Hi guys - I made a mistake with the 2022 Ableton Template I gave you all that needs fixing. That being said, rather than simply fixing it and saying nothing, the problem gives us a valuable lesson in working with mixing "true to sound" during the creation process.
I will also be updating the 2022 Ableton Template post with the reprimanded version for any newcomers to the Patreon.
My apologies - hope this didn't mess anyone up too badly!

i also have for you guys a drastically updated sound presets folder! i've been filling this guy up with all sorts of good sounds over the last however long. the sounds in here are great for all genres, i really think you'll love em.
****NOTE: if for whatever reason you load any of them and they do not produce sound - look for the dimension expander and disable it. that will likely fix the issue!
