Each Demo pack is also a fully functional instrument or effect, but you can upgrade to the paid version to get more features and sounds. The Demo packs are stripped-down versions of paid packs. However, Ableton + Native Instruments (Komplete) is a killer combo, too.There are 2 elements to FREE the Free Packs include completely standalone packs – they’re not stripped down or demo versions, but fully functional instruments and effects in their own right. Call me crazy, but Native Instruments stuff drives me nuts. I much prefer Ableton + Omnisphere over Native Instruments stuff. But if I were to buy Live packs, I'd stick to the drums and percussion. As for third party stuff (and Live Packs), I'd probably spend my money elsewhere. As said earlier, some stuff in the library ain't so hot, and some of it is excellent. I know there's other plugins that can do this, but Ableton's Convolution Reverb Pro has my favourite interface of any reverb plugin, and the quality is excellent.Īs with anything else, I think Live Suite is worth it. You can also create or load in your own impulses. If you are just starting with line you will not miss M4L.If Max4Live only included the Convolution Reverb tool, it would still be worth it.Ībleton's convolution reverb is excellent, and you need Max4Live to run it. Only cool thing might be M4L but even that is not worth the Suite price. What comes with Suite is very dated sounds. You have a lot better synths and sounds already. I put an article up on my site featuring Five Live Packs You're Missing Out On if anybody's interested.Īny suggestions or warnings as far as good or bad Live Packs go? Has anyone tried out Apocalypse Percussion Elements or Analogic Waves? Those both look sexy as hell. I mean, they sound good, but hardly any of the sounds are usable for chiptunes or video game music. It's like they took a lot of retro computer/console samples and over-processed them until they sounded shiny and new. What is advertised as being a great Live Pack for creating chiptunes and retro video game-esque music is actually very modern sounding. It gave me a renewed appreciation for Tension and taught me a lot about sound design using a physical modeling string synthesizer.Īnother purchase I made recently that was not quite as positive was for Retro Computers, by Puremagnetik. Please share your Live Pack experiences, both good and bad, in this thread.Ī relatively recent purchase I made was for Entangled Species, by AAS.
Some of them are game changers and some of them, well, not so much. There is an ever-expanding number of Live Packs.
