This is how explanation video should be. Amazing work, Becky! Thanx from Ukraine!

[cscpmc]

This tutorial is a GAME CHANGER. So well explained, thank you so much!

[TheBinaryWolf]

Well done, Becky! Almost all tutors skip steps, leaving the student frustrated. You attend to detail with delightful clarity. Perhaps you will share your expertise on mixing tracks; since the presenters in all the videos I have watched ramble on endlessly, promising info about setting levels but then offering no useful info.

I set the peak amplitude of the lead voice to -6dB then adjust the accompanying tracks, one by one during playback. The 32-bit float option protects against clipping when mixed down to stereo. In mastering, the final headroom is 0.10dB. Most of the accompaniment tracks are about -9dB or lower. But after that, I find myself adding compression or using a limiter to feature fills, etc. But what a labor that is. No doubt you have a more expedient method.

Thank you for just explaining simply without flashy cuts or background music this was very good for my one track brain

This was the perfect video on a perfect day. I was so confused why my recorded automation wasn't visible, and it was, of course, in clip view! I count myself lucky to follow your videos!

[mdjones]

This is very complete and clear. Thank you very much!

I never knew almost all of those shortcuts, very glad you managed to make this, much love from leeds.

Very useful info! Automation is so easy in Ableton Live. Something I've learned about making electronic music that feels organic and alive is: automate, automate, automate.

[Pilgrim-Of-Light]

Thank you, Becky! This was very helpful for me. Especially where you covered the Linked and Unlinked loop features. Often time finishing a song comes down to how efficient I am. So thank you for showing me how to be more efficient. Thank you for your time! Happy New Year. Get well soon. LIKED
