Re: u-he ACE patch contest - plug in!

its quite a waste to engage the secon lfo just to get an inversion of it for example.. but maybe ther are other ways to get that done.. will have a closer look later... One way would be to set the phase knob on the second LFO from 50 to 0 (or offset 1/2 the knob's range) - for proof try a square wa...

u-he ACE patch contest - plug in!

Hey, thought I'd drop a note about this contest on KVR - http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=299003 More details are in that thread, but basically - submit a patch or two for u-he's ACE, possibly win some u-he software (which is really great stuff, all of it). Not a huge time sink, and pre...

Re: Emulating hardware synths in Operator - Juno 106, SH-101 etc

Does anyone have any good presets that emulate real hardware synths? Operator has so many options that it can just get out of control for me. Hardware synths have specific feature limitations that give them their character and make them what they are. No limits=no identity. Does anyone have a sugge...

Re: Suggestions on increasing the chance of getting demos heard

Thanks - considering doing this in the future at some point, but know absolutely nothing about it. From the blog post: Another great idea that also protects your material from potential theft is to do a short mix of 4 to 6 song clips as a single streaming file. Then I get the full overview of your s...

Re: rendering question

Someone raised an interesting point in the Analogue thread. Running your project at a higher sample rate wll make some of the ableont fx sound better. ok cool. What about rendering? I think the point was that warping (and possibly some other effects, but definitely some modes of warping) should beh...

Re: Apple are considering going with AMD processors - MacRumours

^ fair enough. some of the issues you described above though, would be driver issues on the side of the vendor of said software/hardware (u-he etc.). its up to them to make sure their "equipment" works. they have to live up to their claims. in this case, Apple would only have to provide a...

Re: Apple are considering going with AMD processors - MacRumours

Does the sound of Live's summing engine bother you too? My arguments here have been a little paranoid, worst-case scenario but it's definitely not imaginary. If you look into what's been happening for the past 10 years with SSE between Intel and AMD, you should find that it's a pretty ruthless indu...

Re: Apple are considering going with AMD processors - MacRumours

Didn't Apple claim around the time of the intel switch that they had Intel and AMD builds running alongside OSX for years? They said the switch would take a year and 6 months later we had new macs and a whole industry scrambling to create a Universal Binary. Maybe that is all a switch would take. A...

Re: Apple are considering going with AMD processors - MacRumours

http://www.9to5mac.com/intel-apple-534093460 has alot to do with apple competing with intel so that caused their relationship to go sour. Meh, both of these cases of Apple turning away from Intel here have really solid technical explanations. The Intel integrated graphics is a kind of hackish, gene...

Re: Apple are considering going with AMD processors - MacRumours

If I was a Mac user, I'd consider this good news. I am, and I don't think this is good news at all. Intel and AMD may technically run more or less the same machine code, but there's still potentially plenty of architecture-based conflicts that would require developers to either rewrite critical sec...

If it's Apple w/e, yeah ... I haven't seen an Intel vs. AMD flamefest in a long time though o.0 Things have changed for both Intel and AMD, so it might even be informative.

Re: Ableton Live with SSD Drives? Fast and secure files theory

SSD drives are like USB Flash Drives. If Vista or Win7 is installed you can use the "ReadyBoost" option with a USB Stick and save a lot of money ;) . For the daily work & usage as systemdisc or filestorage, an SSD drive is a bad option, i think. If anybody needs a stable/redundant and...

Re: Ableton Live with SSD Drives? Fast and secure files theory

Memory on a computer is sort of pyramid shaped - there's a very small amount (well, in modern terms) that's very close to the CPU, then RAM, then the hard drive. In order for e.g. samples to be quickly accessible to Live, or various graphic elements quickly accessible to a windowed operating system ...
