never seen it jump above 45%. the keyboard works fine in reason, so I know it's something to do with ableton. I just re-installed and it's still doing it, so it could be some disagreement between the keyboard and ableton, which then tricks it out for the laptop keyboard as well.

it's now playing random notes without me even touching it. I think my keyboard is haunted

Okay this is a weird one.. about an hour and a half ago everything was working fine and now not only is my control surface (m-audio keyreg 25) playing up in Ableton, but the setting to use your laptop keyboard as a controls surface is acting up as well? Basically if I hit a note on the MIDI keyboard...

that would have been perfect owlindaylight, i can think of so many uses for that.

2day, i can't believe i forgot about gating! i got it doing what i wanted it to, thanks for the help.

ableton 8!

hey guys, i'm looking for a way to modulate MIDI with audio, in a way that's sort of the opposite of a sidechain.. as in, when you sidechain B, it ducks when A hits, right? i want B to increase in volume when A hits, and when B isn't making any noise, B isn't making any noise. anyone know a way? if ...

bump! new one up top.

Hi guys, basically I've been asked to join a band recently doing sound effects and keyboards and stuff like that. I've been thinking about how to pull this off and decided the best way would be to continue with what I'm familiar with: pre-programming everything in Reason 4, and using a korg padkontr...

i've messaged them to you mate!

it'd be cool of you if you could let me know how they sound on a system or what sort of response you get!

EDIT: new tune preview on the soundcloud, http://soundcloud.com/shigstep/dafoenk-preview let me know what you think! 320s of the finished version on request! safe all, been a while since my last post but i've got some new tunes for you to hear. i'm going under the name Dafoe now! any feedback on the...

this is serious stuff CBA, can't get enough!

I made this thread back in april, and looking at what I listed in my first post I've got to say the two most important things I've learned since then are also two of the most basic: 1. Sample choice. Especially when used for percussion, spend time finding or creating the cleanest and most precise sa...

I figured some of you here would find this interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r38r3BIgew&feature=related Tim Exile talks us through his live set up, which is powered by Reaktor and controlled using various behringer (i know what you're thinking) midi controllers. It's fully inspired me...

you're all acting like he's an idiot but not one of you have told him how to properly make a clip fade in and out. internet forums tend to have a lot of people with sub-par social skills though, so i suppose it's understandable. if you're doing it with the faders on your mixer, right click the fader...

i've got a couple i've wanted to learn how to make for a while if anyone knows? first is white collar grime by mistabishi, the high pitched synth at 1:20 that kinda sounds like a rhythmic laser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfhWMMAyuD0&feature=related second is the synth used in the verse of i'...

I always think of ring modulation as a something wierd from a geeky porn

thanks a lot for all the offers of help, hurlingdervish sent me a couple last night which i ended up using. here's the (almost) finished track if anyone wants to listen, i'm not sure if the spinback thing works now i've done it

sounding good man, i love the synths you've chosen for each track and they way to work together, not too OTT. it creates a really dark brooding kind of vibe, but without relying purely on ridiculous sounding bass patches. drop w-bit crusher if you're spinning tonight!
