the beautiful (hidden) ableton stock instrument

[@JjVa20]

Even if you are not going to use any of these tools just watching him explaining the processes and listening to what he's making fills you with ideas and puts you into this "atmosphere of creativity". It's beautiful

[@edbid1]

If you are using vst3 for ShaperBox, you can save the presets as .vstpreset files, for vst2 you can save them within audio effect racks. :)

[@VirtualRiot]

Thank you I'll have a look at this! Audio-Effect rack might be the way haha.

[@ShadzMusic]

Of course VR would post a "stock ableton" hack and then give a deep dive into shaperbox time BEFORE giving out a rack that turns the dry "kalimba" at 8:05 to an omnisphere level preset at 9:58. These videos inspire the hell out of me and I look forward to all of them

[@HustonSingletary]

Ableton's Electric is a wonderful sounding instrument that quietly sits under the radar a bit and has tons of flexibility. I enjoyed creating so many stock Ableton Live presets with it over my years with the company that can be found in Live 8 through Live 11. Great video as always with so many awesome tips and tricks 😄

Such pretty sounding kalimbas, with all those effects and macros I could imagine a Lo-fi track that's constantly evolving with automation. Looking forward to trying this out soon once I finally upgrade from Standard to Suite. Also I can't wait for your next releases, I'm excited to see if I can recognize any of the sound design techniques and audio effects you've been teaching us. You're the absolute goat man, thanks again for blessing us with your wisdom.

[@official_zalent]

when you upgrade, do you just have to pay all the price for suite? or just the difference to standard?

[@nembutsu1045]

@@official_zalent I'm pretty sure you pay the difference, you dont buy suite for the whole price when upgrading

[@bubbabro]

@@official_zalent I believe it's just the difference because it's based on which audio effects/instruments are in which package, I got most of the audio effects and about half of the instruments with Standard. Although it won't let me upgrade to Suite until Live 12 releases because I get a free upgrade to Live 12 Standard once it drops.

Thanks for amazing video! btw: I see that his Trigger channel is delayed by -5 ms. Can anybody explain why it needs this delay time? I see it in all of his videos that there's a delay. I know the track is used for triggering sidechain.

[@oikosounds]

Placing a negative delay on a track will in effect delay all other tracks by that amount. It works as "look ahead" time for the devices that receive the trigger, such that they can react immediately. Useful for exact ducking.

[@hvh_music]

nice! Thanks for the reply. does it work for anything? like you can use shaperbox or stock compressor and works the same way?@@oikosounds

[@oikosounds]

@@hvh_music yes. In this video he is sending the trigger to Shaperbox, but it would work the same if you picked the trigger as your source in a sidechain selector for a compressor or similar. Again, note that you introduce 5 ms latency.
