In this video I wanted to show how making Ableton Racks with the Soundtoys Effect rack and some of its other awesome features could make a case that the Effect Rack is a better value that the full Soundtoys 5 Bundle, given the price difference

With the "Black Friday Sale" going on right now, you just saved me a ton of $$. This video answered all my questions in 7:19 minuets. Thanks for making it clear concise and complete!
Thank you for this video! Picking it up for sure now.
Awesome!! You will love it and they have great sales right now
Tnx you I was undecided and you make me clear .. I will buy the efx rack
So glad it was helpful. Appreciate the feedback.
I recently bought the full Soundtoys 5.4. It includes EffectRack.
Why did I get it over effectrack? 1. I had a plug-in budget allowing either. 2. It was during the Black Friday sale, so half off. 3. I had gotten a free Little Plate but Soundtoys had the option to trade it for a discount on the bundle. Full bundle with tax $252.
Is your reasoning wrong to by effectrack instead? No, it is your money, your choice.
Good stuff man! I was wondering what to get on this current sale and I’ve been eyeing sound toys stuff for a while.
There are great sales on all their products through their website and Plugin Boutique (I think the sale ends today or tomorrow).
If you head over to Reddit:
www.reddit.com/r/AudioProductionDeals/
And look up the post about Soundtoys Sale I think the affiliate link he has on there for the JRRSHOP might save you a few more bucks on top of the sale price.
Thank you man I enjoy your videos
I really appreciate these kinds of comments!
Thanks so much
You are right but the most annoying part with the rack is wasting time opening the rack then inserting plugins again and again. Im a logic pro user and i do a lot of mixing and effects so i feel getting the individual plugins in the bundle is a better option if you are not on a budget
That’s why I created the preset racks in Ableton that basically function as a stand alone version for me
+extra CPU cost, +extra screen space, +extra buzz on screen, +extra hassle. Some people find these all are ok, but these would annoying me every day if I just use effect rack. I know myself. So I can pay extra 100 bucks for my mental helalth.
Great Video, thanks!
btw do you think the fxrack consume more cpu?
I have heard people say that it does but because I have never had the full bundle I cannot confirm. That being said I have never experienced any issues or felt like the EffectRack was a CPU hog at all.
@@_justin_joe excellent! I finally got it 😃
Thanks for the advice again, and have a great one!!
Cheers.
@@tadeocatzin6619 So glad to hear. It is a limitless tool box!! You will have loads of fun with it
Appreciate the video. Not really hearing you make a case for using one over the other. You said you were in a situation where you couldn't use full bundle, then you showed effect rack being used a bit, but I don't think you talked to your topic at all. That is, is it a good value? Why? Better value than full bundle? Why?
Thanks for the feedback. I definitely could have outlined my case better.....
Given the price difference (at least when not on sale as it is at the time of writing this), the fact that you are only really missing a couple of plug ins in their totality (and that can be added for pretty cheap when you catch the sales) I just don't see the true benefit or urge to ever purchase the full bundle. With the added features you actually get in the Effect Rack that I outlined in the video I can honestly say unless there was some crazy cheap upgrade path I have never even considered buying the full bundle. And this is coming from someone who suffers from GAS just as bad as anyone.
Little Alterboy is the only one that I really have a desire for and might pick it up this time around on the sale.
Does that make more sense for my case? 😀
YMMV
Hey so i can just buy effect rack and I’ll have all the presets I been seeing people use like the crystal clear choir I think that’s the name.
That is correct!! 😄
@@_justin_joe Thank You
thanks! very helpful!!!!
If I sign up to your patreon I get access to sound toys effect rack?
Absolutely!
It is up there now ready for download.
😃
Thanks for the support.
Just the preset
@@_justin_joe can I also get the Fabfilter total bundle and Ableton 11 Suite with your patron I’m signing up now
If you didn’t own the rack - now that Soundtoys 5 bundle and rack is on sale, would you grab the bundle or the effects rack?
Honestly I think that would depend on how badly you want the 3 plugins that are not included in the Rack. I picked up the rack a few years back for about the same price and the only plug I have really wanted is Alterboy. I just picked that one up on sale this time around for $39 so I am still saving money.
sound great but UAD does everything, problem with all the soundtoys effects rack and all the plugins is the latency, you cant do anything live or in real time with out stupid latency, I highly recommend too NOT buy their products until they sort this out cause they claim their software is m1 compatible and I still get latency!
I totally agree if you are doing live stuff and need little to no latency. I also have UAD and highly recommend their stuff as well for this. I use Soundtoys for mix down and sound design where latency is not an issue
@@_justin_joe I justified soundtoys rack and im shocked, the presets are so good, I dont think I could of tweaks anything like this on my own, at least not less then an hour or two, they laid out presets that are a good start for anyone
