What Khazul said re. Redline and Toraverb, really.

Haven't tried either RP or Aether, because I can get everything I want from those two (the former more for putting a sound in a space, the latter for more of an affected/sculpted/messed-with sound (although it does subtle well, too).

But I love ...

As a hardworking new dad, the only time I have that might be described as 'spare' to do music stuff is sat on trains for several hours a week.

In Live I mostly work (on hip-hop beats, mostly) with samples and loops (my own from vinyl and purchased), and BFD for non-sampled drums, with the odd soft ...

can you set up a new slicing preset with each device in the rack as samplers?

Having been where you are not long ago (and being not very far away now), the guy that said wait and figure out what really suits you was spot on.

At your stage I had a bonus cheque burning a hole in my pocket, and bought a load of software and some hardware cos it all looked good.

It all was, but ...

haven't used others cited here, but I'd second Syntorus, which is brill.

Most things I want are on the big list. Some to emphasise, some to add:

All work in their standalone ...

The thought of people digitising and getting rid of their records makes me sad. It is not something I could do myself.

If the tools ...

Many thanks for the replies so far.

Anyone used this:

Seems to have all the inputs I'll ever need (and maybe more) but not that ultra-cheap and online reviews aren't exactly unequivocal, so not sure about ...

This has been asked before, I'm sure, but I'm (a) new here; and (b) too lazy to trawl through the whole forum. Sorry. Anyway...

I was very fond of my old emagic A62m USB soundcard. But I've upgraded my laptop for Live-ing purposes and it won't work with Vista. I don't want to mess around ...
