Stem separation powered by python-audio-separator and using the same models as Ultimate Vocals Remover. UVR speed and quality is much better than the stock Ableton stem separation in my experience, and now you can get that without ever having to leave the DAW :)
Features
- 2-stem separation — Vocals + Instrumental (BS-Roformer, MelBand Roformer, MDX-NET)
- 4-stem separation — Vocals, Drums, Bass, Other (HTDemucs FT)
- 6-stem separation — Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Other (HTDemucs 6s)
- GPU accelerated — CUDA support for fast inference
- Auto-install — creates a local Python venv and installs everything on first use
- Progress feedback — live progress dialog with model download and separation status
Requirements
- Nothing is required! The extension will install everything for you :)
- NVIDIA GPU + CUDA (OPTIONAL requirement for fast processing — falls back to CPU)
Let me know if you end up running into any issues :)

No Melodyne. No ARA. No bouncing out to another app. Just a native Ableton Live extension that tunes any audio clip , right where you're working. Right-click a clip → Pitch:It - Edit → A note editor opens inside Live. Drag notes to pitch, shape the vibrato, hear it live, and apply a clean tuned copy to a new track. Your original is never touched.
What it does :
- Pitch correction — drag notes to retune; snaps to the nearest semitone (hold Ctrl/Shift for fine), double-click to snap to your scale, or Snap All at once.
- Vibrato / modulation control — flatten, keep, or exaggerate the vibrato of any note. 6 detection algorithms — Universal, Vocal, Solo, Chords, Fast. Switch instantly to fit the source.
- Live preview — hold a note to audition it, and hear the pitch move as you drag. Decide before you commit.
- non-destructive — notes you don't touch stay bit-for-bit identical, and the output lands at your clip's original volume.
Pitch:It re-pitches the actual waveform , so formants and timbre stay intact . Works on any pitched source, not just vocals: leads, synths, bass, monophonic or polyphonic.

An AI assistant built into Ableton Live. Describe what you want in plain English — Live Agent executes it directly on your session. https://github.com/nonogv/live-agent
An Ableton Live extension that applies BBCut breakbeat cutting algorithms to AudioClips in the Live's Arrangement View. https://github.com/bencodec/BBenCut
Builds a structured arrangement on a MIDI track by letting you define named sections with bar lengths and colors. Due to current limitations of the SDK, it is important that the clips in the Arrangement view are cut according to the length of each section. Additionally audio clips are not simply moved but are recreated from scratch, which is why they may become out of sync with the project.
Features
- Create mode — Define sections (Intro, Verse, Chorus, etc.) with custom bar lengths and colors. Each section becomes a named, colored MIDI clip on the track.
- Edit mode — If the track already has sections from a previous run, the dialog pre-populates with them. Reorder, rename, resize, add, or remove sections — clips on all other tracks remap automatically.
- Locators — Optionally place a Live cue point at the start of each section.
How to use
1. In Arrangement view, select a MIDI track (and optionally a time range).
2. Right-click and choose Create Arrangement Track….
3. Build your section list using the preset buttons or by editing the rows directly.
4. Check Create locators at section start points to add cue points at each section boundary.
5. Click Create.
This is not a full build of what is possible with Beat Detective in Pro Tools, but I built an Extension that can detect transients in an audio clip and use these transients to slice a clip in three ways: Slice by exact transients
Find transients, but slice to nearest grid position
Slice transients, then snap them to nearest grid position
Download v0.0.1 here: https://github.com/tomcameron-svg/ableton-extensions I have also created a public repo. Anyone who wants to build on this Extension can feel free to do so: https://github.com/tomcameron-svg/beat-slicer Have fun!
Search the BBC's archive of 33,000+ field recordings and drop sounds directly into Ableton Live — as audio clips or into a Simpler instrument.

