Re: Ableton! Will Live 9 be released before year 2015?

Mere semantics. having freedom of speech means exactly that if you think it's wrong maybe your on the wrong road to truth pal, mind you logic and truth have never been directly compatible as experience and the expression of experience are two different things if you wish to get into a philosophical...

Re: looper and uses of

Lower the feedback parameter. At 100% recorded material will be the same volume every time it repeats, at 50% the material will be half as loud each time it repeats. So, if you set Looper up to record one bar and then play a 4 bar melody into it with 50% feedback you'll end up with 4 bars of output ...

Re: Apple $29 Thunderbolt > FireWire adapter lives!

Well, it works. Just tried the adapter with my Duet (v1) and it installed flawlessly and is working without a hitch so far. It isn't particularly stable at low latencies (anything below a 200 sample rate tends to get glitchy) but that may be the case even if the machine has a true Firewire port -- I...

It has less than Firewire but still double that of USB 3.

Re: Recommend audio midi interface for new macbook pro (retina)

Yeah, the adapter was just released a couple of days ago. Not heard of anyone who's tried it with an audio interface yet though. It's also worth noting that Apple's adapter is FW800 not 400, which is a pain since most audio interfaces have 400.

What could go wrong?
Yikes, yeah. I'm not holding my breath for my Apogee Duet to work properly. Will give it a go though.

Re: Portable Battery-Powered Busking PA Suggestions?

A lot of those little battery powered guitar amps have aux inputs that bypass the amp modelling for playing backing tracks, etc. Can't be beaten for portability, I'm sure.

Re: Live 9 Speculation?

for fucks sake, no. :roll: should there be an apostrophe on "fucks"? I assume that this phrase is a secular variation on "oh, for god's sake", which suggests it should be "oh, for fuck's sake", with fuck replacing god (as it has done for so many lapsed Catholics). But ...

Re: Sampled analogue warmth vs the real thing?

The main thing that can't be done digitally yet is distortion or saturation Agreed 100%. Next thing I want Urs Heckmann to work on is a distortion/overdrive plug - I think he could nail it. Yeah, that'd be great. His Uhbik bundle contains Runciter, which does distortion but it isn't even vaguely an...

Re: Sampled analogue warmth vs the real thing?

The main thing that can't be done digitally yet is distortion or saturation. Everything else is getting pretty close. I've heard good emulations of clean analog filters but not overdriven filters.
