The left border of an Audio Effect Rack houses several buttons for showing or hiding its various components. Of course, this is just the beginning of what Audio Effect Racks are capable of.
If you’d like to make multiple chains of effects, you can even drop an Audio Effect Rack inside another Audio Effect Rack! You can chain as many audio effects as your CPU can handle into a single Audio Effect Rack and save them a single Effect Rack preset. Just drag an empty instance of Audio Effect Rack into your Live Set (again located in the Utilities category of Audio Effects in Live’s Browser), then drag any desired audio effect devices into the area that’s labelled ‘Drop Audio Effects Here’. Making your own Audio Effect Rack is simple. Live Suite for example includes a huge number of Audio Effects, thus includes a larger number of Audio Effect Rack presets compared to Live Intro or Standard. The number of presets you’ll find here will depend on which version of Live you own. If you haven’t explored these presets before and have only been using Live’s Audio Effect Devices individually, I strongly encourage you to have a browse. You can find all of these under ‘Audio Effect Rack’ in the Utilities category of Audio Effects in Live’s Browser. Thoughtfully, Ableton has included a comprehensive selection of custom Audio Effect Rack presets populated with their own Live Devices, ready for use in a wide range of applications such as mixing/mastering, guitar amp simulation etc.
The main difference here being Audio Effect Rack only works with audio effect devices, but this includes third-party plugins, not just Live Devices. The latter follows in the footsteps of its Instrument counterparts: Instrument Rack and Drum Rack, employing the simple concept of taking multiple devices and combining them into one device, with a unified set of controls. This list includes the powerful Simpler Instrument and fan favourite audio effects such as Beat Repeat and Auto Filter, and also the Audio Effect Rack device. Each version of Ableton Live ( Lite, Intro, Standard and Suite) includes a different collection of Live Devices, however, there are quite a few which are included with every version of Live, including Live Lite (which itself is bundled free with various MIDI controllers and audio interfaces).
