I am really surprised that Ableton actually runs on my netbook. It doesn't run great, but enough for me to fiddle around with. It plays really nice with the Korg nano set I have, too.

I've been listening to a lot of Moderat lately, and I love the atmosphere in their songs. I've been trying to figure out how to make something like 3 Minutes Of. How do they get that beautiful, layered pad sound? Is it just a couple of string sounds, noise, and a ton of reverb? And how do they get the drop (at 1:52) to have such a huge sense of space?

Thanks, the last of those I actually finished back in like September. I'm into taking bits of techno & funky into it now, though I'm not sure where it's going.

So yes, vsts work and aren't solely for dj'ing, but in all likelihood that midi device will be perfect for controlling vsts.

Budget is ~$200, although I'm willing to go higher if everything in that price range is poor bang for buck. I live in Europe, if that makes any difference. Just compensate for it, turn your basses down to the levels you hear in properly mixed tracks through you headphones.

Budget is ~$200, although I'm willing to go higher if everything in that price range is poor bang for buck. I live in Europe, if that makes any difference. What kind of audio interface/sound card are you using? You might want to allocate a bit of that money to an interface with a strong headphone amp as the big closed-back cans like to have some extra juice before they really start producing big tight bass response. Also mixing in 16/44.1 sucks balls. An NI Audio2 and Sennheiser Hd-280Pros would be a decent starter setup for around $200 I mixed a few tracks on 280s a few years back and they turned out alright, here's one: http://soundcloud.com/the-gooch/the-gooch-leviathan Meatsplosion fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Dec 31, 2009 |

trill rear end posted:you think so? i really like it Yes, I do. You start with a spooky theme and then decide to augment it with a single vocalsample that sounds ripped off from a 1996 porn kings track (look it up), and overuse it. It doesnt work. Break it off and put it into a new project if you like it, is my advice. Stay true to the original concepts.

I've had my Etymotic ER-4s for 5 years, and they have been very good to me, except it is really hard to find filters for them, and they're super expensive. I'm looking to move into a pair of triple drivers, but these have been really good to me.

Just started reading this thread because a friend got me interested in the whole "electronic music on the computer" hobby and my copy of Ableton Intro plus the EMU XBOARD 25 should be here by Monday  I wanted to say thanks to whoever mentioned the ASIO4ALL driver-thing, which finally makes my old DMXFire soundcard not freeze when trying to enable ASIO in Ableton. Maybe this should be included in the OP? I also wanted to ask if there are any online resources that explain how to achieve certain popular effects in electronic music, or if there are any books that are a "must have" in gerneral, for people doing audio stuff (e.g. on software, mixing, mastering, effects, etc.).

You'll have a really really really long road ahead, and there are no shortcuts. On the other hand, you'll have it better than I did in the 90s because you have a search engine and Youtube at your disposal  .

Is there a point in using Ableton if I don't have a Midi controller or any other real interface other than my mouse and keyboard? Or should I just go try something with Reason or Logic?
