Top 12 Effects for NI Reaktor (Free Download)
Top 12 Effects for Native Instruments Reaktor Back in 2018, we posted about Top 12 Instruments for Native Instrument’s Reaktor.

EboSuite – Next Level Video in Ableton Live
EboSuite – Next Level Video in Ableton Live This week we’ll take an in-depth look at an amazing video manipulation plugin called EboSuite. EboSuite is a suite of MaxforLive devices that you can use to edit, cut, and manipulate video within Ableton Live. Technically it is operated through MaxforLive devices but the actual application runs outside of Ableton Live. This genius tactic is what makes is so darn useful in avoiding the common fallbacks of MaxforLive and video. Most MaxforLive video devices give you the fun ole’ start-stop-start-stop clunkiness we’ve grown to love but EboSuite bucks that trend. In this article, we’ll run through the initial steps of setting up video with the plugin, then cover the large swath of devices and FX you can use with it.