Right-click any audio clip in Live to detect key or BPM and tag the clip name automatically. KeyPulse is written in Rust + TypeScript and analyses rendered clip audio locally.
How to use
- Right-click any audio clip.
- Choose Detect Key or Detect BPM.
- Wait for the analysis to finish.
- The clip name is updated with [Key: ...] and/or [BPM: ...].
Download: https://github.com/dancarasco/ableton-extensions Small reason I built this: Live does not have native key detection for audio clips, and I wanted something that works directly in the session instead of round-tripping through another app.
Slice chops any audio in your Arrangement into clean, named WAV slices ready to drop into a sampler or sell as a pack, all without leaving Live.
Making a sample pack means the same grind every time: chop the audio, trim and fade each hit, normalise, name everything in order, export, then do it again. It is slow enough that finished material just sits there unreleased. Slice does that whole routine in one pass, inside Live.
Free extension. Select some audio on a track, right click, and choose how to cut it.
Cut it your way: • Gate (by silence), Transients, Grid, Warp markers, or Existing clips • Or open the Manual marker editor: a waveform with stereo view, audition and loop, zoom, live auto detect, ignore a slice, and snap to zero crossings so there are no clicks
Make it pack ready: • Trim, fades, drop silent slices, normalise per slice or across the whole pack • Mono or stereo, your choice of sample rate and bit depth (24 bit / 44.1 kHz by default) • Name with prefix, suffix, BPM, key (typed or read from your project key), and numbering, plus a {track} token for batching several tracks at once • Built in presets for common jobs, and it writes everything to a folder with an optional pack info file

Loop Miner turns search terms into sketch loops. Type a phrase, let it dig for source audio on Youtube, then audition clean 1–4 second loops tagged with key and BPM. Import audio, extract MIDI - remix/rework/mangle/destruct.
Download: https://dystopiandisco.gumroad.com/l/loop-miner-ableton-extension
Fixes MIDI notes that start just before a clip's start/loop point and therefore miss their note-on, so the first chord or drum hit actually sounds.
If you play piano or program drums, you know the problem: a clip starts on the downbeat but the note (or chord) was played a hair early, so its note-on falls outside the clip and the first beat goes silent. Right-click a MIDI clip → Repair 1st beat, and any note crossing the start marker (or loop start) gets a guaranteed attack at that point.
Modes
Smart (default) — notes played just-early are nudged in for a clean attack; genuinely sustained notes are split so their body is preserved. Truncate — move the note head to the start point. Split — keep the outside part as a separate note. Cut at the start marker, the loop start, or both (re-attacks on every loop pass). Adjustable smart threshold (1/8–1/64). One undo step, idempotent (safe to re-run).
Download: https://rbld.com.br/audio/downloads/midi-clip-1st-beat-repair-1.0.0.ablx
Compatibility: Live 12 Beta (Extensions), SDK beta 1.0.0.
Known limitations: Operates on one MIDI clip at a time. Notes only — sustain pedal / CC64 and clip automation aren't accessible in the current SDK, so pedal-based sustain isn't handled yet (planned for a future release).

