Monomono's devices are great, they have an analog eq, compressor and tape devices, elphnt has some cool devices aswell, texture and console eq are great!

My most used M4L devices (just looking at my sketch template and picking some out in no order) NTPD2. -Write settings/things you need to remember within live, very nice. BiP (bounce in place) - Useful to get things into audio quickly to stop frying the cpu without needing to make a channel/set up record etc. Euclidean Sequencer Pro - Nice way to sequence drums or melodies. Patterning 1/2/3 and an ipad are better but this is a decent alternative. Sting - Gets that 303 style sequence going. Volume Buddy - Will save you money on fancy plugins that don't include gain-staging (I wonder why?) Honestly though, I've been fooled by "louder is better" then reduced the volume to match and found out I wasn't doing the sound any favours too many times to count. Delay Time Calculator - useful for quickly dialing in efx pedals and other things without doing simple math. (I have a bunch of hardware hooked up and a lot of it doesn't have midi-in) Song Sketch - Quickly arrange track to standard sub genre, just add ear candy/efx/fills. This will get you out of the endless loop and tell you if your initial idea is actually decent or if it falls apart. Knowing if elements become annoying, repetitive, or boring filler when the song should keep someone dancing/attentive/awake/in the venue over 5-8 minutes is vital. Retro Samplr Pro - Fun little sampler alternative for crunchy lofi downsampling. Bc Res Control - Makes your resonator go along with your midi notes so those Berlin Style resonated synth hits actually follow the key/progression of your track instead of staying stuck. Chord Pallate - This is a cool device that integrates with live 12. Good idea generator when you're chasing "the feels". Fletchwork Pro with Dmmg Pro Fors - Opal blööps blöcks - Fun Sequencer 🙏

Thank you for covering Varispeed!

I’m considering making more DnB focused videos rather than just using examples but honestly I just started making dnb seriously. Glad you like it tho! 🙏 Speaking of drums - it’s just a combination of sound selection, volume shaping and a looot of clipping with parallel compression. I’ll be talking about kicks in my upcoming video 😉

the vector devices are fun

Oh yeah at the very end you mentioned the idea of designing your own plugins. Well with Max4Live you actually don't have to code as you can use the node-based visual scripting. I've heard though that Plugdata has better ease of use and it can do certain things that Max4live would be otherwise be limited in(only limitation is plugdata patches require the base software to run). A producer called Nasko actually made some groundbreaking plugins in Plugdata. One is an easy to use spectral compressor(with the option to retain certain formants) and another is spectral envelope follower that is used to get rid of pre/post ringing added from plugins(like Pitchmap) or as a spectral sound design tool. Ultimately though its really what you're looking for when making a plugin so both are great.

Damn, thanks for the detailed info! Like I said I think to dedicate some time on the side to get into making those type of plugins/devices. Btw isn’t Nasko the man behind Chroma as well? 😉

@@Zdrewe for sure. it's just a more consistent ducking effect. even if the vocal is dynamic, it will duck the same level. At this point in 2024, any minor improvement of a technique is worth getting hype about haha
