LinkEffekt

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.
