In this segment of the free Ableton Live 12 music production class, J. Anthony Allen walks viewers through the Audio Effects section of Ableton Live. He shows how to open the Audio Effects browser, explains that the suite edition includes a larger set of effects and presets, and demonstrates that any effect can be dragged onto either an audio or MIDI track, allowing multiple effects to be stacked. Allen highlights that each effect contains a collection of presets accessible by opening the effect’s folder. He then discusses the organizational change from Live 11, where effects were grouped into a handful of folders, to Live 12, which presents all effects in a single alphabetical list, noting the controversy around the folder‑grouping approach. The segment concludes by transitioning to the next topic, MIDI Effects.

Okay, up next is Audio Effects. Relatively simple, but works kind of the same as Instruments. So if we click on Audio Effects here, we can see all the audio effects in Live. Again, this is somewhere where you will see the difference between Suite and the other versions. You will have less of these if you don't have Suite, but inside, each of these effects will have a bunch of presets for those effects. And any effect we can drag right onto a track, it can be an audio or MIDI track, and it's going to show up. You can put a whole bunch of them on a track if you want, like that, and make big, long, crazy effects. Or you can open it up and grab a preset and put it right on a track. Okay, now, if you're in a different version of Live, you might see these grouped into folders. There's been quite a controversy about this idea. In Live 11, they grouped all of these into, I think, five or six different folders, and then a Live 12. I got rid of the folders. So if you're in Live 11, you have all the same stuff. Well, you have most of the same stuff, but they're just grouped into folders. And in Live 12, we don't have any folders. They're just in an alphabetical list, which is just fine as well. Just remember, open up these little folders and you will get a bunch of presets for that effect. All right, nothing more to see here. Let's move on to MIDI Effects.
