Thanks for the suggestion... By the way, they've blocked everything that we could use (safe mode, making a new account etc.). You can't format it without alerting the DET (Department of Education and Training). If you lose it or somebody steals it, it's got a tracking device to alert the police as w...

ok... thanks for your time. Gee, it's getting late here.

Which one would you recommend for me though? (I'd like something that I smoothly transition to from Massive)

Yeah... You're actually not allowed to run .exe files (or any executable file, really), but us students found a hack (it's a .jar file [which are allowed for some reason] that injects a dll file into explorer.exe) :) the only thing is that most things you cannot install since they require admin righ...

What's the best and most "Massive-like" free synth in your opinion?

I'll just have to ask the TSO (IT person) to let me install Massive... Thanks for the help anyways

yeah... you need admin's password (i.e. teacher)... And it's got tracking applications and hardware, so if i log into local admin somehow, they find out and I get in deep sh*t.

Yeah... the thing is... the school laptops don't have cd drives, and I cannot run setups without admin rights... :L

@wub: I don't want to get around the licensing restrictions as much as I want to just use Massive on my school laptop (yes, you heard me. I go to school) so I can experiment on the go without paying for another copy of Massive.... oh wait.

@Electric_Head: I see... damn...

Hello DSF,

Just wanted to ask, is it possible to run NI Massive off a USB?

Thanks in advance

Wow... exactly what I was looking for... Thanks!

I saw a link to this video on DSF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OApL9UlOAmY&feature=plcp Then I proceeded to watch these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZTvnvRbv4M&feature=plcp and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hks0WipZ7hY&feature=plcp And I was wondering, how exactly do I automate E...

Hey! I'm new to dubstep production and my WIP is actually 200 bpm (so technically it's not really dubstep)... but i'd like you to give me some feedback anyway... Now for my feedback (note that I'm just a beginner and I can't really help those more experienced than me, but meh) @opr: Really like the ...

Velocity is volume, right?

Title says it all

@KrEs try panning some of those elements to make it sound more dynamic. would also reccomend you layer that open hat a bit, I find it helpful not just to layer kicks and snares but prominent elements of your percussion too. very nice pattern though, and your snare''s very punchy, stands in a nice o...

well, what about someone like me who can't really say much? :L I'm a complete noob at this and I can't give feedback in terms of production... I don't know shit, which is why i need feedback. :L

Jeez....

Hello DSF. I finally made some progress in my first (i suppose you could call it attempt) dubstep track. I don't have very much experience in the production area and so i need your feed back. This isn't the whole song, just the drums. It's my third attempt at doing the drums and don't hesitate to su...
