Looking to buy a controller
General Producer Chat
Hi all
I've been thinking about buying an Ableton Push, or Novation Launchpad or Akai MPD. I want to spend less time on the screen and more using tacticle knobs, pads etc. Just wondering what experience people have with these, and which ones you would recommend. I've had a look but want to hear testimonials.
Thanks!

I'm obviously happy to do plenty more lessons on compression but you may also want to check out my Compression Fundamentals course as well... in a nutshell, Live's glue compression is a slightly gentler, more analogue compressor compared to Live's main one. It often gets better-sounding and more musical results. It's really great on buses as it's amazing for gentle compression that just helps knit everything together, hence the name!

True! I'll go there first and get back to you with any more questions... peace

Hi - there is a great free Saturation plug in from Softube. I used to use it all the time. Recently Ive been playing around with hardware EQ emulations and enjoying the saturation that they give with an EQ boost (such as SSL plugins)

Ahh yes! I actually got that for free a few years ago from somewhere - it's one of many plugins I havent got round to utilising properly yet... I'll give it a go, Thanks!

Output Thermal, Ableton's Stock Saturator and Saturn are going to be All Around workhorses, they can do tape saturation, tube saturation, wavefolding, and a number of other types of saturation. Some (read Not Ableton's Saturator) allow really granular control and multiband saturation which can also be great for easily applying the saturation to just specific frequency bands. Hope this helps!

Hey, thanks for your detailed response. I've been using Ableton's for a while and i agree its great, just looking for something with a different sound. I think I;m gonna try Output Thermal and see how it goes. I've heard its particularly good for applying to drums.
Cheers again!

Beginner question about mastering using Ozone

I've always lived by the advice of don't master in your mix project - export, then master in a new project. It ensures you are happy with your mix before mastering (in the same project, you can keep tweaking, not always a good thing). Furthermore, its a little easier on your CPU!
