Hi, So, in the middle of my daily morning routine of watching videos of gear I have no room or money for, I came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vhQnQAqW54 In the comments, some guy thought it sounded like "Ohio tech-house" and mentioned Dan Curtin as a reference-point. Rarely do these...

Unrelated to the clip, but since we’re also talking about emulating old samplers here, have you checked out Legowelt’s latest gift? The «SMACKOS Lemuria Vintage Sampler Simulator», made with stock Ableton devices.

Thanks for the advice friends! Took it to a third-party repair guy, turned out it was water-damage to the mainboard caused by humidity. He changed the affected components and everything is working now. Set me back equivalent of 250 pounds, which is nothing compared to what I’ve read about repair-cos...

Hi friends, So, I have a Macbook Air from late 2015 which I use for work and of course I have Ableton installed. A couple of days ago I was charging the battery, all of a sudden the fan suddenly went into overdrive it seems, louder fan-noise than usual, and so I powered the computer off while I rech...

if you've got ableton suite there's an included convolution reverb max device which is pretty neat, where you can load your own impulse responses.

stopped by a DJ-equipment store today with the Ecler and it turns out it was the "main out 2" (RCA) that was busted, the XLR works fine, so with new cables everything should be sorted. thanks again!

hi friends, i just received an e-mail from some list i apparently subscribe to informing that audified mixchecker now is available for $99. never heard of it before but it seems to have some rudimentary controls that are supposed to provide an emulation of different listening situations (e.g., studi...

Many thanks terryfalafel! Yes - the three scenarios you describe are all present in my situation, pointing to a mixer-problem. I'm going to have a chat with the sellers today to find out what's what (read somewhere that you can bust phono-channels by connecting stuff other than turntables to them, s...

Hi everybody, I just got my 1210s back from repair. I waited a looong time for them to be ready and in the meantime I bought an Ecler Nuo 2 second-hand. Here's the problem: I bought RCA-cables for the Ecler once I got my decks back. Connected into the back of my KrK Rokits (yes, I know...) from the ...

thanks for the feedback guys. i'll stay clear of this one then.

@ekwipt: thanks, did not know about this function.
@msl: "mods" - is this the one where you have knobs for cutoff and resonance added to the front panel? and did you sell it yet?

hi everyone, i'm looking into buying some vintage gear and there's a listing for a mint korg ex-800 (poly-800 in module format) in my home-country for appr. 530 euros. i couldn't find any listings on ebay to compare prices at the moment, so i was wondering, to those of you who might know this unit: ...

i also only installed the .au version, and it works perfectly in ableton. maybe de-selecting the other options will solve any issues mac-people are having with the plugin?

Ableton currently have 20% off Push, Live and packs. Until Jan 11th. Am I being dumb? I can only see that push is avaliable with Ableton and not on its own. is push 2 discounted without the sw? i just logged into my account at ableton to see my upgrade offers, the price for push 2 standalone is the...

i use renoise redux, which is essentially the sampler-component of the renoise tracker software, incl. its effects. the cool thing about this is that you can route and record audio through it - anything routed through soundflower, instrument channels in your daw, or whatever you have hooked up to yo...

i've used the 250 ohm version of dt-990 pro for 2.5 years now and i really like the sound of them. really comfortable to use over time, both in terms of ear-fatigue and general head comfort. the consensus seems to be that the semi-closed 880s are better, but i'm sticking with my 990s.

Aliasweber: I used Renoise for quite a while before getting back on the Ableton gravy train. Is redux worth my attention? you get tracker-functionality within a plugin and most (all, i think?) of the stock effects from renoise. its also nice to have a sampler-plugin that actually does sampling. you...

ableton 9.2 (loved 9.6, but i lost all my tal plugins when i upgraded so went back to 9.2. also, kinda missed the old simpler tbh) logic pro 9 (back and forth on this one, now its back to using it as a soundsource via soundflower) soon, i plan to buy reason essentials 8 to use via rewire in ableton ...

i'm using logic 9 a lot now. i've stumbled upon one strange thing, which is probably not strange at all but i don't understand it, so thought i'd have a go at asking the question here. every now and then, i have individual channels routed to a bus, i.e. drum groups. so, say i have three kicks, some ...

i think this one is a prime example of how a breakbeat can be used to good effect in a more techno-y track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJVBD2ZFusA just a simple breakbeat flowing throughout the track, running through some delays. loving the interaction between the drum-machine pattern and the b...
