Here's a list of over 100 plugins, including virtual synths, samplers, and drum machines. And here is a list of free sample libraries with sounds you can just drag onto a Reaper audio track or put into a sampler. VSTPlanet also has a big list of free synths. Many of these virtual synths come...

How about the Samson C01 condenser mic for £49? RockStop have it, and there's a Sound on Sound review of it to help you decide. I have one of these but haven't used it much yet. It gives good sound through my Scarlett 2i4, and I haven't noticed the background noise the SoS review mentions...

There's a course called Introduction to Music Production, covering just about everything you might want as a newcomer, on Coursera. You can do it for free just by signing up to Coursera. It finished recently but will be repeated in February. If you want to take part in the coursework and submit...

You got replies yesterday.

That could account for it. I automatically assumed he was putting the compressor on the instrument or vocal track he wanted to affect. Yes, if it's on the master track or a main submix. I just tried an experiment on a 24-track tune of mine in Live 9. It has a Glue Compressor on the bass...

The only time I've come across this is when one or more tracks is sidechained to the kick, precisely in order to get this 'pumping' effect. It's called 'ducking' and it's a main feature of EDM. But you have to set it up manually. Even if you had a compressor on each track by default, it would...

You can download every pack that's shown as free when you're logged into the Ableton site. Whether you should or not is up to you. You could start by downloading the ones that look like they might be useful for whatever you're working on currently. I just set aside an evening and downloaded the...

I got Live 8 Lite with my Q49 keyboard but was using, and trying to get to grips with Reaper at the time so, like you, I was missing out on the ease of use and intuitiveness of Live. I finally got around to trying it and, within a couple of weeks, upgraded to Live 9 Standard and then Suite. I'm...

I don't know Adobe Audition but in Audacity I just set the audio host to Windows WASAPI and the input device to Line Out (Scarlett 2i4 USB) (loopback). Then any sound coming into or out of my PC can be captured into a stereo track in Audacity.

Ableton Live has a device called the Looper.

OK, thanks for the info.

Are you using the asio4all sound driver? If not, why not give it a go? Won't make your latency any worse. ASIO4ALL - Universal ASIO Driver.

Sounds like a vocoder to me. But might have a bandpass EQ on it.

And here's how you do that: https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/getting-started-3-setting-your-midi-controller/

And you can run an audio cable from the Casio back into the 2i4 for recording and/or live gigs, if that's your intention.

You could take a look at SadowickProduction's YouTube videos for a fairly complete course. It covers a great deal of what you can do with Ableton, but not necessarily in the order you want it. You might prefer to search YouTube for "ableton drums" then "ableton effects", "ableton eq" and so on.

This video covers the basic topics.

It can't. That's one of the reasons it's the budget option. It can record one .wav or .mp3 file at a time in X/Y, M/S, or 4-channel mode.

Do my ears deceive me or is that similar to the sound of someone flatlining? :)
