techniques, solutions & ideas for effects, buildups, breakdowns, drum rolls. etc

anyone perform live with live?
struggling on getting effects right.
I'm referring to elements on individual tracks and in drum racks.
I know how to use.
just wondering if anyone has any tips for using and some things you could do (that i have not thought of.

I'm adding stuff to a regular DJ set. extra elements.
how would you create some of these effects:
drum rolls (got the arpeggiator working for it, but it needs a trigger for it) and adding Echo or some delay on the build up.
not looking for pre recorded clips, but a way me generating on the fly, and controlling the effect realtime. if I bring it in too late, I can still get the effect to climax at the point needed. (beginning or end of a breakdown for example)
I play Trance, and nobody plays live with extra
things added.
I think some of what the Techno people do would be useful to know how they put thing together.

Drum Rolls = Beat Repeat. <You're gonna have LOTS of fun with Beat Repeat.

You can also try ading a Simple Delay, Reverb, Ping Pong Delay, Filter Delay...

Learn about Racks. And learn about the Chain Selector. FX racks are mental - and mapping parameters to teh 8 knobs n a rack can give you LOTS to play with.

Also - think about using effects on your Sends. Espsecially anything with a tail.

I already use racks and chain selector etc.

after more of the detail of what people use that works, rather than how to use ableton live.

+1 Beat repeat is a TON of fun....just remember to use it sparingly.

The Sweep Drama Effect from Priscilla remains a go-to Fx for me.

The Echo Freeze effect is another workhorse for me.

The Beat Masher is another that I use sparingly, but it is a good "get out of heck free" Fx. I tend to use this to great minor breakdowns in more repetative tracks....but combined with the Echo Freeze it is a nice way to dump a track in short order and jump to the next track.

they are traktor specific.... any ableton live equivalent?

those are the sorts of things i'm after, but for ableton live

Izotope's stutter edit is really easy to use.

Not forgetting artillery 2 from sugar bytes and the finger.
