Thanks for the Atom Splitter recommendation - I just downloaded it and I will let you know what I think. Thanks again to everyone for all the input!

Thanks - those are some good suggestions. I am using Suite 8 now (just upgraded) and I have been playing with the slicing feature built-in. I don't have much middle-eastern stuff on CD, so I guess I will try hitting some used CD places, although I live in an area where I probably won't find much.

I ...

Can someone recommend a sample package that includes a lot of high-quality loops of middle-eastern and ethnic beats and strings (sitar/other)? I love the sound of the darabuka and other drums, as well as the stringed instruments but haven't found a good, professional-quality package. I am working on ...

Thanks for all of the input. I actually ended up winning a Twitter contest and got a free years' subscription. I watched my first course last night and went through all the Live DJ tutorials. Although they were definitely at the beginner level, I did pick up plenty of tips. It's nice just to see ...

I was having similar issues, although it was with a native Ableton device - something like manipulating a filter, and I was using the APC40 device knobs. I kept hitting the main record button and tried to record the filter changes with MIDI overdub on, but it wouldn't work. Never recorded the ...

I am decent with Live in general, I am looking more for general production / DJ techniques used with Live.... Anyone currently a member?

I am considering subscribing to Sonic Academy (http://www.sonicacademy.com) to learn more about Live. The demo videos I have watched are quite well done, but the price is almost $100 USD per year. I watched Tom Cosm's stuff and while it's good, I think I need a little more planned-out lessons to get ...

I had some problems initially when I bought the Firebox and I was using Live 4. The audio would drop out and the blue Firewire sync light on the unit would cycle from blue to red and back to blue. (this is on a WinXP Pro machine, BTW)

I called Presonus and they were very helpful. They told me to ...

I have been playing guitar for a number of years and I am trying to (as usual) get the best distortion possible for very heavy rock and industrial music. I have a six string and a 7-string.

What is the best distortion plugin you guys use? I have been experimenting with the effects included with ...

$20 USD plus approximately $10 USD for shipping to the US....

First of all, thanks for everyone's input - this is very helpful to me.

What is the workflow process like with Melodyne? Can I use it like a sample editor, where I pull up the recorded vocal track, make corrections and resave it? Can I then move on to another track? When it says the limitation is ...

Just did a little more research and found Melodyne Uno for ~$159 USD. Anyone used this? This will be for a project studio, so I think single track processing will be fine.

I purchased Live 4 just before the v5 release, so I have a printed manual for v4. Is there a way I can order just the v5 manual? I know I have it in PDF format, but a printed manual is nice to have....
