Ableton Forum

Hi ladies and gentlemen,

the title say all. Which filter do you use?

No matter if Live natives, M4L or VST devices ...
No matter which kind of filters - eq, comb, res or whatever.


Thank you ladies and gentlemen

many

autofilter for basic filtering needs
filtershaper 3 for moving, rhythmic stuff and just more advanced stuff
WOW2 for distorted and vowel


theres a couple others but i rarely touch them anymore, filterscape (another good one for moving and crazy stuff) etch (got it one of those cheapass sales but i just dont find many uses for it with what i have) mwobbler and quadfrohmage. Narrowing it down to those 3 is generally all i need

A few filters in the arsenal.

Autofilter, Bifilter https://tone2.com/html/bifilter2%20vst% ... lugin.html. Fabfilter and Anteres Filter are good too.

EQ8 is also awesome for filter - if you can tame it.

They've all got their own character, so its fun to use them in different situations.

There's also the M4L XVAnalog filter http://www.xmonsta.com/product/xv-analogue-filter/, which was developed for personal use, but we shared it so it's free

Sometimes its fun to filter the really low pitches of a square wave, bounce it and "slice to new midi track", selecting transient. Make weird filter rhythms with the drum pads

I'm really not a filter expert but I have filtershaper. I like it. I use it more in simple ways though as if you get too complex it doesn't really necessarily sound good in a song.

EQ8 usually if I'm in Ableton, it just works a lot easier for what I try and do most of the time. Plus it's just so configurable, very easy to set up exactly what you need. Especially since Live 9!

I heard that the VOLVO filter is great. It's a bit pricey though. Gotta save my pennies.

DOH! I was thinking about posting something about that but missed the boat......well played

well played indeed, but for this pass maybe the best play would no more plays... '

don't talk through the sunset.

+1 for EQ8. it is a beauty.

Correct about the no more plays. Hopefully there is a mod around soon to take care of this mess caprezzz boy!!!!!!

if you agree with no more plays then you should keep the party off the street.

Fabfilter Volcano2 and Sugarbytes WOW2

I put Vengeance Philta CM on every track by default. I start with a 48db/octave low-cut rolloff at 50 Hz and then adjust from there to keep each track within its part of the sound profile.

I love how intuitive this filter is to use! If I didn't have pay so much extra for their proprietary dongle, I would have bought the commercial version of this VST a long time ago. /sigh

Soundtoys Filterfreaq tempted by Cytomic The Drop the demo was great.

The Drop....Amazing. Every track, all the time!
