Re: Help! Nearly all Ableton's native effects causing clipping!?

It may seem counter-intuitive but applying a low cut will frequently raise output volume, depending on the input source, and the steeper the slope the more the volume can be affected. This is not down to Ableton's Filter/EQ, try another non-linear phase EQ or filter on the same source and you will s...

Re: AU vs VST...discovery?

The clicking you mention, I get that too and it is a pain in the arse. Clicks from stopping playback using the transport rather than stopping all clips, right? I was pondering a dabble with VST over AU again actually, triggered by reading the Analog Industries blog and hearing him trash AU funnily o...

Re: Recommend some new soft synths?

I absolutely do not need another VI but Aalto just has something special about it. v1.2 is on the horizon too. YUM 8)

Re: which monitors would you choose

Genelec 8030 or maybe 8020 if they are more suitable Sorry to be a bit spammy - if you decide the 8020 is good for you I have a mint boxed pair of 8020a I am just about to put up for sale and I'm in the west end of Glasgow so that may be convenient! If you were to pick them up I'd ask £280 for the ...

Re: reverb suggestions

I love Live's reverb for making things sound plastic and unreal.. but for a bit of small space ambience/glue or more realistic room verbs I love the new ValhallaRoom, it sounds pretty much on a par with what i've heard from the Lexicon PCM in this respect imho, and avoids the need for an iLok. Barga...

Re: Need another audio interfacer for mixing only.. Quality???

I agree with the low budget for playback plan. I'll throw this out there anyway because I have one, love it, the price was right, its even cheaper now, and you might be able to find other uses for it... http://www.tcelectronic.com/desktopkonnekt6.asp Seconded - it got a bad name initially as the dr...

Re: new laptop is lagging behind 4-year old desktop....why?

Me too! I know there are desktop and laptop variants of the i7 but for what it's worth my friend has an i7 iMac and it is more than 3x faster in the performance test than my 2.8Ghz Core2 iMac. What about some kind of throttling/underclocking on the CPU in the laptop? This type of stuff is quite comm...

Re: new laptop is lagging behind 4-year old desktop....why?

Strange.. might be worthwhile running the Live Performance test that is posted (somewhere) on this forum and comparing their performance using that set? Some strange USB compatibility issue aside, the only reasonable factor would be if you were maxing out the I/O of the drive in your laptop, which i...

Re: Drum racks style note naming?

Use an Instrument Rack, create a chain for each key you are gonna use to trigger the effects and right click in the chain area to enable the option 'Show Names in MIDI Editor' ?
