yes, the vs can still be useful sometimes (and as mixer), but outside accurate editing of samples live4 does all alone

thx,
i will try something with some of them

the system via vhs tape looks interesting. in the past i have already used a tape for the compression of single samples (mainly beats). i will check if one of the vhs recorders i have at home offers this possibility... i'm just curious to hear the result on my tracks. the tools i use have already be...

i use an

me too. waiting for an excuse to buy golden trinity/bass max mic-and-piezo pick up from Bob Gollihur in the US. long used a polytone pick up wired thru pre-amp and then a bass stomp box (Zoom), but still takes EQ and stuff to model sound anywhere near realistic. check out his web site, read the rep...

good to know...
i have another system but it is much more complicated
thx

i can't tell you more, but as far as live recognizes the joystick as midi device it should work. you could eventually control an effect, but only one...

here you can find three tracks and two livesets of me

i also agree.
live is definitely my preferred software


but still remember when fm acclaimed the yamaha rm1x as best groove sequencer... every person i know (me included) wants to get rid of this ugly machine
