very helpful and inspiring tutorial. thx for that!
I have a question to the bass-mix-track. is there a particular reason (or advantage) to route them into an audio track instead of just grouping them together?

Glad you enjoyed it @NBT !!

In terms of grouping vs. routing (or bussing) … there has been a little bit of discussion regarding that in Ableton. It is a matter of preference, convenience and sometimes even visual reference. There is no right or wrong. There are small pros and cons to both. In this instance more a matter of personal taste.

Happy music making!

Hi @imo_95 … great that you picked up on a few tips. Thanks for the words. If there’s something essential that you feel you didn’t quite grasp after a couple of run throughs, then feel free to ask that question here. Every person is unique and will have different levels of skill with Ableton. I always take feedback on board.

Happy music making!

Hi Christian

no problem @Popey !!

So, it is not really to add “body” to the Bass Mix… it is really to use the Bass Mix as a sound source to add some fuzz and some movement into the track. (with a creative FX chain on a Return Channel). It is not super essential. I just wanted to show that you can use an existing, dominant recording (of your own) and continue to use it in a constructive and creative way right through the process. You could, of course, use saturation in this way to add some extra body to this stem at this stage of production. This is the beauty of being able to produce your track in different stages as different projects… and also to use your own stems creatively and not think of them as stagnant recordings that cannot be altered. Sends and Returns offer endless ways to enhance your ideas.

Hope this helps!
