Ableton Tutorial - Synth Compression (Mixing Dance Music pt 3)

[Style07sk]

Learning a lot from your videos. Straight to the point, using native plug-ins, quality sound. I would kill for a Point Blank school in Portugal.

Keep it up mates! Cheers :)

@Style07sk Thanks! If you can't make it to London you can study with us online.

Ableton looks interesting. Good tutorial. I have learned a lot from your Cubase lessons.

The riff he's using is from Wolfgang Gartner's - Yang.

what means rms and the peak?

[W4RW017]

@nelsonthekinger Its different kinds of volume-measurement. RMS means root mean square, and in in audio-terms basicly means "overall volume", so the compressor isn't looking for peaks but waiting for the overall volume to pass over the threshold. Peak is just whenever the signal is loud enough to pass the threshold it triggers the compressor.

Interesting video ! But where do you get those wave forms ? Like "Analog Square" which is loaded up in Simpler ? Thanks !

[pointblankonline]

@SuperbitOfficial they are downloadable for students enrolled on the course.

[SignalRecon]

@SuperbitOfficial If you have Ableton Suite just look through the components section in the side menus you'll find a ton of interesting stuff.

the effect from the compressor is nearly not audible for me... and i often ask me what is the sense of this effect ??

@BERLINapparell

you should get a pair of good speakers then .. Though I think you have already figured it out for 8 months ;)

[AlenMilivojevic]

great video!! :)

[ChrisRimbyLive]

have you guys ever considered offering access to the videos without the one-on-one training? 

[pointblankonline]

@ChrisRimbyLive Hi Chris, in short no. The reason being is that the 1-2-1 training is what sets us apart from other online schools and tutorial sites. The feedback we have got from students suggests it is this feedback on their own projects from a pro producer that really boosts their confidence and takes their skills to a level that otherwise wouldn't have been attainable over the period of the course. Therefore we consider this a crucial aspect of the courses.

All the best,

Nick

@pointblankonline Thanks for the reply. I've already taken a course from another online educational service, so I've had sufficient one-on-one training. I was hoping I could just watch your videos to get someone else's take on mixing. No big deal though. Thanks again.

what's the difference between Peak, RMS and Opto modes?

[pointblankonline]

@pogodoodporny Hi there, On the full course (Mixing Dance Music in Ableton) we go into far more depth on the subject of compression including explanations of those different modes. You can also ask thes types of specific questions to your tutor in the private forums and on your weekly assignment submissions. Follow the link in the description for more info on the course and how to enrol.

Nice one!
