Also, as I understand it, the TR8 is it's own audio interface via USB, which also includes 2 inputs on the back that should be plenty for your minibrute. Couldn't you just use that?

So the Apollo Twin Duo has two combo jacks on the back and a line instrument in on the front. However, as an interface in can carry up to 10 simultaneous discreet sinals. This is done through the optical connection on the back. So, while you only have 2 (maybe three?) traditional physical inputs, if...

Hi. I'm also using an Mk1 ReMOTE 61 SL and I'm actually trying to use it as a basic midi controller (without automap) because I want to map the controls across different devices within live. I'm pretty sure this is possible but I'm not sure how. The basic idea is that I want to use it to control Rea...

Thanks MW!

More and more I'm feeling this piece of gear is going to be mine soon. Very soon.

Glad I searched this before writing a new post. I'm looking at picking one of these up and I have a question or two -- I think I just may not understand the system. When using sequencer one or two for MIDI via USB, do the knobs for pitch/velocity/gate still correspond or is that purely for the CV ou...

PM me if you have any troubles with this.

A_J_W is right -- it is fairly simple, although if you're trying to record multiple independent tracks simultaneously it's a bit more complicated, but only a bit. Typically, in Reason standalone, everything is bussed to a mixer. What you want to do is take the last output in the chain of each indivi...

Wow, this is all great. Thanks! I played around with Ozone on one of my recent tracks last night. Just playing really -- experimenting with really heavy handed settings to get a feel for what each component was doing, and then deleting them all -- not because they weren't working, but because I wasn...

Thanks for the reply! That's a good call on A-B-ing my tracks with pro tracks. Also a popular one here recently. I will do.

Hi folks. I am getting a copy of iZotope Ozone 5, and it has come highly recommended for mastering my tracks. Thing is, I have little to no experience with mastering. I have always just tried to get the sound right in the mix, and exported the audio from there. Needless to say I have never won any L...

Make sure your vsts are in a dedicated plugin folder (either system or custom). Go to Live > Preferences > File Folder and at the bottom select whether you are using the plugin system folder or a custom folder. Then hit the rescan plugins. Your vsts should appear in your vst folder. Hope this helps.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 and they are amazing, but I agree that they color the bass some -- they really make anything you listen to sound amazing so it's hard to use them as a replacement for monitors. I have a similar situation to you in my home -- live with my family in a smallish apartm...

If you move the velocity sticks per note in the midi editor, you might lose the tone you like that is only triggered by the higher velocity. Another possibility is changing the velocity range at which that specific tone is triggered, or, though it's time consuming unless you're working with a loop, ...

I use Reason 7 with Live 9, and it works great. It is a little bit of a process to set up the channel but not much and it didn't take me long to be able to do it very quickly. A template using external instrument devices isn't a bad idea, especially just to get started. I have found that ReWire is a...

I'd stick with the OS you know. And if dropping $3000 is an option, go with a certified refurbished MBP for $2000 and spend the other $1000 on software or hardware. You'll get a monster machine that is as good as new, and a bunch of new toys to go with it. I use Live 9.1.6 and Reason 7, and I just g...
