Re: CPU problem.do i need more ram/more space? ableton settings?

It's advisable to have more than 10% free space on your harddrive. You have less. A bigger harddrive and more RAM is the way to go. About that soundcard for two midi controllers, you don't need it for that because the hardware you use is connected by USB. If you don't have enough ports use a powered...

Re: MOTU Track 16- isnt it the best design to date?

Nice looking design indeed, maybe the best MOTU has come up with up until now.
Always liked MOTU, my old 828mkII never really failed on me.
But I like the design of my Apollo more and it sounds better :) Edit: better than my 828mkII

Re: wich should i get pro tools 10 or ableton live 8?

Ableton Live defenitely for production of beats, I think PT 10 is no good for that. PT10 for mixing your tracks/recordings, I think Live is no good for that. PT10 Native is nice, but it benefits greatly from having the PT10 HD(X) hardware/software combo. PT10 HD(X) is far more expensive, so go for L...

I use the Elysia Alpha Compressor and UAD-2 eq's and limiter. I personally don't like all-in-one plugins like Ozone. + 1 My thoughts.. I also do not like, "all in one, one size fits all," mastering vsti. I think that there is a great deal of confusion of what mastering really is. To me, &...

Re: any one using mac pro 8 core 2.4 ghz

I use an end 2008 8 core mac with 8 Gb ram (can't remember the cpu speeds at the moment) and I've never had any real problems running Live on it. I don't think Live ever passed ~40% of cpu/system usage, but I mostly use UAD dsp for my fx. I don't know how good Live spreads it's processing among the ...

Re: Taming mic bleed

If you can, try a bi-directional (figure 8 ) mic, it has better off-axis rejection. You may be able to point the (rejection) side more towards the offending sound source. Maybe someone you know has one you could try. Sometimes mics that have always worked just don't give you the desired recording. J...

"To minimize vote stacking, the poll is configured to only allow one vote per person per day. The poll will be available through the end of the day June 15th." This would allow 15 votes per computer until the 15th. I use quite a bit of different computers :) And my cache is cleaned everyti...

Re: A quick way to clear your hard drive of junk

It seems quite useful indeed. But I assumed it was an article about cleaning up everything unneeded, not mainly audio or ableton related files. If one uses a mac, there's also a possibilty that one uses iTunes/iPhoto/etc and non-Apple related software. Your article doesn't really go into that area. ...

Re: Dj Drop Effect How to?

You want to trigger a kickdrum at those intervals? If so, sounds like something similar to the MPC's Note Repeat.
Maybe something of use in these links?

You mean Firewire to Thunderbolt converters?
Which one, that isn't inside a current Apple Display?
