i dont mean to toot anyones horn here but... man i love this stuff.

what kind of plug-ins etc are you guys using? and what kind of projects are you using it for? im curious to see what other people are doing with it.


currently im using it mainly for hip hop, and I use "GURU" for most of my stuff.. hooked up to a m-audio trigger finger, fasttrack pro and a couple mics/midi controllers.. and a microKORG to boot. haha.

Native instruments stuff works really well with Ableton from a creative standpoint.
Although the support for NI stuff is very different from what we've all come to expect from Ableton.
From a hip-hop aspect I would suggest working with and experimenting with Sampler, or any other samplers such as Halion, Kontakt, or others. Using slices or larger bits of sounds that you like from sounds you record or from recorded material, can open up many sonic possibilities that using synths alone may be able to produce.
Keep asking questions here, and don't be afraid to post some work, people here are decent to each other.
Good Luck.

im loving it.. and i agree, NI stuff is prettty cool.. i use their synths etc, but for beats and drums etc i use fxpansions GURU and a m-audio trigger finger..

NI Komplete 4, (5 soon) and GURU here too, as well as Zebra 2 and the Waldorf Edition, plus Symptohm Mellohman.
FX: Camel Phat and Space, Filterscape, PSP Vintage Warmer, Ohm Boys, Preditohm, Pluggo, Nomad Factory Vintage bundle, Reverence, MFM2, and Spectral Shapers

Anyway, that's where my money has gone.
Must haves to me are Vintage Warmer, GURU, Zebra 2, PPG Wave, and from Komplete, Absynth, Reactor, Guitar Rig, and FM8.
Kontact 3 is getting a real slicer as well!

It's cool. It has revolutionized my recording and composition practices.


At first, I just used it to fuck about with and create crazy off the wall stuff with on the fly clips and on the fly fx with rewire or importing audio clips into Cubase but now I find I use it for almost everything, I produced and released an electronic music CD recently that was 90% done using Live and vsts and have also used it to record and mix more typical rock bands and for cross genre collabs (although in some instances I find it a bit less flexible than Cubase for this type of tracking and traditional arrangement mode stuff, but it's just so quick and easy to get going with it compared to Cubase that I tend to overlook this more and more).

A buddy of mine likes it because he can pretend he's a DJ with his warping of mp3s and the like in the session view.
