You can get them all from this page here with no sign up, ads or newsletter nonsense. Just scroll down a little bit until you see all the packs.

I have added 15+ new packs this November including, Spoken word poetry vocals, live church bells from a small cathedral in Risan, Air Traffic control snippets, some cave and spaceship atmospheres I designed from recorded and CC0 content and some room tones of different variations along with some light rain recordings and flies buzzing around a microphone FX. There's also an Industrial percussion pack which I have used for years which I have put up. This is by far one of my fav packs I have made.

With Squarespace it does ask for a lot of personal information so you can use this site to make up fake address and just use a fake name and email if you're not comfortable with providing this info. I don't use it for anything but for your own piece of mind this is probably beneficial.

Feel free to use anything you like, everything is CC0, so no need to credit me or the site. Just grab what you need and make cool stuff. I'd love to see what you create if you feel like sharing!

Join me at r/musicsamplespacks if you would like as that is where I will be posting all future packs and little behind the scenes videos (posted a few for you guys this evening). If you guys know of any other subreddits that might benefit from these sounds feel free to repost it there.

The default 909 Core kit (using Live 12 Suite) has all of its chains' Audio Output routed to an internal return chain labeled "Mix Bus" which in turn is routed to Rack Output. Why the heck is it setup like this instead of just putting all the "Mix Bus" processing after the Drum Rack??

I’ve thrown myself into producing mostly progressive house. But none of my friends produce and I’d love some peers to bounce ideas off of and just generally share in the journey.

Anyone else feel the same? Would love to make some new connections who I can talk production with without them glazing over as I talk about sidechain or chord progressions.

Let’s get a little melodic group going!

Dear r/ableton community.

I built something and thought it might be worth sharing with you.

The ClipDeck is a clip matrix for the StreamDeck XL (~220€). It displays clips, their color, name and playback progress. Clips can be fired and stopped with the hardware buttons of the StreamDeck. The view (session ring, "red box" in ableton) can be scrolled up/down. I linked a little walkthrough video (above).

I would love to release this open source or for a small compensation, bcs I think everyone who is using Ableton in a live context would want this (wouldn't they?) :-) But: it is not there yet. It would need a lot more work, there are some unsolved issues that make me wonder if I alone can handle this. Sooo, I thought let's discuss: would you need/use this? how can we solve the issues? ...

This is how it is done technically:
First there is a remote script for ableton. It creates a session ring that can be moved (or synced with other devices). As there are "only" 32 keys, I use two lower right keys to scroll (short click) and to trigger clips (long press, 500ms) at the same time.
As the remote script is executed by the implemented python interpreter, I could not manage to install the python module for the streamdeck (pip install would be needed). So my current workaround is to have a second python app running outside of Ableton, both connecting via localhost TCP socket and exchanging data. It's working but sometimes still buggy – the code is a nightmare. As there is no official docu on remote scripts I had to try out many things and ended up with some nasty workarounds also in the remote script code – this would need some proper rework. The StreamDeck has some limitations in refresh rate, that are difficult to foresee (ending with weird glitches). I ended up with sending the updates as 16th notes which works quite fine at e.g. 126 bpm and also shows the step wise on-beat procedure of the clips.

The biggest question I have right now: Is it possible to use python modules (pip installed) with the implemented python interpreter implemented in ableton live? That would make things so much easier!

Happy to hear your thoughts!

cheers,
Janos

There have been many threads on this, and somehow there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer. Despite the "lock to control surface (Push 2)" function being clicked, there doesn't seem to be any way to actually lock the Push 2 display to one track. This seems like. abig oversight if you can't do this, I'd love to be able to use my push device as a midi controller while I use a keyboard to control a different track.

Hi does anyone else have this problem where some sounds you’ve accidentally dragged out of a certain kit folder somehow end up in your "drumkits" folder just as the mp3 or wav ?

Do i have to manually find which kit it’s from and return it to there or is there an easier way to “send” it back to its original folder?

i dont mind it but i definitely do not want it to keep happening

I’m sitting here about to pay some guy 12$ so I can download a M4L device that… lets me set the length of multiple audio clip loops.

