Hi,

Does anyone have any good recommendations for drum rack packs suitable for oldschool hip hop breaks or lofi production? I usually end up spending hours trying to find the right kick/snare etc. I'd instead love to get some decent goto drum racks to speed up the selection process. Thanks!

Thanks - yeah, I wasn't sure about that. The audio interface is USB 2.0. It's a saffire scarlett solo.

Hey guys, I've got a 2018 mac mini i7 with 16gb ram. I'm currently using just about all the ports with an external thunderbolt, an external SSD, Push 2, and my focusrite saffire audio interface. I've noticed the CPU tends to run a bit high even on really small projects. Is it better to get a self po...

Yeah, from my initial tests, it looks like the hub is the issue. I had a few drives connected to the hub, among them, a couple usb 2 drives. I suppose all this combined sucking power from the mini's usb-c port was the problem. I do need the extra ports, so will look into a self powered hub. No joke,...

Hey guys, let me ask you this. I've got a satechi dock that I purchased for the mini. It's essentially a base that the mini sits on top of and is connected via usb-c (https://satechi.net/products/type-c-alu ... r-mac-mini). I then have 3 drives plugged into that. I will say this - tonight I unplugge...

Update - I ran diagnostics at startup to see if there were any hardware issues and everything checked out fine. I opened Ableton and loaded an instance of Diva. I went through various patches and the CPU hit ranged from 10-35 for some. These weren't complex patches. Is that normal? A few times, the ...

Hi, Sure man. Thanks for the reply. I've got a Push 2 and a Native Instruments m32. I'm using Live 10 and have the Scarlett solo 3rd gen. No remote scripts as far as I know. As for plugins, Ive got Omnisphere 2, Vengeance Avenger and EZ Keys by Toontrack. All legit. Aside from Live, the performance ...

I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen). Says on their site that it's compatible with Catalina. Hmmm. Sucks. I was hoping that would have been the problem. At least then I'd know.

Late to the thread, but I'm having the same issue with a brand new 2018 mac mini i7. Random crashes and freezing with, I kid you not, one track of Omnisphere running. For me it seems to extend beyond Live. I was getting freezing and crashes in Final Cut Pro on 30 second videos at 1080p. Unacceptable.

Hey man - I'm having the same problems with a brand new 2018 mac mini i7. My 2011 imac performed much better than this. Not sure what the problem is. Wondering if it's Catalina.

Hi, Anyone using a 2018 Mac Mini for music production and Ableton? Previously, I had an '11 iMac and it was solid for years. Due to that, I decided to stick with Mac and just recently bought a brand new Mac Mini i7. 16gb ram and 256 internal SSD. I also purchased another SSD to keep my sample librar...

Hi, When I try to load up some pre-made drum kit (.alp) files, it fails to load the samples into the drum rack. All the samples are there in the folder. Do I need to manually drag the files to the rack? This hasn't happened with other racks I've purchased or with the stock ones. Any advice would be ...

Hi - I recently bought a few drumkit packs made by Raw Cutz. Really good stuff. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other third party companies putting drumrack packs out. I'm mainly interested in oldschool hip hop, breaks, and downtempo type sounds. Thanks!

OP - You might want to take EasyWorkflow up on his offer. If not, go for the Deadmau5 course. I used to have no problem cranking out tracks, but over the past few years, seem to have lost the motivation to finish anything, so I guess I'm sort of in the same position as you. Everything I've heard abo...

Hi, awhile back I purchased a couple drumrack kits from Loopmasters. Really top notch stuff. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other companies that are producing this type of material. I'm mainly interested tech or trance. Thanks!
