Use FL Studio's sidechain routing menu for Delta integration
Problem: Configuring sidechain inputs in FL Studio
In FL Studio, Delta's sidechain input requires navigating to the plugin's processing menu to select the external signal. This workflow tip ensures proper routing for dynamic saturation effects when using Delta with other…
Route multiple tracks to a single bus for claps
This allows you to control the level of all claps at once and avoid overloading the mix.
Route tracks to buses according to category for easier side chain compression application
Problem: applying side chain compression to individual tracks
Routing tracks to buses according to category can make it easier to apply side chain compression to your mix.
Create reverse effects by routing audio tracks
Press command T to create a new track. Route bass sound from one track to another for recording and then back to main output.
Route bass layers to separate buses for individual processing
Problem: Achieving distinct character in layered bass without muddying the mix
Sending different bass layers to distinct buses allows independent processing while maintaining cohesion in the main mix. This setup lets you apply unique effects to each layer (e.g., distortion, EQ) without affecting…
Route sounds to delay via sends
Problem: inconsistent spatial effects
Using Ableton's send feature to route multiple tracks (e.g., bass and vocals) to a shared delay track creates cohesion and spatial depth. This technique allows for centralized delay processing, saving time and ensuring…
Move kick to strums group and EQ it
Problem: muddy low end
Routing the kick to the strums group allows unified EQ processing. Cutting 200-300Hz on the kick avoids clashing with bass frequencies, ensuring clarity in the low end.
Set up two MIDI tracks in Live: one for MIDI Shaper and one for the instrument
Problem: Instrument not receiving MIDI data from MIDI Shaper
To route MIDI data from MIDI Shaper to an instrument, you need two MIDI tracks. One track hosts MIDI Shaper, and the other hosts the instrument. This setup ensures that the instrument receives MIDI data from the MIDI…
Set the MIDI From field on the instrument track to the MIDI Shaper track
Problem: Instrument not receiving MIDI data from MIDI Shaper
To ensure the instrument receives MIDI data from the MIDI Shaper track, set the top and bottom MIDI From fields to the MIDI Shaper track. This is a crucial step in the routing process. Switching the monitor function to…
Create a dummy MIDI pass through track for effect plugins
Problem: Effect plugin not receiving MIDI data from MIDI Shaper
When assigning CCs to a MIDI-enabled effect plugin, create a dummy MIDI pass through track between MIDI Shaper and the effect track. This track should take input from MIDI Shaper and output to the effect. This is an…
