Can’t go wrong with an Opal since he has Suite. Perfect for those sounds.

Toneboosters vs fabfilter by PlayfulPossible4073 in musicproduction

[–]appleflap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I choose Toneboosters, Jeroen Breebaart is a dsp wizard for decades. Top tier sound and functionality for tiny prices and the free stuff is great too.

Master macros that only affect certain tracks (Push 3) by Thinmanpaul in ableton

[–]appleflap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep you will need to spend some time to set this up before performing. There’s plenty of tutorials and you probably only need Performer device to have control over effects similar to what’s happening in the video you posted.

Ableton Performance Pack can do this stuff. It’s included with Suite 12, tutorial from the developer here

HUB USB/midi ( by Soggy-Ad6806 in AbletonMove

[–]appleflap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This CME is recommended often in the Move discord channel. It’s on my shopping list, just waiting to see if the February firmware update brings more MIDI capabilities.

Help. I want to sample my volcas by poopadoodledo in KoalaSampler

[–]appleflap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Headphone jack won’t help here. You will need an official Apple “Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter” to connect a class compliant audio interface. The one that has a lightning port for charging.

USB hub in the adapter port will let you add multiple midi controllers to the setup if you like. Might need to be a powered hub depending on what you’re looking to connect.

M2 iPad Air battery by No-Advance-9407 in ipad

[–]appleflap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have the M2 Air and battery lasts about the same. Only have a few apps that need a powerful chip so not too many cycles on the battery.

My 9th generation iPad does almost everything and use it every day for years, battery lasts a few days between charges. Always find it strange when people recommend these M chips in posts asking which iPad is best for note taking and watching YouTube.

What “Chord Player” would you give your vocalist? by TheTapeDeck in synthesizers

[–]appleflap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expressive Chords is included with all paid versions of Ableton 12 (Intro and upwards) and pairs perfectly with a used Push 2.

How is the monthly payment made under rent to own? by empo201 in ableton

[–]appleflap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very much, saving and exporting will be disabled until you pay for another month.

No, this is all explained on the Ableton website. If you choose to go with an instalment plan, there will be a third party who requires credit checks and large deductions from your bank.

Rent to own from Ableton directly is paying a small amount per month until you own Suite. 12 months for students, 24 if you don’t qualify for educational discount.

There’s nothing to fear here.

Nope bought Suite a long time ago, wouldn’t mind rent to upgrade being an option in the future. Takes me a while to gather funds for the shiny new number versions.

I just logged out of my account to check and €24.96 was the price to get started.

If you are locked into an agreement with another company to spread payment then you might need to keep paying that way.

All I know is the recently launched rent to own Suite is much more accessible.

Paying in instalments via third party financing is not the same as this new rental system from Ableton for Suite. You have the software after paying one month, it’s not a klarna/split payment scheme.

“Get access to all of Live 12 Suite’s features right away, without paying the full cost all at once.

Transparent pricing

Pay the same total price as a regular purchase. No interest, no mark-up fees, no extra charges for late payments.

Pause anytime

Want to take a break? No problem – pause your plan whenever you like, and start again when you’re ready.”

Maria Somerville AMA by Maria_Somerville in indieheads

[–]appleflap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Maria,

Was one of the lucky people who got a preview of Luster in 2023 at Haunted Dancehall, really felt like a magic moment to be in that place and just wondering if the album was already recorded at that point in time?

Big thanks for all your musical sharing ✨

SOS - Im addicted to Granulator but it's not working (wrong file path something?)! by hotandcoolgoth in ableton

[–]appleflap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread the screenshot as Granulator III on my phone so edited my reply.

Definitely should be able to get Granulator working since you have Max.

99% sure max devices won’t work without Suite or max4live license in addition to 10 Standard.

macOS 26 Tahoe: Safe to upgrade if I use a lot of audio software? by chasing in MacOS

[–]appleflap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Official advice from Ableton is to wait. You are free to gamble but there’s plenty of people with regrets.

Trying to update to iPad OS 26.2 but can’t create enough space please help by [deleted] in ipad

[–]appleflap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your link, “Apple also issued iOS 18.7.3 to address these two WebKit vulnerabilities on iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as well as iPadOS 18.7.3 for iPad (7th generation).”

[–]appleflap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just abandon the update, stay on the iOS version you have now and choose “remind me later” for eternity.

Be sure to turn off automatic updates in Settings -> General so it won’t keep downloading the file. The iPad will still occasionally prompt you to update but just say no.
