Here's 4 new effects racks for Live DJs and performers, although sadly for some, these are only compatible with Live 7 and above:

(I can see the hate mail already). If anyone decides to spend the time recreating these in Live 6, let me know and I'll include them in the effect pack with full credit to the person who does the conversion.

Avalanche

This effect is another one that's good for deconstructing audio in a rhythmic sort of way. Turning the Macro 1 knob left adds small delays that sort of trickle away, turning it to the right adds larger and darker sounding washes of delay. The key to this rack is to turn the knob slowly, and the effect will build up nicely into a really nice sounding wash of sound.

Glowsticker

I admit, this one is a bit tongue in cheek, those on the ALDJ forums will know I joke around about flangers a lot. It's the effect for those people who just can't seem to find the sunrise. :-) Left turns use shorter tempo synced flanger sweeps that pulse with the music, right turns add longer sweeps that are more like the traditional DJ flanger effects people might be used to.

Retorted

Retorted is a distortion hybrid effect, combined with a pulsing aspect. Turning the knob to the left introduces s more digital sounding distortion, with some bit reduction and down-sampling added. The pulsing effect is synced to 1/16th notes. Turning the knob to the right adds a more analog sounding distortion, with a slower 1/8th note pulsing aspect.

Sound Stream

Sound Stream is modulation based effect rack that adds a subtle octave shifted copy of the audio playing through it underneath. Turning the knob left introduces darker overtones, with the audio shifted down an octave. Turning right introduces brighter sounds and audio pitch shifted an octave up. This one is an interesting effect, it had very different results depending on the audio your feeding through it.

As always, hope you enjoy these and find them useful.

That is so f'in weird. Friday I was going to put a post on here requesting that you do one of your great guides geared towards using Live live but things got too hectic at work and it didn't get posted. Are you feeling our connection man? cause I'm feeling it.
