Understandably you'd need to have multiple settings to cover the range of stuff the algorithmic verb is going to do, but that could simplify your life if you want to just run with one. Yes, they can and they actually do! In Altiverb there's even a category for "Gear," which emulates an amount of hardware, as well. The only downside is the CPU-usage and flexibility.

Well i havent posted anything here for a while I'm doing a project for school that involves making an album of sorts, so basically that means I have several hours a day to make music. I've finished a couple of songs, but this one i'm really proud of. It's a remix of Lady Gaga - Just Dance the way its shaped I think I'm gonna use it to end my dj sets tell me what you think of it http://tindeck.com/listen/czhu edit - i feel like the bass drum needs to be more prominent but i dunno Altoidss fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Apr 24, 2009 |

What's the easiest way to see what MIDI data a plugin is sending? Is there a plugin that will do this?

Altoidss posted:Well i havent posted anything here for a while as im listening: the intro kinda drags and is pretty annoying, but if you djing that wont matter to much, the intro synth riff sounds pretty random. when the voice stutters for the drop its way mechanical and not very musical. the song is very repetive and really goes nowhere. but not bad, just critiquing. afterwards: let me say that i hate this song and it pretty much makes me sick when a dj drops this, but i thought id give your remix a try. its not bad, BUT i think the main part of this song is her stupid lyrics so stupid drunk girls can sing with it. you totally missed that. it also has the most stereotypical cheesy remix sound to it, like a b side remix or something, but that isnt a bad thing, cause that poo poo sells and i think a set can benefit from cheese once in a while. basically, i think if you put the lyrics back in there in their original arrangement it would help alot, since thats why people like this song, not because of its musical content. your on the way to a pretty decent remix, so keep on keepin on.

In most cases you should be able to just record a bunch of control movements into a blank MIDI track and examine the contents. You might be able to use MIDI monitor (possibly in combination with Hubi's MIDI Loopback) to capture the data being sent by a plugin. I'm not too familiar with the internals of the VST specification, but I'm not too sure that all plugins are necessarily sending "MIDI data" (CC messages and soforth) unless they are specifically coded to do so. h_double fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Apr 24, 2009 |

In most cases you should be able to just record a bunch of control movements into a blank MIDI track and examine the contents. The plugin is BlueCat Audio's FreqAnalyst Pro, which is analyzing the frequency of incoming audio and sending out MIDI data based on that. I'm trying to tweak it but it's difficult without seeing exactly what numbers it's spitting out. I hadn't thought of just recording it to a MIDI track  so I will try that. Thanks for the plugin suggestions as well.

second best sponge posted:Really stupid noob question: 1. Create an Operator track with a simple MIDI clip that triggers the kick drum patch. 2. Create a blank audio track. Set its "Audio From" to the Operator track. Record enable this new track and record the kick drum clip from track 1. 3. Create a third track with Impulse. Drag the audio clip from track 2 onto one of the Impulse pads.

I had an idea that if you maybe just used to hook, or cut up the verses just SOMETHING where you weren't playing the whole song over this other song. The backing track is way tight, but it is thin and needs that something the vox give it. But I think you really need to come at it again.

ManoliIsFat posted:That acapella has been used SOOOOOOOO much, that I think you gotta come fresher with this. Its a weird one, and people always cut some phrases short to make the next line fall on the beat. You got some real obvious cuts that I think detract from the track. Huh didn't know it was overused, but it is mainly just a placeholder, I have a lot of trouble structuring my songs so I like to throw an acapella to help me during the early stages, then later when its coming together finally, take off the acapella and ideally find someone to do some vox or otherwise polish it as an instrumental. But yeah you're right, the backing is thin without the vox :/ I think I'm just god-awful at melodies. Appreciate the feedback though

Hey quick question on it. Been DJing for a few years, and planning to at least attempt a crossover into Producing. I'm trying to decide between Ableton Suite 8 and Logic Studio. Should I jump into those programs right away or get maybe Logic Express? I have a huge discount on Logic Studio ($300) available to me through my relative who works at Apple and was thinking of jumping on that since its a really good price for a relatively expensive piece of software.

The advantage of Live is that you can use it is a performance tool as well, if you're into laptop DJing. Either one's fine. Get the 14-day trial from Ableton and try it out before you buy anything. I don't know if Logic has a trial or not.

This may be real simple but I'm pretty new to this whole thing: I have a 25 key controller that I've been using with Ableton, but I have no background in playing the keys so I'm pretty bad. Right now I'm pretty much messing around in C since its only the first 8 white keys. What I was wondering is whether there was an easy way to apply any scale to these keys. For example, could I set it up so that those white keys would actually be D minor?

A lot of controllers will let you transpose by any amount you want; check the manual or mess around with it to see if you can make it happen. If not, you can find some software to do the same thing. If you play the white keys beginning on A, you have got A minor. D is a fifth down from A, so you need to transpose down a fifth or up a fourth (-7 or +5 semitones). Then D will be where the A was, and you can play a minor scale beginning there; in place of C you will have F.

SkandalousPanda posted:This may be real simple but I'm pretty new to this whole thing: You can insert a MIDI Pitch effect (one of the builtin Live effects) on the track you're playing through and shift it up/down so that the root note of the scale is different. For example if you set the pitch to +5 and pressed the C key, you'd actually hear F, and the rest of the white keys would give you an F major scale (which has the same notes as a D minor scale). The notes you record in the piano roll will still be in the key of C, though they will play back transposed. You also might have a transpose function built into your controller; check the manual.

If you use the Scale device in Live, it'll automatically adjust notes to fit the scale you select. EG, if you set Scale to C minor and you hit E, it would adjust it down a half step.

I have a USB mixer and I just purchased a M-Audio Axiom MIDI 25, and now I'm looking at the software part of this. I like the look of Ableton, my only question is if it can do things like Guitar/Bass effects - or what software I would need in conjunction with Ableton to do this. Nothing major, some Synth bass and maybe autowah effects for guitar is all I really need. Maybe some distortion and flangers/phasers, but more concerned with synth sounds.

I'm not sure i'd want to do it that way, i'm just after a quick way to get a synth in my track to audio because i've got 6 reverbs and distortion on a silly patch in massive and it's killing my cpu. Will keep that in mind though. I've hit a bit of a wall with my tracks now, think i'm trying to live up to the last one I put out and i'm not giving anything enough time to tidy up. Getting like 60% there, at the point where I need to do some cleaning and tweaking and just starting a new one instead, it's such an awful habit

I have no idea, what does freezing actually do to the track? If it records it as temp audio and uses that as a placer while still having all the midi information there so I can change it later, I need to start using it I guess. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 15:24 on May 1, 2009 |

cubicle gangster posted:I have no idea, what does freezing actually do to the track? yeah it uses the audio that 'would be' playing so none of the effects etc are live, which takes all the calculations out of reverb and whatever else. I have a poo poo cpu and use a lot of reverb so i freeze tracks often. Its not a fix-all though, my comp still crawls even with 9-10 frozen tracks.
