Got the email / sent payment. Can't wait ! Vinyle is delayed though.

I love my APS Coax's. A bit shy on bass but so useful and accurate from 55/60Hz ! It's quite a pleasure do mix on them. Anyway, whatever monitors you may end buying, try to sort out a demo (and preferably a properly burnt-in) pair for a week or so in your own room. That's the only way to know if you'll like them or not.

France being quite a depressing country, I could leave it and live elsewhere.

Same here ! Can't wait to listen it all, the teasers make me think it could turn into my very fav 2013 release. What a nice year :)

Email sent, reserved a copy of both. Has anyone received a confirmation email ?

max4live I guess ?

xox ! elusive4 : would you have an example of a desk design to reduce/avoid those reflections please ? I want to build a new (pretty simple) desk for my DAW and monitors, nothing complicated at all really, I don't need/want a large surface. I'm also considering a very small surface and DIY speaker stands (with the IsoAcoustics on top). Thank you !

If you don't mind, I'm going to quote myself on Gearslutz on that matter : Accuracy over 60Hz up to mid freq's is so useful to get the lows right, much more than subs. I was a bit anxious about that when I bought my APS Coax (closed design, coaxial drivers, super accurate / fast but not going as low as other monitors)... I no longer am. My mixes are better than ever, with heavy kicks and basses, and no more mud at all. I check subs with a set of headphones, et voilà. I'll add that I can "feel" what's going on down there, even if I don't have that "kick in the chest" a huge monitor would produce when blasting a 4/4 808 beat. If I can ever afford it though, APS is about to release a small sub tuned for the Coax. I'd love to have one... set of those !

You're welcome Jason !

IsoAcoustics stands. Forgive me for sounding like a salesman (which I'm not) : they'll improve any speaker dramatically, no matter how bad/good the monitors are. I've heard them on cheap Wharfedales, my Coax's, expensive 3way Focals and Barefoots... and the IsoAcoustics decouple the speakers from the desk in a fantastic (much more efficiently than Auralex MoPads / Primacoustics foam stands). So there's no more unwanted resonance between your monitors and what you put them on : no more mud in low freqs, and consequently a much better overall response / focus / clarity / accuracy. They can look a bit expensive for what they are, but they worth every penny. There are some youtube vids that show how well they work if you're curious. You'll se, the improvement is quite noticeable. Ps: lots of user reviews there too : http://www.gearslutz.com/board/product-alerts-older-than-2-months/708155-isoacoustics-desktop-daw-monitor-stands.html

Yes, I absolutely love them ! Do you also own a pair ? Their accuracy in frequency and transient response make producing/mixing a pure joy (to me at least ;)). No more guessing or bad surprises, they're damn honest and revealing : if something sounds bad/wrong (or great/right) on them, then it is. I've been using them daily since april, and now that they're fully burnt-in/that I've learnt them, I'm delighted (and so relieved !) to hear that my new tunes sound great on every system I can play them through.

the core of my set-up : Numerology 4, a set of APS Coax to hear it all as-is and a NanoKontrol2 for very basic MIDI duties.

Let me guess then : Tr-808 & 909 Arp Odissey 2 Ms 10/20 Pro-1 Akai S2000 nice toys !

I've been there a couple of times too, all condolences Bob :(

aka Poume : and Siam : They've been living together for 6 months now (Siam couldn't move-in with me at my GF's when I did, so he had to stay a bit more at my mum's), and now they seem to be excellent friends (which wasn't obvious at first, 2 males...). It's so nice to see how happy they are now to live together, to be able to play with another cat.
-
All Clae's, right ? They all look really nice. I love those kinds of classic designs with a modern/color twist.
-
Yes, I love them :) And they're as solid and confortable as most Dr Martens.

Sounds fantastic.

I finally wasn't at home when it was supposed to air, so I don't know !

Quelle heure/chaine ?

Then I wouldn't go for Reaktor or Max. You might end re-inventing the wheel instead of doing music. In my humble opinion, limitations enhance creativity while endless possibilities annihilate it. If I were you I'd go with a pretty minimalist kit instead, and work its limitations. I used Reason for 10 years, knew it upside down doing lots of weird CV/Combinator stuffs... and was considering switching to Max for years. I finally went for Ableton Live / Five12 Numerology combo with very few yet carefully chosen synths and effects, and couldn't be happier. Do you want to understand how a synth works and how to patch it to your will, or do you want to know how to code it ? These are 2 really different things IMO.
-
Ok ! Then you have to use Reaktor as a AU inside your Numerology stack, create a dedicated IAC buss, route the MIDI out of your Reaktor ensemble to that IAC buss and re-route it inside your stack. You'll get latency this way though, as well as increased CPU usage. You'll get better timing and less CPU usage keeping Reaktor standalone, or with both N3 and Reaktor sync'd/rewired to a 3rd DAW. You can also try to recreate your Reaktor ensemble in Numerology. I don't know how complex you went with your ensemble, but I'm sure you can easily reach similar (if not identical) results. That be the most elegant solution. You can also post on Five12's forum, Numerology has a very helpful and friendly user base. I'm "nil" there. Slightydrybeans post there too !
-
AUs can't directly output MIDI, they have to use IAC MIDI busses for that purpose. You can try having Ableton as a rewire/clock master, and slave Numerology and Reaktor to it ? I think that'd be your best bet, most flexible set-up too. Drop Jim an email, I'm sure he'll gladly help you ! edit : hmm I may have misunderstood your post, are you actually talking about N3 AU/VST or any AU/VST ?
