The last tag, ‘Utilities’ could be renamed to ‘Tools’ as that’s what it contains. Tagged as a creative effect, I have plugins such as Effectrix, LFO Tool, Camel Crusher, WOW2, Melodyne, and Moog’s Multimode Filter. For example Modulation, Distortion, Saturation, Tape Processing, Filters, the list goes on. The Creative Effects tag contains all of the plug-ins that will, for lack of a better word ‘effect’ a sound once it has been created. But I’d like to cover ‘Creative Effects and ‘Utilities’ separately. I’ve made sure to include at least one of each processing effect: an EQ, Compressor, Reverb, Delay and a couple of Synthesisers/Samplers.Īfter favourites the next four tags are self-explanatory. As to what you keep within this collection, well, that comes down to your favourite plugins, but here’s how mine is looking:
Because of this, I’ve found the ‘Favourites’ folder to be invaluable, in here, I’m storing all of my most commonly used plugins, my favourites. Like many producers, even though I own a gazillion plug-ins, I only use around 5% of them on a regular basis. Regardless, sorting through plugins is slow and inefficient if you’re lazy like me and don’t like typing them into a search option. There is an option to hide them in the software, but it doesn’t seem to work for me.
BEST VST FOR ABLETON MAC LICENSE
even if you only hold one license you see all of their plugins.
BEST VST FOR ABLETON MAC DOWNLOAD
For those unfamiliar with UA plugins, you download their whole plugin bundle with the ability to demo the ones that you don’t own licenses too. The problem with both of these is that it takes quite some time to find the desired plugin as both options are just a gigantic list inside of Ableton. One issue I had was the structure of the Waves bundle as well as the Universal Audio collection. I have been trying my best to minimise the number of plugins I own but hey, who am I kidding, I want them all. However, for users of audio units (Apple’s equivalent) I at least, couldn’t find a way to categorise and arrange my plug-ins. If you’re not on Live 10 yet, a similar concept could be achieved in Live 9 with VST instruments using the ‘User Library’ feature. I choose to use the collections feature as a way of tagging all of my plugins into their given category, after some playing around, it ended up looking like so: Many users have opted to use this tagging system as a way of organising their sample library, I prefer Samplism for this, but I also don’t think that only seven tags are enough to properly organise your sounds.
The collections feature gives you seven different coloured tags, which can be named to your liking. But, in saying that it has had a huge impact on the speed in which I’m able to find my plugins, which as any producer will know, makes a big difference to your workflow. I have received many requests to cover the plugin section again, in further detail.Ībleton introduced a new ‘collections’ feature with the recent an nouncement and beta release of Live 10, this feature is by far from being revolutionary, and feels a little half thought out if I’m honest. This post is a further exploration of an previous entry I made, on how I organise my plugin and sample library.
