Ableton Live - noob ponderings

I don't really like the reverb so much. I can make nice stuff with it but it often sounds like 'the Ableton reverb'. It's a decay reverb, not really a natural sounding one, I miss that. Also, when mixing I'd really like a multiband compressor. You can simulate that with splitting up the signal and using EQ three to turn off bass/mid/high but a simple multiband would be great, especially for final mixing/mastering purposes. Amp simulation is something you need plugins for also. But the simple effects are awesome, utility is nice. Gate too and I always have Spectrum on the master channel. The distortions are nice too. It's just that sometimes you can ovbiously hear when someone has been using Live (cheesy beat repeats and resonators). I love Live, I'd just like to see even more amazing stuff in there so that eventually I can drop the plugins. Because I know they can do that. The Ableton instruments blow most external VST synths away if you ask me, would like to see that with the audio effects as well.

Yus, I'm not really liking the reverb.

Hey Watmm, what plug-ins rock, what plug-ins suck?
