Life by XLN Audio (Patreon)

Hey everyone, welcome back to my video on "Live" by XLN Audio, a new VST plugin. Here's a quick summary of what I covered:

• Introduction to "Live" by XLN Audio: This new VST plugin is designed to slice audio material, offering both an auto slicer and manual slicing options.
• Features of the Plugin:Denoise Option: Useful for removing unwanted noise like hums, clicks, and pops.
  Creating Beats: Has a 'Randomize' feature for generating different slices and patterns to create unique beats.
  Audio Effects and Pattern Variations: You can send slices to different audio effects and add variations to the patterns.
  Save and Shortcut Creation: Allows saving and quickly switching between different beats.
  Kick Drum Lane: Includes pre-made kick drum sounds like 909, 707, etc., and allows pattern and sound changes.
  
• Advanced Editing Options:Easy Mode vs. Edit Lane: While easy mode offers quick slicing, the edit lane offers detailed control with groove lanes, pattern adjustments, nudging, transient shaping, and more.
  Multi-Channel Output: The plugin supports multi-channel output, allowing sending to different channels in your DAW.
  Additional Effects: Includes tilt EQ, panning options, stereo effects from mono samples, pitch adjustments, and more.
  
• Sample Integration:Uploading to Cloud: Samples can be dragged in, trimmed, named, and uploaded to the XLN cloud.
  Mobile Integration: The plugin pairs with an iPhone app for on-the-fly recording and sample integration.
  Normalization Feature: Suggested as an improvement for better handling of quiet samples.
  
• Recording and Library Options:Live Door Recorder Plugin: Allows recording from various sources directly into the plugin.
  Predefined Sound Library: Comes with a library of sounds and patterns for quick use.
  
• Export Options and Price: The plugin allows exporting beats and samples, priced at around 100 bucks for the introduction and 140 bucks normally.
• My Thoughts: Overall, I find the plugin efficient and fun, especially the easy mode for creating percussion loops. The cloud aspect might be a concern for some users, especially regarding storage and copyright material.
• Conclusion: I plan to create more videos using this plugin and exploring its capabilities further.
