in my release radar. Distant machines my fav of the three.

                                New ep is out today. Links for bandcamp and spotify, but it’s available everywhere.