Theory Aide is an Ableton Live extension for understanding what your MIDI is doing musically. It analyzes harmony, rhythm, voicing, density, motion, form, and tension, and then turns that analysis into clear explanations and practical next steps.
The goal is not to judge whether an idea is correct or good. The goal is to help producers understand why an ideas work for them, why you may feels stuck, and things that you can try before throwing the idea away.
Theory Aide is built for the moment after you generate or write something interesting and ask, “What now?” It can explain the harmonic timeline, identify chord function, show tension and density over time, inspect rhythm and phrasing, flag muddy voicings, compare song sections, and suggest ways to develop the material into a verse, chorus, bridge, build, breakdown, or resolution.
The extension treats theory as a creative lens, not a rulebook. It connects traditional concepts like Roman numerals modal theory with producer focused concepts like groove, register, frequency space, texture, automation, and arrangement energy.
I am trying to make music theory useful inside the writing process.
It is not meant to replace taste. It is meant to support you and make you more confident in your ability to express creativity.
Builds chord progressions from any key and writes the result as a MIDI clip, with two distinct harmony modes for different musical styles. Features
Progression II — Functional jazz grid ordered for common progressions (I–vi–IV–ii–V–iii–vii), showing secondary dominants, diatonic chords, and borrowed chords per column
Dark Harmony — Chromatic grid built around the natural minor scale with augmented, diminished, and Neapolitan colors
Queue and write — Click chords to build a progression queue, then write the result as a MIDI clip
Smart placement — Clip is placed in the first empty slot on the right-clicked track
How to use
Right-click any MIDI Track and choose Create Chord Progression….
Select a key and harmony mode.
Click chords in the grid to add them to the progression queue.
Click Write to MIDI Clip to create a new MIDI clip.
Each chord is written as four simultaneous notes (close voicing, whole-note duration, velocity 80) with one bar per chord. The clip is named with the chord symbols joined by " – " (e.g. Cm7 – F7 – Bbmaj7). Download: https://github.com/federico-pepe/ableton-live-extensions
A context-menu extension that lets you highlight a time selection on an arrangement audio track and batch-render only the clips inside that range. It automatically imports them into your Live project as individual audio files, all in one click. It's a fast follow-up after using the Strip Silence extension or manually chopping up breakbeats, letting you isolate specific hits and pull them into your project's sample folder without bouncing each one by hand. Current SDK Limitations: Due to Ableton's strict extension sandbox, custom file renaming (like sequential numbering) and exporting outside the project folder are not currently possible. Slices will import using Ableton's default render naming.
Where to find your exported files: Once the loading bar finishes, look at Ableton's left sidebar browser. Navigate to Places > Current Project > Samples > Imported. Your fresh slices will be sitting right there, ready to drag and drop!
Heads up: save your Set before running it. The slices are imported into your project's Samples/Imported folder, which only exists once the Set has been saved.

Compatibility: Ableton Live 12 Beta / SDK 1.0.0-beta.0
Adds ability to remove unused tracks, devices and clips from the Live Set. Optimizer is a powerful extension for Ableton Live 12 that intelligently renames, groups, color-codes and strips silence across your Live Set.
Future development will add dozens more features on top of this. The end goal is to have Optimizer become a centralized powerhouse of project management and QoL tools that Ableton hasn't implemented natively. https://ellismoss.gumroad.com/l/optimizer
Offline vocal leveler that prints your comped vocal to a new audio track, dynamically rides it to a consistent level, and optionally strips silence between phrases. Download: https://rbld.com.br/audio/downloads/Vocal-Print-&-Ride-1.0.0.ablx More Audio Stuff: rbld.com.br/audio
How it works
Right-click any audio track → Vocal Print & Ride. It renders the pre-FX audio, finds the median loudness of the voiced parts, rides each 80 ms window toward it (+6 / −9 dB), leaves −6 dBFS of headroom for your chain, and prints the result to a duplicate track (devices kept, original muted). Optional strip-silence cuts the gaps with click-free micro-fades.
Known limitations
Offline/destructive print: the new track is flattened audio — comp edits/take lanes aren't preserved (original stays, muted). A compressor in the chain reacts to the leveled signal — it warns you to bypass it. Mono/stereo handled; same gain on both channels (stereo preserved).
Compatibility
Built on the Ableton Extensions SDK 1.0.0-beta.0 (minimumApiVersion 1.0.0). Requires an Extensions-capable Live 12 Beta.
A simple clip naming extension with two options:
1. Assign the track name to clips
2. Assign the track name to clips and append an incremental number (e.g. Bass 1, Bass 2, Bass 3 etc)
Download it here: https://github.com/chymeramusic/assign-track-name
Instantly create noise, note or verb risers/impacts by selecting an empty space on an audio track and opening the extension.
Download: https://petespaced.gumroad.com/l/transitiontool
Modes:
1. Noise; pick your noise type, fade and filter and click create. Simplest of the three
2. Note; a rising note type riser. Pick osc type (saw, sin, square) and the notes to glide between (eg. C5 - C6). Filters and fades also work here
3. Verb; one click reverse reverb maker. Right click your source audio click, select 'set verb source'. Then open the extension on an empty gap again and select verb. You can select decay 1x (sets decay to clip length) or higher, (up to 8x), and can pick between hall, room and plate. Filters and fades work here too
When you right-click a MIDI clip, a score editor opens directly inside Live. Any edits made in the score can be written back to the clip immediately, making it possible to move seamlessly between MIDI programming and notation entirely within Live.
I built this because I wanted a music theory cheat sheet that actually lived inside Ableton. Right-click a clip, see the key, the Roman numerals, what scales to solo over, and which upper structure triads open up the sound — without leaving the session. The Modal Explorer came from wanting to poke at progressions I'd never naturally gravitate toward and understand why they work. Pure personal use, shared in case it's useful to anyone else.

