Exploring the mixing environment in Ableton Live 10
Our next Ableton Live Tutorials video breaks down the fundamentals of mixing in Live 10
Ableton Live Mixer
Continuing from our last episode, in which we got to grips with Live’s insert effects, Liam O’Mullane guides us through the mixing environment in Live 10. The mixing view is where you’ll be balancing levels of your instruments, pushing them into a stereo space and sending them to effects units to make them more interesting. Liam will show you how the send and return channels function in Live 10, how to route audio through different sources and outputs and how to use panorama to send tracks to the left and right speakers.
Other lessons in our Ableton Live Tutorials series so far include:
