So EKT, For graduation i get 1500 US legal tenders to spend as i see fit. Here's what i'm lookin to score: A nice midi keyboard i can perform with (Less than 600), a CME UF8 looked nice but i guess they don't make those anymore. A drum pad i can hit with sticks (Less than 200) (something like http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ale...ler?sku=449753) A Means to field recording (nothing fancy, sound quality is not terribly important, i'll be recording ambient sound and instruments) (Less than 300) (I'm clueless what to look for here) And finally a nice cheap analogue synth would be fun to experiment with (the more versatile the better) (Less than 50…

I want to make a plugin
by Guest Iain C- 10 replies
- 966 views
The only way I can find fulfillment is to create the plugin I have in my head. It uses X-Y control fields to manipulate .wav samples in super-secret ways. I decided to try Synthedit but all the tutorials focus resolutely on synths and not sampling - I suppose this should have been clear from the name but I wanted to try it. Can SE actually do anything significant in terms of sample manipulation, or am I going to have to steal a copy of Reaktor/MAX for this one? NB I've never programmed a damn thing in my life

as some of you mentioned using Fruity Loops as a slicer i did also had a try as it seems to complicated to do it with recycle i have a question regarding the slicing technique in FL: how do i select a later part of the material i am sliceing? like for ex. i have a 3 minute wav and i want to slice the last 30 sec. instead of the first minute or whatever is default - how can i manage this without cutting the wave manually in audition before because FL just always takes what comes in the first 1 minute or so by default 2. question: can i alter the amount of samples sliced? i case i want more than 124 pieces

Make a track out of these 5 samples
by Guest quantazelle- 7 replies
- 914 views
http://lizrevision.com/the-5-way-path-crea...io-samples.html You can effect and otherwise mangle the samples, but you can't use anything but the samples as a source (no vocals, other intsruments or synths). When you're done email your track to daemon @ daevlmakr.com and he'll put it up here with the others: http://www.daevlmakr.com/Pages/5ways.html Then let us all know, of course.

Drum sample sites.
by Guest meneedit- 5 replies

Hi guys! I recently purchased a Hip Hop beats CD from siliconbeats.com but I was a little disappointed with the lack of variety in kick drums. A lot of the beats contained very similar kick drums. Can somebody please recommend me a better drum sample site??? (a site where I can order samples on CD) Thank you :shade:

How does FLAC audio compression
by Guest ۞ Syntheme ۞- 3 replies
- 3.1k views
I'm interested in the technical details. The official site doesn't go into any detail. Google searches reveal nothing. I thought it was open-source, so the algorithms should be too? i have so many questions, here's one: Would FLAC compression reduce the file size of a file containing 2 minutes white noise?

Need to get ringing out of these samples
by Guest Niosis- 0 replies
- 605 views
So, I made a track but it seems the samples I have have ringing in them, I was just wondering what the best method was to get rid of it? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=698220 The sample of "Alone" has some ringing in it and also the "bass drum" has some also. I was wondering should I apply a low pass filter or cutoff? If so, what's the name of the program I should use? I've got all of the Waves plugins.

Last FM and you

I am pretty sure it takes last fm at least a month to record plays for artists. I have been kinda keeping an eye on how it works and I noticed that it changes once a week if im lucky and my listeners were from like a week to 2 months before. I know because friends tell me when they listen to my stuff and i wait for like a month for them to show up on my last fm page. anyone else experience this?

Ok.. so I got myself a copy of DP 5.1 (for OS X) to try out. Fuck me it's not exactly intuitive. All i want to do right now is muck about with some audio sequencing. I've got a few audio clips imported as soundbites. Now, how the hell do I get them into the sequencer part? The help file says click on the little icon that says "insert soundbite" so I do that, and a menu comes up with the list of soundbites. I choose one...and then nothing? So umm what's the rub?

Fruity TS-404
by Guest TI-86- 3 replies
- 1.2k views
I finally finished organizing all my VST's for use in "Live", however I can't seem to move the "TS-404" from FL Studio. I'm not sure why, but It seems like its part of the program and not a separate plug-in like the rest of the fruity instruments. Does anyone know of any VST-synths that sound/act like the "TS-404" that I can use as a VST for other programs???
