Production Thread

[Professor]

So here's a thread where you can ask those of us who are making music, about what we do. A nice place to post links, get software/hardware info...idea exchange and so forth.



Now don't ask me anything I don't know.

[Professor]

oh, and here's some news. Live 5. mp3 support. mmm.

[Forgotten Sanity]

Any of you guys play live gigs? if so, how do you do it? I mean... what gear do you use, how do you trigger progressions, etc...

I'm wondering myself too. Maybe in the future I can play a gig in my hometown or something, you never know... I do know I'm gonna get myself a mixer for that.

Anyway, visit www.thesharkdog.tk to hear 1 complete song and a sample. If you're interested in the complete version of the sample, let me know
I'd find it great if you gave my tracks a try.
I recently got a new track done which I'm gonna put on my site one of these days.

Anyway, I'm not using Live at the moment, because I finally got to know how to mix effects with Reason, and do the whole build-up thing.
Also I can finally MASTER my songs, so there will be no cracks or clips in my future songs. When I have time, I will remaster my old productions.

yeah, too bad i missed out on the first beta

although, on their newest beta copy announcement isee this: the next beta version of Live 5 beta version is online.
We still have not yet increased the beta tester circle. Probably we will do this at the end of this week.

YAY!!!!!!!!

Professor, would you mind private messaging me your AOL screen name if you have one?

I've REALLY been enjoying you music the last three months...

I've got the Live beta. Still haven't messed around with it too much.

Auto-warping feature basically doesn't work; at least not for the grime tracks I tried.

Complex warp mode is a welcome addition: basically, different warp modes for different frequency bands so it can keep the attack of the transients while not adding artifacts to the bass.

Beat Repeater is a new effect that seems like it'll be a staple.

Clips can have different locate positions: haven't mucked about with this, yet, either, but it seems like a great idea.

[Professor]

i also missed the beta. they emailed me about it and as soon as i saw it i went to the site--it was already full. i just bought live 4, so the upgrade will be free for me. i won't be using it for djing, just composition. that beat repeater is a strange take on the plug-in, "super trigger" ....i am interested as to how it will be different.

[adam]

I'm not familiar with that plug-in, so I can't compare.

I was lucky. I had my email open when the beta notifier arrived.
