Ableton 10 Kick & Bass Review

I've been eyeing up Allan's tutorials for a while now, i'm sure I could of learnt just as much from Logic tutorials but ideally wanted to see the techniques using the Ableton stock plugins. I have been practicing techniques without any help and real understanding on and off for a few years now, this can get you so far but as with anything having a professional like Allan to talk you through step by step in every process has been a game changer for me. My kick and bass are now sitting together perfectly more driving and fuller sounding. I give this tutorial 5 stars and am looking forward to learning more with AM Studios :)

Ableton 10 Kick & Bass Review

The latest tutorial , Ableton 10 - Trance Kick & Bass , is one of Allan's best kick & bass lessons to date. They all offer something a bit different , but this one is great for all around knowledge and gives a more detailed look into the process of putting the kick and basses together. This video is the culmination of his previous kick & bass tutorials rolled into one and all of the techniques shown do not just apply to Ableton users, but to any DAW. Everything is covered from choosing the sounds and samples , eqing, analyzing , adding FX & stabs , the use of LFO Tool and gain staging to get the sound you're after. This tutorial will give you a better understanding of how to make better decisions with your sounds and layering choices. There is also some sound advice on setting up certain things in your template ahead of time to help speed up your workflow. This lesson is a solid start to what I'm sure will be another great series from AM Studios.
