crystal works great as a VST in Live 6 under win xp

Any software program is what you make it and how you use it - Live in the hands of an experienced user is just as good for trance as FL. Reason is another good tool and heck, I know people who solely use Cubase and get good results. If you know how to use Live you can make trance music easily if tha...

I like the music not sure if it really is dnb, sounds more like euro house/trance music sped up with some dnb influence on the beats. I prefer this to dnb anyway, so maybe my opinion is not the one to seek re: a dnb song ! Good tune man, sounds like an action movie or gaming soundtrack. It has quite...

Hey people, FOr years I've been pissing about with Cubase which is a totally sound program in many respects but is deadly boring and takes forever to get anything done, Rewiring Reason helped a bit, but I finally took the plunge and bought Live 6. I am still a total novice so be gentle, but fun with...

which platform - Mac OSX or Win XP?

Rewire in Live seems to be causing a few problems in Mac OSX, might be a 'macintel' factor, don't know.

I rewire Live 6 no probs into Cubase SX running win XP, just as Reason gives me no probs either.

Cubase actually has amazing MIDI features, it just isn't very intuitive to use... If you want to do some orchestral type stuff or Jean-Michel Jarre type synth stuff with layers of realtime MIDI playing and post editing it is a good application, just not very sexy or easy to use compared to Live ! An...

sorry should read* I would NOT want to record a country or rock album with real drummers and lots of musicians and audio tracks using Live *

Live rocks - champion it's strengths, too much change to mainstream DAW will harm Live in the long run imho. it's great just as it is...

Live's midi has come a long way but it still lacks quite a bit of what established daws offer, cubase, logic and sonar have many advanced MIDI features lacking in Live that a Mackie control will not fix. Live is what it is, it is much cooler than cubase for creative scratchpad ideas, messing with ef...

Get some good mastering plug-ins and run them in a program like Wavelab or Soundforge to get mixes sounding better. Read some good books on mixing and mastering by Bob Katz or Bobby Owswinski or similar etc. Compression/Limiting/EQ and other enhancements in mastering are what put the oomph and gloss...

Rewire was developed as a joint venture by Propellerhead (Reason) and Steinberg (Cubase/Nuendo) in actual fact.

I have to say that cubase works great with all my rewire stuff from Reason or Live.

Live 6 works great in rewire with Cubase SX3 or Reason 2.5 for me - I am running Win XP.

Win XP just has crappy MIDI timing instead !!

Voxengo Gliss EQ and Curve EQ are amazing for the money, loads of people use them at the cubase.net forum. Also PSP and Sonalksis make great eq's. Waves are an acquired taste, you either love'em or hate 'em, they certainly impact the sound for better (or for worse). I personally wouldn't spend the m...

Rewire works fine for me with Live 6 and Cubase SX 3.1.1.944 in Windows XP.

Cubase SX and Cubase 4 both have 2 arpeggiators with many varieties of arpeggiation incidentally. and various other MIDI effects such as Chorder and Autopan. Using PC means Logic is not available to me (well I'm not going back to version 5 of Logic when it was still labelled as Emagic) but I don't f...
