i can't decide between AKG K601 or 240 or 240mk2 (it seems i can find both online still)... i'll be using primarily with my Machinedrum, MPC, laptop... the 601s look awesome and seem like they'd be comfortable for extended tweak time on my Machinedrum.

I just got a Samsung NC-10 to replace a stack of drum machines that have been collecting dust. The drum machines are pretty sweet for what they do, but in a way they're a bit like reinventing the wheel. Now that netbooks are around with decent battery life and specs enough to do some audio work I fi...

I recently bought a Machinedrum... gearwhorish I know. I am a little mystified by the sampling features though. Anybody on here have any experience with these?

Has anyone used FL on one of these Asus EEEs? I've heard the SSD versions are pretty decent but a little underpowered. I am looking for a good live PA alternative.

Harumph...

Something like tips... layering closed hats, tambourines with kick drums or... avoiding the snares on 9 & 13... these would be helpful too.

any style, Dnb, Hip hop, Dubstep... i'm hungry ( and a noob )

I need some new insight into writing breaks...

I am about to purchase hardware from a dood i met on a forum. How can i make the transaction secure without...uh... eBay?

Has anyone messed about with production on a UMPC yet? I was wondering about what it might be like to use one for live PA. Especially something with a solid state hard disk. I figure with a solid USB controller it would be damn close to hardware in reliabliity.

It seems everyone on here is devoutly PC based but what do you think is a fair price for a Quasimidi 309 these days?

I think they seem pretty awesome. They've sold out in Tokyo though so it will probably be awhile before you can find one. I'd definitely get one though.

no one for Renoise? i heard the halcyon days of Jungle are due to trackers... didn't/doesn't Aphrodite use Atari and a tracker for wobble...

i dunno fer sure so i ask?

i am leaning towards Renoise i guess... i was hoping for some push in that direction...



if no Renoise... why not Renoise?

i was using Audiomulch for awhile but the developer seems adamant about not implementing a sequencer for VSTi... this sucks a bit as you might imagine. it's a good tool but in some ways, the lack of a VSTi sequencer, it is a bit like reinventing the wheel. i've used Fruity in the past and found it O...

I've just started listening to dubstep and find it to be everything I liked about DnB... huge crushing wobbly bass. It seems the emphasis is more on the sub sub stuff though whereas DnB's bass is more midrange bass (?) Anyway I've got a mixed kit. A bunch of pedals, a King Kapitol Punishment Glamour...
