Lesson 012: Omni routing

Written by Admin on April 26th, 2010


Make the most of your CPU power. With multi channel instruments you only need one instance to load several instruments. Here I’m demonstrating using Omnisphere as an example. Presented in 720p using Ableton Live 8. Best viewed in HD. www.airbasemusic.com

    hey Jezper, when will the next tutorial come?

  2. twibakmusic says:

    What would you do without beloved Omnisphere :) Great tutorials jesper.

  3. kb1629 says:

    Hej Jezper. Thanks for you great tutorials including this one! That is a nice way to have more individual sounds from Omnisphere. There is even a simpler way though. You can use Ableton Live’s “external instrument”-device on a midi track and that can be configured to send midi as well as reveive audio from different instruments in Omnisphere. Thanks again and cheers from Finland.

    realy????? :D cool thx mate.. another lesson learned

  7. atomicjoeofficial says:

    @marcoNLD
    well actually you CAN automate the Omnisphere!!!

    just select the button you want to automate and right click en select ‘Enable Host Automation’
    after that you just do the rest the regular way!!

  8. marcoNLD says:

    Just installed omnisphere and youre right. you cant midi map the effects in omnisphere. seems ableton doesnt connect to the plugin. same for guitar rig 4. you cant use the configure button there aswell. Nexus on the other hand does let you midi map its knobs for automation… NICE PLUGIN THOUGH :-P

    @ simonkaey
    check out the Korg nanoKEY (I and many others think it feels cheap tho)
    or check out one that I use, Akai LPK25 (better than nanoKEY imo and same price)

    Hello Jezper!!
    Greetings from Poland!!
    Can you make a tutorial about “how to set final level of each channel and level of volume in master” to make the demo material have appropriate level of sound and also the final result to be more professional?
    p.s. sorry for my english :)

    Hi there Jezper !

    Have you ever thought of making tutorial not about technical side of creating music, but also about music theory ?
    I don’t mean ‘a full mega tutorial’ but just basics.
    You know… What shall a producer do first, create a melody or bassdrums. What knowledge about music does a producer need. How to write a melody etc. And of course how did you learn this all… ? Just some advices. I hope you get my point. And if you ever had time to share this, I would be grateful for ages.

  15. MakissTV says:

    What midi keyboard do you use then ?
    What would you suggest to someone who wants to buy one ? :P

  16. mandokir says:

    In FL just enable multi-outs in the plugin wrapper and then assign the main instrument to a mixer track. In the plug-in select a different letter output as show in this video and the signal is sent to adjacent mixer tracks automatically.

  17. johnseoulkr says:

    Hi Jezper,
    Can you please teach me how you route your ableton to a mixing desk/console for a mixdown? do you need any external hardware for the routing?
