Ableton Tutorial: Powerful Stock Max For Live Devices You Should Be Using

[@joewheelar]

Came for the devices, stayed for the freedom horn.

[@AishawithanEye]

The squirrel plugin was a nice treat in the middle.

[@AishawithanEye]

Ugh. Too bad I didn't timestamp it. I just got the like on it and was like, "Squirrel plugin? That sounds great!" and now I can't find it. :(

[@jinba8352]

Just realized this can be used as a meme plugin for tiktok haha

[@DaddaPsy]

@@AishawithanEye 12:12 is the time stamp for squirrel plugin

[@CounternoiseMusic]

Barely half way through watching this and already I almost can't hold myself back to try this out. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@JamesBermingham]

Super demo. 👍 Just discovered your channel. Great Ableton live vids

[@RussArteaga]

Dang man. Great viddy! Learned a ton from this. I haven’t had time to delve into the M4L stuff as I only upgraded to Suite a few months ago. This coming from a Live user since 2.0

[@PilzE.]

Stunning, who knew, well, apart from Slynk! So buzzed to have discovered your lil' slice of KZbin, of course I bloody sub'd!!!

[@HeathHolme]

Nice one Slynk - 'Max for Live' is such a dope & powerful extension of Ableton Live 😊 A little tip that you can do with the 'Max For Live' Audio effects such as, Shaper, Envelope Follower, LFO is Map them to other tracks in your project. You don't have to only MAP them to effects or instrument parameters on the channel they're inserted..For example - Why not put a Max Envelope follower on a shaker loop & have that shaker loop's envelope control the filter freq on your synth, on another track! You can then if you like, mute the shaker loop's output & just use this track to modulate stuff!! (Up to 8 parameters)

[@Slynk]

I should have tested and mentioned this. I had a feeling you could map to anything - even other channels but I forgot to test and mention that. Thanks!

[@HeathHolme]

No worries @@Slynk thanks to you for sharing content!! ❤️ your channel

[@omnibus5359]

The envelope follower triggered by a kick drum is also a great way to affect EQ between bass/drums/anything else that they clash with, instead of having to use a compressor. You can assign it to the Scale of an EQ8 or to individual bands, or of course, both.

[@RussArteaga]

Spectral blur reminded me of one of my favorite companies GRM Tools

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Slynk you are officially my go to ableton guy - you do the tunage and throw in some science, brilliant!

[@evanthibodeaux5491]

My mind is blown!! Gonna have to watch this video a few times

[@mattmatters153]

this was dope haha thanks man. just dove into max for live. it's a rabbit hole.

[@wessimmons2660]

SLYNK... You are my new fav person on this planet...! Your editing prowess is on point. And the way you present yourself is fecking aweooosoome. Learning from you has made my production inspiration go through the roof. Thank you..

[@Slynk]

Thanks for the really nice comment Wes. I appreciate it :)

[@rae.workshd5060]

You are King Slynk!! you made me fall for Ableton Live back 2019. Dope content!!

[@justingoers]

Man somehow I had totally glossed over the Shaper. So glad I watched this video.

[@dat1beats]

Sup man! I’m from NY. I’m kinda new to Ableton. It’s my first time watching you. I love the content so far. I must say: it’s kinda funny hearing a dude with a heavy country accent make great electronic music. I’ll keep watching and learning. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Slynk]

Country? I'm from Australia mate hahaha. Thanks for checking out my videos!

[@dat1beats]

@@Slynk wow! I’m way off

[@aaronluncford5290]

Sweet video! Definitely learned about some new max devices. Loved the creative examples

[@Taglicht]

Absolutely lovin' the mustache!

