These will 10X Your Workflow (5 INSANE Max for Live Devices)

CLIP GAIN... WOW. my repetitive stressed out writsts are excited. $3 dafaq? can't wait to grab. thanks!

man, watching these makes me want to switch to Ableton from Logic. But I just don't want to learn yet another massive piece of software because I already know hundreds haha . how big of a difference is it to jump to Ableton from Logic?

Definitely going to check out Auto Track Colors and Clip Gain, thanks for the tips.

LoadeR is 3$, and i find it better as shortcut buddy 3 , wich is 15$ ..

Omg.. the money I (and many others) have wasted on "premium plugins" while we had Max for live devices for it all this time.. 🥴

amazing tips. youre a legend for these

Good stuff bro!!!

amazing

You could also use Mix Matcher for mixing your own songs tracks/busses to each other.

But a big con is currently the spectrum itself, it's hard to see/use. You can't expand it and interact/see which peaks are what frequencies like spectrum has. Also the spectrum updates a bit slow compared to other plugins

great video bro

"I slept on Max For Live for way too long"...me too buddy. Me too...

Brilliant tools! Color schemes was a gamechanger for me in Cubase and Ableton, and I've stuck to my scheme for years now. If you don't want to fork out for the plugin, a trick in Ableton is that (if you work with groups), you can right click a Group track, and select "Assign Track Color to Grouped Tracks and Clips" to quicky apply colors in your project. Although not as flexible as the Auto Track Colors device, it's a nice trick.

for EQ eight you just have to hit save to save it as a preset. you don't have to group it first. maybe this was an update. I just set mine up. It basically won't allow you to add any stock effect but it will allow any preset of a stock effect... if that makes sense. so just save a copy of your default presets and you're good to go!

How can you not mention BIP :)

Holy shit man, these are crazy good! I've been such a fool to ignore max for live thinking its all programming or something haha, gonna jump on this asap. Great video, thank you for sharing!

Hey guys. Is anyone else having problems with shortcut buddy? When I assign the keys to the tools and try to use them, nothing happens. Do any of you have a solution there? Thanks in advance

Excellent suggestions!
My favorites from this video (and I went and got them) are Auto Track Colors, Swiss Army Meter, and of course Clip Gain. All of them amazing.
Even though Shortcut Buddy 3 is a great device, I prefer Live Enhancement Suite which provides a customizable context menu with any plugins you want to include, and it even has submenus. Live Enhancement Suite has many other features besides the context menu and it is free and open source.
Mix Matcher is also a great device but I already own Metric AB from ADPTR so I have no need for it.

No great tips to share here. Just came in to say I just found out about what a patcher does.

Thanks a lot for uncovering these gems!

this is quickly becoming my go to channel for music production. Good job my man 👍🏻

wow, this is insane news! Thank You!
Gotta save all that as a template and go with the flow 🔥

Wow I need to get on the M4L game asap! 😍

GM audio clipper Update interview over Filter Design clipping would be cool. thx guys..nice m4l topic

This is good stuff!

Holy shit, this video is sick! Great ideas @TheCosmicAcademy thanks for awesome video. And funnily enough, we use the exact same colours for identifying for our elements in Ableton.

No 2 literally makes no sense coz you can drag and drop whichever plugins in your template on each channel and just enable before use

With Clip gain I have set up my 3 and 4 on my numeric pad to.. Add 1 dB or subtract 1 db.. So fast.. Not needing to bring out the fader. 🙏🏻

Uuups another ableton channel reaching 100.000 in 6 months

Ah, found it.

Derp, I have no idea how to get the "clip gain" (at least I found the site......) BTW, any chance it works with session view? It would be invaluable if so.

bruuuuu i was already impressed by the first device you showed but it kept getting better and better. how cool is that clip gain thing?????

Ableton is a wonderfull land ! Thanks a lot ❤

Hey, I got Auto Track Colors, and Clip Gain after watching this video a while back (already owned Swiss Army Meter), but I figured I should just suggest GetOutOfMyWay from Elizabeth Holmstead. You've likely already heard of it, but I just got it and its already my favourite plugin ever. It finally makes Live work how I feel like it always should have. I can't imagine not using it in the future and would go perfectly with this video.

Please don't skip, Read! ❤👀⚠
I'm a big M4L fan,
been looking for a swiss army meter and Clip gain for so long.
please do not get me wrong, but will someone please donate or gift me these plugins, I can not afford them.
It will be really a ton of help for me. The one who wishes to help, I'll be thankful, looking forward in hope.

Thank you...
(great video and comments also very informative. Love it)

We’ve got one or two utility devices on the website, and an affiliate program if you’re interested?

STING by IFTAH I've been using it a lot. It basically generates acid bass lines, but it's good for bass lines in general.

Lol, nice Max For Live animation. Where'd you get it? 😉

that moment when u tryna learn about your daw and you hear your own song in the background of the vid :D awesome stuff man

Very cool video bro

i m mostly working in session mode, live jamming - producing. Does anyone know a m4l plugin which makes Session-view-Audio-Editing possible? it's incredible that Ableton "Live" doesn't allow sample editing in session view. crazy. It's no workflow to copy/paste into arrangement view, edit there, and copy/paste back into session view.. that's the opposite of "Flow".

Clip gain possibly. The rest? Clutter.

Thanks for sharing!

Great vid. Ty

I grabbed swiss army meter recently. very useful. I'm definitely grabbing clip gain and mix matcher!

Love Max4Live devices! Clip gain is definitely a game changer! Thank you for sharing all the other ones 🙏🏼

I’m totally getting these!!!! I love the clip gain 🤯🤯

There is this M4L device called "Master Pitch" by Kilihu.
If you work with multiple MIDI clips and tend to switch between song keys during the mixing or whatever, it can help you faster transpose the whole set really quickly without pushing each midi clip by one semitone up or down. Basically its like putting transpose midi effect for each clip but easier.
For me personally it has helped a lot since I like to switch between keys to find the one that perfectly fits the vibe of whole set. and iirc its free.
Downside is that you still have to manually change pitch audio clips iirc. I might have missed something from manual/tutorial but Im sure only drum racks and midi clips were pitchable.
