Re: Top 3 must have plug ins you'd recommend to a new starte

i would definitely recommend a plug for each human orifice as 3za had offered up.

Just make sure you don't mix up the ass and mouth plugs unless your looking for that ATM effect used by many producers today.

Re: Sub Bass Trouble

If your adding distortion to it then you might as well make it your mid sound =).

Re: Sub Bass Trouble

genevieve is right, a sub is a simple sine wave. I hardly ever sidechain as i despise house music and that is where I hear the most sidechaining done. It is not necessary. However I have found it helpful to add a little bit of square wave to the sine to add some harmonics.

Re: Sub Bass Trouble

I bet it has something to do with your sidechain settings, i would try messing about with those until you have found the sound your looking for. Also you do not have to add saturation to your sub. I make all my subs in Massive and they are very audible, no problem hearing it without adding distortio...

Re: The Ableton Q&A Thread

I have a DSI Mopho Desktop. I have created a patch that I want to use and have set it up in ableton with the external instrument and everything works fine. I can play it with my keyboard and it sounds great. The issue I am having is whenever I draw in midi notes and press play, it automatically chan...

Re: WIPs/unfinished tunes for feedback * no finished tunes *

@swaggr - Not really my style of production, although I have been trying to incorporate some of the beat aspects of electro into my own work. Anyways I think the beat is pretty legit sounding, I really liked the use of the stutter snares in the beginning. I just feel that it gets alittle boring and ...

Re: Production + Narcotics

I love being opiated when I produce, drugs and music are my two favorite hobbies and for me they go hand in hand. For some reason I get this extra motivation and my workflow picks up dramatically. Its been in my daily routine for a while now, work -> go home and shower -> chew 4 (10/325 Hydrocodone/...

Re: Using Kaoss kP3 with Ableton

Thats what i figured, that the MIDI cables were doing nothing for my cause. Right now I have rca cables going from the saffire 6 to the kp3 (pic1) then back to the saffire using 1/4" phone(m) to rca cable (pic2 2). I can hear the synth sounds of the kp3 now when i use the touch pad, but i cant ...

Using Kaoss kP3 with Ableton

I recently acquired the KP3 for cheap but im having some problems using it with ableton live. I want to set it up so I can use it as an external effect on audio . I am currently running ableton live 8 with a saffire 6. I'm not sure if I can use it running MIDI in and out cables from the saffire to t...

zekk tekk - hi hats feel too "jolly" for the track if you understand what i mean? Other than the tune sounds really good, and different which is good. um4mi - very interesting tune, i enjoyed the beat and rhythm changes. The synth in the beginning kind of annoyed me though, maybe it could ...

kushmane - really like the intro, the build up and main part all sound on point to me. Good job overall, just finish it up. johnw1415 - you obviously understand how to modulate and make dirty synth sounds, now you just need the arrangment and more melody to the bass line. adover - love the drums and...

Re: WIPs/unfinished tunes for feedback * no finished tunes *

@NRHc Really like how chilled the track is, the percussion is sweet and really sits in nice. I dig the style alot. @Darj The glitch seems to work, not too much its easy to take overboard. Good drop and switch up. @Basstest good wobbles, alittle hollow tho the sub should help that tho. As said before...

Re: Need help with monitors and interface

I might have spoken too soon...I dont think it is running off of ASIO drivers. If I choose the ASIO driver type and select Focusrite USB ASIO Driver for the Audio Device I get the error Hardware does not support the requested sample rate. The only way I get sound in Ableton is when I use the Driver ...

Sorry i am using windows, thought i had included that in the original post. I have ASIO4ALL installed as Ive been producing with my stock inbuilt soundcard, but I thought using the saffire drivers it would replace having to use ASIO4ALL. So in Ableton I should set it to ASIO4ALL? The Rokits arent ev...
