CAD M179. $139 brand new. Fairly clean mic - it's not a mic that will try to flatter your source, what goes in (for the most part) comes back out. And it's got a very useful variable pattern, which could be important - hopefully you have a decent environment for recording, because a condenser in nor...

Website says that there should be lessons in Live for session drums, but I don't seem to have them. Thought I look at them at least if they were there. Anyone else have them?

Thanks pasha! The drums do sound good, though it does sound like a drum machine (little variation in the snare). Perfect for the style though. I am already finding that there is a lot of variation in what has been sampled per drum kit. For example, most drum kits have all of Mid, Edge, Bell for the ...

Just got the ocean way drums/drum masters group buy, and it's excellent. But it's also had me looking back at session drums, since I've never really gotten the most out of it, to see what it can do. The main problem is that there just isn't much documentation for session drums. Too bad, because a lo...

usually, pedal is mapped to pedal close (note on). If you have a pedal controller, it should be mapped to CC4, then play your open hh trigger and it should vary from open to close. Dunno what you are using, but session drums has this for sure. If you really want the pedal to trigger an OPEN hh, then...

dunno if you can do that, but if you don't mind using separate tracks for hihat vs. snare (for instance), you could use the fold feature... the drum racks use something like that. It hides the unused notes and gives the other notes names, but they appear to stay in order.

I thought Live could do it. And it sort of does, but it slices it to a multisample like the hi-hats, not multiple samples. Oh well.

To make for a smoother transition I need to move the open hi-hat's most closed hits and use them to replace the closed hi-hat's most open hits. So you just want to take the default closed/open hihat programs, and modify them a little bit. That's what I was looking for. at least it's just editing th...

slirak wrote: Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant that you would risk loosing sync between the individual notes' vibrato if you sample the notes with the organ's vibrato on. (As the op suggested.)

good point. hadn't thought about that - thanks for the clarification!

can you be more specific about what you want to do? Sounds like you want to use the pedal-up samples from one hi-hat, and the pedal-down samples from the other, something like that? Can't think of a general-purpose way to do what you recommend, but if the above is what you want, just put them both i...

don't see why you can't do the same thing with an LFO. Map it to pitch, either automate or midi map it. edit: Now I see what you are complaining about. Yes, if the LFOs are set to retrigger, then you'll have your problem. But you can set the LFOs to free-running, and then they will all vibrate toget...

Was thinking about how to implement an xox-style hardware interface using, say, a keyboard or the novation launchpad or something. Is there a way to tie a hw button (midi note on/off, or whatever) so that it will toggle a note at, say, beat 5 of a 16 step grid? Then you could map a row of buttons to...

just getting into sampler, but you should be able to do this with layering. Put each tab's settings into one of the four layers. Set the macro controls to control the volumes of each of the four layers. I believe there are ways to choose from multiple samples within a layer using a macro; i have see...

There's another way that is a little more automatic... sort by file type. Then you still see the asd files, but they're grouped together, and your wave files are grouped together, so you can ignore them easier.

I'm having the same problem. Perhaps ASIO4ALL doesn't work with MS GS Wavetable Synth as output. I'm looking on the web for a replacement. the Wavetable Synth is a midi device. It has no audio support, so that might be why it doesn't work. You should have a different device for audio. Unless I'm mi...
