welcome to the board jacksinms and herve.

thanks smutek, I'm in an Air Force dorm which is pretty small so everything is stacked on something else.

Hervé, what controllers are you using?

Hello, I use an Oxygen 8 With all the keys assigned to different scenes, the 8 knobs on it are assigned to 8 fx sends in Live, and the slider is assigned to the crossfade. A Mackie 1202 to bounce hardware synths controlled by Live and a Korg electribe Er-1 that i trigger in real time.

Hey -

For the first bit of that, I was thinking, 'hmm, is this going to be wanky trance music?'... then the beat kicked in. She started singing (she good under all those effects? hard to tell). Then the beat changed... and I could never guess what you was gonna do next. Nice one!

Thanks

Hiphop mostly. Sometimes house of the Moodymann/Theo Parrish variety.

It's true what I said about only ever really using the MPC though. I should really get rid of half the stuff I've got and get a smaller Mackie. I'm considering losing the G4, Logic Pro and the Unitor 8, and just running Live and Peak on my Powerbook, with midi from the 828.

I've found that the less I use, the more good stuff I make. I've been running the MPC straight to stereo lately, with just a touch of overall compression from the compounder. For hiphop it's all I need.

I agree with that, but I find the best thing is to use less but different things each time - so one day I might use one thing and not much else,next day a different thing and not much else

so in other words - keep it all!!
