Ultimate Guide to Ableton Live Audio Effects
What are audio effects? Ranging from subtle mixing tools to extreme sound manglers, effects are used in every part of the music production process. A delay may be an integral part of a synthesizer sound, a distortion unit may be used to give a snare drum some extra bite, and equalizers and compressors may find their way onto nearly every track in a song during the final mixdown. In this course, we'll look at all of Live's effects, giving some tips as to how each might be used along the way.

The Ultimate Guide to Mixing
This is a guide to the essential ideas of audio mixing, targeted specifically for computer-based producers. The internet has an incredible wealth of information on this subject, but it is scattered across a disorganized body of articles and tutorials. Our goal with this course is to consolidate of of the most important information in one place. This guide will not tell you about mixing techniques on how to track vocals or what frequency to boost to make your drums really knock. On the other hand, this does not assume that you are making club-oriented dance music. Certainly the advice in here is applicable to mixing electro house or hip-hop, but it is equally applicable to mixing ambient. But it is worth mentioning that dance music as a whole does pose special mixing challenges, such as the tuning of percussion tracks and the achievement of loudness, and these challenges are given adequate time, since they are relevant to many students. This course assumes that students have a very basic prior knowledge of the concepts of mixing. You should know the way around your DAW. You should know what a mixer is, and what an effect is, and how to use them. You should have at least heard of the terms compression, equalization, and reverb. You should have done some mixdowns yourself, so you know how the whole process works. But that's really all you need to know at this point.

BVKER Basic Chord Rack
The chord rack is meant for producers who are new to music theory. Placing it on a MIDI track it will automatically create a fitting triad, based on the key you’ve selected. Additionally you can enable the octave function via macro 3. Since the rack doesn’t cover inversion I’d recommend resampling the MIDI. Afterwards you can try to transpose single notes of each chord an octave up or down. Base shifts the origin of the scale (default is C) Minor/Major switches the minor scale to a major scale. Octave adds an octave of the fundamental tone.

BVKER Mastering Rack
When your mixdown is perfect you usually don’t need much processing on the master. However, there are some effects that can help to “glue” all individual tracks together and give you track that final touch. My general recommendation: less is more! If you’re making big changes on your master channel you should probably go back to the mixing stage! This is what the macros from my Ableton mastering rack do: Bass Mono sets a crossover frequency. Everything below will be mono (50 – 200 Hz). Glue decreases the threshold of Ableton’s Glue Compressor (0 – -30 dB). Shine is a high-shelf filter you can use to boost the side signal (0 – 6 dB). Freq controls the high-shelf filter’s frequency (4 – 22 kHz). Clean Up reduces low midrange frequencies (0 – -5dB). Focus adjusts the exact frequency for “Clean Up” (200 – 500 Hz). Gain increases the input gain of Ableton’s limiter (-24 – 24 dB). Release adjusts the release time of Ableton’s Limiter (0.01ms – 3s). I’d highly recommend to pick another limiter like the one from Ozone 9 if you really want to achieve a professional master. However, if you just want to render a quick demo or a rough mix Ableton’s Limiter will probably be good enough.

BVKER Vocal Rack
Mixing vocals is extremely complex and a single free Ableton Rack will never be able to make any vocal sound perfect. However, if you’re new to mixing or just want to enhance a rough demo this Ableton Live rack might be something for you. High Pass controls the frequency of a high-pass filter (80 – 250 Hz). Air boosts the top end with a high-shelf filter (0 – 15 dB). Clean Up cuts muddy frequencies in the low mids (0 – -8dB). Focus controls the exact frequency of the “Clean Up” cut (200 – 800 Hz). De-Ess decreases the threshold of the de-esser (0 – -40dB). Reverb is a simple dry/wet control to add space (0 – 50%). Delay is also a dry/wet knob for the delay (0 – 40%).

BVKER 1 Knob Wash Out
My 1 Knob Wash Out is actually inspired by the famous Bass Kleph Easy Washout. It one has one macro (Wash Out!), which is meant to be automated. You can slap it on your master, groups or individual tracks to create huge build ups and transitions. “Wash Out!” controls a total of 6 parameters: High-pass frequency (26 – 932 Hz) High-pass resonance (0 – 30%) Echo dry/wet (0 – 40%) Reverb dry/wet (0 – 60 %) Stereo Width (100 – 80%) Gain (0 – 5db)
