I often find myself having to add background noise and texture to my tunes to add more complexity and vibes.

Low volume noise and texture sounds also help glue your song together. I usually post Audio Effects cause I find them to be the most useful for all styles of music.

But this week I give you a free instrument that is useful for all styles of music. With the Nuke Machine, you can create a wide range of noise sounds.

All with only using Live’s built-in devices (you will need the Suite version) Flexible and CPU-friendly. Please note that this is an Instrument meaning that you will have to place it on a MIDI track and create a MIDI clip for it.

It does not matter which note you play cause this instrument only creates noise.

For best results try to add this instrument in very low volume to any track to fill it out and to better glue everything together.
