Overview

Name | Version: Thresho 1.2 - RossfromFriends 1.2
Author: inara
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: Thresho is a utility that records up to 4 stereo audio inputs automatically based on a user-defined db threshold. Once the audio reaches that threshold, Thresho begins recording; once the audio drops below the threshold, and the ‘decay’ period has been completed, it stops recording.

The timestamped file is then, by default, imported into the user’s ‘User Library’ within ableton’s sidebar for easy access within other projects.

THRESHO — Apple Silicon Edition
Rebuilt by Inara Creative Studio

Threshold triggered automatic audio recorder for Ableton Live.

WHAT IT DOES
Thresho monitors up to 4 stereo audio inputs and automatically starts
recording when audio exceeds a user-defined dB threshold. Recording
stops after audio drops below threshold and a customizable decay
period completes. Files are timestamped and saved to your chosen folder.

No additional files needed, it's a single self-contained device.