[@Taglicht]

Btw, I would love it if you came back to Israel for a show (In the future of course... Right now it isn't that possible)! Thanks for the tutorial, i just started to experiment with Live, I'm new to music production and your tutorials are on piont! So thanks alot :)

[@braindamage_eclipse]

I knew about some of these but really excited about Envelope and Expression Control. I remember when Ableton was first integrating Max, I was super stoked but tbh only dug through part of the Max patches because my old computer was, well, not having it. They really have cycling 74's tech an ecosystem to flourish in without always being avant garde. Definitely time to look back at this again, thank you for the prod.

[@cthulhugravios499]

It’s so weird hearing a fellow Aussie accent. Love the content. I might try some of these out in Live Suite 11

[@airfixx_8952]

Squirrel Parade is the biznizz! ....So cool on beats!!!

[@soundboy605]

I did not know this thanks I like this slink! good to see a fresh video

[@dmdx6723]

accurate clear rystalline as always guy your videos are precious ty

[@MistrThomas]

Slynk you have my favorite ableton tutorials on KZbin. Add +1 to the vote for more pimp my project episodes!

[@seangray4512]

Thanks Slynk, great useful tips

[@infektdubstep]

squirrel parade might just be my new favorite effect

[@pedroavellaneda2778]

hi infekt :D

[@coontree14]

Possibly my new sound design tool 🤓

[@amado7760]

so nice Slynk - thanks

[@phortah4254]

thanks for the inspiration. Can't wait to hit the studio!

[@richardsomerville5725]

Like ive said peeps have hardly scratch the surface with Live .Thanks for a great vid bro .Have a great day and happy music making.

[@MikeBalk]

Cheers Slynk! Loved the horn meme at the end!

[@justingoers]

The color limiter is a badass hidden gem

[@Mancheguache]

at 7:00 in you 'sang' into the mike and said you were going to 'throw it in' the ? convolution reverb - - awesome result but how did you do that? step by step please lol I'm a tech-dinosaur...

[@iflase5823]

amazing video! i never knew about these packs XD

[@GL-zi2rr]

Sick, that time envelope is neatttt

[@chimpit7913]

spectral blur could be really good for adding noise to a snare. I say KSHMR add a pink noise sample to a snare to widen the freq range it hits.

[@steeltrust68]

The granulator II had been developped bei Robert Henke, one of the founders of Ableton. So it's legit to say it is *the* Ableton max device :-)

[@RickySweum]

Awesome tutorial, Slynk. Thanks for showing all these great features right under our fingertips.

[@threee1298]

thanks for the vid man this is brilliant

[@mannsmedia]

Awesome as always - thanks Slynk! I‘d love to see (and hear) more about the Color Limiter, maybe a comparison to other common limiter plugins (izotope, fabfilter, invisible). Would be great! ;)

[@paradiddle16]

21:10 priceless! hahaha Anyways, I do have a MAX 8 license and what's nice also is being able to use the max4live devices in MAX also. You can't get bored with a combo like that.

[@EarleMonroe]

I love love Max for Live, but you know what I love even more? Freedom. Freedom Horns Forever!

[@gtubgle]

Cool video. Thank you.

[@gazfunk]

I love Live but the browser is a bit of a mess. It’s hard to keep track of where everything is.

[@Raitaponi]

THIS!

[@Jaccccck96]

Need FL browser with Ableton pluggins 😭

[@PB72UK]

Not really, you just have to be organised, and use the favourites for the ones you used most, or use the powerful search / filter option.

[@maruxoxo]

you can color code them into favorites folders to make it easier because yeah i agree 💀💀

[@giecproduttore748]

i love your videos man!!!!!

[@waltervooys6338]

I love it!!!! Thanks for this love your videos

Thanks Slynk great tut

[@oskie66skye]

Thank you mate!

[@hexnote]

Some of these, can't find on the Ableton Website.. drop a download link?

[@Tapepusher]

Creative reignition, thank you.

[@Slynk]

Anytime :)

[@thetahat8939]

im officially overwhelmed

[@rickberes71]

I lost it when the progress bar popped up! lol Nice, mate.

