Shorter, tighter drums
Shortens the decay of every drum hit, like the Beats warp mode envelope, but on any audio. Tighten loose loops and make room for the kick and bass.
Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.
Groove finds every drum hit and shortens what comes after it, so long loops get tight and punchy. Hits mode follows the real transients, 1/16 and 1/8 work on the grid. Decay sets how long each hit lasts, Amount blends the effect in.
