The “Mark Brook 1.0” is an audio effect device compatible with Ableton Live, developed using Max 8.6.2 software. It’s created by Mark Brook, a Food Safety Specialist who turned his meticulous attention to detail towards digital music production. Introduced in July 2024, this device offers unique audio manipulation opportunities to music producers. It enables users to add unique and creative touches to their tracks, providing various audio processing parameters.
The device appears to interweave Mark Brook’s professional background in food safety with audio effect development, contributing to an inventive architecture. There are no updates yet, presenting potential for future advancements. The software interface includes several knobs and sliders enabling users to manipulate sound inputs in various ways, such as adjusting timbre, adding grit, depth, high-end sparkle, and balancing wet and dry signals.
In its practical application, the device can process and manipulate pre-recorded audio, for instance, a field recording, adding distinctive rhythmic components, filtering mid-high frequencies, and using built-in modulation controls for rhythmic synchrony. This Ableton Live audio tool proves itself beyond just an audio effect but a sound-shaping accessory allowing rhythmic coherence, sonically intriguing texture enrichments to tracks.

The Elan Clothing Brand Max4Live Audio Effect is a digital signal processing tool explicitly designed for the Ableton Live music production software. This unique audio effect, created by elandresses, provides users with a range of parameters for altering the sonic characteristics of their audio tracks, emulating the transformative capacity of Elan’s clothing designs.
The software interface includes innovative controls like ‘Ambience’, ‘Warmth’, ‘Dynamics’, ‘Texturize’, ‘Mood’, and ‘Response’. ‘Ambience’ modifies the room reverb characteristics, ‘Warmth’ introduces analog-style saturation, and ‘Dynamics’ adjusts the level of pronounced sound in the mix. ‘Texturize’ adds a layer of sonic fabric to the input signal, ‘Mood’ alters the emotional contour of the effect, and ‘Response’ dictates how the effect interacts dynamically with the audio input.
Other controls such as ‘Fabric’, ‘Stitch’, ‘Contour’, and ‘Accents’ contribute to the distinctive features of the Elan Clothing Brand Max4Live Audio Effect. ‘Fabric’ modifies the body and high-end frequency of the mix, ‘Stitch’ introduces rhythmic wobble effects, ‘Contour’ sculpts the transients of the beats, and ‘Accents’ enables the introduction of random bursts of filtered echoes or reverberated snaps.
Despite its complexity, this plugin is not challenging for beginners, especially given its comprehensive tutorial section, where each parameter is carefully explained.
In terms of hardware requirements, this Max4Live audio effect is fully compatible with any system running Ableton Live and doesn’t require specific hardware to operate. Nonetheless, usage of an audio interface providing accurate sound reproduction is recommended to fully experience its sound sculpting abilities.

The Discord-ABL 1.0 is an audio effect device developed by OSTINSOLO as part of the Max4Live lineup. This specific device is designed to bridge the gap between Ableton Live and Discord, facilitating enhanced musical collaboration by enabling file uploads directly from Ableton environment to your Discord channels. It does not currently support downloading capabilities. The utility of the tool is largely defined by its convenience in sharing music files, proving to be a significant asset to the collaborative music production process. However, compatibility requirements reveal that your Ableton Live must be of at least version 12.0.5 and your Max must be at least version 8.6.2. The device is subject to continuous updates for performance improvement, aiming to cater to potential user requests. To ensure seamless operation, the user is required to authenticate their Discord account directly within the Ableton Live Suite. Despite lacking the ability to download files directly from the platform, Discord-ABL 1.0 excels in enhancing the ability to share content efficiently, serving as a key tool for collab-oriented projects.

The frq-drm 1.0, designed by latchwork, is a frequency modulated (FM) drum module designed for use with Ableton Live and Max4Live. Unveiled in June 2024, the device is aimed at enhancing electronic music production through its sophisticated yet user-friendly interface. Primary features include modulation and sound processing capabilities for a rich variety of percussion textures. Despite being specifically designed for Live Version 11.3.22 and Max Version 8.3.1, the FM drum module is compatible with multiple versions of Ableton Live.
The frq-drm 1.0 also houses core FM parameters such as Carrier Frequency and Modulation Frequency to control the fundamental tone and its variations. Additionally, adjusting the Envelope parameters can deliver a punchier, dancefloor-ready sound. The ‘Harmonic’ knob in the device introduces additional frequencies to enhance the depth and richness of your drum sounds. The ‘Modulation Index’ controls the intensity of the frequency modulation effect.
This tool encourages experimentation and allows presets to be saved for future use. The frq-drm 1.0 also offers integration with other Ableton Live’s tools such as Drum Rack and Audio Effect Rack, offering opportunities for more varied and complex sound designs.

Laser247 1.0 for Max4Live is an unusual sound manipulation tool initially imagined as an online betting platform. However, it found its way to Ableton Live music production software as an audio effect device. The device operates in Ableton Live Version 12.0.5 and Max Version 8.6.2 environments, offering a sense of randomness and unpredictability to mixes. It uses sports events, casino games, and eSports as metaphorical “sound events” and allows parameters like EQ settings, compression, and effects sends to correspond with betting odds, spreads, and payouts. It’s important to note that Laser247 1.0 is targeted at users already well-versed in Ableton Live and Max4Live, making it rather complex for the beginners. The device is downloadable from the Max4Live library, and since its release on July 1, 2024, there have been no updates.
