Okay dis is a question to all the ableton users on diz message board.
What plugins ( VST/AU/whtva ) do you think are essential for DJing with ableton? ^ ^
My list is...
Scratch my Waveform 2.3
Waveform Doubler
Super Looper
Fizzy EQ
and Reino's Dynamic EQ builder :D
I'm new to Ableton so a short explaination of the plugins and what makes them essential would be handy <3
im not talking about the built in ones that come with ableton! :b i mean third party plugins ^ ^
You can learn all bout da ableton ones by jus messing round wit them or looking at various specific tutorials on them, since theyre so diverse and complicated :D
The main types of plugins there are tho are:
Instruments: like virtual instruments, samplers, drum machines, synthesizers, etc
Effects: Eq, mastering, compression, filters, etc
and Midi plugins
but theres like soooooo many of them its oober hard to know what da best ones are! XP
I mean an explanation to the third party ones you mention.
It's easier for you just to write a few words about them than me g00gling for half-a-day.
I'm currently looking over all the internal ones and have to admit that Ableton's documentation is really good.
iight ^ ^
Scratch my Waveform 2.3 like puts a waveform in front of you so you can do a lil scratching, or beat jumping, nudging, looping, etc pretty easily <333
Waveform Doubler lets you look at multiple waveforms in ableton tho only able to control one! :{
Super Looper lets you loop on da fly in ableton ^ ^
Fizzy EQ is the best EQ for djing ive come accross as a plugin :D
and Reino's Dynamic EQ builder is for doing more smash mixes when you need to do complicated eq changes back n forth fast, which makes for really trippy shiz XD
id liek to know more of what some of the more common ones are that ppl love and use alot, i hear native instruments plugins alot, camel audio alot, etc
What kind do u use? XD
All of those plugins arnt so easy to find using google searches, how about some links ?
