oh the irony.
So you're saying Massive uses more cpu than a ensemble with the same functionality and sound as massive in reaktor? Really?Legendary wrote:+1Lowpass wrote:cpu hungry
I can understand WHY people use it but personally I go for Reaktor / FM8.. NI do make beastly pieces of kit though.
Massive has sine, square, saw + tri oscillators and they are named as such; evidentally you;ve never used it.Rendr wrote:Stupid names for the oscillators, I mean what happened to sine, square & sawtooth? Are they not good enough names!

Upgrade your computer, I'm on a 6750 and find it hard to get close to 50% usage before I've moved on. Have you tried updating Massive to a more recent version?Legendary wrote:Me either but its nice to keep below 50%.. issit not?
My friend has a Phenom 9950 and I can tell you that you're nowhere near the truth. His system has no performance issues whatsoever in regards to "multimedia".Blunt-DMO wrote: AMD mate, the architecture is different and is not as well suited i find with multimedia.
What artifacts can you hear? I thought I could hear something in the upper region that seemed to shift around a lot and kind of reminded me of lossless compression (mp3 etc). Massive isn't amazing for subs, you should check out Absynth 4 (the sine sounds real meaty down the bottom end of the keyboard) and Spectrasonics Trilogy.nowaysj wrote:
I don't think Massive sounds clean though. I can hear all kinds of artifacts and other digital nastiness, and that is what I'm liking.
From last nights twiddling, I think I may not be using it for subs, but then again maybe I will, I wasn't looking around down there too much.

before making such a big post you shouldnt skim readUpgrade your computer, I'm on a 6750 and find it hard to get close to 50% usage before I've moved on. Have you tried updating Massive to a more recent version?Legendary wrote:Me either but its nice to keep below 50%.. issit not?

anyways lets leave off the nerdy stuff and just sayUpgrade your computer, I'm on a 6750 and find it hard to get close to 50% usage before I've moved on.
I didn't skim read, stating that AMD cpu's are inferior to Intel cpu's when you're comparing two different generations of processors isn't the smartest move. I wouldn't advise someone against buying an intel cpu for production because a phenom trounces a pentium 2 for "multimedia" purposes. Last time I checked "pound for pound" AMD still has the performance crown however for the best performance regardless of cost Intel wins by a long shot (and about an £80k difference in priceBlunt-DMO wrote: before making such a big post you shouldnt skim read
1. i like amds, its a fact that the type of amd processor he is using in the dual core dept does not compare to an intel core2duo
2. pound for pound "at the moment" you can put an amd against an intel and the intel will be quicker at rendering audio and video than an AMD
does that mean amds are bad at the job when you go into more expensive chips? hell no but the intels DO currently perform better. the moment an amd can perform better than an intel i will go back to using an amd chip.
But it has them? Sine, Sawtooth, Square, Triangle... They are thereRendr wrote:Stupid names for the oscillators, I mean what happened to sine, square & sawtooth? Are they not good enough names!

i second that, its not as sexy as FL, but ableton is well laid out, very used friendly tooJohnny Beat wrote:Ableton? Horrible lay out?! BLASPHEMY!Legendary wrote:Or Ableton is ... its horrible lay out
I've never used Live but from the videos I've seen it's a lot better looking than FL. FL resembles gothic lego, only thing it's got going for it is the step sequencer, ease of use, the mixer sends and the fact it loads up in a second imho.darkmatterUK wrote:i second that, its not as sexy as FL, but ableton is well laid out, very used friendly tooJohnny Beat wrote:Ableton?
