About

LinkEffekt

Read full description

LinkEffekt is an AUv3 audio effect plugin that streams stereo audio from any track directly into Ableton Live using Link Audio. IMPORTANT: LinkEffekt is an AUv3 effect plugin. It requires a host app to run (e.g. AUM, GarageBand, Loopy Pro). It also requires Ableton Live 12.4 or later on a Mac or PC on the same local network. LinkEffekt sends audio TO Ableton Live. A running Live session is required to receive audio. DROP IT ON ANY TRACK Load LinkEffekt as an insert effect in AUM, Loopy Pro, Drambo, Cubasis, Logic Pro, GarageBand, or any app that hosts AUv3 effects. Each plugin instance streams its track as a named input channel to Ableton Live. NO HOST SUPPORT REQUIRED Your favorite app doesn't need to support Link Audio natively. LinkEffekt handles the streaming. Just load it on a track. MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT CHANNELS Run multiple instances to capture multiple tracks at once. Each instance gets its own channel name that appears in Live's input routing. BUILT FOR HYBRID SETUPS Whether you're jamming on iPad and recording in Live, performing live with iOS synths feeding into your Ableton set, or just want a wireless audio bridge: LinkEffekt connects your worlds. FEATURES • Stereo audio streaming via Ableton Link Audio • Per-channel gain control and stereo pan • Click-free mute with smooth ramping • Timing offset compensation (-100 to +100 ms) • Level meter with dB scaling • Link settings and channel naming built into the plugin UI • Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Catalyst) PRICING The first channel is fully functional with no limitations, including Link Audio streaming. Unlock unlimited channels with a single in-app purchase. SETUP TIP In Ableton Live, go to Settings > Link/Tempo/MIDI and enable "Sync to Incoming Audio" under Link Audio. This keeps your Live session perfectly in sync with the incoming audio from LinkEffekt. REQUIREMENTS • Ableton Live 12.4 or later on the same local network • Any AUv3-compatible host app • iOS 17+ / macOS 14+
