Ableton Suite Free
London, Los Angeles and online electronic music school Point Blank is in the midst of Ableton Month, and as part of the proceedings they are giving away specially-made Max for Live plug-ins. The free devices include a rather powerful Kick Drum Designer, the unusual but surprisingly useful Monster Timestretch, a very cool Funky Arp arpeggiator and many more.
Download all Point Blank plug-ins for free – registration is required.
Taken together the devices offer enough features to produce an entire track with. And this is exactly what Point Blank instructor Dan Herbert does in a three part series of tutorial videos. Starting with the aforementioned Kick Drum Designer, Herbert builds up a track layer by layer while showcasing the individual plug-ins and imparting some very useful production tips and tricks along the way.
Ableton and bits: Live 9.7.7 and below are 32-bit and can only run 32-bit VST plugins. Live 10 and above are 64-bit and can only run 64-bit VST plugins. So if you're running an older version of Live, your VST-plugins must be in 32-bits to run. Live 9 has not much to offer, except Push, which purpose is to catch the customers of hardware, and bind those to Ableton, because those hardly switch to other DAW when they've invested money into this new Software/Hardware-combination.
Check out part 1 of the video tutorial here. Go here for part 2 and part 3.
