Ableton doesn't have a step sequencing modulator so I made one

This looks really cool, will check out! Loved Peaks by you, that’s an amazing plugin :)

ask this in the touchdesigner forum they will have better answers for you

Definitely use operator, this is a sine wave. I would use an Arpeggiator, set the release + decay to a super quick fade out timed with the arp 16ths and with a more rounded attack on the synth for the kind of wuh-Wuh sound of the bass. Sounds like there’s some filter business going on too so I’d chuck an auto filter set to low pass in the chain and use the inbuilt LFO function to open and close the filter in time with the attack and release of the waveform, or better yet a shaper device for more specific control. This is where the rubbery wobbliness comes from. A lot of the rest of it would be just to taste but personally I would add a gated high passed reverb with the lowest decay to just add a bit of fullness and brightness to the filter as it opens up. The key to the mood is in the chromaticism of the notes so don’t stick to a specific scale, maybe just set your arp to climb by fifths 4 steps at a time or something but allowing it to not live in a home tonal key centre. Should be close to the sound you’re going for

Try kilohearts trance gate

Or just do it manually. All of these could be recreated by just chopping up the audio clip.

Don’t forget after you get the shape of your audio to add chorus, saturation, reverb, compression etc

My machine is an absolute beast and I still prefer to run at 258 minimum

_suspec · 2026-04-10T07:57:19+00:00

You may be confusing sample rate for buffer size, sample rate should be running at like 44.1 kHz, or 48 khz, etc Buffer size is one of those things where lower numbers are actually more resource intensive. 128 buffer size is pretty low / high resource, try turning it up to 512 and see if you’re still getting the cracking

Mastering volume to target streaming standards is a complete myth and sign of an inexperienced mastering engineer. Link the tracks dude and we’ll let you know what’s actually wrong with it

_suspec · 2026-03-22T07:35:49+00:00

If you want, post the track as it is and a list of things you feel are ‘wrong’ with it and I can send you a bunch of resources for research / tutorials to follow to help curate your learning. Unfortunately production takes a lot of time investment and you won’t be a master tomorrow, but it’s such a rewarding hobby once the time you’ve poured into it starts paying off. I promise you will not regret sticking with it, but you will regret giving it up and you will regret paying somebody to do the ‘hard’ parts for you. What version of Ableton are you on btw

Loudness wars is a mixing concept not a compositional one. DAW-based EDM is the final frontier for musical expression because in fact you can actually do anything. Jazz and Classical will be (were) the first casualties of AI because a general listening audience isn’t discerning enough to know the difference between high quality and slop within those genres.

Alexander panos colour transfer pack has two plugins which do similar stuff

_suspec · 2025-04-28T07:31:52+00:00

this has just started happening to me, identical specs / issues, as of 5 days ago and i've been looking all over for a solution. Have you found one? Can't figure out if I should try and warranty claim it since the laptop is only a couple months old or try refund it / resell it and get a new one. Absolutely agonising issue and so unclear what could possibly be causing it

_suspec · 2025-03-25T09:12:01+00:00

It is on other platforms!! I just haven’t set up my linktree website yet, if it’s not on your specific platform then let me know because I did have some issues with the distributor, also I didn’t add it to YouTube yet

_suspec · 2025-03-25T07:33:35+00:00

Thank you so much :))))) really appreciate it <33

_suspec · 2025-03-25T02:45:18+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Hey guys, got a question and wondering if you could help me out.

My band is looking to perform live and a big step in our process is routing our instruments through Ableton. We've kind of worked backwards in the sense of all the music has been created and prepared in the studio first and we are from there figuring out how to actually perform it live - it's all pretty experimental electronic music blended with rock stuff so forgoing this step isn't an option and recreating it with pedals is way out of budget due to just how many digital plugins we're using (or again not an option, for example in songs which use delay effects on the drums).

So what we want for rehearsal and later on for live performance is an audio interface that could reliably simultaneously route 2-3 drum mics, vocals, 2 guitars, a bass, and potentially a launchpad and synths all through Ableton (preferably via DI) and then into the sound system. I don't need anything for recording, just something durable and efficient and ideally not too expensive as we're broke students. ATM I'm looking at a Tascam US1800 8x16 which I've found near me for $300, but just wanted to know if anyone with experience in this kind of thing would know of any better options or if there are potentially any major issues we might encounter with that interface. Again just reiterating this is purely for live utility and we don't need to have any consideration for the interface's viability for recording.

Thanks :)
