How to get Alpacas in time?

Post by lowpass » Thu Jul 16, 2009 9:04 pm

I've been struggling with this for a while, how do you get your alpacas properly in time? mine always start off at an even pace but then either speed up or slow down :(

Thanks for the tips guys, I've been feeding mine quite well but It's still hard to get it to move fast enough without overshooting that "sweet zone" of speed,

Maybe it is down to maths, would appreciate if you could dig out that llama calculator

cheers

Live is good for pretty much anything but in the case of Alpacas you need a specialty DAW called Shepherd. You won't find a torrent, it is hardware only.

This looks like it could be very helpful but unfortunately my religion does not permit me to scroll from left to right.

If you're serious about production you really should be using llamas, Alpacas are great to learn and some people can use them really well, but the smell of fresh llama in your beats does something amazing to the character of the transients.

but you see, sir, that people turn to Alpacas for their amazing workflow and no one would want to give up the Alpacas GUI for an ugly Llama

I know in Steinherd you can use
Sync-ed Llama Frequency Oscillators...
works great for keeping Llamas in time...
will test this in the field on Alpacas and
post results...

Does it allow you to purchase a sufficiently large monitor?
They are all WS if that answers your question but the real question is how did I quote this message several times without scrolling? I am going to hell for sure now :oops:

It's not about what you use it's how you use it.

Plenty of pros use Alpacas with Steinherd and it sounds just as professional as llamas.
