Bassify (for Ableton Live 11 & 12 Suite)

Introducing Bassify

Bassify is an Ableton Audio Effect Rack series that allows you to change your voice, your drums, or any sample into a crunchy juicy bass sound.

Example 2 (via Instagram)
Example 3 (via Instagram)

What's the big difference between the two versions?
Not only are both racks comprised of different effects under the hood, but both racks actually sound quite different.

Bassify (Serum FX Version)

• wubbier, wetter (slightly), vowel focused sound
• 14+ FX knobs to help shape your bass to taste
• 20 built in custom dialed-in presets
• Serum FX (VST version) required

Bassify (Ableton Stock FX Version) [Ableton Live 12 Suite Only]

• heavier, meaner, grittier sound
• 8+ FX knobs to help shape your unique bass sound
• 20 built in custom dialed-in presets

IMPORTANT:

• Both versions of the rack use Envelope Follower (Max 4 Live) to work. Please make sure you have that installed before purchasing.
  • "Note: the Envelope Follower effect is not available in the Lite, Intro or Standard Editions unless you have Live Standard with a Max for Live license." - Ableton website
• The Serum FX version requires the latest version of Ableton Live 11 Suite OR Ableton Live 12 Suite to run. The racks won't work on older versions.
• The Stock FX version requires the latest version of Ableton Live 12 Suite to run. The racks won't work on older versions.

Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]

What genres can I use these racks for?
Both racks work great for any bass music genre: Dubstep, Riddim, Drum & Bass, House, Mid-Tempo, Trap, etc.

Are the basses mix-ready?
Yes! The chains have been cleaned, processed, and mixed to sound great right away.

I don't have Ableton 12 or 11, how can I use Bassify in a different DAW?
Currently, the Stock Bassify Audio Effect Rack is only available for Ableton Live 12 Suite, with the exception of the Serum FX version, which can now be used in Ableton Live 11 Suite. I am working on turning 'Bassify' into a standalone VST plug-in. Stay tuned on my socials for more updates and information.

Troubleshooting (Common Issues)

[SerumFX & Stock] I get an error message on the bottom Status Bar of Ableton (typically in Orange) that says "Only audio effects can be placed in this kind of track".
This likely means you are opening this in an older version of Ableton Live Suite (11, 10, or an earlier version of Live 12 Suite). These racks are built specifically for the latest version of Ableton Live 12 Suite, except for the Serum FX version, which is now compatible with Ableton Live 11.3.25 Suite as of 11/3/2024.

[SerumFX only] Some of the knobs are greyed out and the output sounds distorted and unpleasant.
This likely means that SerumFX is disabled or missing. Make sure you have SerumFX VST (VST2 not VST3) enabled. Often times this can be solved by going into Live > Settings > Plug-Ins > Use VST2 Plug-In System Folders [TURN THIS ON].

REMINDER:
UPDATE ABLETON TO LATEST VERSION BEFORE USING OR ELSE RACKS WONT WORK
