I understand the concept, but is this done to turn drums into more melodic elements in the track (not saying their sequencing isn't melodic, just in a different sense)? Let's say if you're working in the key of A, and you pitch all your drums to A from C, is that essentially the purpose: so it sits ...

Oh snap, why am I only finding out about this now?

Shit, I'm finally going to be able to make some professional, fly beats,

Interesting discussion.

I think there's a clear distinction between Daft Punk sampling instrument hits and interpreting it their own way with their own style, and Cyrex sampling entire basslines with notes and no modification. er, nothin.... nothin, its just that's not what they do, they nick entire passages, loops, etc v...

lol what the hell?

About the Piano ; Budget? I have just under £350 to spend on a keyboard, I was interested in the MPK88 but it was way out of my price range. Now I'm looking into Fatar's keyboard line and I found an 88 keyed, fully weighted, hammer actioned keyboard for £300. I think it's a no brainer :> But it doe...

I've always wondered how people made record labels out of thin air; guess it just takes drive, connections, and experience. Haha, good luck man. Wish you the best.

This can't be Kanye AND Jay-Z...It's so poor.

I never knew Flux recorded those vocals himself.

Is there a way to automate the transpose feature in Ableton without any knobs or sliders? There doesn't seem to be an automation line but I think you can assign it to a knob

I have one of those in my old Disco sample pack!

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but it's a great dry, quality sample

Very interesting. I've never considered myself as a DJ, nor a producer to be honest, but reading that, I assume a lot, or all, of the money comes from live performances.

I'm not new to Music production per se (gotta make a good impression using these fancy words), but after a long time of being an idle connoisseur (yeah, I'm making such an impression) of the art of Electronic music. I've been reading up on the techniques around Electronic music, like drum programmin...
