Try a kensington expert mouse pro trackball.. i configured it so that the buttons do cut, copy, paste, duplicate, switch views (session/arrangement), breakpoint editing.. really a time saver and I can't even go back to a mouse.. definitely worth the money.. and each of those buttons is configurabe f...

Hi all, I am wondering if it is smart to put music out on sites like myspace, virb, bebo, etc.. before having the songs copyrighted? The application says it takes approx 6 mos but i just wanted to put some tracks out there and see what people say... also, if i submit a song and do a revision later, ...

she volunteered for early separation.. company is cutting back so they were looking for people that wanted to get out with a incentive package.. 8 weeks of pay for every year of service in the company.. she's been there for 8 years.. so 64 weeks of salary plus all vacation.. I would have taken the s...

Thanks for the input peeps.. but 1st and foremost.. the ring is out of the question.. she's got the cash, she can buy herself.. lol. As far as if this was a test of some sort... I don't think so.. I was complaining last christmas of how much a pain it was to switch between Serato and Ableton in my m...

my girl took a voluntary separation from her work and she just got a fat paycheck.. about $80K.. she's gonna pay off some bills of and taking some time off, but most importantly, she asked what would be my dream computer? I've been telling her how slow my computer is (Mac G5 dual 2.0).. so she says,...

After talking to a bunch of you guys, I've decided to part with my Polar. Most say to keep it but honestly, I don't even come close to using it to it's true potential.. I'll tweak a presets here and there, but I don't think I have the patience to program sounds from scratch and rather focus my time ...

A friend suggested to get Kore2/Komplete 5... I've heard it's a CPU hog... Anyone have any experience on the workflow of the Kore controller.. Is it intuitive?

I was looking into selling my polar and maybe getting a soft synth that has similar sounds. I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions. I already have Reason and Ableton suite, & operator. I think Reactor would probably be over my head... I've heard people mention Zebra2. I mainly do a m...

My dilemma is that I have just finished the mixdown process of a particular song and got it sounding just right. mY goal was to bounce the master track into another Live set and do some touches with the Ozone mastering plug-in.. But the audio that is rendered from the master track sounds muffled whe...

Hi fellow abes, I have a powerbook (the latest model) with 10.5 OSX in which i have a Western digital MYBook Essential external HD by USB 2.0.. Everytime I power up the laptop, it seems like the external HD is never at rest and it's always seems like the HD is being read. the light is always flicker...

Hi all, Wondering if any one knows if you have to ask permission for the sounds the Dj would use for scratching in a song.. I am sure many of you have heard of the AAAh or FFREEEEsh sounds that are often scratched. I have loads of vinyl that were made for dj's and turntablist full of sounds but I do...

I think you have a good song but you kinda have to make it stand out more.. a song has to be memorable. get creative with your producing and mixing.. trying incorporating different production styles of music within the song.. Dj's do it all the time ( i started djing and now produce) by doing remixe...

it's definitely possible.. I really looked into it and thought about getting a macbook pro.. but decided to get a refurbished macbook core 2 duo for serato and the latest macbook for ableton.. almost the same price as one macbook pro.. it beats switching between screens between the two programs and ...

Hi all, I have Ableton 6.10 and Reason 4.0 rewire together and I always get random audio spikes in the audio channel in Live in which Reason audio is being rewired to. This was also occuring w/ reason 3.0 and thought the upgrade to 4.0 would help. These pops/click are random and it only appears in t...
