Best Third Party Mix Plugins for Ableton Live?
Ableton's stock plugins are amazing, yet, Ableton doesn't feature all plugins (yet). And sometimes you just need more sound coloring options. In this video I'll list a few of my favorite plugins, and I'll show you why you may need them.

    Hello.. Thanks for the video!! I can get the full Midi dump in the DAW, but I cannot send it back to the 2x, see the outbound Midi, but no change on the 2x.. Using Sysex Librarian. One question, what might I be missing? (a vet here thinking it is a hardware issue, until I have a solution hehe) - Thanks, Ableton user..😄

      Maybe you could try to change the global MIDI channel to 16. Also try it out in performance mode instead of program mode. I don't have a 2x, and can't find much about it in the manual unfortunately.

    Have you tried Analog Obsession plugins? I've never really used commercial emulated analog mixing plugins b/c AO suit me so well. Comper is more or less the only compressor i use - it has opto, FET, and VCA modes in both of its stages. (I like serial compression - fast for transient control then slow for glue and loudness - for bus processing.)

    Instead of mixing the noise in to the audio out, you can mix it with any of the envelopes, eg on the pitch or cutoff. The DFAM does this kind of thing. I've had good results using red noise as a modulation source for lots of things. So many fun variations. I love patching.

    I bought those Waves plugins back in 1997 when I was doing lots of audio processing for very early streaming of radio drama content through QuickTime. Now I am very happy with what VCV Rack is able to add as an all-purpose multi-tool plugin for audio processing. In the past 3 months I've been making a sincere effort to transition over to Bitwig as I love the modulation workflow and the sound overall seems very clean and quick to work with.

    This title is misguided. The way monitor works was documented before and it's been said for decades the way to record synced machines was with monitor off on the recording track. Only newbies not bothering to learn Live suffered. The reason monitor on works differently is because there is always some latency and this affects how people play, i e they play "ahead" in order to make the playing sound in time. This way what comes back recorded sounds exactly as when played in. Naturally machines don't react to latency this way, which is why monitor off works differently. The new feature Keep Latency on and off in Live 12 addresses this. If Ableton is to be blamed for anything it's for not making this more clear. But it's all in the manual and in forum responses.

    @lancemezh6345 17 дней назад

    So this keep latency function is not applicable to software instruments , right? To Confirm, I should only turn it off for: vocal recordings, hardware instrument recordings And the final Track Delay negative value, I see you apply that to the midi track. How would I go about routing this for a vst midi? I notice that when I flatten a MIDI track with Track Delay, I don’t see the change. So I want to route this midi to a separate audio track, yes? Thanks

    • @optoproductions
      @optoproductions 17 дней назад

      Good questions, if you're resampling audio and use a lot of plugins, then turning 'keep latency' off, should make a difference. For vocal recordings I would use hardware monitoring if you have that and just turn monitoring off in Ableton, but if you don't then you could turn 'keep latency' off. You can apply track delay to an instrument track too. When you freeze an instrument track, it won't embed the track delay in the audio file, but it copies the track delay over to the newly created audio track.

    • @lancemezh6345

      Latency is always a part of digital audio systems, so that's present in all DAWs. The problem this update solves is that recordings are now corrected in time, while before they weren't. The only issue with Ableton is that sidechain inputs or plugins that sync to transport aren't latency compensated.
