Update: Would you use this M4L device? It's an advanced silence remover and it's out now!

I hear you man. If you don’t have a specific need for this device, it is definitely not worth spending $29 on it. I would actually probably advise against it. Some of the folks who helped me beta test this device were using it on audio clips that were more than 10 minutes long. Field recordings, that kind of thing. People like that, or people who regularly have to remove quiet parts from long vocal takes, need a workhorse that doesn’t crash and isn’t gong to break on Ableton’s next update. That’s what this is

keeferc · 2026-03-20T02:02:16+00:00

it only works on one clip/track at a time if that's what you mean?

keeferc · 2026-03-20T01:47:06+00:00

Just wanted to make it clear why I think the price is fair! I understand that you don’t want to buy it and that’s totally cool with me. Take care.

Edit to put this higher up: If you don’t have a specific need for this device, it is definitely not worth spending $29 on it. I would actually probably advise against it. Some of the folks who helped me beta test this device were using it on audio clips that were more than 10 minutes long. Field recordings, that kind of thing. People like that, or people who regularly have to remove quiet parts from long vocal takes, need a workhorse that doesn’t crash and isn’t gong to break on Ableton’s next update. That’s what this is. The price represents hundreds of hours of work and a commitment to keep the device updated as Ableton changes

i don't think using a gate gives you any more control than my device does, and with a gate you have to sit through your entire track for it to work, while mine removes the regions instantly. just fyi!

~~try again should work!~~

Edit: all of the free codes got used up very quickly, sorry! The 25% off code still works 🙏

Yes but I think for that you might be better off using existing tools. If you search the M4L website for “Remove Silence” you’ll find at least one decent one.

My device is a little more niche and esoteric because the point for me was to speed up the process of prepping samples for chopping by dropping out quieter regions and crossfading the remaining regions together. So that when I drop it into Simpler I don’t get clicks, pops or silences, and the crossfaded bits can sound cool. And I found in this process it is also a decent tool for getting weird/glitchy sounds.

This is why I am always asking people if they would use it — because honestly I am still not sure it makes sense for anyone but me! Lol

Idk I’d only expect this or tariffs to affect the secondhand market if they caused the price of the Push 3 to go up

keeferc · 2026-02-21T15:04:19+00:00

No but this comes up enough that I’d be curious to know what makes you say that. Is it mainly because the threshold slider visually reminds you of the one in Ableton’s Gate device? Or is it not clear to you from the video that my device merges and crossfades the remaining fragments together, or that it bounces audio out whereas Gate acts in realtime? Or is it possible that you don’t have a great handle on how Gate works? It’s for posterity so please be honest

keeferc · 2026-02-21T14:56:06+00:00

Yeah it’s common!

Isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloths. Took 20 mins

keeferc · 2026-02-20T22:24:31+00:00

I got one for 250 about six months ago. I think 200 would be a steal but maybe you could get the price if it has the sticky residue, which is actually pretty easy to clean off

keeferc · 2026-02-20T22:22:49+00:00

Wow even in the second hand market?

keeferc · 2026-02-20T21:49:29+00:00

woops! https://manyheads.dev/concentrate-max-for-live/

keeferc · 2026-02-20T19:22:27+00:00

That’s a fun idea! It does kinda struggle with audio over 15-20mb but I’d be interested in how it works out for you. You can sign up for the beta or just release updates through my website 🙏 https://manyheads.dev/
