How To Make Well-Polished, Key-Matched Studio Mixes in Ableton Live (Video)
Today's post is brought to you by my good friend Steve Gillson, who has put together this fantastic tutorial video where he shows how to easily put together a polished, well-mastered, beatmatched mix using Ableton Live. He also makes sure that the tracks are key-compatible by using the popular software Mixed In Key.
In less than 15 minutes, Steve will teach you how to make smooth studio mixes that sound great and flow nicely. This is not a super advanced tutorial, nor is it meant to be. It is intended to give you a quick-and-dirty run through, in an easy-to-understand way… and I think it does that quite nicely!
In This Video Tutorial, You'll Learn:
- How to beatmatch two tracks by “warping” in Ableton Live
- How to keep bass frequencies from overlapping and overwhelming your mix
- How to get a clean and loud sound from your end product
P.S. – In case you aren't familiar, here's a little bit of information on the Camelot Key Notation System.
