you can get some wonderfully lively hat patterns using the cymbal model described here: http://www.mcld.co.uk/cymbalsynthesis/

I've got to admit I never liked Ardour.

Non-DAW and Non-Mixer are really interesting but not really my cup of tea.

There's qtractor and Traverso as well which I've never tried. (Standard time line sequencers bore me.)

I'm currently having the happiest music production time I've ever had using ...

+1 on the zoom h2.

record a room/retaurant/office/road/open space/river/turkey house and lay it on top of your track.

you'd be amazed how trippy your office will sound with a little reverb on it.

I've got a trigger finger for sale. good as new. still got the box.

it doesn't come with ableton live lite as installed it and i upgraded it to the full version.

only reason i'm selling is i don't use drum pads much and have another set on my MicroKontrol.

I found the thing very responsive, had ...

you sort of can, freeze the track, duplicate the frozen midi clip and drag the dupliacte on to an audio track. it then does the conversion for you. marvelousness.

only found this out the other day and it's aving me more time than an a lot of other time saving things.

too many different things at once. i've finally got most of ableton down but its always surprising me and very slowly entering the rather dark and scary rabbit hole that reaktor is but getting some lovely sound out of it. i'm also trying to play key a bit better, get a wireless router installed near ...

i'm going and i'm actually a little frightened.

the chill out room's looking about as chilled out as something that's not very chilled out at all.

fingers crossed i'm not going to be gurning as hard as i think i'm gonna be when this weekends over.

Grab the librarian and set the pad to send the note you want.

are there any tickets left on the door?

I'm in London today and still haven't planned anything to do?

easy chaps,

i downloaded the pack and hoping i can still say 'i'm in'.

never really finished tune but hoping working within limits will stop me meandering round from sample to sample and actually allow me to get some arranging done

please count this as a complaint.

I was a bit miffed when i discovered I couldn't do this.

fucking amazing intro again. vocals are lovely everything builds smoothly with a real sense of something emerging as the track unfolds.

You've some how kept it really interesting even though you've used very few component however the track does dull towards the end, loses that sense of of things ...

easy owen, recognise most of this one!

really like it. as stated by some other chap the intro is marvellous. really moody, love the clanky snares, bells, sort of reversed reverby delayish thing. all lovely.

i felt the drop needed a little more impact and that the bass started out a little jerky ...

this is long shot it sound's like you've probably checked it, in live 7 there's a little 'factory samples from library' button in the dialog you get to by clicking File -> 'Collect All and Save' . have you checked that?

me and a mate have had no trouble shifting tunes between ourselves.

you'll find a link to a page about it on here: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27120&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
that page is gold mine for ableton stuff.

let me know how you get on. me and a mate have been planning to do this for ages but never get round to it

i think anything will do. try a few and see if any just click with you.

try and stick with one mind you. i fell in love with both ableton live and renoise, both totally different tools but capable of making a tune (in much the same way as anything else imo) and now it's :? every time i sit at my ...

vadarfone. i'm on it if you don't mind workin with a bit of a noob.

i'm keen, been torn between ableton and renoise for months and rarely finish a track. i could do with some one to beat me in to finishing a track.

can make wobbles, get me head round chopping breaks and just about understand the ...

right click sliders whilst playing and i think stuff goes in to the autmation lane doesn't it?
damn you daft tnuc, i swear it was one of your threads that gave me the idea of trying renoise in the first place and you don't know how to do automation? :o

you can also map midi to your sliders ...

check out renoise. it's damn near free and although it looks hard to get your head round is probbaly the quickest way of building beats i've come across. i only bought ableton 7 recently and still find myself living in renoise instead.

get a couple of COmputer Music magaazines as well if your in ...
