Ohmicide is the shit, so much so I am considering making a dedicated controller for it
I use frohmage at least once in every project and some random old freebies from audio damage too.
Those 2 companies are just on top of their shit, really fun and great audio fidelity

Random Fact: The guy who writes the Audio Damage plugins is Chris Randall from Sister Machine Gun fame! (90s Industrial Band)

Ah you guys are awesome, this is exactly the type of info I am looking for! - I just transported Traktor in to Ableton live for some new effect, been messin' around with The Finger/Artillery but I want MORE!

It seems as solid as a rock during performances) That and Effectrix. I don't think I use many Ableton only effects other than like verbs, etc.

I'm glad to know you're familiar with both Lucifer and Effectrix, since I was thinking of incorporating one in my upcoming setup. As far as I've understood they both do pretty much the same thing, glitchy effects and such. Which one would you recommend if you had to choose?

Wouldn't it btw be easier (for the processor) to put the Lucifer in a send channel or two instead of all the channels?

I'm not sure if I buy that they do the same thing, as I get two very different things out of them. I think they're both great for their own purposes! you can get a demo of effectrix I believe and try it yourself, as far as lucifer, you have to write the guy personally to get a copy.

I've experimented with tossing it onto send channels, and I just don't get the independent sound I'm looking for. (being able to set certain styles/types to different channels. I wouldn't want a song channel and a drum channel getting the same effect typically.). And Lucifer really doesn't eat enough processor for me to worry.
