Aux SENDS and RETURNS, BUSES and GROUPS in Ableton Live 11

Fantastic video, thank you for your contributions. You have made clear some very confusing terms and concepts! E

I can insert vsts onto a group track in ableton too though if im not mistaken? Is there a benifit to using a traditional audio track as a bus processing unit or can i just use my vsts on the group buss created with the ctrl G command? Help 😅

Thanks Becky very useful

Thanks for this video. However, for me, this was missing the big why. Why and when would I use a group, when would I use an effect on a track and when use a bus or a return. Returns have the huge added benefit that they dont reduce the overall volume when using a dry/wet. Inline effects do.

Great tutorial Becky Summer.

What are the benefits of using return channels?

and i JUST learned more about you Becky 😻

this track reminds me of bomberman hero on 64 and i love it

Wonderful knowledge

i dont know why nobody explains the returns dif beetwen pre and post lmao

Bus và Group có giống nhau về chức năng?

Wish Live 12 has a "Proper" traditional mixer GOD :(

Thanks this was very helpful and clearly explained!

Thank you!

Trash it. It’s it together something that’s not chaos.

Great video! Question - what's the difference between adding that Glue Compressor onto the DRUMS Group that you created instead of creating another track and creating a Bus?

Is the send pre-fader or post-fader? If pre-fader, pre-effects or post-effects? Can we control these factors?

Very good explanation. Thank you.

Great video!. Really well explained, clear and to the point. Looking forward to more. Thanks! 🙏

Best video I've seen introducing this topic, informative and concise. Especially returns and the send meter that shows up on each track. Also the last tip on creating a parallel processing (chains) aux track (drum bus) was very cool; demystified a bunch of powerful features in this video.

Thanks for this!

Thank you for this video! So useful, cleared up a lot of things I was confused about.

I love you.. you are such a mom!

Excellent explaination 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you so short and clean.

Brilliant! Concise and on point. Thank you!

Brilliant tutorial :)

Very helpful! Thanks! Gonna have to practice parallel processing a bit.

Thank you! This is exactly the video I was looking for. Very clear and well explained.

Good stuff 👍

I have watch SO many videos trying to learn this very thing and have YET to see someone just say how to do it. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

Very Clear, thank you! A sub from me.

Yo thank you this def helped 🙏🙏

Amazing tutorial :) Thanks ❤

Does a bus track require you to recording to it for the bus effect to be rendered in mixdown or does it do it automatically during export?

Hi Girl, my dreams this is tips in Ableton. I from Brazil.

When using a return track, what are your thoughts on using Send Only vs. using both signals?

Thank you, this is the vest video explaining this. As an Ableton user it's always been confusing when I watch videos of people mixing with Protools or Logic. Seems like grouping is the way to go!

I just wish ableton would let us Name the Sends & Returns. Using A,B,C etc... I forget what's what!

Does anyone got a good reason why to still configure and use a BUS in Ableton Live when GROUPS are actually the better solution? Effects can be placed on Groups as well even if Becky does not mention it in the video explicitly - the part with the parallel processing could be done on the drum group instead.

Thank you
Very useful tip
You are a beautiful person

Great info!! Don't forget - you can Automate how much signal is being sent to any Return track just as you can automate the input signal amount if, say, a Glue Compressor is on only 1 instrument track.

I've watched a few videos on this topic and it finally clicked after I watched this one. Thank you!

explained in the simplest form possible, well done. It gets quite complicated taking this further if we get to sidechaining, synth effects, racks being shifted into a single channel, bus mixes, bus Fx and quick stems. but i figure if they know this, they will figure the rest out rather quick.

wow this was so good, clear, and to the point.

Such a helpful video! Thank you this was very short, fun and clear!

So thorough, thank you so much for this video!

Can you create more than 12 returns in the rack ?

THANKS

random tip: compression then reverb = compressed signal with natural, simple sounding reverb. reverb then compression = compressed sound with dynamic, smooshy reverb that reacts to the signal. both are good!

Nice one! Cheers Becky!
