Maybe you shoule buy the app, It is most def worth the money spent on it. That way you get support from Ableton if you do have issues and you are supporting the software company to make bigger and better apps in the future. Well useing full version of Live 6.

yeah well color is a definate euphamisim. this bass is just appalling. I don't think I'll use Ableton at shows now. it's just too thin. yeah obviously havn't used a spectrum analyzer. but Have a cravk at this one: Take the Auto filter and put it on Low pass and pull it down low. You'll notice it jus...

sorry.. did I say don't point at my hardware? Ok.. um.. yes ears... just listen.. because people are releasing music on Ableton dosn't mean to bottom end is right. I can hear when an artists has used ableton, it sticks out like dogs balls. because of the way it sprays the trebs around. but I only ju...

Smile on Impact

Is it just me or...
..does ableton seem to drop off at about 60hz ?
anyone else noticed this?
and don't for a second even try and point at my hardware!

also the top end is all over the shop, but at least it's there !

dude.. RME generally have about 18db..
try it, crank your Pres above 0 and see how hard you can squeeze it.
If it's not the best compression you've heard... well... it could be..
but give it a listen..

I don't reckon it's real. Surely a fan cannot create the movement similar to a sub cone. Seriously, even their website is cheap as all fuck for such a high-end unit. I just don't understand how a fan can create that sort of movement. Please tell me how... I think the Blades move back and forth not ...

I have 20 db of soft limit on my converters that slam harder and faster than any outboard compressor I've heard. but you would'nt really want to use it as a compressor..? the apogee soft limit is nice for avoiding overs (and sometimes to squeeze some loudness), but its hardly a versitile compressor...

I have to recommend pioneer. The 800 is awesome aswell, the looping and tempo bends are phat. and they sound great, because the converters are such high quality. The 1000 is obviously excellent aswell, and they seem to be at more clubs. There is somthing to be said for getting 'good' at the standard...

Simplifed.. I've been producing music since I was fifteen, Originaly on 16 bit Dos Trackers, Now I have a a beautiful Protools setup with pristine, Pres and converters as nice as any studio.

About the only thing that would make an audio file sound different on CD is when the error is so great that it cannot read the audio data and instead tries to interpolate it, and I'd be surprised if this was a frequent occurence.

Yep, and guess what, differant CD's sound differant. Also if you burn a CD as wav data, it sounds differant to if you burn it as audio. also, an Mp3 will travel better than a .wav ... but please tell me we *were* kidding about these remarks, right? :D nah.. even if a cd dosn't 'fail' it will still ...

Well,

and listen..

Smile on Impact

Is that because when you play a CD on some computers it bypasses the audio card? nah, because it's compareing data, from a CD, to audio from a CD on the same output setup. I've done this test at home with my converters, and at a studio that uses Protools HD, (I think my cons are better, but they ha...

Smile on Impact

the sound wont really 'change', but yes there really is a difference with brands. . This is a myth. I can defiantly tell the difference between a good CD at a slow burn (i.e. 1x-10x) and that of a cheaper CD or a faster burn. I've found the TDKs really nice and Verbatim good as well. The sound of a...

Smile on Impact

Yeah there's definitely advantages to the tracker, it's reaally fast to do anything related to triggering notes on 16th/32nds with varied pitch, start offsets, effects etc. so for glitchy/dnb drums it's perfect. You could even just use it to do all your drums and bring the audio to a more "con...

Smile on Impact

Yeah.. I'm pretty anal about audio data.. I have heard .wavs that have been transfered. even as .zips. it's ok.. but, I prefer a low speed burn(as data, not audio) on a good disc Are you implying there's a difference in the final result? :) Yep, and guess what, differant CD's sound differant.

Smile on Impact

Sounds like a good idea mate, thanks for answering the questions - but if there's no guarantee that they're going to be stocked in stores or that labels will be definately hearing them, I'd rather spend the $150 on getting my own CD's pressed up with 100% my material.

But You'll have to post me a data disk.. None of this FTP sh:t. :D I wanna minimise errors.

I've applied for funding before.. it's slow and takes a long time to get a response.. better to cover the cost by making a kitty and apply for funding for promotion, which can happen later.

Question...If this made money, as we hope it might, where/who does it go to ?

yeah nah, i dont even use tools any more, its quite limiting for what i want to use it for. i dont need it then you'll need a Pci or firewire expantion for the apogee. Try the RME fireface, too. not quite the same punch as an apogee, but about 10squillion times a 002 and a really solid Soft limit.

1.) Always use a parametric EQ. Graphic EQ's are for wusses. 2.) When boosting Q must be wider (less than) than 2. 3.) When cutting Q should be narrow--from 1.5 or greater. 4.)
