Using Max for Live Visualisers
Slanj Va!
You’ve just found your whisky fuelled music production life coach!
In this week’s post, you can check out the recent video I made, using max for live visualisers. A lot of people get worried when it comes to Max for Live, imagining complex programming and uber-nerdy technical terms.
If you want to make devices, it can be like that, but if you just want to use them, I am glad to report they are as easy as using any other plug in

To install a Max for Live Device,
download the Max for Live device,
open Ableton,
and then open the Max for Live Device once Ableton is open
To Export
Most of these I tried won’t bounce or export as a video, so the solution is to use a screen recorder app (eg OBS or your built in screen recorder) to record the results, then trim the start and end of the video using a basic video editor.
