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

http://www.pointblankonline.net/mixing-dance-music-course---ableton.php In this video, Danny J Lewis (Defected, Enzyme Black) demonstrates how to use compression to give this synth sound a better presence in the mix and delicately balance the levels. Although the effects are very subtle, it is this attention to detail which can take a good sounding track to a great sounding track!

This is the third in the series of exclusive tutorials taken from the Mixing Dance Music in Ableton course (http://www.pointblankonline.net/mixing-dance-music-course---ableton.php)

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 :)

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

@BERLINapparell you need to focus on the sound. im using shit earphones and i can hear the difference.

@BERLINapparell

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

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

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