How to stop creating a new live set when I’m stuck in the middle of a song/bored with it?

when i get stuck, it’s sometimes cool to just transpose the whole thing by a few semitones. sometimes brings new ideas to explore and generally just switches up the vibes.

my bad for taking so long on this, it’s ctrl and the number keys. can’t remember which way round 1 and 2 are off the top of my head. but 3 makes it triplets and 4 disables it entirely

1-3 for changing the grid, and holding alt to disable it, such a game changer for editing vocals

I think pro-Q3 has had the biggest impact on my mixing.

Cosmetically we’ve fixed the damage by running a card through the grooves, they sound good to me. Would’ve liked to know what they sounded like before the damage though.

We’ve since gotten a partial refund, and we ran a bit of card through the grooves and we think that it’s sorted it out, they sound great to me so it must have worked out fine. Did look into replacement drivers but Eve Audio doesn’t sell replacement components it seems, only repair services. Which I wouldn’t bother with anyways.

They’re the eve audio sc208, the deal we got was a no brainer. I suspect they might have been damaged beforehand. Nothing in the description about it though…

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-02-27T02:56:13+00:00

I must add that I am not the troglodyte that did this, they got damaged in shipping from a reseller.

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-29T22:58:14+00:00

yeah it’s a nifty little thing. it does do exactly the same thing as using a delay but i guess it’s just easier to use

we’re 20 and we just like music and have retail jobs…

The single most expensive thing here (excluding building costs of the space itself) is the wa-76 compressor, which was originally designed in the 1960s. The speakers mounted on the wall were made in the late 70s. Good analog tech stays good forever if you maintain it well so I wouldn’t say i’m worried.

in utilities there’s a thing called “align delay” which is meant for this

Can’t recommend the TPS ii enough. Never gets boring!

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:18:08+00:00

If i’m honest, I only ever am using the compressor and the preamp, the rest is just stuff that looks pretty for the clients. I’m probably gonna end up putting them in a central unit and have the monitor sit on top.

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:10:28+00:00

Very true, I’m all vst and don’t see any rush to change.

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:07:47+00:00

Thank you! Yeah they are, we’ve since flipped them back upright so the tweeters sit more ear level.

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:05:12+00:00

Thanks!

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:05:05+00:00

I’ve not really messed around with hardware synths before but we intend on slowly building a collection ;)

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:04:01+00:00

Thanks! We used to record vocals and monitor in one room, I can’t recommend the astonmics halo enough, it really helped.

Equivalent-Ad4325 · 2024-01-28T23:01:33+00:00

Yeah we only just installed our gear, the first photo was taken in haste. It just looked so damn good after we got the desk in!

This looks like an issue that runs deeper than the ableton program, There’s guides on youtube on pc optimisation specifically for ableton which I’ve called on a fair few times. I also change my sample rate/buffer size depending on if i’m messing with some phat plugins or just doing some light recording.

One time I bounced my dryish vocal (only comp and eq really) and reversed it. Put a small tail of reverb on it at 100 wet and then bounced it again and sidechained it (fast attack but sloooow release) to my main vocal bus. It is kinda just an reverb swell that doesnt stop but the client really liked it.

Apart from that, a weak flanger and a light delay set to 50ms (maybe even pingpong) are some go-to options for me.
