ELPHNT Console EQ [AMXD]

Get an analog mixing workflow inside Ableton Live.

Modelled on a classic hardware channel strip, Console EQ intentionally limits your choices while still being flexible enough for most situations.

It’s not analog; it’s better.

Mix Like It’s 1976
Four bands of EQ plus high and lowpass filters. Top it off with an analog-modelled saturation stage for some warmth and colour.

Console EQ is fully Push compatible, including Push standalone, getting you closer to the feel of mixing on real hardware.

Workflow Matters
Ableton Live already has the powerful EQ Eight and the slimmed-down Channel EQ, so why do you need another equaliser?

Personally, as much as I love those options, they provide ‘too many choices’ and an inherently digital workflow.

I’ve always loved the limitations of working on a physical mixing console, where your decisions are influenced by what’s given to you. I find I make more deliberate and ultimately better decisions working in this way.

I built Console EQ to simulate this ‘analog’ way of working, and I prefer what I can achieve by mixing like this.

I hope Console EQ inspires you and helps you make the music you want.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Ableton Live 11+
  • Max For Live 8.5+
  • Max For Live is included with Ableton Live Suite or available as an add-on for Live Standard
  • Compatible with Push Standalone

What’s Included

  • 1 Console EQ.amxd
  • 1 Console Mini.amxd
  • 1 Getting Started Guide.pdf

Groove3 iZotope Trash Explained [TUTORIAL]

If distortion is your thing, you’ll love the newly re-imagined Trash plugin effect from iZotope. In this iZotope Trash video course, production ace Larry Holcombe will show you all you need to know about this powerful audio-twisting plug-in and how to tweak every parameter to dial in exactly what you want it to do. Whether you’re looking for subtle saturation and color, absolute bone-crushing sonic mayhem, or anything in between, you’ll be ready to achieve it after viewing this course. These iZotope Trash video tutorials are designed for new users.

Larry begins with an overview of the plug-in, including a tour of the interface and a demonstration of the basic workflow, so you can start having fun and experimenting right away. Then it’s down to the details, and first up is a look at the multi-band display, which allows you to apply different amounts and types of distortion to each of the three frequency bands. Learn about the Trash module as well—the heart of the plug-in—and see how to select from four different distortion types and blend them via the XY pad.

Next up, explore the Convolve module, where you’re able to set your sounds into different virtual spaces (including your own impulse files) for further sonic-sculpting and sound design possibilities. This is followed by an explanation of the Envelope module, which allows you to generate motion in your sound by routing the envelope follower to the Trash, XY pad, and Filter modules. The remaining topics include the Filter module (for altering the harmonic content of your sound) and Input/Output sections (for setting levels and/or using the auto gain and limiter functions). Larry closes out the course by demonstrating the plug-in action on two different projects—a trap and a house—so you can hear how it works in context.

Watching this iZotope Trash video course is the easiest and quickest way to learn how to dirty up your tracks with Trash in countless creative ways! Not only will you have fun exploring all the possibilities, but you’ll also save hours of trial and error, which can instead be spent on getting creative with that next idea.

8Dio Bazantar [KONTAKT]

Welcome to the Bazantar by Mark Deutsch
The Bazantar is a custom five-string acoustic bass, fitted with an additional twenty-nine sympathetic strings and four drone strings. It has a melodic range of over five octaves, with a sympathetic range of four octaves. This results in an interplay between melodic, sympathetic, and drone strings which weaves an unexpected landscape of resonance that is remarkably rich in texture.

The Bazantar contains over 2,700 samples divided into two main categories: Multi-samples and phrase-samples. The multi-samples consist of plucked and bowed representations, with and without vibrato, with up to 10 round robins per note, as well as dynamic sustains/swells. We phrase-sampled Mark Deutsch playing the bass traditionally and with backside of the bow (Col Legno).

We added a variety of controls (ex. pedal volume, release volume, noise reduction, EQ) a visual velocity editor, and a great selection of convolution reverbs and convolution effects. The instrument was recorded in a rich church environment with two sets of microphones (close/internal and ambient/player), so users can adjust the sound to their liking.

MICROPHONES AND OPTIONS
The Bazantar was recorded in a lush church environment with multiple microphone positions. We combined dozens of different microphones into two main mic stems. The first one is a close, dry perspective. The other is a Far stem, which gives you a more ambient and traditional orchestral perspective. You can use them individually or dial them together.

ADVANCED ARTICULATIONS
The Bazanatar also features a wealth of advanced articulations, including four types of expressive arcs, plucked (jazz inspired) pizzicato, multi-sampled taps, sustains with both vibrato and non-vibrato, and a massive collection of additional phrase material. So, you get the best of both worlds with multi-samples and phrases.

FRONT-FACED FX AND CHAOS FX
The Bazantar contains two parallel FX systems. The first is our new Front-Faced FX, which allows you to control the most fundamental effects (ex. Step Based Filtering, Pitch, Delay, and our new Textural Delay). You can also go deeper with our Chaos FX system, which includes Phase Modulation, EQ, Bit-Crusher, Distortion, Dual Delays, and more!
