MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE

The Suite edition of Live 11 includes four main new effects: PitchLoop89 (a pitchshifting effect inspired by an obscure, primitive digital pitch-shifter, the Publison DHM 89 B2), Hybrid Reverb (a dual algorithmic and convolution reverb suitable for both standard and sound design-esque reverbs), and Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time (which respectively create resonant comb filter-like and granular delay-style effects). Also included with the Live 11 Suite are three new great-sounding instruments in collaboration with Spitfire Audio (Upright Piano, Brass Quartet and String Quartet), three new sound packs (Voice Box, Mood Reel and Drone Lab), and six ‘Inspired by Nature’ chance-based instrument and effects. These don’t feel as substantial as previous, meatier additions to Live such as 10’s Wavetable and Echo, but they are of a decent enough quality and their quirky nature makes them complementary to 11’s chance-based features.
