One Thing w/ @Ableton - try thinking of your drums like a chord triad. Tune snares a fifth up from the kick, and experiment with tuning the kick a 3rd or 5th above the tonic if the key is low like C. What are your favorite methods for tuning? 🔧 🎹 #mpquicktips #studio #ableton Chop wood, carry water. Stay focused on the mundane everyday tasks to improve your craft. The creative process is not a series of eureka moments but a long journey built through small tasks and sweat equity. Put the work in and you’ll reap the rewards. It’s not going to be goosebumps and flow for the entire process so embrace the grind and be gritty 💪 #studio #motivation #mpquicktips Don’t chip away or tinker. Dive in fully and execute quickly. Results only come from total immersion - Give your best sustained effort for large chunks of time. Eat, sleep, and breathe your craft and only focus on one key project per day. Tinkering will never reach a critical creative mass 💪 #studio #motivation #mpquicktips Use MIDI notes to sync your sidechain timing. This is the only reliable way to stay in time in Ableton because delay compensation still doesn’t work properly! I wish I’d known about this earlier. Create a trigger rack sending to an external instrument -> send MIDI to the bus w/ the sidechain plugin, and select the plugin. — Make sure to send this to a friend and save them some stress 💪👌 Dial in the high pass filter on your compressor’s sidechain detection for bigger punchier drums. Start at 300 Hz and see the impact. Use it on the mix bus compressor, individual busses, and individual tracks. Especially useful with parallel compression. I overlooked this for years! The Distressor is set for 100 Hz, while others are variable up to 500 Hz. Loop is @weareoliver - Questions? Comment below 🙌 When preparing stems use a tonal metronome to mark the beginning and provide a key reference. This makes it easier for remixers to get the timing right - especially for vocals that don't start on the 1 🔑 I use a one bar count in and two different octaves of bleeps #mpquicktips #studio #preparation #stems #vocals