Separate any audio clip into stems with any of MVSEP's 126+ models for free, right inside Ableton Live.
If you haven't heard of MVSEP, here's my rave review: MVSEP is a service made by one person and has become my go-to AI stem separation suite these days, and I've spent good money in the past on tools like iZotope RX Advanced and of course Ableton Suite. They have the latest open models like Demucs, their ensemble models are cutting-edge, they publish benchmarks, and their individual instrument models have enabled me to do things like pull my live saxophone performance out of a full arrangement that was recorded on a shitty cell phone mic at a gig, with enough quality for me to remaster the live video to nearly studio quality. Their service is no BS and they have a generous free quota of 50 generations per day. Plus, they have an API, which this extension uses.
(I'm not affiliated with or sponsored by MVSEP, although I did just email them asking if they want to work something out, haha)
I’ve been working on an Ableton Live Extension for importing classic tracker .mod files into Live as editable MIDI/Simpler tracks.
It supports local .mod files and single ModArchive URL imports from https://modarchive.org/, extracts the samples, keeps as much of the tracker structure as possible, and shows a short import report with sample and effect information. It is not a full tracker file converter, but it is useful for bringing old MOD ideas into Ableton for editing and remixing.
Limitations: some tracker effects, especially pitch slides, vibrato, fine pitch changes, and full playback automation, cannot be recreated exactly yet because the current Extensions SDK does not expose everything needed for that. More SDK access to MIDI pitch bend and automation would make this much more powerful.
In the YoutTube demo I import “Beams of Light” by Walkman (Tor Bernhard Gausen), one of my favourite MODs from 1989. Around ten years later, in the late 1990s, it was covered by Hardy Hard as “Silversurfer”.

Your entire sample pack workflow. One extension. No more bouncing from app to app, Mac to PC, or Mac to older Mac just to format your packs properly.
https://arraysounds.com/pages/batch-array
This solves a real-world problem I've dealt with forever. As an Ableton user for years, making packs for ACID and Logic meant a ridiculous workflow — I'd create and cut sounds in Ableton, then move everything to a PC running an old version of Sound Forge that still has the batch converter just to add basic metadata. Then I'd bring everything into ACID to ACIDize. Then put it all on a thumb drive, walk it over to an old Mac running Snow Leopard — the last OS that included Apple Loops Utility — and Apple Loop everything there. Then put the new files back on a thumb drive and check in Logic that all the metadata actually stuck. Not anymore.
Batch Array lets you ACIDize WAVs and tag Apple Loops without ever leaving Ableton. You can tag a single track or batch process entire folders. I've tested and verified — ACID metadata sticks, Apple Loops metadata sticks, everything reads correctly in their target DAWs.
And because this is Batch Array — meaning it handles a bunch of things — we also added a chopper that slices audio on downbeats or grid divisions and lets you extract straight to Drum Rack. On top of that it includes a normalizer, denoiser, click and pop remover, and auto fade-ins/outs.
If you're a sample pack creator who actually formats packs properly for distribution, I think this is a workflow game-changer. Would love to hear thoughts and suggestions.
Select a time range on a MIDI drum track, right-click → Drum Fill Generator…, and it writes a fresh, humanized drum fill into the clip — capped with a kick + crash on the next downbeat. Never generates the same fill twice.
Hey everyone! I kept hitting the same wall while producing — drum loops that needed a little something to break the repetition, and drawing fills by hand every few bars got old fast. So I built this. You pick a spot, choose the intensity (simple → complex) and which rhythmic figures to use (1/4 down to 1/64), and it generates a fill that accelerates toward the downbeat, with optional humanization on timing and velocity. There's a MIDI Learn mode too — hit the button and tap your pads to map your kit live (Push, Launchpad, SL MkII, whatever you've got). It ships with presets for Addictive Drums 2, General MIDI, and a 64-pad AD2 drum rack I used on the tests, plus you can save your own using midi learn. Every generation is randomized, so you can keep clicking until one feels right.

