Re: Modern basslines often have a "hollow" tone, how does one achieve that?

Fm synth or any synth or plugin with any fm capability should get you in the right ballpark either through the presets or tweaking.

Re: Tracking from mixer to daw

If you want it all to playback in time e.g your audio coming in with something playing in ableton you would need to allow for latency? I always used the track delays on midi tracks in the software to achieve this in ableton or a sample delay plugin I other software. Found it the easiest way to get s...

Re: MPC One

The product no one asked for, an MPC Lite. I do not understand why this exists. The screens on these things (MPC Live) are great, you don`t have to stare at them, the Q controls (on the Live) and the navigation buttons and pads can be all you need if you don`t want to look at the screen. The MPC li...

Re: Who here still goes to clubs?

Re: Naughty, naughty, very naughty _ Ghost Producers

I think this happens a lot across the genre not just the bumload. So much stuff could literally be the same person. Shame really! Either that or people are that obsessed with being associated with such a limited sound palette they ape the sound of certain labels down to a depressing level of detail ...

Re: What is David Meiser doing here?

Apart from when I was doing my Ableton certification I can't say I've ever used the chord plugin. I'm not sure I can even remember how it works. Chuck it at the start of the chain and set note intervals is about it I think not used it recently at all but would work for a simple chord memory kind of...

Re: Elektron DigiTone?

I bought one in August. Personally I love it great purchase for me. Simple pros and cons. Pros: Sequencer is brilliant along with per step sound and fx settings you can do some great creative sequencing. 4 internal tracks but believe me you can write a track with those alone if you are creative with...

Re: Production & Personal _ How Have You Done This Year?

This year has been a good one for music and machines and general well being surrounding that. I've developed a bit more of a fuck it and go with the flow attitude and although I've not released any stuff I have actually finished an awful lot more than I can remember. Played a few times as well and a...

Re: Behringer 909 Clone _ Update / Price & Pics

If the kick sounds decent, they'll be away with it. Are you looking forward to all the new 909 music that'll be coming your way Steve? Hope you are!! :) It's a circuit clone so it should sound the same and no, a new influx of 909 and mono arpeggio Trax is not something I am overjoyed about, but it ...

Re: MPC Live Major Update.

It should work and doesn't the reason I tried is it would be handy for me. You can go into prefs and select them but they revert as I said. I'm convinced that is actually a bug been told as much. Would be very useful.
