Inserting plug-ins on ABLETON LIVE LITE
Once the project has been created and the tracks have been setup to send and receive out of the
corresponding USB channels of the mixer, you are able to follow a few extra steps in order to use
plug-ins inserted into the input channels. On ABLETON LIVE LITE, the process is quick and easy.
1. Once your tracks are setup to receive and send out of the corresponding USB channels,
you then need to enable monitoring on each channel.

back out of the USB channel.
2. On each audio channel you need to select ON which is located just beneath
the input source selection.

channel begin to show level.
3. You can now click on ‘Audio effects’ on the left hand side column and begin to drag and drop
Audio effects into the track space at the bottom of the arrange page.
a. Once a plug in is dropped into position, the audio will begin to be affected by
the selected plug in. You can use the DAW fader as a ‘return level’ back into your
console if you need to make any adjustments to the gain structure.
