Ableton VSTs

Ableton VSTs
Posted on: 22.02.2011 by Olene Minyard
What are the absolute top VSTs out there. Mainly used for live DJ sets, but useful ones for music production would be good too. Already been recommend NI's Massive.

Also, anyone got any pointers towards setting up quality effect racks in Ableton?

I'll be controlling it with a VCI-100 (crossfade, volumen, loops, sampler), Launchpad (launching clips mainly) and LPD8 (effects) so I'll have plenty of assignable controls for the effects.

Here are some Ableton Live racks I made just for DJing and live performance:

Is this the kind of rack you were after?

If it is then awesome, if not let me know what you need and I'm sure I can knock something up. You will need dblue tapestop for the turntable effect, the rest should already be in abes.

let me know what you believe and if you like it, feel free to sing my praises....

Yeah, Reaktor is a VSTi (lol, STI...) and M4L is... Well.

If someone needs to ask WHAT VSTs to use, I'd bet they're not ready for Reaktor OR M4L. (Neither of which are really VST's anyway...)

Reaktor and M4L two are must haves.

Fuck VSt/AU

challenge yourself, make your first track in your DAW and DAW only.

then add a VST/AU or two
make another track

yes they may suck

but jst do it
learn how to use each piece.

suck at it

then dont suck at it
repeat!

Cheers for these. I've visited KVR and got most of them, along with one or two others I liked the sound of.

Only one I can't get, and like the sound of is InstaJungle 0.3. Seems impossible to find!!!

Everything you listed can be done with stock effects.

I want them to be a bit creative with my set. Wanna have sweeping filters, stutters, beat repeat, beat masher etc and was looking for VSTs that are useful in a live arena mainly.

To be honest, you don't really need VSTs for DJing. Sure they're nice to have, but kind of a novelty.

I do have Suite yes, and glad I asked now before scouring VSTs! Only just beginning to look into using Ableton as a live tool so I'll look into the effect racks you noted. Cheers!

Do you have Ableton suite? If you do then suite already comes with a whole bunch of excellent effect racks under the Audio Effect/Audio Effect Racks folder.

There is even a sub folder in there for performance and DJ.

I'd definitely look into that before getting more VSTs.