Compatibility:
Ableton Live 12.4.5+ (Extensions feature, beta) · built on the Extensions SDK beta 1.0.0 · single .ablx runs on Windows & macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon).
Known limitations:
Live Extensions are still beta. MIDI Learn relies on a small native module — prebuilt binaries for Win/macOS are bundled, and if you're on an uncovered platform the extension still runs fine, just with MIDI Learn disabled. Mainly battle-tested on Windows so far — macOS feedback very welcome!
Would love to hear what you make with it, and any feature ideas are super welcome. Cheers!

Ever wanted to explode a Drum Rack into separate drum tracks in one click? This does exactly that — and it's smart about it:
- Only extracts pads you actually played in your clips (no empty-track clutter)
- Keeps the new tracks inside the same group as the original
- Each track keeps the pad's full signal chain (sounds identical)
- Tracks are named after the loaded sample Original track gets muted (or deleted — your choice)
- Link pads to one shared track for samples that are in the same choke group
How: right-click a Drum Rack (or its MIDI track / a MIDI clip) → Extensions → Extract to Separate Tracks → pick mute/delete → Extract.
v0.2.0 — Keep choke groups working You can now link pads in the dialog so they extract onto one shared track — which keeps their Drum Rack choke group functioning (e.g. open + closed hi-hat). Select two or more pads, click Link selected, and they stay together; everything else still extracts one track per drum.
Built on the v0.1.1 safety base (never deletes clips). Active-pad detection, group preservation, sample-based naming, and per-drum colors all unchanged.
Install: Settings → Extensions → drag in the .ablx (or Choose file) → restart Live.
Requires: Live 12 Suite Beta, 12.4.5+
Install: Settings → Extensions → drag in the .ablx (or Choose file) → restart Live After extracting, go further with native Live: ⌘B Bounce to New Track to commit to audio, ⌘⇧G Ungroup to flatten the rack. [Since the SDK can't run Ungroup, freeze and flatten, or Bounce-to-New-Track itself as of now] Save your Set first (it adds tracks + mutes/deletes the source). Beta — feedback welcome!
Right-click any audio clip in Live to extract Center, Sides, Left, Right, or Mixed audio with a live spectrogram preview. SplitScope is written in Rust + TypeScript and processes rendered clip audio locally.
How to use
1. Right-click any audio clip.
2. Choose Open SplitScope....
3. Adjust Mode, Strength, Threshold, Width, and Brightness.
4. Hit Preview to loop the processed audio.
5. Click inside the Spectrogram view to seek the preview.
6. Click Apply to import the extracted result back into the Live project.
I wanted a fast way to isolate center or side content directly inside Live.
Utility can be great for this - it does fixed M/S matrixing: Mid is essentially L+R, Side is essentially L-R, but SplitScope is an extraction tool: it analyses the audio by frequency, then lets you dial in how much center or side content to keep/remove, with preview + spectrogram before printing it back into Live.
The Wavetable Sprite Lab Ableton Extension allows you to create custom audio files to use in Ableton's Wavetable and Simpler instruments. The Exported Wavetable Sprite file can be dragged directly into Wavetable's OSC window, or Export as a Simpler sample to have the file loaded into Simpler.
