  • Phase De-Esser

    This Ableton Live audio effect rack allows you to remove harsh sibilants from a vocal track without overly affecting the rest of the vocal. Instead of standard compressor-based de-essing, which can squash the vocal in an artificial-sounding way, the Quadrophone Phase De-Esser uses phase cancellation.

  • Bass Stereo Field Rack

    This Ableton Live audio effect rack separates a bassline into a low, mono signal and a higher, stereo one. Drop it onto your bass channel, then turn the “Mono Below:” knob to set the crossover point (somewhere around 150 Hz works well for most bass patches). This allows you to keep the low frequencies in sub-woofer-friendly mono, without losing any panning or widening effects taking place in the higher frequencies.

  • Atari Punk Console Rack

    The Atari Punk Console is a neat little DIY pulse-wave synthesizer. Its simplicity means that its features are limited: there’s no amplitude envelope, MIDI control, or even filter. This Ableton Live rack takes the raw sound of the APC’s oscillator and turns it into something that’s more usable as an instrument.

  • MIDI Beats, vol. 1

    Twenty MIDI drum patterns, including house, breakbeat, and drum ‘n’ bass beats. All of the included 8-bar loops are velocity-sensitive, and more or less follow the General MIDI standard for percussion. Download and unzip the file, then drop any of the MIDI files into a drum machine like Ableton Drum Rack or Native Instruments Battery. Start playing the pattern, then move the MIDI notes up and down until you find a combination of samples that works well with the pattern.

  • Dream Machine

    The Dream Machine is a Sampler-based Ableton Live Instrument Rack containing twenty organic, evolving ambient pad sounds, ranging from mellow and reverent to spooky and discordant. Use the “Selector” control to switch between sounds; adjust the attack, release, cutoff, and reverb mix using the macro knobs. Some of the sounds work best played as chords; others sound better when played as single notes.
