This Plugin is useful with a Tochscreen as well as a Sequencer for Stutter type effects, which is very good.

Useful plugins, very simple to use.

Support drag n drop, import...and you can remap thé plugins for an extended use with all drums vst.

For 19€ it is a no brain deal.

LOVE the UI! The orbital modulators are really fun to play around with and visualize. I also appreciate that you have so many randomization options.

Wqay too many reviews for such a beast of a DAW.

When I first came across Ableton Live many years ago I actually was disgusted by it: none of it was the ways I was used to (left track pannel, routing) and the colours were way too bright for my taste. And ten years had to go by to really take another look non it.

So 2 years ago I got Live 11 and 12 Standard with Max for Live. And what can I sa everything except one thing is a blast.

The Sampler: best stock sampler ever.

The stock synths and fx: just so great in design and capabillitys.

The MIDI fx: a bit overwhelming, but made for every unconventional idea you might have.

The browser: just the best of any daw (please fight me), it comes with colour coding taging, splice integration, groove save space and the ai driven "search for similar sounds" function (it's actaully a good use of ai).

The ways of manipulating audio are insane and I have yet to find a DAW that can match Ableton in that regard. The same goes for midi.

So what's the one thing that doesn't work well: latency free audio recording! Allthough they have the option to record any track latency free, this feature still doesn't work reliably (specially with bigger projects).

And if it wasn't for that it woulld actually be my main DAW.

Prisewise it's definetely mor on the heavy ite, but since they started their own rent-to-own option, it has become way more accessible (also the new tutorial mode is something every daw should have).

So, highly recomendable.

Years go by and ZynAddSubFX/Yoshimi never falls behind. It is the undisputed king of open-source synthesizers.

Helix is an incredible synthesizer. Very versatile, it sounds fantastic, and I can't believe how little processor it consumes and the price, considering everything it offers. The author is a genius. Congratulations.

It works excellent from Debian 13 GNU+Linux with Yabridge.

I waited for a long time to acquire Time Stretch. The $39.99 sale price turned it into a no brainer.
I got my first taste of ircamLAB's technology when I purchased the MOTU MachFive3. Time Stretch takes sound design to another level. The automation possibilities now paired with 3rd party vst's makes Time Stretch the most powerful sound design tool I own.
Thankful.

Sparkverb is a surprisingly lightweight and super versatile algorithmic reverb. It features fun and creative workflow approach options and very versatile spaces: Halls, Rooms, Plates, and Creative Non Realistic Spaces. Highly recommended for folks that want a lightweight(only 3% on my 8GB HP Laptop in Live 11 SUITE) algorithmic reverb that produces nearly any style of space for a phenomenal result.

Pretty much perfect. Very easy to dial in a setup. Sparkverb is rapidly becoming my goto verb.

Stuttermation is a really decent glitch / beat repeat / stutter plugin. When you understand the idea behind it, it works pretty smooth. I came up with cool glitchy variations of drum loops and melodies in no time. The ability to either work in loop mode or on the timeline is nice. There are many options for shaping and modulating the blocks, which gives you a great variety of glitched sounds.

The developer is also really responsive and takes user feedback into account.

Overall Stuttermation is a really solid plugin and glitch idea machine - especially for the current price. I recommend it and hope it will be developed further.
