Do you sell Presets for Operator / LIVE ?

Dude. I just want to take a week of vacation time and study all your videos in depth to really absorb all this info. You are awesome.

4am in Argentina and i can't believe how much you can actually do, the sky it's the limit.... Don't know how much time took you to figure out all this thing but thanks a lot for share and open our brains up and start to do more complex sounds

Please don’t stop making these videos on different topics! This is so good! Thank you!

1. Extreme respect; for opening our eyes 2. Please make a playlist of just the operator tutorials, it's right now a little difficult to find unless you come by it. I could have found the video a lot earlier if you just had a playlist for it. And my life would have been so much better. Sooner I mean ;) 3. Personally, This series has been of the highest value out of anything else on KZread on production so far. I appreciate your love for art and the dedication to service. Thank you, for everything.

Top tutorials! A suggestion: play with the attack time of the glue comp. Slowing it down means that the transients will get through just before the comp kicks in and you can preserve some of the HF and just tighten the mid/lows. In the mix or live you might want this to keep the excitement of the line playing played. Having super fast attack time will tame HF and help if you need something underneath or further in the mix.

Dude you are changing my life. Thank you ^^

right!!!!

These videos are so flipping good.

These videos are great! Goes much much deeper than your average tutorial. Your explanations are very articulate and easy to understand. Learned some new things. Keep it up! Just subscribed.

Really enjoying this! This is a great tutorial. Appreciate the reasonable explanations for everything and your thoroughness. Keep 'em coming man.

I absolutely love your content. Thank you for your in-depth tutorials and lessons! As a long-time DAW operator relatively new to Ableton, this information is indispensable for my live production.

The BEST Ableton content on Planet Earth. Just finished the first course and looking forward to the next one! Thanks for everything you are doing!

This is really, really good. Been cycling production videos for just a couple of years, and this is just pure gold man. Huge thanks!

Awesome stuff man, I was waiting for this.

Seriously.... one of the best production tutorial I’ve watched in close to 5 years! Really, genuinely amazing

I am using Ableton for two months now and I am so pleased with your tutorials you are making with Operator. I can't wait to check your next video!

I'm doing a lot of sound design with Operator right now, and you're absolutely right: the sound design you do in Operator is only the beginning of a good sound. Great vid, great channel, keep it up.

This is for sure one of the best videos about ableton i've ever seen. Please keep the great work, you just got a new follower. =)

You’ve got the cleans and clearest tutorials on these concepts. Nice job!

Highest quality Ableton tutorials on KZread hands down! Thanks so much!

Thank you for making these videos! It's incredible how much I've learnt in 2 hours!

Thx so much, you opened my eyes and my ears for the potential of Operator, both Thumbs up for this exciting journey into the depths of live, incredible job ☺👍

This is just genius. Please keep it up :) I'm so inspired when I see your tutorials!

Incredible tutorial. Can't even really express what a great teacher you are

Thanks a lot for this, very informative! I would like to add though that replicating a specific existing sound still is a very good way to practise and learn using your tools in a directed way. It also trains the ear while deconstructing the components of the original sound.

Awesome Operator series. I had problems initially with the sounds you were creating,as they are not my style, but once I got over this I realised how much I'd been missing with this instrument. I'm hugely addicted to Ableton overall, but if Operator came in just a standlone VST I'd be worth the price of Ableton Standard, if not Suite, on its own. Have a gold star and keep up the good work.

This is packed with great seeds! thanks again.

Best ever and most useful videos about operator! well done! Greetz from Thailand!

amazing series! thank you so much

Dude, just astounding. As always. :)

Fairplay man, you are an awesome teacher. Your videos are quality, good work!

Man, I have no idea, how you know all that, but I rarely find a channel with so much knowledge and deep explanation. Thanks!

Very inspirational man, awesome stuff. Thanks!

Finally someone with some honest, real information!

What a beast of a video. Holy cow.

man i love this tutorial. gold 4 producers trying to evolve their sound

I've watched all of these Operator vids, and I now dream of you saying, "Now I am going to turn on the shaper, add a little bit of drive, compensate with some volume. actually lets use the hard" haha keep up the hard work man. you've changed my ableton life in the past two months!

Great video. Highlights for me were layering found sounds into instrument racks and side-chaining corpus! Thank you.

Anthony knows what he does. Thanks & props!

Great tutorial man! Really inspired me today.

This video was so mindblowing im gonna buy the pack asap! Thank you man.

Love your vids. The 2nd Operator video showed me things I haven't touched yet and I make/made almost everything in my tracks in Operator, over the last six years. PS Bobby West says hi.

Best ableton tutorial ever!

Love your tutorials, thanks!

Amazing, thanks so much. I hope you get as much out of making these videos as we do in learning from them.

Very much appreciated and very much needed.

Great series, Thanks

Damn super duper awesome class!🥰

This is great !

Wonderful!!

Mad props for these videos! Amazing as usual. And great to use the built in devices - trying to make similar things in Phase Plant or Pigments or Serum has my laptop in a fit - no fans in overdrive running these! Great sound design lesson!! THANK! YOU! LOTS!

