Groups within groups are great for getting more granular with your organizational workflow, especially when performing tasks like mixing layered vocals or drums. Ever wanted to have an \u201cadlibs\u201d group within your vocal bus? How about a \u201ccymbals\u201d group for your drum bus? It\u2019s finally here. The future is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO NOT: Forget about your groups when bouncing stems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">However<\/span>,<\/strong>&nbsp;there is one very important situation where users must take heed. When bouncing stems for an engineer, keep in mind your group structure. Failure to ungroup your buses or the \u201cAll Individual Tracks\u201d option will lead to confusing stem bounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got tons of grouped tracks, Live will not intelligently collate them as you bounce. In plain English, when you bounce out stems, Live will export the group stem as well as each individual track, without any indication as to which is which. This can produce all kinds of nasty results when the stems are played back all together, including phase and level issues, because the individual stems are summed as part of the group and then also played back on top of the group bus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve wasted plenty of clients\u2019 money during engineering sessions trying to figure out which tracks belonged to which groups. Consider taking the time to delete any exported stems that you don\u2019t wish to give to your engineer: they should be able to drag and drop the stems into their DAW without having to do any guesswork. At minimum, make sure to name your groups so you can decide whether you want to give the engineer the buses with your group processing for more convenience or the individual stems for greater control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-401e1da9bd64023b4473a358de1ffd68\" style=\"background-color:#62daff\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/plans\/ableton-live\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Splice is now integrated into Ableton Live\u2014discover how to search, filter, and audition Splice sounds, all synced to your project\u2019s key and tempo.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Collections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Live\u2019s GUI has always been beautiful in its own way. I\u2019ll never understand why that mystifying gray matrix of squares and rectangles held, and holds, such allure. That said, Live\u2019s visual design cannot be construed as particularly colorful. That changes (slightly) with the addition of Collections, a fun way to tag elements in Live with a color for easy access. You can associate plugins, samples, files, audio effects, Max patches, and pretty much anything else you can see in Live\u2019s Browser with a color\/number combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO: Color code and favorite your frequently used samples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this new functionality to your advantage! Being able to access your collections will be a game changer, and the best part is that there are no rules about how you categorize. Try grouping by instrument, by genre, by mood, or by your own level of faculty with whatever you\u2019re tagging. Don\u2019t forget your hotkeys! You don\u2019t need to click or drag to apply a tag, simply highlight it in Ableton\u2019s browser and type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. You can also rename colors to fit your organizational scheme, as I\u2019ve done here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"393\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822.png\" alt=\"organize-ableton-session-04\" class=\"wp-image-4546 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822-355x109.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822-400x123.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822-768x236.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822-1024x314.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_3-e1520615040822-1200x368.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/393;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO NOT: Get lazy and just add every sample pack you\u2019ve ever downloaded<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s so easy to tag samples now that you might find yourself going a little bit overboard. But if every sample in your library is tagged as a favorite, you\u2019ve created nothing except for a separate link to your full library. Take this process slowly and enjoy discovering the beautiful sounds of your sample library, selecting only the cream of the crop to make your favorites collection. It\u2019s also not a bad idea to pare down the selection every once in a while, removing the favorite tag from samples that you rarely use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Automation Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember dreading getting papers back in high school. My heart would sink as I looked at my beautiful project, now drenched in these awful red lines like a murder scene. Ironically, that\u2019s basically how my Ableton projects looked before the introduction of Automation Mode, a new feature that will hide your precisely-crafted breakpoint envelopes when you\u2019re not editing them. Using Automation Mode to your advantage will help keep your project nice and clean, and your fragile psyche intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO: Show Automation in New Lane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that it\u2019s easy to hide automation when you don\u2019t need it, there\u2019s no reason not to have a separate automation lane for each parameter that you want to automate. Instead of searching through the Device Chooser and Automation Control drop-downs for the exact parameter you want, blow out each parameter you automate into a new lane and hide it once you\u2019re done automating. That way, you don\u2019t need to go searching for the right parameter if you want to make a quick tweak. Plus, you can see multiple automated parameters without looking into each one individually. <strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262.png\" alt=\"organize-ableton-session-01\" class=\"wp-image-4544 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262-355x78.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262-400x88.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262-768x169.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262-1024x225.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_1-e1520615072262-1200x263.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/281;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Above: Individual selection of parameters<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"454\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963.png\" alt=\"organize-ableton-session-02\" class=\"wp-image-4545 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963-355x126.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963-400x142.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963-768x272.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963-1024x363.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_2-e1520615105963-1200x426.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/454;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Above: Multiple automated parameters &#8211; easier to tweak the one you want without digging through menus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For bonus points, right click on a parameter when you automate it and click \u201cShow Automation in New Lane\u201d to immediately create an automation lane for the selected parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO NOT: Get thrown off by keyboard hotkeys &#8220;A&#8221; and &#8220;M&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation Mode\u2019s new functionality is a powerful tool for effective visual organization, but it can be disorienting as well. Since migrating to Live 10, I\u2019ve found myself looking for automation lanes with Automation Mode hidden out of habit. This can be very frustrating, especially when you consider the new hotkey for using your computer\u2019s MIDI keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re like me, sometimes you just want to use the keyboard that\u2019s already touching your fingers to tap out a simple pattern. In Live 9, you\u2019d use &#8220;cmd+Shift+K&#8221; to toggle whether you wanted your computer keyboard to send MIDI messages. In Live 10, though, &#8220;M&#8221; is the hotkey that will accomplish this task. If you\u2019re toggling both your Computer MIDI Keyboard and Automation Mode frequently, you might find yourself wanting to enable Automation Mode by pressing &#8220;A,&#8221; then running into confusion when you realize you\u2019re sending a MIDI note. If this keeps happening to you, make sure to be mindful of your current Automation Mode and Computer Keyboard states. I\u2019ve illustrated the relevant indicators in the screenshots below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"316\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344.png\" alt=\"organize-ableton-session-05\" class=\"wp-image-4547 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344-355x88.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344-400x99.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344-768x190.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344-1024x253.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Organize-Ableton-Session_InPost_4-e1520615127344-1200x296.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/316;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Above: Automation Mode disabled, Computer Keyboard enabled.
