Help please!

Post by greenspectral » Sat Nov 14, 2009 6:44 pm

big ups ya'll. i'm new to the dubstep forums but i've been lurking. all kinds of great information. anyway to the point, i produce original electronic music, my setup for production is simple; i have one hardware synth (alesis micron) -> peavey 12-chan mixer w/ digital efx -> computer 1/8 inch jack -> acid pro. i don't really use any software synths or sequencers (yet). i create almost all my sounds using my hard synth. so far i haven't made any dubstep type shit, pretty much just downtempo/idm/jazztronica leanings. you can check out some of my shit here: http://www.myspace.com/greenmusicolor .

so to my inquiry for help...
i got a gig coming up later in november, and i'm wanting to expand my live sound so i can create more impact. its hard as just one man to really fill up a venue with sound using the equipment that i have (no sampler, no turntables), all i have is my synth and desktop. so what i need basically is a high quality program that can do a few things but most importantly i need a prog that can; a) precisely loop pre-loaded samples , and, b)live looping- the ability to record a loop melody or beat live, then automatically incorporate it into any pre-loaded loops. so basically say i have a few pre-loaded loops playing and then have a beat going on my synth, then say i have a melody written for the track, i want to be able to play the melody live and then incorporate it into the already running loop track, so i can just (hopefully) keep adding melodies on top of the already looping samples. and of course the trick is i need the live recorded melodies to stay in time with the pre-loaded samples.

shooooowheeeee, that was mouthload. hoping you guys can help me though cause i havent been able to find a program really capable of doing this. im hoping one is out there...anyone know what i need?

big ups.
