If you’re just getting started with Max for Live, Ableton’s Max for Live Essentials Pack is something you should take a look at. I also think that the majority of people reading this list will find these useful. There are plenty of Max for Live devices out there, but this list contains the ones I find to add the most significant functionality to my Ableton sessions. It adds crucial information otherwise not found in Ableton. This is an excellent device to put on your master channel and save as part of your default preset. Considering this suite of meters sells for $1, it provides unmatched value. It contains a peak meter, phase correlation meter, LUFS meter, Momentary Max LUFS meter, RMS meter, and Max dB meter. There are tons of metering suites out there, but this one is compact and provides an essential collection of data. There’s another Max for Live device called LFO that is a simplified version of Shaper, but it lets you select a Rate of 0 to 40 Hz, and provides easy access to basic LFO shapes like sine waves, triangle waves, and saw waves. Mapping Shaper to the filter of a synth like Wavetable, or to one of Operator’s carriers, will let you create beautiful, organic sounds. Depth controls the intensity this effect will have on the target parameter and Offset will shift the waveform up or down, causing the affected parameter to oscillate around a shifted center point.Īdding depth, and life into inorganic sounds can often prove to be challenging, but using an LFO can solve this issue. Shaper’s Rate controls how quickly the waveform cycles, and allows you to select between 0 and 10 Hz. An LFO is a waveform that cycles very slowly and is used to alter other parameters. This is the type of device that you would use if you wanted to affect a parameter in the same way, repeatedly, over time. Shaper lets you control any parameter in Ableton using an LFO (low-frequency oscillator). These parameters will allow you to dial in Envelope Follower’s settings and create impressive automation effects. The controls available in Envelope Follower include Gain, Rise, Fall, and Delay. You can assign Envelope Follower to up to 8 parameters in Ableton, at varying Min and Max depths. I’m sure your mind is now racing thinking of all the things you can do with it. This is a basic use for this device, but it demonstrates what it’s capable of. This would cause all the tracks to rise and fall along with the volume envelope of the lead instrument/vocal. If you have multiple instruments in a song playing the same part, but you want them to rise and fall together more harmoniously, you could apply Envelope Shaper to the main track, and then map it to the Gain knob of a utility on the other tracks that are playing along with it. Ableton enables you to map almost any parameter, so there are a tremendous number of things you can do with this device. Envelope FollowerĮnvelope Follower is a Max for Live Device that lets you analyze the volume envelope of a track, and use the recorded envelope profile to affect other parameters in Ableton. Adding this device to your arsenal is a great way to step up your ability to mix in Ableton.
ABLETON LIVE BLACK FRIDAY 2021 UPGRADE
It’s essentially a free upgrade to one of Ableton’s weakest audio devices, so it’s definitely worth checking out. In my opinion, Convolution Reverb is substantially better than Ableton’s stock Reverb.
ABLETON LIVE BLACK FRIDAY 2021 MOD
It includes a 3-band EQ, a Pos tab that allows you to position the reverb in the stereo field, a Mod tab that applies modulation, a Damp tab that will enable you to control how the reverb is dampened, and a Shape tab that will allow you to manage the dimensions of the modeled room. On top of providing the typical controls you’d find on a reverb like Decay, Size, and Predelay, Convolution Reverb includes even more controls.
Convolution reverbs are usually quite expensive, but there’s a free one available as a Max for Live device called Convolution Reverb.Ĭonvolution Reverb comes with a vast number of presets. This is done by firing off sine waves, and recording how they interact with the space.
Convolution reverbs are modeled after real-world spaces.
