Re: TOUCHABLE 2 - First teaser video

Hi guys, I don’t have an iPad so have never tried Touch OSC, Touchable or the Lemur app... Having watched this video, it does seem to offer so much hands on control, so I’m very tempted to get one! Before I consider this further, could you help me out with understanding which app / if any app can d...

Re: Ableton vs Logic engine

The engine for rendered sound is (as good as) the same.

Some people have mentioned that playback isn't as good as Logic's, hence why so many people go on about it.

Not sure if this is true, but it seemed to make sense to me.

Also, as someone said, Logic's FX are better.

Re: Quneo or Kontrol F1?

I have the Quneo as it fits my uses more appropriately than the Kontrol. I wouldn't say it's of a weaker build quality than the Kontrol... but it is definitely a different KIND of build quality. It's so small and thin and light that it's hard to imagine anything happening to it, kind of like how it...

Re: Quneo or Kontrol F1?

The f1 is definitely better as a clip launcher than drum pad. It definitely can be used as a drum pad but its not velocity sensitive and the pads are a bit stiff and have a click when u push them. I'm not sure if this exists but if I wanted to use my f1 w/ Ableton Live I would like to have the red-...

Re: Quneo or Kontrol F1?

As far as hard-ware is concerned, I say go for the F1. You won't be disappointed. If you get the Quneo there's a good chance you will be. Plus, the F1's just came down in price. Quneo build quality not all that? Re the price drop - do you think a Mk2 is on the way like the new X1? N.I. price drop s...

Quneo or Kontrol F1?

Hi guys, Looking to gauge opinion on which to purchase as I don't have a chance to actually use either of these to help make up my mind. Purpose - to use in DJ sets in conjunction with the club mixer or my Z1, which takes care of cross fader, EQ and Filters. The F1 or Quneo will be for launching cli...

Re: Native Instruments Kontrol F1 to control Live?

OK scratch that - I have EQ and cross fade sorted on my Z1, for clip launching and FX and I'm weighing up the Behringer CMD LC-1 http://www.uniquesquared.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_4709-1024x682.jpg vs the Keith McMillen Quneo http://evolver.fm/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/quneo.jpg The C...

Native Instruments Kontrol F1 to control Live?

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out if I can use the N.I. Kontrol F1 to use in my DJ sets using live. I know it can be midi mapped, but specifically, I'm looking to know if it can be mapped to navigate the set with LED feedback. Assume 4 channel of clips and mapping the encoder to navigate - will the ...

Re: Sidechain everything? Why/why not?

Kick and sub are the only elements that I 'hard' sidechain.

I sidechain tonnes of sounds together though, but using subtle compression settings. Therefore the track never looses it's character and lots of elements can interact together, without being a totally muddy mess.

Re: Traktor kontrol z1

Considering buying a Z1 and use in conjunction with my launchpad to create a very compact live setup (would replace a much bulkier APC40 + Soundcard setup). Have there been any confirmation fro you guys that: a) The midi is definitely mappable to Live (saw a few issue reported)? b) The soundcard qua...

Re: Urgent quick question! connecting soundcard to venue system

Hey dude, thanks for the reply. My question was about the connections to the DJ mixer - my outs on the soundcard are two TRS (L&R) and because the other end had 2 RCA I was confused as to whether it would be ok to just plug in one of these (say, the left) and the same for the right channel - ie....
