http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamaha-EX-2-Electone-L...1QQcmdZViewItem $500 will get you most of the GX-1's sound production. It's got the same LPF/HPF modules per voice and its polyphonic analog with lots of odd extras. Ok, it's not a GX-1, but it's not $200,000 either.

Ableton Live 6: Rewire question
by Guest TI-86- 5 replies
- 993 views
I was doing some research into the possibility of using "Ableton live 6" within another program (such as Pro-Tools, Cubase, or Sonar) though the "rewire" function. I thought that I might be able to take advantage of the sound quality in those other programs while still being able to create and mix all my music within Ableton Live. After looking on the official "Ableton Live" webpage I noticed it say that "VST plug-ins" can not be used within "Live" while rewired into another program. This would be a huge issue for me because I do a lot with VST's while in "Live". What do you guys think or using "Rewire" with Ableton Live? Does it really help the sound quality a…

Processor question
by Guest Rambo- 9 replies

My friend is buying a laptop for making music on. He's wondering about processors and all that jive. Basically he's wondering (and me actually), do you just judge the processor on the speed or do you judge by what type it is. Or a bit of both? I dont know im an idiot. Thanks bye

decent low-cpu reverb for ableton?
by Guest Jimmy McMessageboard- 12 replies
- 1.4k views
i realise that i probably need to upgrade my computer to use ableton properly but i'm wondering if i can find a quicker easier solution. basically the problem is that as soon as i add a reverb unit to a machine, or even on the fucking a send channel thing - it starts fucking up the sound meaning not enough processor power or whatever that shit means. its so annoying. i'm currently using just built in reverb units. so i'm wondering if trying some different ones might work better. i recently switched to ableton live from buzz when it finally crapped out for good. the switch has been hard and i've considered going back a few times, especially when mcbpete said buz…

timestretchers 1 2
by Guest stolemb- 36 replies
- 2.9k views
What timestretchers do you know. I've always used the one that comes with dblue's Glitch, but recently found dblue himself released an individual Stretcher VST with more options. Also you are not limited to the "pink steps" on the Glitch VST, so you can stretch the sound all as you want. This is the VST im talking about: http://illformed.org/users/dblue/vst/dblue_Stretch_v1.0.zip Unfortunatley, it seems to be bugged. Theres the trigger button, that you have to activate to "stretch" the audio. I tried everything: Using the "edit events" thing, using automation clips, and even pressing REC and moving the trigger to ON, it wouldn't work. Seems like it random…

Using ableton in a live situation
by Guest furrybum- 6 replies
- 750 views
Been playing round with ableton for a while now and have decided to actually take it to the stage. However, I'm not sure if there's a convenient way of using it to move seamlessly between tracks whilst still keeping all the track parts seperate. Am I just being dumb and missing something simple?

I'm just curious if any of you do any algorithmic composition? Can I hear some stuff you've done? I haven't made any full compositions, but I've been working on some stuff with the Nord G2 demo that is constantly evolving... wouldn't call it a composition really, but I enjoy making a patch, and letting it run in the background. Its kind of soothing. So yeah. Show me your algorithmic compositions, experiments etc, and tell me what you used and how you made em.

I know this ought to be a rather simple waveform synth, but I've been trying for days to get it sound like in this sample (which by the way is from Radiohead's Exit Music (For A Film) ). It's really pathetic, I know, but it's just that saw or pulse-synth, but the synth in the sample sounds a lot more open and vivid, if you know what I mean. So please, no flaming because I do know it's a stupid question, but I'm obviously doing something wrong here.
