Ableton Live: Creating a Track from Scratch

Description

Adam Pollard aka Multiplier brings you an in-depth video series all about creating a track from scratch with Ableton Live! Shown in version 10 but applicable to other versions and DAWs, see how to make a modern day track starting with just the kick drum, all the way to mastering and exporting the song for all the world to hear.

Adam welcomes you and begins with the all-mighty kick drum and includes workflow tips, tuning kicks, shaping its dynamics, and consolidating the part into a loop. Then follow along and see how to craft a complimentary bass sound and part using Ableton’s Wavetable virtual instrument.

Sound processing is then shown and you'll learn the fine art of sidechain compression, using a ‘Sub Oscillator’ to enhance the root note/fundamental of the bass sound, saturate with Overdrive to fill out the higher frequencies of content and much more.

Vocal One Shots and Lead Synths are next, and you'll see exactly how to create these instruments and get creative with them in the production and arrangement. Risers, and working on more parts and instruments are then shown in-detail, with tons of tips and tricks and helpful ideas for making a production that sounds modern and powerful.

Throughout the rest of the videos Adam covers build ups, variations, drops, sound effects, filter sweeps, how to fill out the mix, basic mixing and mastering ideas, how to properly export your song and more.

This is going fast. I like thatt except it uses things I dont have and had to go get. It would be awesome to have a discussion area where people could review the issues they faced and how they were resolved.

great learning curve - learnt a bundle to help me with my music production in Ableton..

Some good stuff here. I'm looking forward to trying the tricks dhown here. All the course is done using stock Ableton plug-ins which is a bonus and a relief.

I really appreciated the thorough explanation of so many different topics. It definitely opens up my mind to what the software is capable of and how to use it to create.

Fantastic!

Great to see a tutorial like this by Multiplier. Was happy to stumble across it. Provided many other ways of thinking about things, and in some cases, brand new insights. Highly recommend.
