If you want to trigger custom fade outs in any moment to an audio clip when performing in live situations this is your step-by-step guide.
What do you need:
- Ableton Live with Maxforlive
- zb.fade.amxd (a free maxforlive device)
Step 1
Put zb.fade on the audio track you want to fade out.
Step 2
Open the Maxforlive editor.

Step 3
Find the way until the fadeout parameter to edit.
- Click on the “fadeout dial”
- Click on the “inspector” button
- Click on the “all” tab
- Scroll down until Parameter>Range/enum

Step 4
Edit the fade out tail as long as you wish. 2000 ms (2 seconds) are the maximum default of the maxforlive device.
Step 5
Now is the time for midi mapping things to meet your needs. You can midi map a toggle button to start any time you want in your performance the fade out. Just remember to deactivate the fade off before start any clip in the same track.
