Tools I built for myself that were too good not to share.
Uses outboard hardware as an insert on a DAW track, time-aligned.
Measures the round-trip delay through your hardware and aligns the return automatically.
Manual alignment adjustment down to the single sample.
Input and output gain to your hardware, in dB.
Polarity invert and Stereo, Mid/Side or Mono modes on the return.

LTC WAV Generator — Standalone
Edit any clip in Melodyne, Revoice Pro, VocAlign, RX or any editor — without leaving Ableton. It comes back on the same track, in the same place.
This has only been tested on Melodyne 5, Revoice Pro 5.1.32 and 4.4.4.1, and VocAlign 6.1.32 Standard. I am working on testing more systems, but if you don’t specifically own one of those, please don’t buy yet — wait for it to be supported.
This is still really new software and I’ll be updating it as I can. Please be understanding: I’m not a big software company, I’m just one guy making some tools in between mixing records. If you’re unsure, please don’t buy — I can’t issue refunds.

Note-by-note tuning right inside Ableton — live and non-destructive.
One alignment slot, two engines — pick whichever you own in the gear pane and it stays picked. Revoice Pro 4 and 5 both work: AbleSuite Pro reads the version you have installed and drives it accordingly, so there is nothing to set. The guide, dub and process controls live in a floating window that stays on top of Live.
Ableton has no ARA, so AbleSuite Pro hosts VocAlign itself — no separate application to open, nothing to locate. Works with VocAlign 6 (Standard or Ultra) and the older Ultra and Pro. VocAlign Project ships no ARA build, so it can’t be hosted.
Capturing a dub runs the alignment in Revoice Pro right then, so it’s sitting there waiting. Add warp markers, retime by hand, then press process — what you hear is what lands in Live.
Hand any clip to iZotope RX, WaveLab, or any editor that saves a WAV — and back.
Your original stays safe on a take lane; the edit lands in the same spot.
Map every button to a key and work without touching the mouse.
If a slot reports an editor as not installed, the gear pane writes a Diagnostics report showing every place AbleSuite Pro looked — so you can see what is actually missing instead of guessing.
macOS, and Ableton Live 11 or 12 with Max for Live — placing edits back needs Live 12.0.5 or newer. Works on clips in the Arrangement view.
AbleSuite Pro currently describes your session to the editor as a single tempo and time signature. On a set that changes tempo, the editor’s grid won’t line up — it shows most in Melodyne, which draws one. Your audio is safe: capture, edit and placement stay sample-accurate. Sets at one fixed tempo are unaffected, and full tempo-map support is being researched.
No third-party licences are included — you must already own Melodyne, Revoice Pro, VocAlign, iZotope RX, etc. for this to work. Activate them first: an editor that hasn’t been activated can stop on its own licensing window, which looks like AbleSuite Pro hanging.

Writes chords into Live — triads, 7ths, sus and borrowed — named and colour-coded to the key.
Pick a root and Major/Minor; the seven buttons relabel and recolour to that key's chords and degrees.
Open the window for the whole set — triads, sus2, sus4, 7ths and borrowed chords, all in your key.
Drop chords at the Arrangement playhead, or write them into a selected Session clip slot.
In Arrangement, each chord advances the insert point by one clip length — click I–V–vi–IV and it lands in a row.
1/4, 1/2, whole, 2 or 4 bars — note values are fixed, so they stay signature-independent.
Five palettes: Pink Purple, Autumn, Sunset, Ochre Blue and Terracotta Teal.
