Re: Korg Volca Bass vs. Volca Keys?

Lemme give you some insight as an owner of both, the bass will probably be better for what you're trying to do.

Re: How to get rid of "hum" from Ohmicide

be more specific, do you mean like a dull roar or squealing sound that doesn't stop afterwards? if so, you need to dial down the feedback parameter a bit or use the noise gate's parameters (i.e. turn up the threshold on the bands that are running with lots of feedback) to try to rein the tail in, bu...

"Darkstep is a subgenre of drum and bass that fuses elements of darkcore with uptempo breakbeats and ambient noises (similar to those characteristic of neurofunk)."

I wonder how many of the people who post about how they've bought jbridge, and/or switched over to 64 bit, have ever actually experienced an "out-of-memory error".

That's not fully accurate, Live 9 has both 32 and 64 bit installers! Now, it's fully possible the OP installed it as a 64 bit program, in that case, it could be the culprit.
