Submit Your Max for Live Device to max4.live
Starting today, Max for Live authors can list their devices on max4.live directly, using the new submission form. It's free, every listing is credited to its author, and every one is checked by a person before it goes live.
Why we built it
max4.live has grown into the place a lot of producers start when they're looking for a device. In the last 28 days Google sent close to 1,900 visitors here from search, about 100 a day in the most recent week, and around 2,000 people used the site in the past seven days. Many of them arrive through the MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT as well.
At the same time, our copy of the maxforlive.com library stopped updating on August 7, 2026, when that site began blocking automated access (here's what happened). We don't work around that block. So a growing audience was looking at a catalogue that could no longer grow. Letting authors bring their devices to us directly fixes that, and it means the description you read here is the author's own.
How it works
- Fill in the form. Device name, type, a description in your own words, version and Live/Max requirements, the license, and where people can get it: a download link, a shop page, or both. We don't host device files; your link goes straight to where you publish.
- Confirm your email. We send a confirmation link. Your address is only used for this submission and is never published.
- A person reviews it. Software helps: it checks that your links work and looks for the same device in the existing catalogue. A person makes every decision, usually within a few days. Nothing is published automatically.
- It goes live. Your device gets its own page, shows up in search, in its category and on your author page, and carries a "Submitted by the author" badge. It's also available to Claude and ChatGPT through the MCP connector.
- You stay in control. After confirming, you get a private link to check the status or remove the listing at any time.
Already on maxforlive.com? No duplicates
If your device is also in the maxforlive.com catalogue, paste its maxforlive.com link into the form. Instead of creating a second page, we show your description and links at the top of the existing max4.live page for that device, and credit both sources. That page keeps its place in search results, and your listing still lives in its own record, so either side can change without overwriting the other. If you don't paste a link, we still look for a match by author and title, and the reviewer confirms it before anything is linked.
What we're looking for
- Devices you made, or have the right to list.
- A description that tells a producer what the device does and when to reach for it. Two or three short paragraphs are plenty.
- A working download or purchase link. Commercial devices need a link to where they're sold.
The details are in the submission terms and the privacy policy. You keep all rights to your device and your text.
