Ableton + BCD3000 = Problems
by Guest Bad Influence- 8 replies
- 2.9k views
After a weeks wait my BCD3000 arrived this morning. Eventually after setup/installation and a few minor problems I managed to get mixing using Ableton Live 6(0.1.) But there's still a few problems I'm having. 1. Sound keeps cutting out for a split second every now and again. I've varied the latency speed a few times but it doesn't affect anything. 2. Ableton seems have adopted this funny habit of crashing eveytime I try and using Beat Repeat in conjunction with the BCD's assignable controls. Something thats never happened when I've controlled it with my Edirol PCR-M50. First time I've seen the blue screen of death in a while with laptop actually. Anyone g…

squarepusher Mastering/EQ'ing/Compressing 1 2 3
by Guest stolemb- 51 replies
- 5.8k views
Hi there. I've started some thing two days ago or so, and as always, im never happy with the sound as a whole. In this case, I want to use a pretty fuckin low bass at the start (a clear example of the type of bass im talking about can be heard since the begining of Squarepusher - My Red Hot Car). The problem comes when you render your flp (I use FLStudio 7) to mp3. The mp3 sounds with less volume compared to the original flp. I tried converting to wav, same thing happens. Tried several combinations with compressors (its the multiband compressor that comes with FLStudio any good?), tried also normalizing with programs such as the Adobe's one, but it fucks up the …

random midi clock buggery
by Guest furrybum- 2 replies
- 594 views
right then, where to begin with this one.. Im in an electronica band and our set up is based mainly around a few grooveboxes and synths. i use a macbook running live which is connected to the midi chain via a midi thru box. the midi clock is being transmitted by a korg EMX. Last night we were practicing and things didn't sound right. All the audio parts i have in live sounded wrong when slaved to the electribe, as if they were being slowed down. I turned the warp settings off on them and they sounded fine. We then tried slaving it to a roland mc505 and the same thing happened. Now when i got home I hooked my macbook up to my own EMX and everything …

by Guest welcome to the machine- 1 reply
- 589 views
I seem to remember, a LONG while ago maybe 4 years, someone posted a track here called tryst, I remember loving it and listening too it allot. now, after a change of computer or two, many reformats and lots of different hard drives it seems to have gone missing. does anybody remember it/have it/claim to have created it? it was a pad'y tune, with lost of high release/high reverb sounds in the vein of mallets or bells and a big kick i made a quick loop of the main melody/harmony as i remember it, anyone have any ideas? tryst_or_something.mp3

other temperaments
by Guest môak- 8 replies

hello there i want to explore more of the other temperaments, fuck this 12 tone shit, i want to do stuff in Harry Partch's 43-tone scale, in 19 equal temperament, etc etc how can i do this? say with ableton? if possible? the only method i can think of is manually creating like a waveform in soundforge like a triangle with a whole octave in the 19temperament in cent values; 19 temperament; A=0 , A♯= 63 , B♭=126, B=189, etc then sampling each note to a 'sampler', but this seems bullshit/fake anyone know how to work out this African American?

PSPSeq
by Guest Adjective- 7 replies
- 1.3k views
i loaded this on my friend's homebrew enabled* PSP over the weekend, it's pretty slick, i ended up hiding away at a party until i killed my friend's battery. as you enter the notes you can press down on the analog stick which reduces the probabilty that the note will trigger, from a definite 100% down to 0, a 0 being the same as deleting a note. pressing down one of the other keys selects a group of options, like press [triangle] and track volume and pan are selected, using the D-pad left or right adjusts pan, up and down adjusts volume. that sort of thing, i'm citing that example from memory so it may be not be the right button combo. you can use wavs of cour…
