And while many sound packs and virtual instruments are top-class, others are lacking in quality. It’s for this reason that there’s a huge amount of Ableton Live sample packs, loops and software instruments designed specifically for Live and its users, which lets creators expand their sonic palette, find inspiration quickly, and get great-sounding results quickly.īut, because there is so much content out there, it’s sometimes hard to find the stuff that really stands out. However, Ableton + Native Instruments (Komplete) is a killer combo, too.Enter into the World of Ableton Sample Packs!Ībleton Live has been a staple for electronic music production for over 10 years and, along with the likes of FL Studio and Pro Tools, is among the most commonly used software applications found in the music studio. Call me crazy, but Native Instruments stuff drives me nuts. I much prefer Ableton + Omnisphere over Native Instruments stuff. But if I were to buy Live packs, I'd stick to the drums and percussion. As for third party stuff (and Live Packs), I'd probably spend my money elsewhere. As said earlier, some stuff in the library ain't so hot, and some of it is excellent. I know there's other plugins that can do this, but Ableton's Convolution Reverb Pro has my favourite interface of any reverb plugin, and the quality is excellent.Īs with anything else, I think Live Suite is worth it. You can also create or load in your own impulses. If you are just starting with line you will not miss M4L.If Max4Live only included the Convolution Reverb tool, it would still be worth it.Ībleton's convolution reverb is excellent, and you need Max4Live to run it. Only cool thing might be M4L but even that is not worth the Suite price.
What comes with Suite is very dated sounds. You have a lot better synths and sounds already. I put an article up on my site featuring Five Live Packs You're Missing Out On if anybody's interested.Īny suggestions or warnings as far as good or bad Live Packs go? Has anyone tried out Apocalypse Percussion Elements or Analogic Waves? Those both look sexy as hell. I mean, they sound good, but hardly any of the sounds are usable for chiptunes or video game music. It's like they took a lot of retro computer/console samples and over-processed them until they sounded shiny and new. What is advertised as being a great Live Pack for creating chiptunes and retro video game-esque music is actually very modern sounding. It gave me a renewed appreciation for Tension and taught me a lot about sound design using a physical modeling string synthesizer.Īnother purchase I made recently that was not quite as positive was for Retro Computers, by Puremagnetik. Please share your Live Pack experiences, both good and bad, in this thread.Ī relatively recent purchase I made was for Entangled Species, by AAS.
Some of them are game changers and some of them, well, not so much. There is an ever-expanding number of Live Packs.
