Re: 4k SUPPORT... It's 2016.

Absolutely needs to be fixed. It's an issue for any high DPI screen. To those who are quoting the "disable scaling" solution... The main Ableton interface with scaling disabled, zoomed to 140% or so, looks gorgeous. But this only fixes part of the issue. Disabling the scaling arguably work...

Re: Is it possible to draw actual curves in automation?

No, but you can use hardware. Twisting a dial ads more points on the curve. So if you practice it / get it right, it'll be more curve like without manually going right down to tweak points yourself. TBH, I don't miss curves greatly from FL... I find I can get it close enough with a few more points, ...

Re: tracks OK, now what?

You might need to specify what you mean a bit more... :) Don't worry about investigating sends for now. I use them occasionally, but honestly, you don't have to there's other ways. Room could be taking about the stereo spectrum, or headroom. Stereo spectrum is basically, when you're listening on you...

Re: auto bpm device

Tapping isn't accurate enough for you? Personally I'd trust my tapping than a BPM... depending on the type of song.

I don't know of an external device that does it, but there's plenty of software solutions that take an MP3 and estimate it. Not sure about streamed though...

Re: Which Sounds Better Nord Electro or NI Komplete?

Personally... I like hardware. I just bought a Virus TI2, specifically for the integration. I gig occasionally, and use it for other live stuff, but the power of external hardware is undeniable. Plus, with something like TI, its very easy to integrate into the studio. I've used Komplete beforehand t...

Re: Drum-Rack vs. Arrangement View

I vary... sometimes using drum racks only, othertimes using drum racks for a series of drums; like I group all the hats together, claps etc. I find it depends on how varying the beat is. If its a series of different patterns, but distinctly patterns, its visually easier to just lay it as one track a...

My mind is too particular to accept something that's only vaguely similar to what I wanted. It's annoying like that.

Re: Original synthesis versus Presets

Personally, I think using presets is fine. Its not using loops... sample loop users annoy me, samples are okay. But presets; there's a lot of skill in manipulating a synth. But overall though, I like only using it as a starting point. Presents, if you're using good VSTs or a synth itself, have been ...

Re: Previewing samples in the File Browser.

Did you place the sample in a device, like Impulse? They typically will cut the input down by -12db and apply an envelope (unless I'm mistaken, someone jump in here if not), so it won't be sounding exactly the same as the preview. If its just placing the file in directly, try turning off warping or ...

Re: Crackling when recording audio

I usse an MAudio FastTrack Pro. Its reasonable, but one of its major downflaws is crackling, or more like pops. It might be different to your problem, but mine is caused by fluctuations in USB power. So when the power dynamically shifts, such as allowing the USB port to go to sleep, it results in a ...

Re: Huge Kick + Bass Sound

Thanks for that; been playing with it tonight, see that its going to make a difference. Just makes it feel a lot tighter.

Not that that wasn't bad, but does anyone else else have tips? :D

Huge Kick + Bass Sound

Hi Guys, I've been doing production for a little while now, but one thing I really haven't mastered at all is how to get that fat kick + bass sound, heard on harder styles (dance, trance, hardstyle). I.e. bands like Pendulum. I'm sure there's tutorials, but I scan YouTube frequently and they're all ...