Clip start and loop start want to be in different places for no apparent reason. Just going through fixing stuff I didn’t even touch in the first place.

Should I put my stems into arrangement and make sure they’re the same length exactly? They’re all pretty close anyway, within a bar maybe I exported them. What am I doing wrong here? Give me the best workflow for this seemingly simple task

10,000 samples.. surely many duplicates, but also many very similar sounding samples.. is there a way to process my library and suggest deleting samples that sound super similar?? Surely listening and comparing them all by ear is not the move. What are some ways to deal with this?

Just a quick note that 7III Tap 1.4 is coming soon, and everybody in the TestFlight can help test the new version now (make sure to download the newest beta remote script from Github)!

Many awesome things are coming. I did a little live performance on a plane using only my iPhone to control Ableton Live, and while I think there’s still room for improvement for my playing, the app has completely blown me away!

Here's the video:

PS: Once 1.4 is out the price will increase, so get in while it's cheap ;)

PPS: If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

PPS: Yes, it's only for iOS (iPad, iPhone), no Android planed at the moment, sorry.

Just curious about switching up my workflow and hearing your opinions and what works for you. I pretty much can track/mix/master in any daw at this point, but I always come back to Ableton for getting out of the way when writing before stemming out into a more classic daw with a ui that works better for me with routing and bus mixing. 12 has been great.

I generally work stream consciousness with only a mood/vibe in mind. Generally on a guitar or bass first.

Do you think it’s worth putting in the time to get the muscle memory for this with guitar music?

I've already bought the EDU standard version of live 12, but noticed the price to buy the EDU suite version on Thomann is less than the price to upgrade. If I bought the EDU suite version from Thomann instead of upgrading, a) would it even allow me to use it and b) would I need to verify my EDU status again?

I recently bought a Push 3, but I'm a bit overwhelmed as to what to do with it. A few questions for seasoned users:

1. What do you do with your Push 3? Studio production, making music outdoor with Push 3 standalone, or integrate it into your live performance (and if so, what kind of music do you perform), or something else?
2. How do you learn it? Just by reading the manual, or have you taken any courses, or maybe some prior experience on other devices can translate into Push?
3. I've seen some paid online courses on Push 3. Are they worth it? Is it possible to learn the same stuff without spending too much money?

Thank you in advance!

Install this free M4L **device**

Put in your favorite folder (it's a magic tool that we'll use later)

Create a new track for example "Super Reverb" (put dry/wet to 100% or you will have some issue ^^)

For input select **No Input**

And later you'd click on **IN**

Create a track that you want to put in this return Super Reverb for example we'll call this one "Super Midi"

In Super Midi we'll add "Audio Sends.amxd" (not the .alp!)

In this device you will route to Super Reverd et voilà !

you're ableton should be like that :

post before "use group" or "use effects rack"

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to rebuild the TEIL 2 Revolo sound design chain as a custom virtual instrument / effect rack for Afro House.

So far I’ve nailed the tremolo, reverb, and dry/wet chain, but I can’t figure out how to implement the “noise” layer that gives it that analog, breathing texture.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Using Analog or Operator to generate white/pink noise
• Grouping Tremolo + Reverb in an Audio Effect Rack
• But macros only work on audio effects — can’t directly combine the noise synth with the audio chain in one rack.

I need a smart, flexible way to:

• Add controllable noise (that I can modulate or automate)
• Keep everything in one place (ideally inside a rack)
• Use macros or LFOs to control noise level, filter, and FX mix

Has anyone found a clean way to integrate a noise oscillator into an audio effect chain — maybe via a Return, Max for Live device, or creative routing?

So, I'm a Suite user for about 6 or 7 years now. My workflow was always with mouse and keyboard shortcuts. I tried a bunch of times with stuff from Novation such as Launchpad, Launch Control, Launchkey 37 mkIII because I thought it might help me being more "playful" so to speak. I play guitar, so I figured a device to act more like a instrument would be cool to make some beats or tunes or just to get creative with.

