Building your own audio effect racks allows you to make your own effects combos that are tailored to your performance. Today, Alex Lee, shares one of his own custom effect racks, \u201cnoisy transition\u201d that creates sidechained white noise perfect for transitions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SnOCdCkhCdo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>What Does \u201cNoisy Transition\u201d Do?<\/p>\n<p>The effect takes the noise from the song itself and mixes it with noise from Ableton\u2019s Erosion device. This combination of elements combines to create sidechained noise that can act as a bridge between tracks of varying key or even BPM.<\/p>\n<p>The technique itself is pretty simple: Allow the effect rack to capture a loop of the track you\u2019re playing, then use the output from the rack as a bridge. The effect in itself is pretty neat and allows you some time between tracks to layer in extra percussion or setup your next synth loop.<\/p>\n<p>The effect is very easy to make your own and enables a DJ to add their own creative edge to a transition. One can decide how long they\u2019d like their transition to be, or bring in a drum machine on top of it, or use filters to create a build-up.<\/p>\n<p>What Effects Do You Need?<\/p>\n<p>Here are the devices that are used to create the noisy transition effect:<\/p>\n<p>Audio Effect Rack \u2013 This is where you combine the effects<br \/>\nEQ 8 \u2013 Used to cut out all the bass and mids of the track<br \/>\nBeat Repeat \u2013 Captures a 1\/32 endless loop of the track to help mix out<br \/>\nErosion \u2013 Generates noise based on incoming audio. Use \u201cNoisy\u201d and \u201cHiss\u201d presets<br \/>\nOverdrive \u2013 Used to distort the noise<br \/>\nCompressor \u2013 Helps to tame the noise and prevents it from getting too loud<br \/>\nPump Me \u2013 A macro effect that gives you that classic sidechain pumping effect from 4live.me<\/p>\n<p>Using The Noisy Transition Rack<\/p>\n<p>To start using the effect simply place the noisy transition rack on a return track. To make the most out of this effect rack there are some key parameters that should be mapped. Here are the recommended parameters:<\/p>\n<p>Return track volume fader \u2013 To mix the noise from the effect rack in\/out<br \/>\nBeat Repeat On\/Off \u2013 Trigger an endless loop to help mix out<br \/>\nSend Knob \u2013 Adjust the amount of audio input feeding the effect rack<br \/>\nAlex was kind enough to share the effect rack so you can download it and start playing with the effect right away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">One of the advantages of using Ableton for live performance is the wide range of effects and the ability to combine these effects into custom audio effect racks.
