    Another draft.  I like parts of it, but I think I might just move on to something else.

     

    This is a great track. Yes it's repetitive to an extent but I really enjoyed it! Great mix too.

    how fast is too fast ? please don't be silly.

    220 I think is fast enough. I made a few at the tempo a long ago!

    120-140bpm mostly for me for house, techno, acid and dubstep 

    170-200bpm for jungle and dnb

    soundcard ain't gonna do shit for your CPU performance. all a soundcard is really doing is AD/DA conversion, which is a pretty trivial task for most CPUs these days. obviously the components used, quality and reliability of that conversion will be much better with a dedicated soundcard, but it won't speed anything up or enable you to use more plugins etc.

    the vast majority of heavy lifting for plugin instruments and effects, and also sample conversion is done by your computer's CPU.

    so if you want more tracks, more effects and more softsynths, or better performance of all that, you need a better CPU plus as much RAM as you can afford.
     

    Yeah seems so. I think I'll be investing in a new pc soon and keep the laptop for other things!

    Incorrect tense

    I got the Tascam US16x8 in the end. Its a very nice Soundcard. Very sexy to look at and louder than my Focusrite but I'm not seeing a huge difference performance wise compared with my internal soundcard. It's so strange that my crappy internal soundcard comes out top in terms of buffering obviously sound quality isn't good though. I will keep the Tascam however because it'll be handy when I want to plug lots of hardware into it but it seems I need just a better computer to run Ableton Live i.e. a desktop even though my laptop spec wise should be good enough. I seem to have exausted all avenues to try and get more out of my set up.

    It looks like the back of the unit has 1/4” jacks. That link you posted doesn’t show the back, but:

    https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/US16x08--tascam-us-16x08-usb-audio-interface?mrkgadid=3303549775&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=studio&recording&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046934848277&lid=92700046934848277&ds_s_kwgid=58700005287207011&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=475644261020&product_id=US16x08&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9014978&creative=285689013555&targetid=pla-475644261020&campaignid=1465808290&awsearchcpc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0JDIl93v7wIVAAOzAB3wgQ3wEAQYASABEgKekvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

     

    If you look at the back image, there are more balanced ins. Plus whatever switching is allowed with the software and on the front 2 ins. So theoretically you should have plenty of balanced line level ins. If I were you would get a cheap balanced patchbay, if you don’t have one, that way you can easily switch around configurations in front of the unit and not have to fuck with the back of it. Either way, tascam is good, and if you can get one used for a good deal you won’t be disappointed.

    Yeah its got 4 stereo pairs of balanced line in jack ins. Should have mentioned that. ? I think headphone to xlr will work in an xlr input but I just need to check of a safe way of inputting line level to xlr. I'll continue my research!

    There are several out there, most are stereo, but you also may want to look into a usb turntable- which I’m pretty sure they make. If you have a high quality system already, then I would try and get a high quality in, so something like the apollo but just the stereo one. Now, if you are trying to just get a cheap stereo in, then you could anything from the old cheap m audio delta series up to the cheapest interface you see online. I’d recommend browsing gearslutz tho, for what’s the best cheap stereo in. I’m gonna guess it’s something like m audio or tascam.

    M-Audio M-Track Duo – USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting with Dual XLR, Line & DI Inputs, plus a Software Suite Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q1V77NR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AE6BF21ZXTG3DKJE6H6E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    That should be good for what you need on the cheap.

    You should be able to with the right cable, and if you have it switched to line. Also the software might let you switch- I think. Too bad it doesn’t have inputs like this:

    9FE99ABE-2315-444F-B230-F1C91EE8B752.jpeg

    Mm thanks so you don't know for sure though. ? I think the cable is not the issue as I have xlr to jack it's whether it can be achieved. Oh well I'm just going to get it secondhand anyways and if I can't achieve that I'll sell it on lol.

    Yeah definitely! These beats are catching fire! It feels like you've just gone up like three levels in breakbeat mashing overnight.

    Ha ha thanks man. Thanks I guess I had an intuition as to what to do!

    Love it man. Those pads are very 90s jungle as is the sub which is nice and deep and then you got that quirky acid line half way through!!! As my friend Yaw Noir would say 'Rollin'!!!
