Tried it....blahhh. I was excited about it, but the interface is a mess and the sounds are boring and difficult to modify. A couple of Analogs in a rack with macros assignes and fx is much more tasty IMO.

The remote automap is great, but the mackie control offers much more contol. With Automap you can control track volumes and plugin parameters, as well as mute and record-arm, but with mackie control you also get scrubbing, solo tracks, you get a time display on the lcd, but the best part is alot of ...

Great neptunes ghost....
this is friggin awesome, i too think automap is poorly thought out, but alas I am a lowly PC user..
any idea when this will be bestowed upon windows?

I heard some mention of being able record sequences of actions and drop those sequences into lives browser, but i cant find anything like that in the beta.... anyone have any more info on this?

Thanks

I wonder if it is a good thing to have all the freqs of the bassline stereo widened, it seems to me this would leave more room for the bass in the kick. Using the highpass trick is good but then you have to eq the bassline more so it does not interfere with the kick, or use sidechain.

Thoughts?

muy interesante.....
thats a great idea, ill def. try that, thanks.

D.

What do you all think? I was listening to some electro tracks in headphones and noticed heavy stereo widening on the basslines... but isnt this a bad idea? Wont this make the bass lose its punch? And arent club sound systems mono, cancelling the effect of any stereo processing?
Im confused.

Well, I was hoping for this in L7 but no dice, so i guess I will have to stick to my old way of doing it. I record in arrange view with looping on, do my takes, then stack them up in arrange view on multiple tracks and change outputs to send only, send to a return track, and begin soling the takes, ...

Thats interesting, but why would you want all 8 bands doing the same cut? Does this mean if i only use one or a few bands some low freqs will get through the eq? And is this a defect in EQ8 or common to all EQs?
Thanks.
D.

Wow nebulae, thanks for that info. I used 3 filter bands and achieved a cut just like the 32db super-steep cut from the sonalksis eq, using 2 lowcut and 1 negative bell filter. Dont know why i never thought of that! This will save me much cpu resources on my next mix.
Many thanks

Good idea about autofilter. It is preferable IMO to stay native, I wish eq8 let you control the slope, but ill try that.
D.

Yeahh but the problem is, at least in the old EQ that when you turn up the q you get a boost in the low freq right before the slope. For surgical cutting of the low end you will have to go with an EQ that gives you control of the slope like the sonalksis eq, my favorite. It has a dedicated band to c...

Can someone tell me how to install these? I tried dropping them into my library folder, no dice....

The controller absolutely rocks. The synth is so awesome, and its so much funner to actually touch it that to fiddle with a plugin with a mouse. I do have the track armed, its just the patch cables that dont work. Everything works fine in standalone mode, just not as a plugin. Knobs and keys work gr...
