![]() ![]() So naturally I upgraded to the latest version. Once V5 was announced, I was entitled to a free upgrade to V5 because my V4 upgrade was so recent. If not for that, I would probably have remained at V3. I just paid to upgrade my V3 to V4, specifically so I could do this particular collaboration. He bought the V4 license awhile back but never got around to learning it. This was to be an opportunity for him to dig in to learn S1. I am halfway through a project that I am supposed to be turning over to a friend who has S1 V4. Nonetheless, I find it a very undesirable restriction. And maybe that is why Presonus feels like they need to be more liberal in their licensing. You could also “take back” an allocation from someone you’re no longer working with and give it to someone you are. Which doesn’t make the other allocations completely useless – you can do a lot of collaboration before someone changes versions. ![]() ![]() I recommend that you use this compressor on your grouped tracks and mix/master tracks.Ah, guess everyone was indeed on the same version when I collaborated with other humans. This control helps make your productions sound more put together and balanced. It helps you glue together audio playback from multiple tracks. The glue compressor is an invaluable mixing tool in Ableton. In a later article, I shall provide you with more on sidechaining, so stay tuned. Sidechaining is using the audio from a track or a group to control the playback of the track this compressor is loaded into. If you open the advanced parameters sub-menu, you will see the sidechain controls. The knee generally affects the immediacy of your compressor’s function as the audio signal approaches the threshold. Note! You will not find knee controls in this audio effect as you would find in Ableton’s primary compressor. This tool is useful for parallel compression. No matter how hard you push your threshold, depending on your range setting, this effect will not affect your signal.ĭry/Wet: This parameter controls the bled of the signal before and after compression. Range: This parameter controls the overall range of the threshold, ratio and knee. If you are downsampling on export, this function acts as a dither-more about Dithering in Ableton here. If you activate the ‘soft’ function, the glue compressor will add low-level distortion to soften the clipping distortion. This is what they do:Ĭlip: this parameter has an LED that glows orange when you have clipping in your audio output. This panel contains global parameter controls. Makeup: this parameter will allow you to increase the volume of your signal output to compensate for the volume loss you gave after compression. Threshold: this parameter is measured in dB (decibels) and depending on the level you set the threshold parameter, any signal that goes beyond this threshold will be compressed You will also find fin threshold and makeup gain controls. You will be able to see the gain reduction in action to help you see what your compressor is doing and how fast it is acting. In this panel, you will find the compressors visualizer. This ratio means that, for every 4 dB of audio coming in, there will be a 1 dB of audio outputted. The ratio in Ableton’s glue compressor has only 3 control options. Ratio: This controls how hard your compressor affects the audio signal. If you have a longer than necessary release, you will notice that if you have low-level noise, the compressor will bring this up. Release: this parameter affects how fast or slow this audio effect stops compressing your audio signal. ![]() If you have a fast attack, the compressor will compress your transients, and if you have this effect on your drum bus, you will find that your impacts are dullened. Here are the parameters and what they do:Īttack: this parameter controls how fast your compressor activates when an audio signal is input. Variable controls allow you to control the values of these parameters down to the decimal. These controls are of a fixed value as opposed to most Ableton effects which are variable. In this panel, you will see the classic analogue parameter control designs. The Glue compressor is a little bit different from the available parameter controls. There are a few parameters that are similar to Ableton’s primary compressor. Step 2: Open the compressor by selecting your track (MIDI/Audio) and double-click on the compressor, or drag and drop it into your track Step 1: Navigate to the Glue Compressor in the dynamics folder, located in the audio effects folder in Ableton’s browser The glue compressor is an audio effect and can be found with all of Ableton’s other audio effects.
