Yeah I would love an MS2000

Hey Ben, did you do the sample fuckin' with FL Studio?

Btw, love that Juno sound there. Very nice. Or with other words: fucking good acid bass in da house :lol: .

I passed a breakbeat sample through 2 or 3 Beat Repeat in Live, then dblue Glitch.

Sorry, I didn't get it. You passed it through what? Live? What's that supposed to mean? FL related? Sorry, i'm a little lazy right now :-)

no, Ableton Live man :p

Ableton Live 7 is out today ! I'm thinking about getting it with Educational Pricing : 399€ instead of 799 for the complete Ableton Suite !

Biff, where are the demos ? :p

oh right...

EDIT : wow that Drum Rack look so great ! I can't wait to get Live 7...

I tested Ableton 7, and the new features are pretty damn hot. The Drum Rack rocks, the Analog rocks (even though it's got nothing revolutionary) the Hardware instrument is cool : you don't need both an audio and a midi track to control an hardware synth and process its audio in Ableton. Tension sounds good too, but I don't really understand all the parameters it has.

Its fine funny myslef and mike were saying we were going to eventually have loads of drum samples to trigger over our loops when p-laying live, this looks just spot on.

What I really want to be able to do we live is hook it up with a normal dj set up and then mix into what is being played on cdjs, trouble is it is difficult with the tapping device to get these intime.

yeah but there's a new feature made for that too ! You can "nudge" the tempo, make it a bit quicker or faster to sync with something :P

Yeah yeah, Live is really top notch

And the Drum Rack is what I've always wanted for drums too.

@rich acid

we always found the tap tempo was a nightmare to get stuff in time with vinyl/cd etc

best work around (pre nudge feature) we found was to assign a slider on a control surface to control tempo. when you assign it you can set the min/max temp parameters.

set them for a narrow bpm spread around the tempo you're playing at and then trigger ableton on the beat and just ride the fader back and fourth to correct the mix (a bit like US house dj's do when they're mixing with vinyl) works pretty well.

it's either that or shell out for a red sound midi sync box.

Cheers chebs and ben_j. Myself and mike had talked about the red sound midi sync box, im guessing that would allow the cdj/deck to go into ias audio then midi sent out into ableton that would match the beats?

they've re-designed them recently. updated the firmware etc...some of them are now sold under the peavy brand too I think...

yeah they chuck out a midi clock which you can sync ableton etc to. it also has a nudge funciton which lets you get it tighter if it drifts.

from what I've read about them they're good with 4/4 based stuff but can get a bit confused with other time sigs, really complex breaks or if the beat drops out and you've a load pad noises etc..

we've looked into getting one too. it's a question of cash at the moment tho' ...isn't it always!

chebbers

dammit, I want a crack for Live 7 :'(

Do what i did, buy an old version then they will give u a free upgrade

woo got my nord modular working (they have power sources with flipped polarity!) and i am getting an elektron sid station for cheap! and ben_j i swear I'll get those distortion tests out soon!

not free, even if you buy Ableton 1 you have to pay something like 69€... But I may do that yeah.

EDIT : just remembered I have Live Lite from my E-MU Soundcard.

Meh, I can only get Ableton Live 7 (not even the complete suite) for 299, updating from Live Lite. It's what I can get with the educational price
