Some of that music sounds like they are using samplers to trigger odd-time-signature and random and glitchy grooves and sounds. As opposed to being locked into a grid like Live. Maybe the Octatrack? Are you wanting to be a one-man(or woman)-band? The problem is you have 2 hands and play a 2-handed i...

It's working fine for me on my performance laptop. 2014 MBP. I am gonna switch from El Capitan to Sierra on my iMac very soon.

Soon we will see if LiveX will be the app of choice for beat making or pro arranging or for BOTH. I say both. Live has extreme competition from NI for beat making. But my guess is that Live 9 is already fully developed with very little new territory to be achieved in that department. If they develop...

login it sounds like you are confusing key with scale as if it were the same thing. What you say is true, that the different scales and modes have different flavors and feelings. It becomes even more magical when you discover that each of those scales and modes will have a different feel for each of...

I need to start documenting it. Off the top of my head: I have non time-synced warped/looped clips acting erratically (randomly changing warp modes and seq.BPM and only after numerous clickings and back and forth until I think I'm crazy, then all of a sudden it behaves right and looks right). GUI gl...

You guys had it rock solid. I stopped saving previous versions it was so good. 9.2 and 9.6 just worked flawlessly. I updated to 9.7 trusting. Warning bells should have gone off when it was "You can never go back" for any newly created sets. I am on 9.7.1 and it is not what it used to be. C...

Play the first chord. Does it feel good or just so-so? Try it another key. Any difference in how it feels? Try another and another if it doesn't feel good yet. Don't go in order downward or upward when trying different keys. Jump around randomly. Some keys just feel different depending on the chord ...

KK and S-series keyboards have so much potential and are wonderful in many ways, but I have to throw away 70% of my ideas and create workarounds. I also cannot use the track navigate buttons. When I am recording multiple tracks, track navigation will un-arm my recording tracks. Someone described the...

Rhythmically, the "bass" notes are not on the beat, but are late or after the beat or have a considerably long attack.

I think it's a great, forwardish thinking DAW.. but not having undo in the mixer is a deal breaker for me. Maybe I'm spoiled, I dunno. But I like it when I press cmd/ctrl + 'z' and it undoes whatever I just did, regardless of what or where. This. As soon as they implement mixer undo, I will move to...

Maybe try 6/8. In essence the same thing as 3/4 but might feel different with the metronome.

Yeah, most hi hat parts/rhythms are WAY too fucking loud. Make 'em almost disappear. And the snare is TOO LOUD.

Have you done this?

Maybe that was me with the 3k Macbook. I had bought a 2015 maxed-out new MBP from Apple with Sierra on it. My 2011 with Yosemite and Live 9 played Omni and Komplete at 64 samples without any dropouts or pops. The 2015, no matter what I tried could not do it. I thought it was Sierra and a last ditch ...

Don't even think about it. Make music. Be grateful for a working combo.
