Re: Sustain a sound will Ableton Analog synth accomplish this?

No, as that is not what a synth is for or envelope generators (ADSR) for that matter.

To stretch an audio clip, you need to use Live's Warping features.

Re: mid side mixing/mastering from stereo tracks

Bear in mind that you will lose it all if the track is ever played mono, not necessarily the best tool for wide stereo width.

All your tracks shouldn't be peaking at the same level.

Re: How we’ve dealt with stagnant wages

Riiiiiiight. You seem to have missed the point of your argument. That yours is built on simplistic ideas that don't take into account a major variety of issues and how they all impact on each other and only focus on a handful of those to state a very basic case that is heavily flawed as a result?

Re: How we’ve dealt with stagnant wages

@sage, clearly models of healthy human beings. :roll: That is the whole point, there is no real idea about how best to raise children, a lot of it is just prejudice and propaganda. Traditionally children from rich backgrounds were sent away to be educated and those from poor families went to work, ...

Re: How we’ve dealt with stagnant wages

In addition, as women began working en masse, the responsibility of educating their offspring became increasingly delegated to third parties, be it to public or private schools, or private tutors. The family unit was thus weakened, which destabilised and corrupted society and helped the banksters p...

Re: We Won The Loudness Wars?

It will just change the definition of "loudness". Basically music is about to enter into the same problem modern films suffer from, too much dynamic range, so the loud bits are too loud and quiet sections are basically inaudible. Actually the way loudness is calculated according to ITU 17...

Re: We Won The Loudness Wars?

It will just change the definition of "loudness". Once for an album which was a collection of different artists, I sent a mastered version where only the bits that were meant to be loud were brick walled, leaving the rest of the tune with a fair bit of dynamic range, leaving the guys putti...

Re: The Great BitWig Migration

Can't see any real reason to migrate and everything it seems to do right now, I'd get just by upgrading to Live 9. But if I was a newcomer, Bitwig does come across as a bit more bang for the buck. Bitwig looks a bit too cluttered, but the idea of modular instruments and effects is very interesting t...

Re: Studio Equipment

I totally get what you're saying. I mean, I would like some hardware for my studio because I think it is much easier to compose music with hardware more-so than using software. I particularly like the Minimoog sound for bassline and synth work and would take advantage of using Ableton for MIDI use ...

Re: MacBook Pro Retina or non Retina?

Non-Retina and upgrade the RAM and hard drive afterwards. The difference in cost means you could easily do that and possibly still have change afterwards. Nothing over all wrong with the Retinas though and doubt anyone would regret buying one, but I'm not sure they are a good sign of where Apple is ...

It is incredible that people will complain about a synth or DAW not having good presets.

Re: Why Compress Drums?

Hey guys, so after a few years of use, I'd like to say I'm familiar with compressors and the whole idea of dynamics in a song, but one thing that's always confused me is, why compress drums? I understand the use of compressing an entire drum bus to keep all the different elements together dynamical...
