Using the Envelope Follower in Ableton Live (or the peak controller in FL Studio) can unlock some powerful and advanced processing options to make your music sound better. These free tools save you time and deliver better results when compared to alternative methods with multiple plugins, parameter adjustments and routing.
I also show you how to automate 3rd party plugins in Ableton and use the Peak Controller in FL Studio.
One of the songs used in my video is La La Land by Kennedy Wilde (available on all platforms)
