having the time of my life, dude!

thx for the ideas and info. I haven't done anything with "sends" yet...not sure where to begin with those.

seems like a joystick would be the right tool to do this with.

Lost of practice and experimentation is the only... readings will show you the road but you have to walk it... Im no expert in stereo imaging either.. just though you like the article... before that for me imaging was all about the pan... Yeah, that seems logical, until you read the article, and th...

I coudln't make any sense of that thing. I craft my own echoes now.

no worries all. my original post was cranky, anyway. Right now I'm feeling good because the first track and official "composition" is progressing satisfactorily. When I hit a wall, I'll be cranky again. There's no substitute for doing your own homework. OTOH, when someone asks a question, ...

funny about this process. I dug up an old "bass" track I made from a guitar on Audacity and it's the best one of the bunch, so far. And of course, as the bass IS after all a stringed instrument, it has the most "basslike" quality, which is what I was after. My rudimentary bass s...

currently on a pc, dreaming about a mac. a long time ago I ran the axe into Audacity and was able to, with a couple of really simple tweaks (pitch shift and bass boost) render a bottom-dwelling string sound. But I figured Live must have the most excellent such gizmos and that audacity was a fossil i...

thx warrior.

w/r/t the other guy...he probably means well. needs some fresh air, is all.

homeboy, that spoke directly, clearly, and emphatically to my question. Thank you. It's like red meat to me. The Haas Effect -- that's my home. Now then, how does a newbie start to apply this knowledge in Live? I guess I'm going to have to pull in a delay tool to my rhythm guitar track, for example?...

OK, this is pretty basic.

How can I describe this...a live set with say 6 tracks on it...everything seems to happen in your face...I gather that making music feel 3-D is about volume and fading?

Does anyone get what I'm trying to say? I need more texture in this thing.

all, great suggestions, esp. that last. I didn't subscribe to the thread, and just remembered it today 'cuz I'm going to post another question on yet another thread (stay tuned). I don't want to take the time to learn another instrument, get another amp, deal with more stuff...but I probably should ...

agreed.

How much latency does your system say? Most decent audio interfaces can get below 10ms as long as the computer is fast as well.

60ms. Right now it's not an issue...for the moment.

any ideas on an approach to making a decent sounding electric bass? NOT a synth thing, or a slappy thing. The MIDI approach, when played from a straight midi keyboard, seems to chop the notes up too much.

I haven't figured a way to use my guitar and tweak the sound so that it sounds like a bass.

I'm getting through the manual...really starting to dig this software.
