Ableton Forum

I use maschine as a vst plugin within ableton, usually put a kit together I am happy with and start jamming some drum shit.

Once I'm happy with it arm an audio track to re-sample and record each sound back into live as audio.

Make a new audio channel for each sound kick, hats, claps, perc etc and ...

Thought I would throw this out there...

Are there any differences and/or benefits people have noticed between simply grouping a load of tracks or setting up new audio track and sending relevant audio to the new audio track?

Guess it's maybe just personal preference ... thoughts?

I have recently bought a new macbook pro 15" 2.0ghz 8GB and I am starting to think I may have made a mistake and jumped the gun too quickly instead of waiting to have the cash for the 16GB machine with more storage space.

That being said I want to make the most of its performance, I am thinking ...

I'm from Glasgow but I'm living in Australia now...the only time I venture back is to hit Ibiza and this year SONAR in 3 weeks!

Awesome man! Really like it!!

great post, i agree with most things said on this, yes I have tonnes of unfinished tracks because I work on the fun bit creating a cool groove, bassline and what not then when it comes to arrangement and transitions and the boring shit I just sack it and move on!

there are many guides out there that cover prepping a Windows machine for audio production, have you followed any of those?

most likely your computer has background processes running that are causing the glitches.

thanks man had a read of a few articles and managed to solve the problem switching ...

Check your ASIO4ALL buffers. If they're too low, your CPU has to work a lot harder.

What effects do you have running on the tracks? Are they contributing to the CPU load?


Only 3rd party effect I have is 1x PSP vintage warmer on drum bus, the rest are native ableton compressors and eq's etc ...

I probably sample more than I use VSTs at the moment and I don't think anyone should be ashamed or guilty for using samples or presets, I use Omnisphere a lot the sound library on it is enormous and some of the sounds are insanely good!

Most of my basslines come from samples, 808 kick drums and the ...

I am also having issues with this, first of all I have only just starting using my laptop for production as I'm going to be traveling a lot more very shortly.

It's a great laptop with plenty of muscle, probably twice as powerful as my desktop which i also make beats on, I've attached image below of ...
