Thank you for this!! helps a lot :)
Usually the most genius ideas are the obvious ones. This is one of them. Thanks 🙏 so much for making this!💪👍
Just discovered you, very grateful ❤
Super cool ELPHNT !
BIG UPS TO ELPHNT❤
Ah!! Your the man, dude :) Been waiting for new videos by you for a long while now, but this is worth the wait. Thank you so much for this, friend!!
Pimp my Ableton 😂 thanks dude, some gems for everyone in there 🐇😎
THANKS, FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTOOD IT!
noice choice
thoinks
Just watched your masterclass on generating ideas in Ableton - I would pay for 10 more videos like that! You are amazing!
❤️❤️❤️
Much love ELPHNT
Fantastic, good to see you back.
Good to be back 😃
@@ELPHNT I think a lot of people will be happy. Your channel has inspired me hugely.
awesome as always
love how clean all is
BiP and Clipgain are my suggestions :)
All-time, total life savers
Ooh yes, I think a few of the Live Workflow Tools things will end up in here eventually.
Ahh nice to see stuff that I've also discovered myself throughout the years. M4L has a wonderful depth of experimentation and is honestly a big part of what ties me to Ableton Live.
Same. The creativity in Max For Live is only really seen in things like modular gear and guitar pedals. There are a very small handful of plugins that do some creative things, but most just recreate the same old garbage. Max For Live is where the good stuff is 🤩
Amazing! always on the hunt for new max for live plugs! Thanks
Awesome idea and execution! Thank you very much!
What a great idea! Will be checking it out!
🙌🙌🙌
What an awesome idea. Excited to dig into this collection. Thanks Elphnt for putting this together!
You are most welcome 🥳
God bless
thank youuuuuu 💝
Awesome, dude! Everyone was hoping someone would do this. Like sliced bread hh
This is a great idea. So much hidden gold that is hard to find because is so spread out
Very cool idea! Checking those out now!
What a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for curating these devices. I'm getting deeper into Ableton after years of scratching the surface and as much as I enjoy the m4l plugs, it's hard to suss out what to invest time into or not. This is a very helpful head-start that will really help me focus a little more. Appreciated.
Awesome Tom 👏

You're welcome! 🙌
Very nice. I've been using a lot of NoirLabs products over the last year or more (Volume Buddy, and Swiss Army Meter in particular) excellent products!
The Noir Labs stuff is top notch 👌 Was an easy decision to include those. Carver is killer 🔥
@@ELPHNT Agree. Carver may be the best transient shaper out there.
@@DaveSchulze Yeah, Carver consistently blows my mind. Don't sleep ton TransD though - it's a slightly different approach to Carver, so I end up using both in different situations. But TransD equally awesome results.
Great !!
Very cool idea! I always feel like I’m missing the hidden manual when I download one of these devices.
Very good! 👍🏽
ELPHNT
Also add Granulator II to the list, it totally deserves it! ✨🌜
Yes! There are a bunch more things I wanna add to the list. Soon!
Thanks this is useful I stupidly downloaded more free devices than I needed when I first got m4l going to purge a bunch of it so many useful devices so little time
👏 👏 👏 👍
Great idea.
Whoop, thanks! 🥳 I think Max For Live is such an underexposed and underrated part of making music with Ableton, so I hope I can bring some light to the people doing cool things in the space! 🙌
@@ELPHNT I've been getting away from the 3rd party plugin hype and just trying to stay within Ableton devices as much as possible and having the best Max plugins in a easy to find location is great! Good Luck !
@@jermaineinoue4919 This is the way 😎
@@ELPHNT yes, this is the way.
I have no musical ability yet enjoying meandering around my keyboard. Max4Live has been a site I visit regularly but as you say whilst there are a lot of good things on there, there’s also some not so good. Having a site where there are standards to be met has both a positive effect, developer’s strive for better, but I fear the negative is that the established go to site will suffer. Either way, that’s out of my hands and I wish you every success.
