Switching from FL to Ableton is like learning to make EDM from ground zero. I have a hard time getting to know my new DAW but so far I'm very happy with the purchase. I made this little piece - please tell me which areas need work?
Cheers!

| Hopefully you got at least Ableton 8. Let me know if you need any help with learning it. |

| Track sounds pretty good, polished indeed. I had to learn ableton from scratch as well except it was my first DAW (i knew NOTHING about producing). I really like it and it wasnt that hard to learn. Ofcourse there are still many things for me to learn but the basic and some advanced areas i think ive covered... in the end it really comes down to you and your ideas, the DAW just eases the workflow and all. |

sounds nice and I'm a fan of your design work too (for those curious his avatar and logo are .png with a transparency so it blends with the alternating black and dark grey background of the forum) I could see this working well on the dance floor irl
maybe narrow up the stereo field on the main synth? |

Thanks mate, Ableton 8 it is (loving it)! I have one question right now actually - how can I automate fx's wet level if said effect doesn't have dry/wet knob? It was easy in FL but in Ableton I'm struggling to see a way to do it.

Thanks for listening ;) Ableton is AMAZING, mate. It does not get much better than this. It's not hard to learn Ableton, but sometimes it is a struggle to come up with a way to do something that would be pretty straightforward in FL, especially if you only learned the latter.

Thanks! I'm glad that you liked the track. :)
'Misfortune' graphics are really basic, I did them in CorelDRAW in the first day of using the application. If I could do it - anyone can :D |

| You're going to have to learn how to use groups, learn the utility trick, and learn how to use the macro controls. |

Utility trick? |
|

You have to create a dry wet knob....
Create a group with three chains: FX, Dry, and one with the Utility Plug in with reversed phases. Macro the volume of the levels of the FX and utility channels together so they default to 0 db volume. When you turn the macro knob the utility channel will cancel out the dry signal through reverse polarity, and the wet signal will increase in volume.
This will create a dry/wet knob, and then you can automate it.
For a newcomer, I would not bother to learn this but if you do you have some homework to do(including reading the manual).

| Damn, this sounds really solid. Nice clear synths, everything sounds pretty big, especially that yummy bass. Musically it's great. Anything on the master? |

"copy value to siblings" is a useful thing, the drum racks default to 0 velocity sensitivity
although if you have multiple drum racks in an instrument rack it copies the value to ALL of them instead of just the one you're working on which is the ing dumbest thing ever
for as amazing as ableton is there are some things that are just so ing dumb it's amazing
like you can't tempo sync audio loops from within a rack |
