Re: Dubstep Tutorial Videos by Ascian

Just watched the first vid and it's pretty good. I've subscribed to your channel and i'll watch the rest of your vids later. A couple of things though. When you parallel compressed the kick you didn't really drive it very hard, i thought the whole idea of parallel compression was to drive it as hard...

Is everyone using Live nowadays?

Just bought the latest Computer Music magazine and pretty much every tutorial used Live and all the artist tutorials in the "How to make a hit" feature also all used live. I myself am a long time Logic user but i'm using Live more and more in my productions (in no small part due to the par...

Re: NI Komplete 8 is coming!

Definitely a good policy if you prefer synths. They don't update their synths much anymore, they are quite focused on sample content these days it seems. Though they have added to Reaktor recently. I just read an interview in Computer Music magazine, with one of the guys from NI. In that he says th...

A Little parallel processing trick to beef up your drums.

Hello all, Let me start by saying i did this in Logic using the "Overdrive" pluggin. I started writing a track and i used parallel compression (i assume you all know how to do this) on my drum tracks. This technique didn't quite do the trick so i added a bit of overdrive to the drum bus. I...

Re: Trouble automating Maschine in Ableton, anyone help?

Ok, i've found a solution. Live will only automate "Group" Macros inside Maschine, so i've assigned the controls to them. Cheers for the help anyway.

Re: Maschine as VST in Ableton Live (full, useful tutorial)

One question.

How do you automate with this setup? I've got an instance of Massive loaded into group 2 and i've setup the macro 1 control to the cutoff frequency. But i can't locate the control in the clip envelope editor. Anyone got any ideas?

More routing options for LFO in Operator + second LFO

Forgive me if this has been suggested before but I just downloaded the 30 trial of suite and although I really like the Operator synth I find the LFO a bit limiting. I would like to be able to assign it to as many parameters as I want, simultaneously, with maybe a separate "bipolar" amount...

Re: Maschine as VST in Ableton Live. A little help please.

I've set everything up and it seems to be working ok except for one thing. My midi keyboard (novation remote compact) won't play the separate notes of my instrument tracks. The only note it will play is the root note from the midi batch setup (in this case c3). Anyone else come across this problem a...

My first track using Live- Neuro style DnB

I usually use Logic but recently bought Live to put together a live set. After using it for a bit i found i loved it! I love the parallel effects in rack (really useful for DnB basslines) and making your arrangement on the fly is a great way of working (launchpad was invaluable)! Anyway here is my f...
