Mitch Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Looking to work on improving production quality. Considering downloading/buying one of those complete track walkthroughs. Has anyone got one before that's good? Using ableton and looking at disco/house sorta stuff. Also got the maschine but I don't really use it so if anyone has any vids on incorporating that into the workflow that would be sweet. Haven't really found a way that works awesome for me to incorporate in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure if these track walk throughs are any good. Can offer chats if you need m8. Not the best ableton user but I feel like I got it sussed pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah I'm not sure if they're any good either, so wanted to see if anyone has seen any experience with them. I'm fine with the ableton itself, I know how to navigate around and do everything, I guess it's my actual music knowledge is my weakest point, so I was looking for something where I could watch someone compose something to get ideas to work off and improve. I know plenty of people in Melb who are better than myself I should probably ask some of them to collab and learn off them as we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 i think all these videos do is show you how they made the track in terms of structure and other little techniques. i don't think they provide any kind of theory if that's what you're looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Guess I'm looking for a bit of both. I'm already doing some reading around theory and stuff, but also want to see some practical implementation at a more professional level than what I can currently do.

LabRat Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 ahk might be worth while taking a look then. you can always learn something regardless i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 ive looked through quite a few now and admittedly picked up lots of little things. especially mix related. really depends on where you get it from. Ive had a couple that sound fantastic on the vid/sc link whatever and then i open it up and its a bunch of frozen audio tracks like wtf as if im going to learn shit off of that. be careful to look out for the plugins you need to have as well. ive seen a couple with huge lists of plugins that i skimmed thinking i had all the major ones and then opened the project to find a whole lot of useless shit. not to sure about house/disco/techno but for a couple of the future bass/trap/bigroom sorta ones ive seen they do some pretty interesting stuff mix wise that i wouldnt have thought to do if i couldnt pull it apart (mainly listening to what individual channels sound like in isolation. thing ive found was that i was not nearly harsh enough with my eq'ing in the past because i too often listened to individual tracks in isolation and then tried to make a lot of good sounding things fit together. listen to shit in the mix and then iso was really fascinating) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