Good tutorial. It helped me to re-learn and learn stuff :) I appreciate your effort here. Cheers,

dude .... this is to much! amazing amazing work thank YOU!

so so good. Thank you

Dude those sounds are uhhmazing 👍

the best operator tutorial

Amazing!!

Really excellent. Keep making similar videos where you break down interesting ways of using Ableton FX. I do think there are some overarching basic principles of sound design which you only truly understand through experimentation yourself or watching someone else doing it...cheers!

Man these are fantastic vids. Super inspiring and enlightening. Perfect for total noobs like me.

thank you so much

Love ya !

You are crazy, man!))) Such a useful tutorial!

thank you

sei un grande zio!

Awesome channel, lot of information

wow! such a good show!

Love. Autechre is a big inspiration for me, their sound design is phenomenal. Wondering if you'll dive into some max?

Don’t know if this is something you go over at some point, but mapping LFO to delay time at a very low range, say 19-23% on the left and 21-19% on the right gives a great sense of movement.

good shit, cheers

Best Operator tutorial, Ableton should take yours to an Official ;)

My whole life was a lie! Thank you so much!

This video series is so rich in information, let's fucking go

Youre content is so amazing and engaging. I stay through the video which i dont do for other creators because its o engrossing. I actually had a small request if you could do a video on multiband dynamics much like in the way you did for the operator. It would be amazing if you could do that.

EXTREMELY valuable information. You can hear the passion in his voice.

sound design god!

52:55 "Alright I'm gonna fly through this" I see what you did there 😏

you can highlight any instrument and hit ctrl/command g to group it to instrument rack. and you can highlight your FX and do the same. rightclick group is nice if you do this constantly in your workflow. but i think ctrl g is way faster. it is very intuitive because channel grouping is as well highlighting channels and hit ctrl g. this tutorial series blowed my mind. very insane tricks that are showed here. ableton is such a crazy tool.

if you tend to forget the key think about G is the first letter for Group.

Oh my God I love you.

Fckn great

41:41 made me laugh so hard and idk why. "So what I did is I added a saturator".

I'm just watching it 4th time. No, I was interested in content the first time. The second time I watched I was checking this stuff out myself along. All the rest I'm just watching for ads. You gotta be paid for that, bro! Holy Sh*t! :O Alright... dude, you're The Man. Thank you for your hard work! Your explanations are great and you're a great teacher. I've never found a tutorial on Ableton's built-in tools as comprehensive and detailed as your serie on the "Operator". Huge ups to you and thank you!

Love your vid - its one of my favorites now. But wanted to point out you made a slight mistake where you used Operator to make your Hyper saws. @ 10:00 you demo the preset you had made, but when you rebuilt it from scratch, you neglected to change the Algorithm from 4 in series, to 4 in parallel. Your narrative said you were seeking to illustrate how to create lots of parallel detuned saw tooth voices (16 using 4 instances of 4 osc's each), which is essentially what the "unison detune" function does, but what you did was make 4 complex FM'd instances of Operator voices. Since your levels for FMing were down, it didn't get very obvious, but you might want to think about how you could fix your video to clear that up. You obviously know your stuff, and covered a lot of ground with this one - thanks!

🥴 instant subscribe!

still legendary

Bonjour, merci bcp pour ton aide. Peux tu faire la même série de tuto sur un plugin de reverb stp ?

Am I mistaken, or did the phase of the bass flip around the 45-46 minute mark? And isn't that messing with the mono image for when you want your bass to translate well that way? Thanks for the great tut!

ILOVEYOU

I'm trying to work out what you did with the Operator's internal LFO by around 34:02 - it's presumably not affecting the A Oscillator as the pitch isn't bending up & down, so where is it going to?

What you did there with the chained LFOs modulating all the parameters of the operator chain? With a different waveform in each LFO? lifechanging

Are you planning on covering synths outside of live someday?

The bass you made at 46:00 sounds like Deku Scrubs from Zelda. It’s a Deku Sub lol

would you like to make a wavetable series?

thanks for the video! i'm curious about this LFO device. i have ableton 10 suite but i don't have this LFO in my library :( any ideas?

@donalobrien2266

nvm... it's the "max for live" devices

I really don't understand how you can get that sound with that specific algorithm. I would guess that there hasn't been some big update in that area, and when I try and replicate your settings I get really noisy shit. I needed to change the algorithm so all oscillators were independent.

Just a thought the auto filter (14.27 on) looked like it was on the 5th operator only - am I correct in this? If so, how come it affected the whole sound? PS AT LAST I am finding how to make BIG sounds ... thank you.

Is there a way to quickly sample any synth with Ableton? Not just one waveform sample BUT actually for printing into a sample instrument/rompler like kontakt? FL studio has a function like this: u can right click any software synth (say like SERUM) and click create sampled instrument = creates a nearly identical sampled instrument in DIRECTWAVE ... :O

Is there anyway to get the LFO for the standard edition?

hey man! in which ableton version is the lfo? i got the live 9 suite and it is not in there :/

This is it
