Ah, ok. So it sounds like you might typically get dry and wet stems. I’m trying to get better at printing the wet fx for main stems like vocals but it can be a pain in Ableton to do quickly.

As for BBQ, you are correct! Us Texans do think the meat should be succulent without the sauce, but we still love us some sauce options. At least this saucy-boy does! 🍖🛸

Loving this thread and process!

It’s like bbq (vegan or otherwise), make it slap with the dry rub and then add the sauce to taste!

Do you ever get vocal stems with already great fx that you then have to approximate if tasty? Or are they typically dry and you sauce to taste?

Ew! Timely! I was wondering the same thing after listening to your (excellent) Ari podcast interview.

Your video was comforting as I’m a reference-fanatic.

For those like me that don’t have a phancy console set up, I drop my references in every Ableton session and have a solo hot key (1 for the modern pop track, 2 for the warm indie vibe, 3 for Beatles cuz Beatles) for each one so I can quickly compare vibes and even move around the instrumental or vocal sections where they line up accordingly for a little more focus.

Thanks for making this, Dana!

Very interested in this topic!

Thanks for the solution and video, Dana!

Looks legit.

Seems like the free version is only mono so bueno there though I will definitely subscribe if I don’t find a free alternative in the meantime.

Noted: Mixes may sound cleaner if monitors are dusted. 🤣

What kind of setting is “in” or “out” for surround sound anyway? haha.🤔

Thank you for erasing years of youtube fear-setting right here. haha

Awesome. Love reading this note (that you also shared on my consultation!) about the levels and cranking the system on the first pass with headroom. I needed this visual/text reminder! 🙏
