Pricing and Availability
Remixlive for Mac is available now, with an introductory price of $29.99 (instead of 69.99$).
Seems to be a few of these type of applications popping up. Hook from Retronyms as well.
I installed the Mac desktop version but I do not see the VST/AU in Ableton Live under the Plugins Section.
Alex,
There is an option in the “Remixlive” item of the menu bar to “Install the VST/AU version”, click on it and it should unpack the versions in the default VST and AU system folders. Then, open Ableton Live and you should see the Remixlive plugin appear.
I feel like I should point out that the feature will receive a fix very soon to iron out some issues, so you might have to hang tight for a little while (our devs are hard at work on it at the moment, sorry about any inconvenience that may ensue!)
Best,
Alex @Mixvibes
