Recording loops with Korg Monotron

Hello everyone, Recently began to put together a sample pack for the Monotron. I started by creating a bass sound I like and recording individual notes for a multi sample of the preset. Then I thought I could experiment with the LFO Rate knob and record some loops of the results. My problem is havin...

Help working keys out recordings

Hello, Recently myself and my creative partner have started to record ourselves improvising and we're using the results as the basis for new songs. However one problem we've come across is an effective tool for working out the notation/key that the recordings are in. As we're improvising with a Mono...

Re: Things from this year that I wish I had learned earlier.

I'll bite: Always start with the drums and bass. If the song doesn't play in your head over and over after you leave the studio, DELETE and start over. . Good post, and I especially like/agree with "if it's not in your head..." However, the point about drums and Bass is interesting. I rea...

Re: Who has a silent laptop?

Mass Movement - This is how I do it. Turn the laptop upside down and locate the screws for the case area(s) where the fan/ducts are. This varies from machine to machine. On mine, I have various "plates" of plastic above the housings and some plates hold others in place. Once you have remo...

Re: Songs without compressors or limiters

Robert Henke's last album did not use any any compression or limiting. http://www.monolake.de/releases/ml-025.html Personally, in my own music or people I work with - no.

Re: Best guitar pedals/ outboard fx for electronic musicians

Hi All, I just wanted to hear some stories of anyone using outboard fx such as guitar pedals with any degree of success as part of their Ableton music making process. Particularly interested in hearing if people think this can genuinely add anything to your sound, by taking certain parts of the pro...
