ok, ill get on it tonight when i have time to write out a decent cohesive post. should i run these for a week or a month?
does anyone have any suggestions they wanna put forward? i was thinking of starting with the simpler tools in live, maybe Drum Rack. it will be easier to get the threads rolling, and im sure theres several little techniques and tips that even the more seasoned live users have missed out on along the way!

I would argue that drumrack is actually one of the most complex tools in Live in that it utilizes Simpler or Sampler, offers complex routing, and different slicing modes.
My cents or 2p:
- 1 week (if people want to bump/comment later, even better)
- Start super simple with really basic ones, stuff like AutoFilter, or a midi utility, etc
Might be cool to have this be a way to develop a deep knowledge base for some of the less "sexier" LivePlugs that are actually super powerful and useful

yeah definitely, wrong choice of words on my part, i meant more commonly used, the real workhorse tools within live. drumrack is deep!
of course they can be left open ended and continue on as long as they can still be contributed to, ill set up a new one once a week then.
like i said, im not too hot with everything in live myself yet, so this is gonna require everyones contribution to work well!
ill start off with autofilter then, but feel free to send me suggestions for future weeks, whether its because you have a tonne of tips for a certain device or theres one you feel you need to learn more about.
