I've never understood the amount of disdain towards dongles. Inconvienient yes, but definitely not a deterrent to buy a product. With the amount of piracy and acceptable theft that goes on in the software world, I'm surprised companies haven't made it MORE of a pain to get register and authorize ...

$99.99 to mix like a pro and have tracks polished and ready for release immediately?!?!?! I'm in :lol: I think this is geared more towards the Garageband crowd.

Don't know all the background, but it's obvious from reading a bit of it that warez/cracks have played a part in this decision.

Looks like Lucifer will live on, hopefully.

I really despise people who steal music software. I just got into an ...

I do software development for a living and the last thing I'd want to do is go home and code songs. I've had a few friends tell me how uber powerful it is and it blows everything else away, but at the end of the day it's not what you use but what you create. For me, I love working in Logic w/Live ...

I have to admit that sometimes I'm not as patient as I should be in synth sounds design, and that if I were I could get better results with the tools I have rather than get new ones. For instance, I like Dimension Pro but I do tend to use among the thousands of presets that come with it rather ...

Re: A question for all you mac users...

Why do mac users away babble on about their beloved macs? There's a lad at work here who never fucking shuts up about them. I mean really, what's so great about them? "They look better" - no they don't, they look like a throwback from the 80's; "They perform better" - no they don't, on a pound-by ...

If you're looking for basic filtering, the Camelphat can be great and I use it quite often for some nice resonating filters (here's a lowfi example of the camelphat filter on a track I did: http://www.djstevechristian.com/music/Bible_Sessions.m3u). But, if you're looking for filtering w/all the ...

Never use Live's reverb. If I'm in Live I use "Zrev" from Urs and in Logic I use SpaceDesigner.

Heard a recording of Redhead from somewhere in Germany a few years ago and he started right off with a track by Kobbe called "Chromosphere".

Never used their synths but I recently bought Volcano and Timeless. Disgusting plugins and I don't see myself ever needing a filter or delay ever again.

Go buy Zebra2. That is a synth tweaker's marilyn monroe. Beautiful plugin and can sound like every other synth and no other synth you've ever ...

To each their own and you should compose with whatever you feel comfortable composing with. For me though, I like Ableton and use it as a rewire into Logic. The problem is that I never got that "play" the keyboard and jam to my tunes vibe with it. I always found myself doing less musical composition ...
