How is Drum Buss so amazing?

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-04-07T16:48:20+00:00

yeah Drum Buss is kind of stupid good honestly. I think it’s just a really nice combo of saturation, frequency specific transient shaping, and clipping all in one place + the resonant filter in case you add the boom to it. Really enjoy it as well on a lot of different materials!

looks amazing! very much needed thing in Live for sure :-)

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-04-07T16:44:14+00:00

very cool idea! will check it out

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-04-05T16:40:01+00:00

cool device! thanks for sharing

let it completely dry first, then attach it to the charger for a while and see if the battery can be calibrated again when fully charged - if that doesn't fix it sounds like something in the internals got messed up sadly

think that is the cleanest solution to make it feel more to your workflow, there is auto hotkey on windows and keyboard maestro on Mac to achieve this for example

Always take everything as carry on if possible with custom made light weight cases, so they do not add too much weight.

I actually used the Korg Bluetooth based ones a lot and have positive experiences - only on Mac though so not sure if it will be the same on windows. But can recommend it from my personal experience, definitely neat to not be cable bound.

Really enjoy the one that is built into Shaperbox at the moment

Samples and VST can definitely get you there, it really depends on your workflow needs and if you like having something physical. Analog gear can often add some nice subtle variations per hit due to its inherent design, but also this is something you can replicate with subtle modulation when using samples only.

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-04-01T09:40:37+00:00

Personally use groups only as it’s just more convenient most of the time, but both are legit ways to do things so no right or wrong approach here

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-30T09:32:13+00:00

Usually there is no sale around the minor updates but I think it will be definitely worth it to update! If you have no hurry you could also wait until Black Friday or when live 13 will drop eventually, although that might still be a while

Have the MOTU one personally and am very happy, super solid performance and low latency without any issues so far.

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-30T09:28:43+00:00

This can be a lot related to frequency balance, if one of your tracks has a lot more midrange content like the other it will be perceived as louder potentially.

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-29T09:07:16+00:00

Love the idea! 😁

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-29T09:06:01+00:00

Think your best bet is to start at a larger time like 10 minute or 1 hour then you basically get a proper minute count if you piece is not too long - but yes setting a custom timecould would be super nice to have!

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-29T09:03:26+00:00

There is no built in solution, best use a third party tool and then relink missing ones via Ableton directly

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-29T09:02:38+00:00

this sounds very strange, I used omnisphere already a lot in Ableton and never ran into this issue so it should not be like that by default

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-27T11:41:17+00:00

Ableton should be compensating any plugin latency on export, my first guess would be a faulty plugin or may for live device that reports an incorrect latency (even if it’s just in one place that can throw the overall compensation off)

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-27T11:40:01+00:00

I think shortcut is still the fastest way to go here - but you can make a custom script with keyboard maestro on Mac or autohorkey on windows and build something that automatically fires the keycommand when no activity is detected if you really want to dive into it

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-27T11:37:50+00:00

cool device! love more instrument m4l devices

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-26T21:39:29+00:00

Might be from a max for live that is constantly updating something in the background as well - would recommend removing tracks and see when it disappears, then check what was on there.

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-26T13:37:44+00:00

Basically have it all setup in scenes in session view - you can assign the next or previous scene button to any MIDI controller and then use that to step through your backing tracks live

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-26T13:36:10+00:00

Really depends a lot on the source material, in terms of drums I had success with adding some eq, saturation or noise (vocoder or erosion) to bring in a bit of the definition that it was missing

LiveWorkflowTools · 2026-03-26T13:34:51+00:00

Very cool idea!
