A quick DAW tip of the day to make your projects lighter (works with Ableton Live at least)
Added 2020-12-29 17:24:15 +0000 UTCWanted to share this quickie – I know it may obvious to some, but I didn't think of this until quite late in my productions.
1) Group the devices on the track (this creates a "rack")
2) Automate the rack to be on only when it's being used.
I do this heavily (sorry for the ironic pun!) these days, and as I use lots of different instruments and plugins in a project, I've found this can keep the project lighter – because devices are only on when actually needed!
PS: This kind of applies to Ableton Live's native plugins automatically: when there's no processing, they don't consume CPU. That's why they feel so light!
