How to Get a Vocal to Cut Through Your Mix Using ONLY FREE PLUGINS
How to Get a Vocal to Cut Through Your Mix Using ONLY FREE PLUGINS
If you record, mix, or produce vocals in any way then this video is a MUST watch for you. Vocals fight for space in your song with anything else in the midrange. Things like instruments, synths, top basses - all kinds of stuff. This is called masking. It's super important for your vocal to be clear so listeners can hear the lyrics and vibe with your message. Old-school techniques like using a compressor to duck the midrange instruments, or boosting the vocal to "cut through" the mix always result in undesirable side-effects that damage your carefully constructed mix. Tune in and see a new approach that has ALL the upside with no downside.

4 Tips for How to Choose the Best Reference Tracks
As you may know, the art and science of mixing and mastering is subjective and complicated. Luckily, critically listening to and analyzing other people’s music (i.e., reference songs) can help you quickly get the pro sound you want. But what songs should you use? In this video, Ableton Certified Trainer Ian Gallagher reveals 4 rock-solid rules for selecting the best reference songs for your music. After years of trial and error, Ian has come up with these tips to ensure you’re using the right reference tracks for your music.

In other words, before you start grabbing random reference tracks, make sure you’re considering these key parameters. If you’re interested in learning more about using reference songs check out Ian’s full course at Warp Academy called Producing with Reference Tracks.

“I think my Tweaker is Broken.”
One common creative hurdle in the song-finishing process is adding "sparkle" to the drums: fills, rolls, and other semi-random nuances that take your drums from a robotic drum machine pattern into something like a "performance". Through the use of playable, real-time switchable patterns, Break Tweaker can help you do this in some pleasantly surprising ways.

How Convoluted Is Your Reverb?
Reverb plugins come in two flavors: algorithmic and convolution. Both do the same job - they give your recording an artificial sense of space. The first does it through an algorithm (aka: math) containing a series of tightly packed delays that gives you a room simulation. A convolution reverb (such as the one included in Live 9 Suite's Max for Live plugin of the same name) uses an impulse response of an actual space.
