Tom
Very thorough responses thank you.
Let's say, $400 is not my limit.
I make a living in music performance, for the past 50 years now!
It's getting tougher , and smaller is easier to book, which is one powerful reason for drum machines

The other is, great drummers are very difficult to find, pay ...

I'm using Live as a very powerful drum machine.

That said: your user profile sounds much more like you want Maschine. I'm sure a used big one can be had for 300-400, while the Micro can be had new for that price.

The delivered libraries are top notch (better than anything Ableton sells) and ...

Hi,
Been a while; I have been avoiding, postponing my desire to tame a drum machine to be a useful and creative tool for live music, esp of the more 20th century variety... I am what many here would call, old school -)
I want to create a more conventional drum machine, in effect, making a “machine ...

I have searched the manual and cannot find how to use spacebar in such a way that when i stop the track I am listening to, at a mid point or at any point,
hitting spacebar does not return to bar 1? I know using Shift + Spacebar will work for this purpose. But hitting Shift is an extra keystroke I ...

I am a full time long time pro musician.. mainly interested in playing bass lines either with the new killer bass product Ableton came out with and or Trilian . I want both options.
That and the drum vst I have now. So Ableton would be my rhythm section ( an old school term) for basically bass ...

Chuckling- Yes "odd" but I am not a drummer, though I play very rhythmically- bass, keyboards.
I am speaking about very short phrases. and only with attacks like a bass or bass drum, or hi hat or ride cymbal. Hard attacks, hard transients.

I was additionally fantasizing about copping the groove ...

I am a professional musician, I need help interpreting the rhythms that already exist in the long line of existing recordings.
Eg.. a sax player plays a melodic idea or a drummer plays a beat... if I want to write down that melodic idea, how can I be sure that my interpretation of his rhythmic ...

I am looking for instruction in Ableton

Part trade part cash

Thank you

Ok, no one wants to lend a hand.
Where might I go for this kind of assistance?

because internal resolution 32 bit or 64 bit float gives insane headroom without clipping or artifacts which if you don't have knowledge on how to properly mix for an end product of 16 bit / 44.1 (CD standard) will not translate.

Ever notice that when you're playing back a track in Live and you ...

So this is ignored, becaaause:

a) I am an idiot

b) a troll

c) not a clear message

d) I am an idiot

e) I tend to repeat myself???

Come on dudes...
a) is the Roland unit the better ( Behringer ) unit for controlling Live?

b) Has anyone any experience using the Fantom G as a controller for Live ...

I have used Live ( by itself, a hassle to even reach it, while playing an acoustic piano.. and start stop or tap tempo, and change sets ) on stage as a simple drum machine and I am excited about making it a more integrated practical part of my music.

My first goal is a killer drum machine- better ...

Just spending time ( the more, the better ) with a musical instrument ( I imagine that the term "musical instrument" will be challenged ) including the voice, is a great way to get more in touch with music.

Books attempt to give concepts... and they have there place
but actually making music is ...

Older dude here

I thought the question was directed to the subject of music itself, not peripherals to it?
I saw too many references to things related to music, particularly electronic aspect.

Guys and Ladies, one must pay homage to the colossal amount of music and musicians prior to 1965, or ...
