J. Anthony Allen covers mixing, mastering, and DJing in Ableton Live 11, with a guest engineer sharing professional tricks. Learn to prep tracks for Spotify and Bandcamp, use the Akai APC40 and Ableton Push 2 controllers, and shape sound with parallel processing through audio effects racks.
Sa. Hey, everyone.
Welcome to Ableton Live 11. In this class, we're going to cover all aspects of Ableton Live, from just learning the program to recording, to producing, to DJing. Mixing, mastering. Everything is going to be included in this huge, huge multi part class. So if you're brand new to the program, this is the best place to start. If you're already familiar with another audio program, all of these classes will get you up to speed on using live
to do professional music production in no time.
This is part six. In part six, we're going to talk about mixing, mastering and DJing. So we're going to show how to take tracks we've already made and convert them to a live performance setting so that we can use those tracks to DJ or do whatever we want. We're also going to focus on mixing and mastering. For that, I'm going to call in one of my colleagues who's a professional mixing and mastering engineer, and he'll show us how he uses Ableton live 11, some of his top tricks for mixing and mastering. By the end of this class, you'll have completed tracks ready to send out to Spotify, Bandcamp, whatever you want to do. Everything will be 100% done and ready for streaming.

It's really built for Ableton. Okay, so let's talk about the Ableton Push 2 controller. So I have here an Ableton Push 2.
And the biggest thing that you'll notice
about the Push 2 is that it knows a lot about what I want
to play drums, and on the second
tune, I want to play piano, all using the same keyboard. Okay, that's actually easy enough. We don't need to make a separate track and then switch between them. Live. What we're going to do is we're going to take this. Okay, so the real power behind audio effects racks comes from something called parallel processing. And here's what that means. That means that when we do. It.
