I'm sure there are some other obscure quirky percussion instruments going on in the back ground off marley tracks. Just don't know what they are.

What about steel drums, where do they fit into the picture? Are they a sort of honourary member of the jamaica reggae outfit?

I'm trying to piece together a list of all the various acoustic drums and percussion used in Reggae. Here's what I've got so far - Drumkit Timbales Cowbell Woodblock Guiro Vibraslap Hit scrape Cabassa Shakers Tamborine What else is there used? I'm sure there are some more pieces I missed or don't kn...

I'm trying to achieve a realistic bass guitar sound using samples. For one I want the bass to sound like a real bass guitar but also to have a nice smooth rounded feel. I currently use Trilogy, which is great but I think with some extra processing it could make into a nicer sound. Here's a track wit...

Any one got any tips for rounding out a bass guitar sound. I still want the sound resembling a bass guitar and to be really smooth also, not to be gritty in the slightest. I know of compression and adding a sine wave an octave lower. What else can be done to make it really full, round and great sou...

Thanks for the info.

Just wondering peoples thoughts on Live 7's dither options. Do you use Live 7 to dither your productions or another program? Anyone tested the quality of Live 7's dithering in relation to other programs?

Looking especially for a UK based one as I'm moving there soon, but interested in all.

When you want to sum you files to mono in Live what's the best way to go about it? Do you simply throw the utility device on the various channels you want summed and then bounce the whole mix out? I wonder if there is any loss of quality using utility this way. Or do you render each track one by one...

I have 2 gig of ram. For the most part it is rock solid, but perhaps on some projects it's occasionally a bit jittery. It's strange, yesterday I was working a project with less tracks and devices than today and I was getting the occasional jitter, but today it seems perfect. Perhaps I should just ac...

Hmmm.... I heard some of sunlights other stuff and each song sounds a little different in terms which category they fall into. They seem to be a bit of fusion, some have dub elements some are like downtempo nu jazz, some are a little soulish and some seem chillout a al cafe del mar style. Couldn't r...

My understanding was the more RAM allows to have a larger amount of programs running at the same time or for the case of ableton more VSTs. What about devices in Ableton? Recently I've been noticing Live struggle a bit when it is only showing about 10 - 15% cpu usage, whilst only having perhaps one ...

Where's the link to the song?

I'd like to create a template mapping macro set for an instance sampler, with various parameters mapped. Then 'slice to new midi track' a beat or other audio source into a sampler. Now I want to get these newly sliced samples into my template macro version of sampler. Is there a way of doing this qu...
