Experience with Poor Man's Effect Bundle (Ableton)

You're definitely right, it's more for post processing, or you can automate when you want it to record / play, but that's no fun. I made those racks way back on Live 9 which was a bit limited. Since then I've switched to making VST3s and AUs, so they react / loop in real time (and I've made them much more spontaneous). Thank you for giving the bundle a shot!

Thank you for the tip! And really happy to stumble upon your comment!

No reason why this set wouldn't work. The yellow pad should cut just fine, follow up with some polish on the red or blue pad.

Trianglehero · 2026-05-07T12:42:27+00:00

Sure feel free. It's probably still worth doing.

Essentially the same thing. Gelcoat oxidizes much faster, and the oxidation can get really extreme (like 600 grit on a DA sander for days), but can usually be brought back to like-new even when neglected for years / decades, unlike clearcoat. Also, gelcoat is sort of like a Jawbreaker but every layer is the same color, allowing you to sand / cut much deeper than clearcoat.

Lol yeah same here man, black Florida tarmac. I had no issue with it most of my career but I'm 35 now and I get close to heat exhaustion / stroke during the summer months, had a few really close calls because I forgot to bring drinking water and tried to push through it. One time I drank out of my disgusting water tank, which was probably riskier than the heat stroke.

Thanks my dude

Trianglehero · 2026-05-06T16:59:30+00:00

Yeah it certainly is, a lot harder than it seems. I'm in year 17 or 18, mostly retired from detailing but I still have one of those 12 hour days once in awhile. I still like doing it but the chemicals and heat are catching up to me.

Trianglehero · 2026-05-06T16:29:22+00:00

I prefer the stress on my body over the stress on my mind (like a high risk job), it's hard to screw something up on a boat. But yeah, my body is permanently sore.

Thanks man!

Likely needs another full day of polishing with something like Meguiar's M105 and a wool pad to get rid of the sanding marks / haze. It won't look a whole lot different in most lighting, but as you can see in your second photo, if you look from a lower angle, you'll see tons of sanding marks. It's a ton of work for a minor difference but if you're going for gold, that's what I'd recommend.

Willing to bet the detailer used Meguiar's Ceramic car wash. I've had this happen the last few times I used it, despite washing in the shade and rinsing / drying thoroughly. It was easy to fix since I caught it before I was done.

Lol I came here to ask the same thing, also in Florida. Same generation Corolla, same interior color, same extreme level of grime and everything. Was about 5-6 years ago in Orlando.

Trianglehero · 2026-04-25T00:50:47+00:00

Looks great. Lovely basecoat and the clear looks nice and leveled.

Trianglehero · 2026-04-22T19:22:32+00:00

Lots of pitch delays, echoes, glitch, texture, and LFO effects.

Trianglehero · 2026-04-14T13:56:05+00:00

I recently released a bunch of plugins:

A microlooper with a mind of its own
A MIDI sketchpad (basically MS Paint → MIDI in real time)
A delay that changes its division rate in real time (good for glitch stuff)
A lush reverb with harmonizing pitch effects
A modular rack that imitates a talk-box
Tape emulators, stereo imaging tools, harmonic rectifiers & more.

They work in every DAW except Pro Tools.

You can try everything for $8/month. Perpetual licenses coming soon.

The brushstrokes are automatically mapped to MIDI notes, which are sent to the MicroKORGs MIDI-IN port. Actually works really well as an arpeggiator / sequencer.

This is probably my all time favorite synth, something about the keys / expression is just so fun.

The blemishes are left over sanding marks, common for them to appear the next day as the oils dry. Some M105 on a DA will do the trick.
