    What a shame even still with Live 12 you have to use 'Work arounds'. Look, 'work arounds' are only a bandaid for a system that doesn't work inherently. They are not 'the way things should be'. People think that these work arounds are great, problem solved! No. Not at all. What's wrong with you that you don't realize that?! I am so tired of Ableton not getting their basic shit right. Like, for all that is good, in the whole god damn world, for the love of GOD, please, for Christ's sake, JUST ADD DOUBLE to TRIPLE OR MORE the amount of collections and colors available. Is it all that hard Ableton? Oh, I can create a 'work around' to make folders sorta kinda in collections? But I still have to set up myself and I still have dig for it. AND, you can't even right click inside the pane/window to the right after selecting a specific collection where the list of plugins is and add a folder? What?! Are you effing serious? I have to do all this shit with user library as a WORK AROUND? 🤬 But what if, check this out, now don't break your brain when I say this, what if, are you ready... ? What if... ok here we go, I know this is HUGE NEWS, but, ok, can you handle it? What if ...... Ableton just gave us more collections and colors right at the top level?!!!! To make it REALLY EASY FOR US!? NO WORK AROUNDS NECESSARY?!! What if we could right click in the window to the right an EASILY add a folder to organize our collections without having to have a plugin open to drag and drop??!!! Can I take it right from the list and drag it into a folder within collections? Are there MORE collections in addition to that flexibility??!!!! No, ofcourse not, Ableton will NOT make it easy for us. OMG, did I break your brain? No, they answer is NO. Did I break Abletons brain? Yes, the answer is YES. Wow. This shit sucks. I'm TIRED of 'work arounds'. So much so, that I am smart enough to do what EVERYONE else WANTS to do but won't because they are already sucked in to Ableton and want to be loyal are used to it, and that is, I will leave Ableton for another DAW. F you Ableton for taking advantage of us and not making the correct changes WE ACTUALLY NEED. The simple, brain dead dumb easy, TOP LEVEL EASY changes that we all need. Ughhhhhh 🤬 You came out with Live 12 AND DIDN'T ADD MORE COLLECTIONS OR the flexibility to drag and drop FROM THE LIST INTO ANOTHER FOLDER OR LIST WITHIN COLLECTIONS!!!!! OMG. Just, OMG. Done. (Btw, I sent this directly to Ableton as well, so save your breath)

    • @ELPHNT
      @ELPHNT 8 днів тому

      Yes and no. Technically you could build something close to all of these things natively with Racks (except Colour, which has some custom distortion code), but I find Racks pretty dull and uninspiring. Part of making these for myself was to make something a little more engaging. Even so, mapping in Racks can only work linearly, so you're also restricted by that, whereas in Max you can define how controls and parameters behave in any way you like, so you'll find these devices are a little more 'fine tuned' than what you could build natively. P.S: Also worth pointing out a few things you think native devices might be doing, but aren't: Many people think Utility can do stereo widening, but it would be more accurate to describe that as a 'stereo balance' control. Widen applies something slightly more advanced that will let you add additional width, even to totally mono sounds. You also might think Filter could be easily replaced by Auto Filter, but the biggest problem Auto Filter has is that its always applying a slight amount of filtering, even when the cutoff is all the way down/up. This is most noticeable if you are, say, applying a highpass to your whole track (like you might do in a live siutation). Even when the filter is all the way down you will hear a noticeable drop in low/sub frequencies. Filter, on the other hand, totally bypasses the filter when the controls are all the way open, so its much better for doing full track filtering (its kind of designed mostly as a performance filter). So, again, yes and no 🙃

    Emit is like Borderlands Granular on iPad! I wonder if they were inspired by that brilliant classic app? Part of what made Borderlands so special was the ability to load numerous samples in a big X-Y collage and have multiple emitters , sometimes overlapping different samples -- and creating a unique interplay between different sounds that worked well together. I suppose you could get close to the same effect if you added a few different sounds to the same wav file, maybe fading some together.. then toss it in Ableton Emit.

    • @ELPHNT

      Well...maybe. Simplified tools become increasingly useful as you get better at mixing. I know I can accomplish the same or more with Roar, for instance, but less interface using "colour" will save time. especially with built in gain compensation. That alone makes at least that module useful as hell. In fact, I was thinking about making a simple saturator with built in gain compensation myself on M4L then pop into youtube and see they just did it for me.