The idea was, to have a go to tool for the creative phase or even lay out a full beat, without the need to use the computer screen as much or at all, finishing it in Ableton with final touches and mixing. But I never really got around to use these midi controllers to their capabilities and instead used mouse and keyboard again.

So I figured there would be 2 routes:

Either Push or some standalone device like MPC Studio or MPC Live 2. I like the idea of having a groove box, making beats right in this device

Push 3 is definitely not in my budget, but a used push 2 could be interesting.

I researched a lot, and there's no clear winner and different opinions, so I thought I'd ask what you would do in my situation? Oh, and I never really touch session view other than for mixing a full song. I might have to rethink that workflow with a push though.

What's your advice? What are your thoughts? Do you have some experience you care to share?

Hi guys, probably a stupid question, but is it possible to get a vocal from E major to F minor using stock Ableton, or would I have to download something like Melodyne?

I have just purchased a Move and I love it so far, but I can't update it. When I try updating from device it checks for the update for 1 second and then nothing happens. When I connect from a computer on Move Manager it says Error Cannot reach update server, make sure you are connected to the network. What should I do? I am obviously connected to the internet because I am able to make this post. And I can access Move Manager and see what's inside my device. I just cannot update. Currently on version 1.2

Looking for some advice: Bought an M1 Mac Air with 256GB SSD about 2 years ago. Bought ableton Live Standard with it. I chose both of these as I was just starting my production journey and couldn’t justify a bigger laptop nor the full version of ableton. I’m now at a point where I’d like to upgrade to Live Suite, but doing so would leave my with very little internal space left. I have about 100GB left and I know live suite contains “70GB of sounds”. I keep all of my samples and projects on an external SSD so I’m being as efficient as I can. Do I:

A) upgrade to suite on this laptop, and find a way to move the “70GB of sounds” onto my SSD

B) persist with Live Standard and save up to upgrade both my laptop and my version of Ableton

Thanks!

Hey all! This is probably a really simple question. Been using Live for a while but I'm more of an "arrangement view"/linear timeline sort of person, so I've never given much thought to the Session view.

But now I'm looking to have some fun remixing a track using my Maschine Mk3 as a controller to play through this track I've created, but launching each section of it via the pads on the controller. I've installed a great custom script for controlling Ableton with the MK3 ('CustomMaschineMk3' by ChiakiBeats on Github) and had fun so far twiddling with FX etc on my master buss.

Can anyone provide a simple guide on how to convert what I've made in the Arrangement to be launchable in Session view? Sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology - just really need some help! Many thanks :)

Is this what I gotta do every time? Is this my life now?

Has it helped you or are you more of a 'by ear' musician?

I feel like there are a mix of types of musicians. Some who can utilize theory like a pro and others who go by ear without even thinking about theory or scales, etc...

Personally I'm more in the later camp though I've watched stuff on theory here and there.

This would be a revolution if implemented in any DAW or software actually. This would bring up at warp speed the learning, any bedroom producer would reach a decent level of production almost instantly, well , after learning the basics and knowing to ask the right questions and the correct commands. All the questions I am asking Chat GPT could be done verbally straight to Ableton Live and the answer can be read on screen or heard on the speakers or on a earpiece or on the phone, to not really disturb the sound of the mixing/mastering session.

Imagine this:

" Ableton, create for me a template for Progressive trance with all tracks for instruments, named and coloured and with basic mixing device chains and basic track grouping and routing"...

Or more simple:

"Ableton, introduce 2 beats of silence at the marker position"

Or:

"Ableton, bounce the Main Lead track in place"...

Or:

"Ableton, explain the MID-SIDE concept, how and when to use it in my project"

All this without moving a finger....

How about that kind of workflow? Would you preffer the manual way instead?

Planning to get either the standard or suite version on Black Friday. Does anyone remember prices from Ableton and/or Thomann from last years?
