Ableton Forum

Yea to be honest though i would rather not go down that route
I use expensive plugins for eq/dynamics and some cheep ones
i spent a long time
finding and am happy with, that have the right sound.

Channel strips are not an option for me so i will
stick with Studio One until live or bit wig get it sorted.

Im just glad i have found something better then logic which
was getting on my tits! and it is by the way. take all of the rubbish
that slows workflow down on logic/cubase/protools/DP7 etc and
what your left with is Presonus Studio One 2.

When i started out i used octomed tracker on the amiga then cubase on the atari st
to sequence hardware synths via midi. reason 2.5 came out and i used that rewired
into logic. i did the same when ableton got good and ditched reason think it was live 4
although i had a copy of live 2 but only gained interest when midi support came in i then
realized lives full potential as a live performance tool, mental how it was only as far back
as 2004 when they introduced midi only 8 years ago for midi????

Now i have reason 5 just for kong/combinator not interested in any thing else in reason
i like the mixing desk in record/6.5 but not as much as i like my vst plugins and the sequencer
in reason is rubbish but kong rocks in a big way!!!.

I will stick to studio one with reason, and just use live for live stuff
thanks for the suggestion though. i am sure some will find that tip helpful
and it could work well! with the right channel strip of course

theophilus wrote:external VSTs can be dropped anywhere you want... this means that theoretically, if you use a channel strip plugin (like free-g, satson or slate VCC) then you could insert one into every channel and drop all those on a second monitor... voila, second monitor for mixing. might need to play with the auto-close settings in the prefs so they all stay open. and it isn't integrated into control surfaces; would have to prototype that too. anyways, while it's difficult, it is possible, in some sense. not completely though (dunno what happens if you expand a multi-chain drum rack, for instance).

really need a console plugin with a 'scribble strip'; none of them have a place to label what channel that vst is for.

because some people are pretty fucked of with the slow development of certain
daws. been using Ableton for years now i am quite used to there slow development
process for certain features in fact i have come to expect it, but i reserve my
right to use any fucking word i like to express any fucking feeling i have
toward any fucking software developer i choose.



here endith the lesson on free speech.

Fuck bigwig and ableton, for production i have found my tool...

why do some people always have to f@ck or say whatever nasty thing to a program that they don't like because they have their lovely DAW?

I mean I don't bitch on Reason or Reaper, Renoise, ModPlug Tracker and what else because I use Ableton live everyday.
Yes I love it, it really is what I need.
But other DAWS exist and are good.

Oh man

I may be off the mark here, but do you need this ?

or just use 'Edit/Edit Info Text'

Just because it's your right to say X doesn't mean that it's right to say X. Just because it is your right to say whatever you want doesn't mean that whatever you say is cool. Freedom of speech doesn't entail freedom from criticism for shit you say.

Personally, swearing doesn't offend me - faulty logic, however ...

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 debate i suggest
you look else where

Personally i couldn't give a fuck about either
A. Being Cool and B. What people think of me

i did realize that, if the plugin is wide enough, you'll get something like 'Plugin Name/3-Lead Sound' which has the channel name in there. Now, if I could just change the name to be (almost) blank, I'd have it. unforunately, the couple channel strips i have are pretty wide (free-g, for instance, I think I can fit about 8 channels of them on the screen), need to find a narrower one.

vst notes could work, but it's a hassle; edit info text is back in the ableton window, so it doesn't help.

Ban freedom of speech - vote nazi this election

As clearly a elite totalitarian government that dresses it's
self up as democracy whilst it slowly bleeds
it's population dry clearly does not go far enough

^ I'm guessing you removed the George Carlin quote because you realized that George also said (in his last standup show) that rights don't exist and are fiction made up by humans, right?

So much for your freedom of speech.

I love it when people pull the freedom of speech card when

they don't like what someone said to them.

Hilarious.

you don't have much understanding about these things..
rather not say anything..
that's freedom to stfu...

and the thread descends into vapid pseudo-intellectual politics...

fuck netbooks, use all of my 6 cores and 8 Gb of RAM.

No i agree with most of what george said all, concepts made up by humans are fiction because they are based on words not experience. I just decided it was pointless to go into it here in fact it's probably pointless going into anything
slightly intellectual here i will stick to trying to teach dogs card tricks instead

Yeah, it started in the lofty highs of gimmie live 9, and now descended to notebooks, briefly passing the Nazis on the way down.

at least dogs haven't been mentioned yet
