I Tried Using Ableton Stock Synths ONLY

It took me 10 years of using Ableton Live to finally change my mind about stock synths... Yes I used them close to 0 times in my sessions but in this video I found out why and how to solve that.

If YT had a top 5 of ‘who helps you level up learning Ableton’ you’re in my top. Thanks for the 3XS rack.

You are killing it!
This (together with seed to stage) is the best music production content about ableton live.

i always try to watch a new video of yours whenever i see it on my home feed.
most of time i end up absolutely loving them. they really make me feel inspired afterwards because you somehow always seem to show something cool.

i genuinely hope you'll keep managing to make them! all the best!

Great sponsor choice 🤩 and video again - being inspired after 20 yrs of operator is a welcome surprise 🙏🏼

Man I just found you now! and got Ableton 2.1 yesterday.... perfect timing!!!! You are Ableton-BOSS!

Ableton should allow for custom skins, knobs, sliders etc on its stock instruments and have them pop-up as a separate window like VSTs do. Ableton's stock instruments serve a specific Ableton design philosophy. That's great. But instruments can be aesthetically pleasing, or made ergonomically more useful outside of that scope.

Between MTM and your channel, I've learned a lot. Signing up for your patreon once its live for sure!

[AeldraNightwood]

I don't understand why Ableton hasn't sponsored you yet. You're doing such a good job showing how good their software is out of the box.

Well, in the end, buying Serum is still less expensive than buying the Live "SUITE" version to get these synths :D since literally none of these three is in the standard version of Live xD

[nakiradams]

My conclusion is to get ideas from third-party VSTs and if possible recreate them with the stock VSTs that come with Ableton.

Thanks man...really appreciate your drops. One thing that would be helpful would be noting what level of Ableton you need for each of your packs. Thx

Presets in ableton sound « brut » because most of them have no FX, of course, they are in the daw. I use only native tools for stability, CPU, OS upgrade, and to Switch easely between computers. Also, pay 600€ a licence for a suite and use Vst, mmmhh, maybe it’ s better to use Reaper for that.

Awesome vid! What's your opinion on Analog? I think it has some pretty great filters

[FuranGameplays]

Wave table is useful for dubstep and complextro sounds. The thing is that serum has a more idk mojo sound imo

[Nug_Lord]

Stock synths also save you cpu processing

[marcorecupero]

Operator best native instrument of all Time

[foljs]

"Why we all chose VSTs instead" - who is "we"? Many people love Live's FM (Operator) and Wavetable (err, Wavetable) synths. And the recent Meld and Drift are fine too

[KimonoEtrange]

The mouse is your best friend... Not really 😅

[CStoph]

Should have made a song or something...not sure of point...what did you try using the stock synths for?

[CStoph]

I need more lessons on how to increase the wetness with my knob.
Thx!
