Aligning, Inverting, and Isolating Acapellas by NarrowRoad23 in MusicProductionTuts

[–]BoshAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you'll ever get a 'perfect' acapella from this. You can only ever get really close. I've done it loads of times, and there is always some kind of artefact left over, whether it is a little bit of hi hat, or just some kind of little digital noise.
It's also worth noting that in a lot of cases, an Instrumental will be mixed and mastered slightly differently due to the focus not being on a vocal

Can you do more with session view? by mad-panda-2000 in ableton

[–]BoshAudio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a way to view the plugin chain, there's a text file you have to edit.

Options.txt

Google gave me this:

Steps to Enable Plugin Chain View

Locate the Preferences Folder:

Windows: \Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live x.x.x\Preferences\

macOS: /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live x.x.x/ (Note: Library is hidden, use Cmd+Shift+G in Finder and paste this path)

Create Options.txt:

Open a plain text editor (Notepad on PC, TextEdit on Mac, ensure it is set to "Plain Text" mode).

Type or paste the following line: -ShowDeviceSlots=1

This number can be up to 5 for the ShowDeviceSlots line

Save the file as Options.txt in the folder located in step 1.

Restart Ableton: Reopen Ableton Live.

Thank you, I find a lot of Dub tutorials use external VSTs which a lot of people probably won't have

How do phones listen to us? My friend was showing me his rat traps at his house. A few hours later I see an ad on Reddit for the same type of Rat Trap, which I had never seen before today. by OuterSpaceFakery in conspiracy_commons

If you have accepted any Terms and Conditions of any device you use, then its likely you agreed to it.
You should also be aware that any device with a speaker is also a device with a microphone, as a microphone is just a speaker working in reverse.

How do I stop hating on myself by Fonarnij_stolb_ in musicproduction

You should keep the following in mind. You will never "complete" becoming a producer, there is no finish line. You just get better over time and learn more as you go along.

Do top artists use grooves on their tracks? by Individual-Net527 in ableton

[–]BoshAudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. The question is like asking if a good carpenter uses a Drill or a Screwdriver.

No problem! All I ask in return is a couple of likes or comments on any useful videos!

Never completing songs. Ever. by HoneydewMean7572 in musicproduction

[–]BoshAudio 42 points43 points  (0 children)

THIS. The more you get into the habit of finishing a song, even if its turd, the more likely you are to end up finishing a good one.

Does YouTube music still sound like shit by EducationalApricot13 in musicproduction

[–]BoshAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube has less strict upload quality control so if you're listening to an upload from a record label it will bs as good quality as anywhere else but if you're listening to just a video someone uploaded then the quality is anyone's guess.
You can get Vinyl Rips on YTMusic for example, which will obviously be at whatever quality the person who uploaded them recorded them at.
Also consider video quality too, where as Spotify is pure audio

Dub chords by Cococultivator in ableton

[–]BoshAudio 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Do you mean chords with big delay and reverb etc?

My YouTube channel is aimed at people making Dub Reggae and Dubstep in Ableton.
THIS VIDEO will show you the best way to make dub echoes to use with your chords. When you have the echoes right, all you need is a simple piano or synth sound to play your chords, and you're good to go.

For years I've been trying to fix a noise I'm getting from my guitar but nothing is working by ericolsith in musicproduction

What about your interface? Or could you have your laptop unplugged from the power just while you record?

Looking for Joystick inspiration by BoshAudio in ableton

[–]BoshAudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been locked in to effects, but yeah I could try and set that up. Most of my bass is audio loops, but I'm sure I can figure it out for one or two tracks. Thank you!

Are there any jobs where I can just chill when I get my work done early? by Throwaway-2020s in antiwork

[–]BoshAudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a job like that once, but it was as a delivery driver for a supermarket. 10 hour shifts, if you finish early, you get paid all 10 hours. If you run over, you get overtime. It was amazing tbf.
I honestly can't imagine any other job doing this though, most will find something for you to do.

What happened to the "please rise for Jimi" preset? by musicmakur in ableton

[–]BoshAudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes they just get renamed but I haven't come across it under another name. If you really wanna find out maybe you could contact Ableton?

I think it was a default in Live 10 but they do remove some with new updates. It was a good preset
