In this one-of-a-kind tutorial you'll see how an audio master like Olav pushes himself ever harder to extract more impact from those micro musical moments where it really counts. You'll also see how he has an acute eye and ear for every nuance, every step along the way. Olav even shows you all his favorite third party plugins and, best of all, he explais why and how he likes to use them.

This Ableton Live tutorial is revolutionary because it's an exclusive, inside look into the way a true experienced pro does his everyday work. What really puts Remixing in Live over the top is the way that Olav gives you a front row seat as he shows you the inner workings ...the real arcana ... of why he does what he does throughout the whole song construction journey!

Another interesting tutorial that is worth spending the time. It turned out that I expected a completely other approach but this straight forward one,

Shows you how to creatively and quickly remix a complete track from just a few basic elements, with pro-sounding cut and polish. Some nice ideas for vox/FX and as always with Olav, a lot of fun. 3>

Great tutorial. Olav builds a song (remix of his own) from beginning to end. I enjoy his creation process, but he uses some 3rd party plugins that I didn't have, although I was able to get the demos. He also gives lots of tips and tricks to help you out in your own creation process.

I have a few of Olavs tutorials,and although I have only viewed this one only once,its another excellent one. The overall tutorial was very good As I mentioned in my other reviews,I can take away some of the tips and techniques in this Remixing tutorial and apply some of those. Although I don't remix, as a rule,I have some old bit of tracks,I would like to revive,so this video,has given me lots of ideas. Olav does a great job in remixing this track of his,lots of detail,and great explanations throughout. A definite recommendation for all those with tracks that need the kiss of life.

Olav, thnx a lot for Remixing in Live! Lots of tips and tricks: form and structure, reverb builds up, transition, using envelopes and groups, and more ... wow! I feel really inspired. Don't have to say I'm gonna watch this again to better understand the philosophy of the art of remixing.

I must say I am a bit dissapointed with this tutorial. For me it was hard because he did things his own way, and I was not able to follow along. A lot of us don't have an easy remix pack like he does, and we have to chop things up, and add eq to tracks just to prepare the to be remix. I think this could have been a lot better.
