An LFO is a waveform that cycles very slowly and is used to alter other parameters. This is the type of device that you would use if you wanted to affect a parameter in the same way, repeatedly, over time. Shaper lets you control any parameter in Ableton using an LFO (low-frequency oscillator). These parameters will allow you to dial in Envelope Follower’s settings and create impressive automation effects. The controls available in Envelope Follower include Gain, Rise, Fall, and Delay. You can assign Envelope Follower to up to 8 parameters in Ableton, at varying Min and Max depths. I’m sure your mind is now racing thinking of all the things you can do with it. This is a basic use for this device, but it demonstrates what it’s capable of. This would cause all the tracks to rise and fall along with the volume envelope of the lead instrument/vocal. If you have multiple instruments in a song playing the same part, but you want them to rise and fall together more harmoniously, you could apply Envelope Shaper to the main track, and then map it to the Gain knob of a utility on the other tracks that are playing along with it. Ableton enables you to map almost any parameter, so there are a tremendous number of things you can do with this device. Envelope FollowerĮnvelope Follower is a Max for Live Device that lets you analyze the volume envelope of a track, and use the recorded envelope profile to affect other parameters in Ableton. Adding this device to your arsenal is a great way to step up your ability to mix in Ableton. It’s essentially a free upgrade to one of Ableton’s weakest audio devices, so it’s definitely worth checking out. In my opinion, Convolution Reverb is substantially better than Ableton’s stock Reverb.
It includes a 3-band EQ, a Pos tab that allows you to position the reverb in the stereo field, a Mod tab that applies modulation, a Damp tab that will enable you to control how the reverb is dampened, and a Shape tab that will allow you to manage the dimensions of the modeled room.
On top of providing the typical controls you’d find on a reverb like Decay, Size, and Predelay, Convolution Reverb includes even more controls. Convolution reverbs are usually quite expensive, but there’s a free one available as a Max for Live device called Convolution Reverb.Ĭonvolution Reverb comes with a vast number of presets.
This is done by firing off sine waves, and recording how they interact with the space. Convolution reverbs are modeled after real-world spaces.
