When I listened to that hi-hat part in the middle of the track, it just randomly flanged and I was sooo confused. Realized it a few days later.
this is why I always solo in the step sequencer using those little dots, that, and my mixer tracks become tangled routing messes.

For my first month of using Ableton, I never realized there were Drum Racks or even Impulse...

Spent that time putting together 6+ audio tracks of each drum sample playing on one track each. >.<

I still do this now. I hate the drum machine and impulse! nothing wrong with that, it suits my workflow. For example my snare could be made up of 3 tracks with each different snare layer sample on each track, then grouped. The group is then effectively a bus. Works for me anyway :dunce:

woaaaaah, you hate drum racks?

possibly the single most useful+flexible tool i've ever used in music production.

not saying anything wrong with doing it all in audio, just bit surprised.

This! The amount of flexibility it gives you witht he mixer/manipulation is nuts.

pretty much anything i wanna do it's capable of, not many other drum plugs give you the ability to drop synths into a slot the same way you would drop a sample in. also using the drum rack/impulse combo is amazing and also being able to do any combination of those things just mean a ridiculous level of flexbility.

Thanks for the response and I've actually seen this video, but it's not really what I'm after. Let me rephrase my original statement: everytime I have a decent reese in massive and go to resample...
Turns out like this:Soundcloud

Rendering a track and leaving a massive gap at the end so when I went to upload it on Soundcloud there was as huge silence.

yeah man I have a few sets bounced into wavs so I could load them in a drum machine if I wanted. I've used drum machines for toms though, its easier to get the velocity right.
im just partly lazy and partly stuck in old ways. plus it means I can really control the dynamics of the drums by automating different layers

yeah man whatever works, i would say though that it's worth knowing the full capability of drum racks you might be surprised at some of the things it can do.

ditto, my default set loads with a combo impulse-drum rack beasting combo. i could probably live with drum racks and operator alone.

Ok, sod it...

Way way way back when internet streams were all mono 32kbps, I made a track and (don't ask me how, I used to smoke a lot back then) right before finishing it inadvertently batch processed all my drum hits so that one channel was phase inverted. On a quick listen before mixdown it all sounded alright.

After uploading it to a long-since-defunct soundcloud-style site (mp3.com was it?), my mate sent me a mail telling me he really liked my new ambient direction. 'Not like you not to have drums in your track Bob', he said.

:oops: :lol:
