Here's my setup...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/johnpeelday/2005/index.shtml?rhppromo Well im a little drunk now, but ive had a great night watching some great bands and drinking some terrible wine. I was a tiny bit sceptical about the whole John Peel Day to begin with but really, loads of people were out see...

Or Martin Hannett .. the only bonified genius in this story. :) yes, yes he is. i think if any one person defined what it is to 'produce' as opposed to just 'record' then its him. certainly as regards contemporary electronic music. My hero. Apart from the massive heroin use, huge weight gain and un...

is it just traffic volume that's taking them down?

Here's a picture of Cameron Diaz using Live's new eye sensor to control filter sweeps - just by looking at the box and thinking sexy thoughts about Justin Timberlake!

Bernard Edwards.


Invented Disco, Hip-Hop and House music single handedly.


Well ok, maybe him, Nile Rodgers and Tony Thompson.

if anyone's thinking of buying from this guy but not keen on buying unsolicited, let me say that i bought some headphones and a mixer off him and they arrived today 4 or 5 days after my cheque cleared, what's more in immaculate condition and in original boxes. Obviously what i bought is just a small...

Bring yer brain. Don't stay awake overnight, drive for 6 hours and then start drinking the afternoon of the gig. When tech stuff goes wrong, which it can, you need a little wit about you to troubleshoot. When you're.. um.. emotional, there's no way you'll be able to work out why the drums are only c...

Uh huh, It was Future Music this month. Also has a DVD with Christian Kleine using Ableton with it. The Dell Inspiron 6000, it was. Though it is 900 pounds, so you could be talking a totally different market when you get up to 1500. The integrated Azalia Audio chip does look useful, but less so if y...

can't listen to your track right now cos im at work, but if you're after more bush manglings, check http://www.thesmokehammer.com/.

I've had this brand new idea for a MIDI controller...








You press the keys and they can correspond to musical notes in Live... I know it sounds wacky but i reckon it might catch on. I call it a "Keyboard"

Yes. I have the Red D for disc flashing quite often in Live 5. Don't think i ever saw it in Live 4 - I had audio dropouts here and there but never the red D. How much memory do you have? I've seen someone on here say that Live 5 uses more RAM than 4. As i only have 256MB, I reckon my hard drive is b...

I know a few people on here have been having issues with the new playhead for DJs in Live 5. How about a simple workaround? Pressing Escape after you've accidentally pressed it instead of zoom kills it? Moving clips in session view works like this, eg, if you start to drag a clip but decide you grab...
