This extension adds an "Ask Claude…" action to Session clip slots. Right-click a cell, type a natural-language instruction, and Claude generates or edits MIDI in Live through the extension's own built-in MCP server. The producer stays in control — nothing happens unless you right-click and ask.
The extension is both the MCP server (Claude's hands in Live) and the caller that spawns Claude headless with your instruction. Self-contained; no external bridge.
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 :)

Licensing & attribution
Sounds on Freesound are released under Creative Commons licenses. Some (e.g. CC-BY) require you to credit the creator when you use them. This extension helps you comply:
- Filter and view each sound's license before importing.
- Imported clips and files are tagged with the Freesound sound ID and license.
- Open Attributions in the dialog and click Copy attribution text to copy credit lines(sound name, author, link, and license) for the sounds you've imported.
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.
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

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
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
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.
