Here's something that may help when finding a sound/melody that you want to save for later in Ableton: Create a new folder ("Midi Ideas" is mine) and add it to your Places in the browser. Drag the Midi of the sound you like from the Timeline or Loop View into this (Midi Ideas) folder and name the Midi. When you open a new project, drag the midi file into the empty space in either view. Tempo, Instrument Preset, and all your Effects will all generate automatically in the new session. It's allowed me to quickly save great ideas without the extra hassle of deleting tracks, moving projects to new folders, or saving effects chains separately. You may need to save the VST instrument preset before this process, if you have made preset tweaks, for this to work properly. Love your content as always, and cheers!

This guy is the real deal, feels refreshing to actually hear a PRO instead of these selfclaimed PROS lmao

Hi Will, I cannot thank you enough for the videos, they are excellent. They are so practical and absolutely relevant and there is so much value in them. On one hand, I am so glad that someone created a channel focused on such a niche stuff as EDM production. On the other hand, it is a bit scary that there is 200+K people doing it already:-))) Regarding the content, I find so reassuring that the techniques and problems you mention are exactly what I (and other EDM producers) had/have to face. It is like not being alone in all of this - I mean doing weird stuff other people do not understand at all....hahaha. I think in some way, a person needs to be obsessed with this because otherwise it is very difficult to produce reasonably good quality. But it is such a great feeling to produce something literally from nothing, to give something to the world. To create and not to consume, to contribute in this amazing way. Regards, Adam

As always Will, thank you so much for all the free value you’re providing us with. I’m so glad to be part of the EDM Tips academy!

@stevensmith1788 2 years ago

Hi Will, earlier I watched one of your videos from two years ago it’s amazing how far how the production of your videos has evolved and how slick they are now love it ❤

Sound selection is so important.

This is great, thank you!

As my mentor always says : "It's hard to mix, but harder to fix." So, focus more on the production and less you'll have to do later.

@SAKURA-TV2140 2 years ago

Recently found this channel. Absolute gane changer. Been seriously struggling with getting consistently coherent mixes.

Hi will, i wanted to just say mate within the past 2-3 weeks I have been watching your channel, there's sooooo much stuff you have helped me with I'm actually flabbergasted because I didn't think most of these tips would work for me until I tried them. Before then my music sounded absolutely shit, I'm not kidding but since i started listening to you, within 2 weeks my tracks have been changing and getting better every single track just gets better and better i can properly hear them, i don't hear any flat, muddy, or just annoying frequencies in my mix (as much) but i know when and how to fix them. just wanted to say big thank you mate! you genuinely have helped me soo much and I'm only going to get better and faster at making music, and its all thanks to you mate!!!
