Re: The Skrillex Bass Sound Reproduction - Mini Series

Haha "short"? It's like 50 minutes...but GREAT job. I actually watched all of it, not so much because I want to recreate Skrillex, but because I always enjoy seeing how other people approach things. The parallel compression stuff was interesting.

Re: Pc ?

The i7 2600k is an AWESOME CPU. Make sure you couple that thing with an SSD for the boot drive...unbelievable speeds when loading Live, instruments, etc. Also the stock CPU cooler is lousy, I would recommend an aftermarket one.

Re: mac or pc

Lots of good points in this thread! I dunno...I just built my computer last Tuesday and it was a lot of fun. Kind of cool seeing the UPS truck drive up with two huge boxes from Newegg. Been building music computers for myself for at least 13 years. I've made a living off of music for as long, too, a...

Re: mac or pc

I am kind of almost asking the same question, but as someone else has already mentioned, a similar spec decent PC will cost the same if not more. . In a laptop, yes. In a desktop, it's no contest when it comes to price. If I had wanted a laptop, I would have bought a new MBP without a thought - the...

Re: mac or pc

Could pretty much buy anything I wanted but last week I built a new i7 Sandy Bridge tower to run Live 8.2.2 (among other things). I have owned at least a dozen Macs and just as many PCs. I do not have problems running Ableton under Win 7-64 or XP, which is what I was using til last week. I also have...

Re: LIVE 8 PERFORMANCE TEST - Results Here

Something wrong there - even allowing for the 256 sample buffer. I would have expected it to be much faster as even my 2011 Macbook pro manages 14% with all the NI and RME audio interfaces I have tried it with and my old 4GHz i7 PC manages 12% with the same RME and NI audio interfaces. Maybe the au...
