Lesson 011: Behind my back

I finally found a screen recorder for PC that works the way I want it to, so now I can record tutorials on my main DAW. So to try it out, I've decided to show my productional flaws by letting you in on the whole arrangement and the parts of my new single Airbase - Back.

Presented in 720p using Ableton Live 8. Best viewed in HD.

-Your kick is just a straight sample with no compression or eq on it (I always thought this was a must!)

-All your compressors have the same settings, which happen to be the default settings (I have spent ages tweaking the att/rel/knee settings etc to not much avail)

-You only use insert reverbs, once again with the default settings (I always thought we were meant to use sends for reverbs)

You made me realise that no matter how simple, if it sounds good it works!

tack sa mycket!

@zetaborealis I must have gotten lazy :) On the other hand, you're quite right, if it sounds good it sounds good.

Just a question, I see that you use z3ta+. What I am wondering about is how you got it to work on a mac. The versions that I see for sale only work on windows.

[AirbaseOfficial]

See info on the right. All previous videos are recorded on Mac, but not this one.

Jesper, I salute you. Everytime i watch one of your videos, it gives me the inspiration to go make a track INSTANTLY, and everytime i make a track after watching ione of your videos I make a belter!! I guess thats why you make these videos, to keep producers evolving and getting better, well man, your definately helping me, i use your ideas and techniques, and make my own music with them, never copying your work, but the Airbase sound is definatly in there!

Ableton live and Airbase FTW!!!!!

[MetropolisR]

yes the mix arrangement looks so crisp and clean, how about a tutorial example track from start to finish, that would be wicked!!

[C4pitalise]

What's the name of that bass centering plug in? Could really do with something like that

[TheSparkover]

So you use vengeance too?

Lol,EVERYONE USES VENGEANCE :D

[khizobtata]

nice video!! But please would you tell me what's the name of the software ?

[djrindtj24]

Thank you for this video. I have always wanted a straight up explanation of a track like it. It helps me a lot.

[TAS1337]

is this airbase?

[CVicccen]

When listening to the track there are pads from 3:58 but when I look at the arrangement here I only see sidechained strings?
