Hello all. It's been a while since i've been around, 50-60 hour weeks have left me with no time for anything. I would like to have some sort of mcp type hardware to work in ableton. I really like the look of the novation launchpad. I think that I would also like some hardware with knobs/pots to...

This is a side thread to one I have going on. I am a drummer. I record 7-9 mics at the same time(alesis firewire 16). Every now and then the lazy members of my "band show up, 2 guitars, 1 bass. I am in the process of upgrading everything. Selling the pc I have been using(with firewire) for...

I am going to start doing some out of town work and would like to bring some music with me to keep me occupied during down time. So far this is what I am looking into: Description ThinkPad T520 - 1 Yr Depot Topseller Warranty Processor: Intel Core i3-2350M Processor (3M Cache, 2.30GHz)...

I have been using an alesis multimix 16 firewire since I got into home recording. At first I enjoyed having the physical mixer and felt like it gave me more control. Now I am starting to feel like it is just extra steps in the whole process. Seems like anytime I need to adjust something, it...

I am a caveman and seem to have major breakthroughs while using ableton a couple times a week. Today's new tool that I had briefly read about but never used, sticking a compressor on a return track to beef up levels without peaking. Before I was constantly battling a compressor on individual...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49501962/effect.mp3 swear words!!!!!!! in case you are easily offended! Anyone have any advice on how to replicate this stutter effect. I have tried just looping real close and can get near what I am wanting, pain in the ass though. I was aiming to loop and then automate...

I am thinking about adding some memory to the PC that I am using mainly for my solo electronic music making. I have 4 GB, win7, 64 bit OS, 3 GHz, 1TB HD and 500GB external HD, using ableton live 8. So far not too many issues, I do have the OS stripped down for performance. I did run a little...

Having an issue with being able to here quite a bit through a guitar pickup. Working on a song with a lot of distortion starts and stops, never noticed before. It is just for band practice where we record our ideas. Everyone is direct to the alesis firewire mixer. I am pretty sure it is the...

Bass player has a hartke lh 500 head. It has two speaker outputs that say 8 Ohms next to each one. He just ordered a 4 X 10 cabinet that is 400Watts at 4 OHMS, and plans to plug this as well as an 18 inch speaker (wattage and ohms unknown but assumed to be 400Watts/8 OHMs) He says he is going to...

Here is a photo of a mic with a cut up pop filter on it. This is my bass player's solution to eliminate vocal mic bleed. He was so excited about this purchase. He actually called me at midnight last week to let me know that he had solved all of our mic problems and that this pop filter he bought...

Hello folks. Here it is. I bought a new 20in monitor. I would like to be able to hook up the new monitor as well as the 17inch older monitor. I only have a single onboard vga output on my pc now. I have a pci-e port available. So i'm thinking, no problem, I just need a dual output video card. My...

The reason I am asking is due to an earlier post, I am trying to find speakers that will pair well with my Peavey cs400. MORE confusion on my idiot part. I have been reading about the whole speaker power concept to the point where i am stumped. Seems that the majority of PA speakers out there...

This has happened to me randomly a few times. I'll be in the middle of working in ableton, and while i'm playing tracks, MIDI notes disappear. Just the sound, Visually I can still see where the notes should be playing, they just aren't. I've tried duplicting the track, and this will bring the...

Here are the finished product of my newest panel "design". I went with muslin, $1.89 a yard. I was going for inexpensive so looks are secondary. I figure down the road I could add some sort of sheer nylon type fabric if I want to pretty them up. I did get a little to cost greedy by stretching...

Here it goes. I currently have a peavey cs-400 amp. I also have two shit wedge boxes each with a pretty shit 15" and non working 4" X 10" horns. As far as the specs on the speakers, I believe one of the 15"s is an 8 ohm 400 watt "pro studio, and the other one is anyone's guess, I am pretty sure...

Here are a few photos of how I am going to build my next 10 panels. I appreciate the advice I got here and after thinking things through, I was able to cut costs as well as reflective surface. I used a 1X4 piece for the top and bottom and I used 1X2's for the vertical pieces. Total wood cost per...

hey yall, I am just wondering if anyone knows of any good reference source for effects explanation? I am mostly using ableton these days, but I still tinker with mixcraft and acid. I was hoping to find a good resource that will give some in depth info of just exactly what I am doing when I am...
