Bugger...have just watched some APC40 videos and I'm sold. It's more than I was planning on spending, but I suppose I might as well put the extra to and get the best. Thanks for all the advice, can't wait to get my hands on this and get to work

Damn, you guys in the states have it good. Sadly, £349 is the cheapest I can find the APC40 over here in the UK, with the Launchpad coming in at only £149. If I could get it for $225 (about £155) then I certainly would, but with shipping and import taxes it would make it unaffordable. Realistically ...

You can do better imo.

Nice one, thanks to everyone for the advice...I'll at least get the Launchpad for now, and then look into a second controller properly.

Thanks guys...I was thinking a Launchpad with something would be a good solution. Quite liking the look of the M-Audio X Session Pro to give me a few faders/knobs. So no advantage to the APC20 then? Looks like my minds made up now

I have been looking into the controllers, to be used for DJing with Live, and was wondering what other peoples experience is with both controllers. The Launchpad looks fantastic, but will I miss having the faders and knobs to hand? Before anybody suggests the APC40, it's out of my budget, hence cons...

Both FroBot and Ryan have two of the best Ableton Live blogs around. Thanks to both of you

Prodigy are now Ableton Live users I believe.

CamelPhat is my choice of filter...it's exceptional and nothing compares to it. I tend to use Live's built in delays now...as for synths, Sylenth1 is my go to synth. After that I use a combination of Operator, Z3ta+, FabFilter Twin, G Force Minimonsta, ZebraCM and a few others.

Hi Tim. Good seperation and clear sounding. I would be on the dance floor for sure. I like the way the vocal came in on the off beat @3:45. What's missing is some sort of lead hook IMO and lots of room for different elements. Typical house 4x4 is usually a foot stomper. As always, thanks for sharin...

No comments? It's on SoundCloud so you don't have to download it to listen

Are you talking about layering 4 different kick drums? If so, that can be done with the drum racks.

New track, following on from The Revival. "I Want Everything" is a funky tech-house track that came about from me messing about with Corpus for the first time and I immediately came up with a short loop I liked and then took it from there. Would love to hear your thoughts. http://bit.ly/9k...

Thanks for the feedback. Am not sure which 80s you grew up in though...late 90s/early 00s perhaps. Either way, it's all good, much appreciated guys

It's been a while since I've been on here, but have been mad busy lately. Will post links to a few more tracks over the next few weeks, including my new one that's due out on Reversoul Music in the next week or so. But anyway, here's something I finished today. Bit commercial, I know, and will never...
