Lets do this! Taking the track I made last week and showing all my mixing tips that only require default Ableton devices! no facy plug-ins minus Apogee's SoftLimit which is a free plug-in! (link below) My mindset when it comes to mixing is pretty simple, light EQ'ing, light effects, and getting the volume of sound right. That last one is so important. I'll show you the -6db trick I use to get me close to done and then we'll finish it off with a simple Ableton mastering chain for house music that I use to play my tracks out in a club.