I'm hoping this is a 'rising tide lifts all boats' kind of situation. maxforlive.com is a really valuable website and it will continue to exist in the way it is now, I can hopefully just provide another venue that can complement what m4l.com has to offer.
@@ELPHNT if your site has set criteria then separating the wheat from the chaff won’t need to be done. There are hundreds of good devices on M4L but there are some that aren’t so good. Finding one that promises much and delivers little seems one of the biggest pitfalls of M4L. I suppose if people took the time to rate what they use it would be a way of seeing what’s good and what’s bad, giving future users a clue as to whether it would work for them. But very few people rate or comment as far as I can tell.
That said I’m liking a few people’s handiwork, at the moment I rate s8jfou’s work and shall comment soonish on them.
Like I said, good luck with the site, it may well liven things up a shade.
I see that you have an $18 LUFs matcher. Why not the free Volume Compensator you featured before?
I'm guessing you're referring to Volume Buddy?
Volume Buddy is on a whole other level and I wasn't aware of it when I did the other video (plus, I also wanted to cover something that was free).
Basically Volume Buddy does the same thing as the Volume Comp devices, but only 1 device is needed at it works much more seamlessly.
That said, if the free ones are working for ya, definitely no need to get something else 'cause functionally it achieves the same thing. You're just paying for a much slicker package.
Check out the video on the product page for a good overview.
@@ELPHNT Those plugins gives same results and across each others gives 0 difference.
@@alexphilipp Hey Alex 👋 Yup, like I said Volume Buddy and Volume Compensators are functionally exactly the same. I'd still highly recommend your devices for anyone looking for an excellent free option, but I think Volume Buddy does bring a little something extra to the table that makes it worth paying for - UX can make a huge difference to workflow. Having it all work inside of one device is really handy.
@@ELPHNT Thank You man! appreciated
I bought carver a while ago, but i don’t think it works on Apple Silicone, my Live set always crashes when I use it.
Please reach out to the dev about that - I'm sure they'll want to know so they can sort it out!
Can anyone recommend me an M4L device that is like a FL Studio style Step Sequencer? Its one of the things that Ableton doesn't have unfortunately.
Can you say a bit about how the FL step sequencer works - I'm not super familiar. There are plenty of pretty solid M4L step sequencers, so I'm sure there's something similar.
@@ELPHNT The FL Studio Channel Rack is basically the fastest workflow for drum sequencing that I've seen and all the drill/trap producers use it to start with their drum patterns. It gives you all of your drum tracks side by side and you click in 16th notes on a grid to very quickly get a basic pattern started. The closest thing I've found in Ableton is the Drum Rack in that it groups the drums together, but its so much slower because you have to draw in MIDI as opposed to just clicking into a step sequencer. Moreover, the Channel Rack is actually more flexible in the sense that you can draw in a step sequencer pattern for your 808s and Hi Hats but then move different notes up and down, whereas in the Drum Rack every sound only occupies one MIDI note so you have to drag the Sampler out of the Rack at some point into its own MIDI Track. The Channel Rack also allows you to store Patterns, so having a M4L Step Sequencer that allows you to quickly fill in 16th notes for Drums and stores different patterns would be the closest thing.
@@George-nx8zu The only thing that comes to mind for me right now is encoder audio's Polyrandom - encoderaudio.sellfy.store/p/sduh/
It's intended for doing cool polyrhythmic sequencing (for which is pretty good!) but you might be able to use it in a fairly standard way too.
I'll check out some vids of the FL sequencer to get more of an idea of how it works as well. I'll be there are probably just a few workflow/shortcut adjustments you could make in Live to achieve a similar speed of work, even without Max.
😢😂
This is so perfect, and if you can shoot to your email subs when there is a cool sale(s) going on. I was just looking at the M4L website yesterday and thinking the exact same thing, "this is too much to go through and these search results are getting weak". Big M4L fan too.
ml.distance is great
