Right click and save to download here. Ableton FX rack gives you some dirty dub sounds:

Hi-Pass: Takes some of the high frequencies out

Delay Time: Changes time of the delay. Note that this will act differently depending on the Fade/Repitch setting.

Feedback: how long the delay will continue to echo Delay

Wet/Dry: The mix between the original and delayed signal.

Fade/Repitch: This will switch between repitch: old school dub delay sound, i.e. when you change the delay time the pitch also changes, or fade, where the pitch remains the same. 

Mono/Stereo: How wide or narrow the stereo field is

Pioneer Knob: A single knob filter similar to Pioneer mixers, turn to the right for low pass, to the left for high pass.

Gain: Volume

Enjoy. Add your DJ FX requests in the comments field, I’ll be making a bunch more soon. Jethroe

Edit: as my man Dennis Fischer points out, it is a lo-pass, not a high pass – doh!

Did a movie with Jazzy Jeff talking about how he’s using Ableton Live:

…had some great guests at his place while filming, including James Poyser, Kenny Dope and Ca$h Money, been really cool to learn from them all…

Here’s a Simple Delay preset (Live 8 + Above) Jeff made which adds a nice ambience to sampled music:

Here’s a little master bus effect rack for Live 8 that I put together. This is the one used in the APC40 video. Thanks to Ableton user joesapo, I used some of his effect racks as components in this one.

Fade to Red uses Live 8′s new modes for the delays, for some nice dubby delay, similar to an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man.

Note: edited on 9.3.10 to fix the delay mode to fade on one one of the inner delays. This is so it doesn’t crackle when slaved to a variable tempo…like say, The Bridge ;)
