Exploring Ableton's Creative Extensions
Рет қаралды 137,091
6 жыл бұрын**NOTE: The Creative Extensions will also work with Live Standard with MaxForLive installed.
--------------------
Ableton have just released Creative Extensions, a set of MaxForLive device that extend the creative possibilities of Ableton Live Suite.
► www.ableton.com/en/blog/now-l...
I took some time to explore the devices and discover creative uses for them. Although the names suggest particular uses, what I discovered is that each device is capable of far more than it might initially seem.

Live never fails to surprise me, which is why I love it so much 😃 Even features and functions that I've been using for years I'll one day just be playing around and realise, 'Hey, I've never thought I could use it like that!'. Finding the tools you use to make music inspiring is such an important thing and Live certainly excels at that. There's a lifetime of play and discovery in there 🤓

Yeah, it's a very similar concept. Crystalliser is actually basically the same as Live's Grain Delay, just with a few more controls and modulation options. You can get pretty much exactly the same sounds as Crystalliser using Grain Delay and a few MaxForLive LFOs and Shapers 🙃

Hello! Thanks for the great video! How did you get the melodic steps after the drum kit? (I suspect it's somehow part of a rack but I haven't learnt those yet!)
@ELPHNT Жыл бұрын
You are correct - its just nested within the Drum Rack. I'd recommend reading up/watching some videos about how Drum Racks work, because they're pretty powerful! If you want to go really in depth, this is a good place to start: www.ableton.com/en/manual/instrument-drum-and-effect-racks/

@FelixDegenaar 6 жыл бұрын
Sounds great! Although adding a color limiter after you're randomized the velocities in the drum track kind of negates that 'humanizing' effect... Yes, the sound is better with the limiter on, but there's noticeably less dynamic range.
@ELPHNT 6 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed there will be less dynamic range but if you listen its not really negating the effect of the randomised Velocities, it still has the same humanised feel. You'll even see that the Colour Limiter is only actually applying Gain Reduction when the kicks hit so the level of the hi-hats isn't really being compressed at all, although their tonality is being affected by the saturation component of the Colour Limiter.
@FelixDegenaar 6 жыл бұрын
ah yes, you're right.

All these plug-ins and sequencers are / were previously available on Max4Live.Com, that too for years ... Repackaging old tricks and plugs is OK, However Ableton as a software is basically done-with - without Max4Live it's just another DAW.
@anonymousbrowser4448 6 жыл бұрын
The big issue i have with max for live is the added latency. No matter the device, it's not compensated for. Just try adding a device and resample it to compare it with the dry sound. You'll see the dry sound in time and the max for live one behind. I'm honestly really surprised no one seems to notice/care. Coming from fl studio and comparing the max for live envelope follower to the fruity peak controller made me angry because it doesn't work as advertised. I tried sidechaining with it and it's delayed and has clicks etc.. I hope this gets fixed someday

That's pretty great! I recently got Clouds in my rack and pitch hack seems to provide similar granular synthesis features - sounds really awesome, by the way.

Thank you, mate!
