It's crazy how many things Ableton can do. I've been using it and actively learning more and more for a year and there's still so much to learn.

I love these videos. I just wanted to point out (in case it wasn't clear) that when you set that modulation to only go down to 50%, you mentioned that setting the value to 75% would make the modulation bottom out at 25%, but I think it would bottom out at half of 75%, or 37.5%.

I knew this was there, but never understood how it was related to automation, and why both existed!

[ShoShoUK]

As soon as I reached 2:30, I went MY How have I been using Ableton this long and never thought to investigate this button. Equal parts embarrassed and excited now!

[HotraOfficial]

Holy hell! Yes I didn't even know that existed for such a loooong time. Thank you!

[StuartwasDrinkell]

Youre the best dude! 👍👍👍👍you explain stuff so well.

[hgaubaul]

I don't use Ableton, but this is the best explanation I've found on YT on how these 2 things differ.

Give a man a fish - feed him for 2hrs. Teach him the principles of fishing - he can feed himself!

Thanks for this tutorial, didn‘t understand the difference between automation and modulation until now. 👍🏻

[christianpaga]

Why on earth would you wanna give this awesome video a thumbs-down thingy?!

[picas]

Yup, no idea that existed until now. Thanks!

[PeachwoodMusic]

What the actual fuck I've been living and breathing Ableton for 6 years, and I've never heard of this so useful

[MRSKI]

I have to stop watching your videos at 11 at night lol now I'm gonna be at my workstation till like 3am haha this was awesome

[katelyn]

I was just watching a stream yesterday where someone used modulation but I didn't catch what they actually did, funny that this popped up today! Super helpful, thank you (:

[jksynth]

This is eye opening, thank you. Best tutorial channel on YouTube!

[kawazzss]

Pure Gold brother. Def subscribed and maybe in the future also to one of your courses

[amado]

You never cease to amaze me Seed To Stage - sweet !

[jacobgosper]

Awesome tutorial man, thanks so much. I also really love messing around with unlinked loops for automation/modulation, can reach next level amounts of weird and complicated patterns.

[Jonas_Mikkelsen]

That's so awesome. I didn't know about this, and it existed side by side with automation. I had seen the blue curves before, but I thought it was just for MIDI CC

[FieryFalls]

This is so dope! Everytime you post a new video I learn something new! Thank you for your wisdom wise one :)
