I think Cubase is great, it was the first DAW I learnt and i didn't find it hard. Although it takes a while to master everything it can do, which is a lot! I'm not sure about Mac and PC, you'll need to ask them. i did some research and can use the key with eaither which is cool. Its basically a cas...

Cubase is awesome. But if you already have Ableton and know it well, you won't gain much by getting another DAW. They're all pretty good, why waste the time learning software you don't need? I think there's already scale and chord plugins in Ableton, plus a few third party plugins like Cthulhu that...

hey guys I have learned in ableton 8 (now have 9) and have tried demos of FL, Logic, Reason but always found flaws in the use personally that bought me back to ableton. I never tried cubase but it looks really interesting with a lot of cool features (split windows for mixer and the chords track syst...

the mixer outputs for two speakers how would i capture both channels?

You'll need an amp (receiver) or a DJ mixer for 2 reasons. 1) the signal from the turntable is extremely low, and they boost the signal. 2) both amps/receivers & DJ mixers have a connection for the ground cable from the turntable. A soundcard won't (as far as I know). In my set-up, I have my tu...

thanks guys, im mainly learning so that i can write basslines and chords and melodies just using a keyboard, at the moment im using midi files and drag dropping to make a pattern then messing around in piano roll to make something thats in my head id rather learn to just play. I produce wider genres...

Hey guys I am looking into learning piano/keyboard as a form of developing my production in terms of theory and quality of my synth parts. I was wondering is anyone else doing this / has anyone else done this and can recommend the best way? I assume since im learning for production i dont really nee...

the focus rite has pre amps

I've tried with my Scarlett 2i2. My best results were from going from my Mixer to the sound card with one of these - http://www.djzone.co.uk/ekmps/shops/djzonecouk/images/nexera-6.35mm-jack-stereo-to-2-phono-1.5-metres-390-p.jpg with the input switched to Instrument not Line (no idea why but it sou...

Hey guys I was thinking of setting up a technics 1200 with my pc for vinyl sampling in ableton. It all makes sense to me apart from how i get the link from phono technics audio plugs into the sound card? As far as im aware the focusrite only has these two preamp inputs on the front that use a TRS pl...

Hey guys I dont really like mixing in ableton on their mixer, i was looking into getting a mix board that can control abletons faders etc allowing me to do all my mix down out of ableton including EQ stuff if thats possible?. Is that something thats possible? or does ableton not integrate that well?...

hey guys I had my first go at mixing and mastering and got this, though i think my mix may be a bit off, all done with ozone. I know the track isnt dubstep, i wanted to make something different to learn something new! https://soundcloud.com/tbaproductions/risk-tbaudio-free-download I wanted to know,...

Guys I pirated a 250$ plugin and the presets don't make my tracks sound pro = this thread. Yes Ozone is all you need (tbh its more than you need), T-racks is just another suite with similar tools - there's no special tricks, mastering is a whole different art in itself... Seriously read the manual ...

You're looking for a shortcut for something there's no shortcut for. Read the links again. Those are to get you started. How good are your mixdowns? How well is your room treated? How good are your monitors? How much experience do you have mixing down, shaping sound and sound designing? Try to cons...

so ozone will do all the jobs well? no need for anything else?

Hey guys So ive taken a look at the mastering thread at the top of the forum, but its almost to much to take in so was hoping for some easier to take in advice for a beginner to mastering. I wanted to know in regard to plugins what would be a default setup for a starter, i know its a case of doing w...

i haven't started working with melodyne yet, so i might be wrong about this....if your music and the vocal are both in a minor scale, can't you just select all the blobs in melodyne and move them up or down until their root key is the one you need for your track ? yea i thouhgt that might work but ...

thats fl studio only? im ableton

Hey guys Im working on a remix of a track in a different key to the vocal I want to use in the track, vocal is g sharp minor. I loaded it into melodyne and its showing me that some of the vocals hit a C note? theres no C in the G sharp minor scale right? So Im kind of confused about the following th...
