To do that, unfold the Drum Rack track in Session view, select the chains you want to keep together and then choose Extract Chains from Live's Create menu or from any selected chain's context menu. With a track that holds a large Drum Rack, you may want to first split that into separate Drum Racks on their own tracks - drums, percussion and effects, for example.
Groups also make it easier to solo or mute all tracks within the Group, as well as to visually tidy up large Sets by folding Groups. This is Live's easiest way to create a submix (the alternative is to route the outputs of multiple tracks to a new audio track). In some cases you may want to go a step further and collect similar tracks into a Track Group. Organising Your TracksĪ good way to organise the remaining tracks is to assign the same or similar colours to similar tracks: percussion, keys, pads, vocals and so on. It will also save time when Freezing tracks because Freezing automatically applies to both Session and Arrangement view clips (for details see the 'Bouncing & Stems' box). This will save you from accidentally deactivating an Arrangement view track with an errant key command or button press. If you are at the final stage of the project and will not be using Session view clips, it's also a good idea to delete all of them along with any clip slot Stop buttons.
(Muting a track does not deactivate its devices.) Move all remaining unused tracks to the end of the Track list, combine them in a Track Group (Command+G/Control+G) and then fold and mute the Group. To save CPU, consider removing or at least deactivating any devices on unused tracks that you do keep. Delete any unused tracks for which you have no plans, including Return tracks. It's never too early to get rid of the junk, and that's a good way to clear your mind when you're stuck. Let's start by cleaning up your Live Set. For more on mastering in Live, check out the February 2015 Live column, ' The Final Act'. I'll leave the whens and whys of mixing and mastering to others, but you'll find helpful tips in most issues of SOS, and a good starting point is Hugh Robjohns' 2002 article, Practical Mixing. This month we'll have a look at how to accomplish common mixing tasks in Ableton Live.
We show you some tips to streamline your mixing in Live. Screen 1: The four steps to split a drum part into two kits, apply separate effects and export an audio stem for the final mix.
