In this video, I'm going talk about how to organize plugins in Ableton Live. I've got too many plugins and with Ableton not having a plugin manager I'm determined to find a good way to get my plugin list tidy and organized better than just using collections. This is phase one of a big project so if you want to follow along with me on how I approach and discuss cleaning out my plugin list in Ableton then follow along!

Who hates Waves plugins? Well, I don't have them, I've been using them for over 20 years. But lately I've been getting really annoyed with their practices including paying for second licenses for use on two computers and their complicated licensing with that. I go over my favorite plugins by Waves that I use every day and ask you what your favorite replacements are. Let's have a discussion!

Back in the day I made an old video of a situation I had with Waves plugins so you can see the frustration has been building. Watch that video and drop me comments below with your favorite replacements plugins.

In this video, learn about the concepts of reverb in music production. I discuss and share how I approach reverbs and what I like to think about before applying any reverbs or loading up any plugins. I give away some solid tips on using reverbs, what reverbs can be good starting points for certain things and some pro tips on crafting the reverb you apply.

I then share examples of how some reverbs in my track sound and how subtle they really are but how much character they give to the music. If you're struggling with reverb and understanding what you use when as a general guideline, then this video is for you.

In this video, I am going to share advanced sidechaining tips and how you can sidechain your layers. It's a cool trick by using individual sidechains per layer of my basses and how you can get a different result than just sidechaining the whole bass buss or all of the layers with the same sidechain.