[@Lordxfx]

Slynk has got to be the Wizard of Wizards.

[@Opus332]

thx for review

[@medik7493]

so many handy things

[@sustomusickillsyoutube]

Nothing to say but NICE

[@glitchunicorn]

I can't remember if it was you that recommended it on a different video! Bounce in Place or BiP is the best 3 bucks I ever spent on any max4live plugin let alone any vst plugin. If it wasn't you please check it out

[@Daniel-sYouTube]

So I watch a video with all these free plugins, and end up spending 3 bucks on another one... that's good advertising, Glitch Unicorn :D

[@glitchunicorn]

@@Daniel-sKZbin lol I hope you looked it up 1st. I use it all the time for what I do.

[@airfixx_8952]

Handy device.... Thx

[@vxd]

Love the monovocoder but don't use max much due to lots of crashing

[@MrGunnerGill]

Hey Skunk, mind I ask your mic and it's setup? Make model of the mic, stand and anything else you have that is making it super clear and awesome

[@jogsamson]

That’s an RE-20 mic!

[@svtiedvieo]

Where can I get those glasses frames?

[@shounyou7146]

Can't download Pitch and Time Machines anymore; seems it has been discontinued. Anyone with a download link?

[@jordanoickle6998]

When I spotted the flag in the background I was instantly like, "He must be recording from Whistler!" haha

[@Slynk]

Alot of people don't know this but Whistler is actually the capital of Australia. :P

[@Collect-AI]

Awesome video. I went to look for the plugins and found that I looked in my Max MIDI Effects folder and it is completely empty. Not sure how I can get the plugins I have the latest version of Live 11.3.4. Mac. OS Any help would be great.

[@alexhormann8931]

As an Ableton 9 user who's looking forward to 11 I'm wondering if there's something like the old honey mapper built in.

[@averagepainter]

where is the essential library though? i have neither the drumsynth not the pitchdrop. i have suite 11.

[@CharlesLouisRosario]

Going to try squirrel parade on hi hats

[@juliusv2073]

you're like walrus python programmer, anyways you know your stuff, kudos

[@picas256]

Sweet!

[@DVMGameMusic]

I think this is a pretty nice introduction video. I didn't know some of those stuff Btw, anyone have opinions on using m4l shaper to replace Volume shaper/LFO tool?

[@sebbosebbo9794]

how much delay or latency have the newest device....Live 11...anyone a idea is there a xonvolution device with near 0 latency. for live Performance sets out there... the Mini vocoder sounds cool...

[@Randuski]

This is killer thank you haha i had no damn clue 😂 also i have some damn good ideas for squirrel parade 😉

[@hazencruz]

really disappointed that some of this stuff (like autotuna) doesn't seem to be in live 11 suite. if it is there, i can't find it!

[@ringoze]

Script for easily restarting a recording if you make a mistake - without using UNDO?

[@RealKanavButTheOrignal]

Cool

[@xsploit]

how hard would it to make a envelope follower for sub bass. would be easier instead of seperate sub basses

[@craigmitchell8892]

Pitch and time machine is discontinued sadly (fuck knows why mate) but you can still get autotuna on the beatlab site

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

does anyone know if there's a M4L device that resets the reverb of each midi note when it's playing?

[@andyvandj]

Anyone know where I can download Wasteband?

[@sevaarutyunov7301]

Do your thing friend. I'm going to continue using Ableton.

[@kamesound]

Buenardo!

[@kaijbuchan]

hello my fellow australian

[@SIQN-]

Squirrel thing... drop weird glitch to audio... drop audio into Granulator. Yeee. Also, mix mono vocoder with traditional vocoder. Double yeee.

[@jaumepp1975]

This channel is amazing, and it would be perfect if the guy changed his obnoxious look.

[@Mikefngarage]

squirrel parade should be called chipmunk parade.

[@efoildelights4662]

Auto tune + vocoder 😍
