I tend to use a few vst's that are either not free, or that I made myself. You would almost have to make a new vst /au rule. Also, I do alot of resampleing, most of my saved-as-self-contained directories are well into the 400 meg range, at least 2 top out over a gig. Resampling is why I use live, so...

i've been away for awile. getting realy comfortable with live. i will work on a few neat guides in the next week or two... man, live was updated too neat... i think this remix came out cool, if your bored check it out its all live on my end. some of the original sounds were from a roland vsynth impu...

i still have a 486 running amithlon with nothing but octamed and a HD full of samples. I use live in a fairly tracker like fashion. A natural progression or something.

oh yeah and a PS... None of my music is copywritten. It would be lame to just slap your name on it and become a star (acualy, i'd be pretty inspired if that worked for someone) but if that realy makes you happy... but, if you want to steal loops of whatever length thats cool by me. There are a few r...

Looking for one program / setting / method to do this though is even worse then wasting time. I'm not trying to sound like some kind of music dick or something, but like, if there was a 'sound like sasha' plugin, it would defeat the point of trying to sound like sasha. Diffrent sounds respond to dif...

http://buzzmusic.wipe-records.org/index.php?id=12&action=details&userid=143 if you go backwards from the most recent upload to the first it does two things, it turns from mainly live made track to mainly buzz made tracks (www.buzzmachines.com) and in between is the combination of the two (an...

You could always preplan your tempo changes. Listen to a composer like Ben Monder (oceanus is an album worth buying). There are 4 people, no improve, and tons of speed/timing changes. In some ways its easier with a few people. What you can do is figure out how you want the time changes to go, spend ...

google up bome's midi translator and midiOX. If you need to get trickier then that (you dont to do this) check out something like pd (pure data). All of those are free and for PC.

For the record. Diffrent software will wound diffrent while playing the same wav file. I dont feel like digging up links. But, who cares. Everything sounds diffrent, everyones ears are diffrent, every room is diffrent. Embrace the variables, some of the coolest computer music I have ever heard was w...

Personaly. I like to have a directory for each track I'm working on. I used to manualy copy everything to that directory in other software. In live, I just consoladate all of it. For drums I want to load in impulse, I cut them to length (a little longer then I need). I take all 8 clips I want to loa...

Does anyone here happen to live on the eastern shore of maryland? I would love to meet up with some other live users and get drunk and rock beats or whatever, but I work at like 6am on mondays. DC is an ugly drive for me to do that late and try to wake up on time. I live in denton, just north of eas...

I think what he means is, how do you make live follow the tempo of your piano or whatever instrument. The answer is you dont. :( If you think about it for a few minutes youd realize why. If you were just playing 16th notes and changed speeds it would be one thing for software to track it. But to be ...

Its not my editor of choice, but it will do all the basic stuff realy well. Its cross platform, free, and when I checked it out, stable. If you dont have an external wav editor, get this for sure. I'm sure there are other free editors out there too.

What's the best way to do this? I'm about to that point and want to move each audio track in to Sonar. Can I resample each track to a new track at once? I think what you want to do is this. Say you have 10 tracks of midi/audio/effects whaver. If you have send effects its a little more of a pain. Ma...

Try to build some tension. Tons of tricks for this kind of thing. Pitch ramping (up or down) works good too. Like, the typical snare roll during a break before it kicks in is a snare that speeds up untill its almost a retrigger sound. If you do it with impulse play with the master transpose envelope...
