Impulse purchase, spur of the moment thing and I know nothing about it :lol: That said, I haven't physically got it, just layed down a deposit as I recently bought other stuff which emptied my wallet but I'm quite looking forward to some sofa jams away from the PC and as I can be away from home for ...

Just wondering if you have any advice on how to expand into genres beyond techno, or beyond what you normally listen to, without your brain jumping in and saying "uh, that chords bad, that riff is too much" etc... Chords more complex than basic triads, ie: major & minor 7ths, 9ths 11ths, 13ths & su...

I'm always putting stuff on it, then I forget and resample something and wonder why it sounds rubbish as I haven't realised it's gone through the processing twice. Aside from that, I quite like experimenting with subtle things, I'm normally looking for a 'glue' type things or some overall sonic cohe...

These days, surely Youtube is your best bet as far as immediacy? Depending on what you're looking for, artist interviews, political speeches, spoken word poetry, motivational speeches, there's tons of stuff. I like to watch certain things and sometimes catch stuff I could find useful but I rarely go...

Another user & fan of the Blofeld, Minilogue looks really nice and an absolute steal at that price but I have only heard it online, not played with one. If you want a polysynth for chords, bear in mind it's 4 note poly so major & minor 7ths are you biggest possible chords unless you omit notes from ...

Thanks for the replies, I've heard of the APC 40 but like most of the other controllers in this vein, I haven't really looked into them with any degree of depth, I have a better understanding of what will work and what might not though now so thanks. @ Planar, I'm experienced enough to write and mix...

Oddly enough, there aren't a lot of controllers fully replicating the classic mixer workflow and those that do exist tend to be marketed towards engineers and are super expensive. Or you could buy a cheap Behringer mixer or something and route through that. That would be actually be cheaper than mo...

Thanks, yeah I was thinking it might be a better idea to look at DJ type controllers but all I've seen doesn't seem to work to the extent that I'd like. Obviously, it's easy in theory, at least with a hardware set up but potentially very complicated ITB so I get that I will have to do at least some ...

Hi. This is my second outing in my interest of music production. I first got interested while at College and it was a complete hardware set up. VST technology was very basic then anyway so I didn't bother with it, then after a while a number of things caused me to lose interest. What I really enjoye...

Those look interesting, will be checking them out. Any thoughts on the other plugins on there? Been using Fielding DSP Reviver recently and I quite like that, esp in serial mode where it adds 2nd order harmonics which seems to add a colouration I quite like as well as some transient softening in a t...

The 2nd track sounds like a DX/FM synth to me. I can coax that type of sound out my DX11 when I try to make it do 'acid' sounds.

OH GUYS. I need a controller for automation, what should I get?? I think it will be a whole lot easier now I use Ableton. My work flow is; Gin More Gin More Gin Passout from Gin Hate what I made the day after. Burn it with fire. There's so many options in regard to controllers. Depends what you wan...

I've got that track somewhere but not heard it for a while. Y'know when I first heard it, my immediate thought was that it was a monofied and processed sample off the intro to Kool & The Gang's 'Summer Madness'. I think I was wrong now as the only similarity is the minor 9th chord and tremolo. But h...

I need to snap out of session view, since I got interested in making music again, that's been the place in Ableton where I come up with my ideas. I haven't been making any 'proper' arrangements either, they're more or less strong core ideas built in session view and then jammed out in a kind of old ...

My 2 cents says it's nothing to do with delay and that it's tremolo on the orignal chord which is a an m9 chord. He's found a pitch which plays it back in an almost triplet time but it's never in time and I think he used another sample 2 semitones below that has an ample amount of release time on it...

One of those links is actually using barre chords, a techno staple. Really its not about the chords you use, as said above, its all about context. House has the funk, so swing your elements out, use grooves, drag stuff off grid, play live and then loosely quantise. And then of course its about the ...

I caught a video of a guy making experimental Techno/ish stuff which goes against the current realm of thinking in terms of a modular being unproductive. I have to say though, this guy must be the exception to the rule as I haven't seen anyone else at all who creates music from scratch which a modu...

Hi. I'm new here. Long time lurker but only recently registered. I don't know much about Techno and I suck at it, I'm establishing whether I am cut out for it or not and I'm here to try out whatever I pick up in terms of new techniques etc. Deep House stuff came a bit easier to me - at least in term...
