Angstrom: I will try that. Do I leave all three (hi, mid, low) switches clicked? MDK: I don't understand either. My gut feeling is that the MPC200 (for example) has a huge Q range. When you filter w/ it almost sounds like it cuts all the highs above a certain frequency range as opposed to a notch/Q ...

Hi guys, Thank you for your comments. Kleine - I totally get that, it's never going to sound the same as an SP1200. In reality, I am just trying to get a filtered sample sound a la Pete Rock in the 90's. The MPC does this easily. In Ableton however, even when maxing out the Q, I can't seem to take o...

How Can I Make a SP1200 Sounding Lowpass Filter in Live 7?

Hi guys, I am an Ableton and DAW noob, so please excuse me if this a totally dumb question. I am trying to create a Lowpass filter in Live 7 that sounds like the filter on my E-Mu SP1200 or even my MPC2000. I realize it will be tough to mimic the SP (that's part of why they are still worth so much) ...

check out The Sounds of Animals Fighting - they sample Neurosis and stuff like that and layer sampled vocals, and actual guitars, singing, etc over it. Not exactly what you are looking for, but close and inspirational.

Glad to hear they got in touch - sucks it still seems weird. I think your or anyone's best bet in the music industry signed or unsigned is to do everything possible to build a name for yourself and a buzz and start developing a fanbase. Let us know when the track comes out or if you need more advice.

Since getting the Ableton Live Suite a little over a month ago, I have purchased: M-Audio - Axiom 61 Presonus Firebox I didn't buy, but I got a copy of the new M83 album Saturdays = Youth as a promo. It has a couple misses on there, but overall I likes. Just got the Firebox today, can't wait to hook...

Whoa, awesome project.

Somewhat OT:

Has anyone purchase the Eight Bit (Sid) Micro Pak from Pure Magnetik? How does it sound? Close to a real Sid sound? The samples they have on the site sound good, just wanted to see if anyone had any experience.

It is a little Justice-y
But it's also really good. Great work on all of the individual parts, I am sure when you get the final polish on this it's going to be totally killer.

Hey there, I have run labels before - so I hope I can give you some insight. There may or may not be anything wrong at all. It's unfortunate though that this persons communication skills seem to be sorely lacking. He is out of touch therefore who knows. I suggest you continue checking in via email a...

Thanks for the advice guys. As of now, I have no intention of letting the MPC go, it's been my instrument of choice for 10 years and I just can't part with it - at least not until I feel like I have Live mastered in the same way I do the MPC. I am really looking for a 49+ keys and a control surface ...

Hi guys, thanks to all who have voted. I have done a thorough search of the boards and read a ton of reviews. If folks could share their personal feelings about which one to pick or not that would be super helpful (and I am sure for other folks as well).

Thanks in advance.

Help Me Pick A Midi Key/Pad Controller - Akai/Korg/M-Audio

Hey everyone, I need your help. I am a noob to Ableton Live 7 trying to convert from the Hardware world (my primary sequencer has been an MPC2000, used w/ a Triton and an SP1200). I plan to keep my MPC2000 to use for programming w/ the MPC feel, trigger drums, etc and the SP1200 for sampling, progra...
