There’s a drop-based filter just like in Auto Filter, and it sounds great as always. You get 4 oscillators (each with their own envelope) that can be configured in 11 FM setups with a simple MIDI modulation matrix. My competitive nature got the best of me and I spent more time with Collision (trying to prove that it wasn’t useless, I lost), but Operator is just an unbelievable amount of fun. Operator is the most addictive thing that exists in any DAW. It doesn’t produce much of a useful sound after all of your effort anyway. I can’t even express indifference or say something like “It’s not great, but it’s a unique addition”. Aliasing is audible with more ‘pure’ sine-like sounds. It doesn’t sound like aliasing, but it’s not pleasant. Higher frequency notes have a weird distorted characteristic to them. I couldn’t even get it to sound like a marimba myself or by tuning presets. Everything sounds like a wine glass or a marimba with slight variation between the two. I spent more time with Collision than any other synth in Live during this review and I got the fewest usable results.

There’s two Corpuses that are fed by a exciter and noise. If Analog wasn’t a good example of how flawed Live’s device panel is as a concept, then Collision surely will convince you. More paged screens and another wash of knobs and slider boxes. Mallet percussion! What every music producer needs. Putting these nicer views a click away just adds to the inefficiency of using Ableton Live. The transfer curve and gain reduction views are significantly more useful. My only real complaint is that the default display is the collapsed mode.

The selectable patch point for the sidechains and is a wonderful addition. Setting up an external side chain is incredibly easy, though it is really annoying to select the track from a giant menu when you have a large project. There are four parametric filter types available that can be applied to an external sidechain. The availability of linear or logarithmic releases is a very welcomed switch that allows you to create very smooth linear compression or extreme fast release logarithmic compression.Ĭompressor really shines when using it as a side chaining tool, where the optional knee, look ahead, envelopes and the design of the attack make it an impressive sidechaining compressor. It might be successful but for people that know what they’re doing it is more than annoying to have only half of the knob ratios above 2. The ratio being set to 2:1 at 50% of the knob is a bit annoying, and I assume some sort of ploy to reduce ‘over-compression’ in music. CabinetĬompressor does not sound particularly fantastic in the peak or RMS modes, but it is a competent compression tool with a fantastic user interface. Think of all the music that’s been made instead of fooling around splitting/moving items around. It’s made an incredibly popular effect, that used to take ages of hand editing, available to even the most novice of producers.Ī lot of people may think that Beat the Repeat is a plague upon modern electronic music, but I think it’s really cool that you can use such a creative effect in a subtle manner or in a unique manner without needing to spend a ridiculous amount of time creating the effect by hand. I don’t think that Ableton Live would be what it is now without Beat Repeat. It can be used in a subtle fashion to add slight variation to drumbeats, or used on a wide variety of sources for that popular stuttering effect. The pitch can be changed, increasing in effect with repetitions by an amount.īeat Repeat is incredibly fun to use. Future updates may render some of this information invalid.īeat Repeat is quite possibly the most overused effect in Ableton Live.īeat Repeat samples a buffer of audio and then repeats parts of the buffer at a specific spacing, offset and with a chance for the effect to occur overall.

I had to write some software to take, crop and fix the corners. review the native effects included with Live.īefore I start here I ask one thing of you: be impressed with my screenshots.
