My band mate jen and I are building a touch screen projection system to use with live. This is our proof of concept test setup using generic beats just to test how and if it works. we are using wiimotes to track the IR light wand. Next step will be to build a fiberglass Window that lets us rear proj...

im in it to win it. prepare to question the time you called music.

get a cheap USB keyboard where all the buttons are perfect squares. they make them for POS stations in stores. its not rare at all. or get some kind of video game controller.

even if you don't become a guitar expert you will learn important things that can't be easily defined yet make your keyboard playing better. practice every day for half an hour. this also works with painting. when i get burnt out on music i go to my art studio and paint. when i get burnt out on that...

use an eq on the individual tracks to get them to sit together better. remove competing frequencies from one or the other. then on the bus you can apply an overall effect of you choice to achieve a more powerful sound.

very nice. the point being that now when im working on a 40 some track session i can group all 10 percussion tracks into one thing that doesn't take over my mixer. im also pretty sure that it's not using that much DSP. i mean it's not doing anything except routing audio in and out, right?

the korg ds-10 is capable and awesome. its not a toy. deal with it.

getting mine this week. did anyone see the comments on digg when it hit the front page yesterday? epic battle.

here is what i do when recording drums. this makes a HUGE difference in the final sound and is one of the best things you can do for your mixes. since all the drum mics and over heads are different distances from the drums the sound is going to reach them at different times. I find a good snare hit ...

the reverbs not bad at all. you just got to work it. that said when i got altiverb it was all over.

yeah but how about a kp3 emulator running on monome...

i just rediscovered fastFX for reaktor in the electronic instruments v2. Im using it on halloween, it should be awesome. also i made a 1 knob filter in reaktor thats smoother than the one in the liveracks forum. it took about 2 mins and works like a charm.

i use one of those USB game pad things for your left hand with all the buttons and scenes and hat switches and stuff. very handy.
