Ableton Forum

okay, so you can stretch a clip as much as you want, but what about embedded polyrhythms? Ex: you are playing quarter note triplets. Now, those quarter note triplets are considered to be the new downbeats. Then, within these new downbeats, you are playing some funky quintuplet pattern. Then, if you ...

Hi. I am actually an FLStudio user. I love FLStudio b/c it can make literally any rhythm (polyrhythms and embedded polyrhythms, any rhythm I want or could ever dream of ). I am just wondering how Ableton is at this. I recently downloaded a 30 day trial. I don't know how to use it all yet.

ex: 5:2 ...

Wow. This is much more feedback than I ever expected. Thank you all very much. It greatly appreciate it.

ooo. dum and malutki, very useful websites. Thank you very much! When I have time I will check those out!

Tonedeft, I have taken three calculus courses, differential equations, a little ...

Hermanus, I am seriously considering it I'm going to apply for an internship for Summer 2011 (right before I go to graduate school).

Just to clarify (because my original post was mis-leading), I am not interested in making my own software, just working for a company that makes music software.

Ark, I DO know a fair amount about C++. I never claimed to be an expert, though. As far as I know, making DAW's is in a completely different ballpark than other programs. Sure, there would be similar coding practices between them, but DAW's deal with audio and manipulating that audio. That's why I ...

This forum is updating fast! I like that!

I've heard a lot of people mention DSP. I finally got a concrete answer:

signal processing theory and how to implement it in code would be very helpful.

if you want to build your own filters, flangers, and all of those effects in one day, then you need ...

ark, lol...I've dealt with iterators, but I don't remember all the lingo. haha.

Thanks Dum! I didn't even know programs like that existed until now. I will definitely check those out! Thanks!

Hi, my name is Jared, and I am a computer science major at Missouri S&T. I really love programming, and I really love music. I would love to work for a company that made software like Ableton! If I am to make software similar to Ableton, what kind of knowledge should I have? I already know how to ...
