Re: Pitch shifter recommendations for external instrument

Just to follow up in case anyone else is looking into this for external instruments, there are definitely some decent shifters in max but unfortunately using max in an Ableton channel effects chain adds an unusable amount of latency (without it on the same channel, and running half a dozen native li...

Re: Pitch shifter recommendations for external instrument

There's a native one since L11, it's called Shifter. I still prefer using M4L, though, as I don't really like Shifter's pitch shifter algorithm. I'm using a clunky DIY one, but you can easily find good ones on maxforlive.com. Thanks, but Live's Shifter is not a pure pitch shifter, it works more lik...

Pitch shifter recommendations for external instrument

Greetings, been a while! I am looking for a pitch shifter device for external instruments- not a harmonizer, but pure pitch shifter. Been cloning my bass guitar effects pedals in Ableton with great success, but can't seem to find a pure pitch shifter (like a whammy pedal) in Ableton or Max for live ...

Re: Ableton 10 is obsolet!

I can just respectfully disagree. The upgrade prices are perfect if you factor in years of support and feature upgrades. I do. I'd rather Ableton have a tad less users and strive for Pro level features and quality than jumping on the race to the bottom initiated by companies with bigger pockets fro...

Re: Ableton 10 is obsolet!

Not obsolete, but for an upgrade path I find it over priced. I'll probably buy it at some point out of necessity.
As a long time user like many, on the current suite version (but not a push user), it seems rather expensive-

Re: Download speeds from Ableton site

Day 3 :cry: Almost done :) I've been able to simultaneously download from other sites without issue, very reasonable speeds. Only slow site is Ableton for some reason, Arturia was a bit sluggish but not this bad. On my last download now, thank god- 3 hours left. I'll try tethering in the future, tha...

Download speeds from Ableton site

Haven't posted in years, still use Ableton daily, love it. But Jesus H Christ, downloading packs etc from the site onto the new computer takes fucking ages- I have the suite, day 2 of downloading for hours. I have great connection too, plenty of bandwidth- arrrgh this suuuuuucks. Ableton, your serve...
