Re: Looking to add a reel to reel, no idea where to start.

Yeah, like I said I looking to use it as an effect to add colour and the all elusive "tape saturation". Not looking to store projects on tape nor would I need a 24 track, 2 inch tape tracking beast like the Studer A827. Thanks for all the feedback and insight though, think I have a good id...

Re: Looking to add a reel to reel, no idea where to start.

Actually have Satin, was only $125 and the results I'm getting from it are more than I could have asked for. That's part of the reason why I'm interested in getting an actual one to see what more I can do with it. From the sounds of it though, maybe I should just stick with the emulator and keep pus...

Looking to add a reel to reel, no idea where to start.

Looking to add a tape machine to the old studio. Not looking to multi-track record to it per se, but maybe run a few tracks through it, and maybe the final mixdown as well. Are there some decent "budget/home studio" models I should look at, or maybe certain brands to be on the look out for...

Re: Integrating Patchbay into Home Studio with Ableton ay my DAW

Thanks for the responses guys, going to start looking into the RME interfaces and see where that takes me. Thinking about it more, would I really need a patchbay? All I really want to do is to have all the external gear (hard synths, drum machines, FX units and so on) actually be 'hard wired' so I d...

Integrating Patchbay into Home Studio with Ableton ay my DAW

So I've been getting more into picking up external FX units and Synths/Drum machines and want to find an easy way to integrate them into my studio setup. I'm assuming getting a patchbay would make the most sense. What kind of interface would I be needing to get, or are there other alternative option...

Ableton acting up (Beach ball of death when freezing & more)

Ableton has been really good to me the past two years, besides the occasional crash. But last night when I would try to freeze a track it would get to 50% and then take an hour or more to finish, and then when ever I tried to save it would give me the spinning beach ball of death. So I would force q...

Re: Integrating TC Helicon Voicelive Touch into Studio setup

Bump? Anyone? I'm guessing it would be the same as any other external gear you're trying to use as an inset FX? Unfortunately I don't have anything else to test it out on

Integrating TC Helicon Voicelive Touch into Studio setup

SO I scooped up a Voicelive Touch because I was able to get a new one on the cheap ($100), plus it's just freaking cool to have and use. But I'm having issues figuring out how to route it into my DAW. Basically I want to be able to use it as an insert FX on a channel. I'm able to get the audio to it...

Schwarzonator M4L patch, Chord set not showing up?

So I've had the Schwarzonator patch for a minute now, and am a bit fan of it. But today, for some reason the chord set list isn't showing up. All my other M4L patches are working fine still, so I have no idea what's going on as I've never programmed a patch before.

Any help is appreciated!

Arturia Moog Modular Sequencer

Does anyone know of any good tutorials (text or video) on this bad boy works? Getting the hang of being able to route stuff and make it do what I want, but the sequencer just isn't making any sense to me. Never really worked with any sequencers before so this is a bit of learning curve for me at the...

Re: Question about consolidating audio clips

When you consolidate clips, Live renders out the new clip with your default sample and bit rate settings from preferences. If your preferences are set to a lower rate than the original clips then you will be loosing quality. Have a read of Chapter 31 of the Live manual, specifically the section rel...

Re: Question about consolidating audio clips

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I use all the time when it comes to arranging, but I just started working with a mate recently and he swears that it ruins the audio quality.

Question about consolidating audio clips

Do you lose any audio quality when consolidating audio clips? For example, I have a two bar loop that I cut up and edit to make it fit and groove the way I want to, but then I consolidate it back into a two bar clip so it's easier to manage. But am I losing any audio quality by doing that instead of...
