Yes A midi track is like a gun. lots of bullets (different sounds) can come from lots of guns or one gun. The difference is that a gun can only fire 1 round at a time whereas a midi track can fire 128 midi notes at once but would require 128-voice polyphony to do this. Yeah! I kinda get that IF the...

Let's say I use a Dave Smith Tetra 4 voice polyphonic synth. On one MIDI track, I recorded a 4 note chord loop, I'll use the MIDI-out feature for it so that the data would still be MIDI so that I can quantize it. Can I still use the Tetra for a 2nd MIDI track for a bass/lead or other polyphonic soun...

No built-in recycle-like slicing = major fail. Props always talk about workflow but there is no worse workflow for working with sliced material than having to open a file in recycle, slice it, export it, open reason, browse for Rex file and open it in dr. Octorex. I can't believe they finally inclu...

Bump!

I'm waiting for my nanopad on the mail. And I wanna ask a question if there's a way to map Ableton's auto-filter to the X/Y pad, that once you touch and slide your finger it will activate and control the filter, but once you release your finger, it will turn off or bypass the effects?

It's really not that difficult to give a general outline of what a sound consists of when it comes to synthesis. You may not be 100% right but you can easily pick out certain charactoristics if you're experienced. I was listening to something the other day and I said to my wife "that sound rig...

I'm not saying I can hear everything that's going on, but even through the compression you can hear how the mix is done completely to make the song groove. I did try doing a quick replication of the song's sound before posting, and that's where my explanation of the bass synth sound comes from, but...

But I don't think there's a slap bass sample on the bass. i don't know, i hear one clearly, it is layered with a synth bass, though... but definitely a slap bass sample is there in the 'background'. I see I can hear now. I just woke up when I said that. But I wanna know if we really need a sampled ...

I'll try all of that. Yeah I can sense the sidechaining too. But I don't think there's a slap bass sample on the bass.

I use both. For me, I can't really compare both, or prefer one on the other. Both of them are both beautiful beast. What I like about Cubase is that, when you map something on the quickcontrols, say the mod wheel, if you go to another track, you can still use the mod wheel again and map it on anoth...

I just noticed also that the layered synth makes the bass sound snappier.

Anymore suggestion guys? Just keep them coming.

I mean, not really imitate it, but how to make it slap like it? Do you layer it? Hmmmm... It's really catchy.

Here's the video:

It's like rats from a sinking ship.... Cubase is solid....give it a try, but reason 5 is on the horizon so you might want to consider waiting a little bit will reason 5 support VST? It's not even announced yet. But I'm 100 percent sure that Reason 5 will not have VST support. And I like it that way...

Get the Focusrite Saffire 24 Pro. It's much better than those 2. Quick and easy to install, no nonsense bs.
