mirren, ableton 8 pon Mac.

Question - if you've only just started, why 8 and not 9?

[murky21]

because Martin had a spare ableton licence for 8...we are gonna go halves on the upgrade but couldn't wait any longer so getting cracking on 8

given myself a target of making a label sendable tune by my 30th birthday.... got 21 months

[wub]

Gotcha

[mIrReN]

I always forget you guys are a couple of years older lol

That's a great goal, mate


One of mine for this year is to self release an EP...

PC w/ FL8, and growing collection of outboard stuff. Random drum machines, synths, effects etc.

[murky21]

Get on it dude, it's never too late i reckon (I'm fucking well late to the party after meaning to for so long!). I needed to wait to get a lappy too to start, been a pc user all my life and got a mac, seems sick, no regrets. Mac OS seems a lot better / slicker

TBF I've been eying a switch to an AbleMac setup for a while now. So it might be inevitable at some point. Only concern is that it'll hit the reset switch on my learning curve to a certain degree, I can practically program stuff in FL with my eyes closed after a decade of using it

whats wrong with that! sounds good.

Quite keen to not share anything until its good. People (especially younger people, without meaning to stereotype) seem in a massive rush to share things, i want to (unless i turn out to be shit) come out with something sick from the off

I've set myself the EP goal every year for about the last 7 years... always get one or two tunes finished in the first quarter and then entirely run out of steam once the sun comes out.

One of these days I'm just going to ZIP up all the false starts and dump it somewhere.

Worked for Mickey Pearce.

What would be a reason to switch from FL to Live?
Both are meh to me, but that's my opinion.

I see major advantages to Cubase and Pro Tools mainly. Live was quite easy to get going in, but Logic was even easier

[mIrReN]

Yeah, already seen some of the stuff in my head being made last 2 years lol
really need pc asap
think I'm going for a pc because I don't want a laptop anylonger + I can make it as beast as I want without paying too much

edit; hope you guys achieve your goals! dsf taking over bass

[murky21]

whats your soundcloud mags?

obviously i don't know anything else but AbleMac seems fucking great, very intuitive, and have made something way quicker than i thought already

Live setup integration and user as multitrack recorder/editing setup seems more intuitive in Ableton than FL.
