Re: Breakbeats in techno - tips and tricks

I set division to 1/8(for start, when I add more breaks I set it different). Then I program the parts of the break with midi, its somehow easier to get something fun for me this way. Yeah I never realised that the classic kinda DnB/jungle kinda cut up break sound is using eg 1/8th slices repeated, ...

Re: Breakbeats in techno - tips and tricks

is it analysing the transient, and then bases it on that?) Yeah I think that it detects the transients (which is what the “transient” setting is for, you could also set this to eg 1/8), then this adds a decaying envelope at every detected transient. So I think it’s like slicing it into a sampler on...

Gosh I've not posted here for ages! Hope everyone is well.

I've been using Ocenaudio (http://www.ocenaudio.com.br/), it's not bad - certainly a better user interface than Audacity. Nothing else has really floated by boat audio editor-wise - I still miss Cool Edit 2000, best editor I ever used!

Re: New Ableton Beta (PDC fix)

Wow, didn't think they'd fix that so soon (well, not soon in the grand scheme of things, but I thought it might not happen til 10). Not that I've ever had issues with it but I know it bothered a lot of people. Will be interested to see if that makes people happy. Glad to see some Push updates in the...

Re: why no playlist?

I might be alone here, but no tracklisting makes me listen to a mix as a whole and absorb it all in context. Sometimes I see a tracklisting and might try and jump to the section with a new track by an artist I like or a bit that looks interesting to me. Yeah man, I know what you mean - I also get p...

Re: Earplug recommend

Been meaning to get a new set of these, was quite pleased with them. Only downside is how much they stick out.

However, then I saw these on CDM: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2014/12/b ... 14-review/ and am tempted to wait for these to be available in the UK
