Make sure your plug-ins are installed in the correct and default locations: Ableton Live 8 and 9 need to be installed with their 64-bit installers whereas Ableton Live 10 is already 64-bit only.Ģ.

PROCESS.AUDIO plug-ins are 64-bit only. Waves’ catalog also includes the Kramer Master Tape, based on legendary producer Eddie Kramer’s Ampex machine.Ableton Live - my plug-ins aren't showing up Waves offers two different tape simulations: We’ve already covered J37 Tape, based on Abbey Road’s classic Studer model. If you want to add an organic analog feel to electronic instruments, tape emulations can work wonders. You can choose the mono, stereo or live versions, making it particularly suited to Ableton for live performance.Ĭontrolling the dynamics of the voice this way means you can use your compressors and limiters purely as tone shaping tools, evening out the vocals more naturally without unnecessarily ‘squashing’ them. This is a one-stop method to make your vocals sound more controlled and produced immediately. You can use the range control to narrow the dynamic range, and the output control to raise or lower the overall level. It then intelligently responds to natural deviations from the target by turning the gain up and down on the vocal. Vocal Rider works by setting a target range for the vocal level in relation to the rest of the mix. Both Bass Rider and Vocal Rider (more on which below) are serious time savers and performance enhancers. This plugin works without relying on compression techniques, just leveling your existing sound so that it’s more even without feeling needlessly compressed.Ībleton Live doesn’t have anything like this “Rider” effect on board. Bass Rider ensures that the bass pops out consistently, and doesn’t get lost in the mix. The spine of any mix, a good bass part is essential for both rhythmic and harmonic functions, often playing a big part in having the listeners get up and dance.
This plugin is designed to automatically deliver perfect bass levels. Thanks to the Organic ReSynthesis technology under the hood, you can seamlessly smooth-out harsh ‘s’ sounds fast and without any side effects. This allows you to reduce sibilant parts while leaving the rest of the signal untouched. Unlike the narrow-band approach to vocal de-essing, Sibilance automatically detects and separates undesirable harshness from raw vocals. Sibilance is a unique de-essing plugin that is both transparent and powerful. Perfect for adding that certain heat and vibe to an otherwise cold and digital-sounding mix. If you’re looking for tape emulation, harmonic distortion and saturation, the Waves/Abbey Road J37 Tape saturation plugin will give you a precision model of the classic tape machine used to create countless classic tracks at Abbey Road Studios throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. The warmth and fullness it adds can help you create a more human sound. There’s something magical about the sound of analog tape. Here are five plugins that will open up a ton of sonic possibilities: Music makers love its flexible workflow and the lightning-fast ability to turn ideas into musical reality.Īlthough Ableton comes with a selection of stock effects, you can enhance your sound by adding unique plugins that Ableton does not provide in its stock selection.
