I am very choosy about the samples I use, and I usually have a specific idea in mind for the sample I want before I go out and find it.įor this reason, I prefer subscription sample services like Loopcloud. However, I cannot recall ever using the stock sounds that come with Ableton Live Suite. It comes with multiple sound libraries, ranging from orchestral instruments to drum beats to those wobbly bass sounds that we enjoy. Furthermore, external plugins run the risk of crashing your DAW. However, be aware that external plugins are typically more intensive on your CPU than Ableton’s stock plugins. I still think that Ableton Live Intro is too limited due to its maximum of 16 tracks and 2 sends. If you think that you will mostly use external plugins, then you may be better off getting the Standard edition of Ableton. There are also many free plugins out there …
#Ableton live 11 install
If you don’t want to be stuck using the simple EQ Three (low, mid, high) equalizer that comes with Live Intro, you can install a third-party equalizer like Ozone 9 Equalizer.

Therefore, if you choose to go with a less expensive edition of Ableton, you can still use VST plugins from external companies to suit your needs.įor instance, Ableton Live Intro does not have an EQ Eight plugin.

While Ableton Live Intro and Standard may have limited effects than its bigger sibling, Live Suite, they are not limited in the VST plugins that you can install. This leads me to … Why Not Just Use External Plugins?
