hears my two cents: drum rack is awesome to learn how to make beats with samples in ableton. or do MPC style stuff. alot of my samples tend to freeze my projects up in a drum rack for some reason so i had to do away with it. so now i just make a bunch of midi channels and drag my sample on. (puts it...

yo. so first, glitch mobb made their drums with ez drummer or something similar. they use ableton. for awhile they had their lemurs hooked up to effectrix and they had the parts already laid out in a sequence view. thats what edit does too for his live show. he will play his bass and such which is j...

i loved reason. its what i learned in. its a great tool for midi. and great to learn(repeating myself i know). the subtracktor is still a great synth IMO. i love skream distortion and have still yet to find anything similar. i use to build a synth in reason or sometimes use some stock sounds and eff...

gotta say mate. you listed no reason why ableton isnt doing it for you. plenty of songs have been made with ableton hell with out midi controllers. draw in automation is better (IMO) to make really accurate adjustments. skrillex uses ableton FYI. dont go crazy mate. think of a band. punk for instanc...

howdy yall. hope things are well. to start off: hudson: really cool. it sounds really spacey. drugs might be needed for a better inspection hah. but in all serious does it peak a bit? it was in my headphones but it could just be them. real quality mate. oprs- digging it. that bass is cuttin through ...

i have to say, i have been using ableton for the last 5ish years and i still love it. i recently made the logic switch for some various reasons, main ones being latency problems and CPU usage. ableton will get gnarly with cpu if you put an EQ with anaylizer on every track. not ALL of the plug-ins in...

Free Pack. Downloading now. Figured I'd share the love. http://spunkfacesamplers.com/freebies/gritty-dubstep/ The new release from Spunkface Samplers sees a brand new pack filled gritty down right nasty beats and deep gut busting basslines. Also added in are some lush, organic music loops that are s...

ok heres the deal: im a complete newbie when it comes to mixing and mastering. i read this thread from the start and macc's talking about gain on the peak output, and how it should be like -8 db for drums etc. i use reason, and i dont see a fuckin master gain output that shows levels in negatives; ...

Is it weird that I pay attention to time rather than bars? For instance I usually use about :30, :45 (rarely 1:00 but sometimes) intros, about 1:00 to 1:30 loop, :30, :45 (rarely 1:00 but sometimes) breakdown, and finish it out with about a 1:00 to 2:00 second bit/loop (exact times relative to BPM)...

another suggestion, you gotta right click on your send knobs to turn them on in the returns and you can send. i find the sends in ableton, atleast my current version, to be really strange. I will get harsh latency with drums now and then. i do a lot of grouping with effects racks and use chains (tha...

well i am on a macbook that is a couple of years old and im am now dated. i had ableton running last night and just had drums, with effects going, as well as i built a sub. i was hitting 50%. more and more ableton is doing this to me and i cant figure out why. i even thought about switching to logic...

i think it all matters on what you are going for as well. i tend to go for a max of 3 layers for a sound, hell two typically cause my computer will generally start shitting its pants if i havent bounced it down yet, and even when i do, i then have all the soft synths in there eating my cpu still in ...

Just make it 2-3 weeks after signup before you can post in production. People will have either learned to search either via google or on the forums by then, or have actually experimented and found out that it is *surprise* fun to experiment. Or at least they will see the massive amount of hate the ...

@JLproductions: one word friend: bass. heavy stuff and i like it and it is sounding really polished. there is a place for tunes like this to come back right now, just the barebones of design (not saying that in a bad way). love the snare rolls goin in the beat as well. its got a total groove. the sy...

so if you open up ableton and goto a channel strip. add any old instrument to try this. for this example ill just use a drum rack. throw a sample in the rack and draw out a note. (a synth might work better to hear it) where your midi note is, if you look under the clip square, there should be 3 circ...

@edn Good stuff man. Bring out ALL of the strings though. Id say and if you bring them up you could bring the drums back. otherwise its a great sound. would like a tad more glitch out of it even(just a personal opinion with that though :) ) @alexvont Cool vibe. I think the synths needs some work. It...

Ok so its seems it is an issue with my mixdown. Is limiting or compression in my mastering more likely to squash my bass? Before applying my mastering effects nothing in the track is peaking any higher than -6db more then likely. especially the sub when limiting. i only limit at the very end. if be...

@Ascian: dude loving the jazz electronica stuff. want an album like that. check out this album called "from L.A with love" great shit you would find groovy i think. i have no suggestions but i wanna hear the whole tune hah. like drums and all. really diggin it :) @Quasi118: pretty cool. th...

i dont think people saying he needs to image, compress, do frequency ratios, transients etc is really helping this dude out...start basically and work along to fit your style. i can tell you about 3 - 4 of the listed things by that mastering dude, joker doesnt do in his tracks...its ALL about the r...

yeah its legit.

like i said it is only when i scrub, when i upload to soundcloud or just listen, the problem is gone. its hard to explain and i probably explained it worse than it actually is.
