    Ableton Live

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    Hola, hey como estas? yo soy de Alicante pero vivo en Boston. nada tio a ver si nos mantenemos en contacto.

     

    Chris

     

     

    Plof! and somebody fall here for the first time.

    My first post here, I´m from Spain (Madrid, but living in Barcelona), today I was talking with a friend about the situation here of the psy culture. Every collective discuss with the other, not so good energies, and not so good parties. But it´s truth that a few people make things with love. Recently the only international festival called Omni festival has broken, and falled into the darkness...  :huh:

     

    Ok, what I´m suppose to talk about is Ableton Live. Everybody say that Cubase has nothing to do versus Live!, and here I don´t see  any post of this Software.

    Somebody use it? I would like to know what´s the concept of Resampling in Live.

    Any Sound engineer?

     

    All the best.

    Sound issue

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Thanks, ya all this is with out mixing and mastering.. sometimes I just move it to mp3 so I can take it to work and get more ideas, when I forgot about the song I put it on see if I like it or not.. :-)

    I was playing with winamp EQ and byt lowering the 60 to half and the 170 to below the line and also lowering the 310 it sounds much better.. I may need to EQ it on Cubase before I export it?

     

    Cheers and thanks

     

     

     

    Your issue not related to the sound cards here, the problem is in the sound mixing and mastering. You should make it sound well in any sound system - that's where you bx5's come for help. Also check what lacks in your mix on the 5.1 system and other systems you got, it will help you to know what you should work on. Good luck.

    Tips for doing live PA's

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    Yap mostly my own and hopefully if I can get someone in my area to join me that will be great, but inmy own to start..

    yes my laptop and two controlers.. the UC33e and the m-audio keystation 49e

     

    just I got live5 and I started to play with it.. but I am totally newbee about it..

    I know cubase and reason and trust me live is another world.

     

    and your tips make sense I will keep them in mind thank you.

    at some point I will like to get a hard synth and play my dark melodies from it live..

    etc.. but step by step right?

     

    Cheers.

    if anyone have more ideas please say so.

     

     

     

     

    Hi rek2,

     

    before you start planning your live act, you should consider the following:

     

    1. are you aiming to do your live act on your own or do you have a band?

     

    2. to what degree is your live set going to be live (ie played in real time)

        the more you actualy play the more people you will need.

     

    3. which part of your setup do you want to take with you?

      a notebook or endless cases, racks, synths etc..

    ok lets be realistic, you simply can not trigger every kik, hat, sample or play every melodie line. so you have to consider what you can actualy do live on stage and what not. if you have a notebook then cosider ableton live. ableton live has 8 stereo tracks, so it might be a good idea to split all your  songs up in to 8 tracks this could work as follows:

     

    1 track for bass line and kik,

    1 track for pecussion,

    2 tracks for melodies,

    2 track for effects twirls and such things,

    1 track for grouped things

    (mabe you have a break where you have stuff playing which normaly does not play)

    1 track for stuff you trigger every now and then.

     

    if you go this way other things to consider are, keep all the compositions in the same key, tempo etc. this way you can combine different songs. ie using the drum from one song and the synths from another.

     

    another interesting tool is: Cakewalk - Project 5 V2

     

    check out this demo video:Project 5 demo

    Sound issue

    ok another stupid question. but it just drive me crazy...

    ok for production I use a external usb m-audio sound card with BX5 monitors..

    I do my thing and sounds great and clean.... I export it to wav or mp3 from Cubase...

    and I listen to it on my internal sound card the SB audidy with a 5.1 speaker thing with subwoofer that is what most people have.. and sounds like crap... and no way I am going to role any track like that to nobody...

    so here is my question... what I am doing wrong? why the sound changes so much betweend sound cards and speakers...

    is just odd that under monitors and my m-audio sound card sounds ok and clean..

     

    Any help?

    Thanks

    cubase+vst's issue

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    Hi guys hope someone can help me.. I am stuck.

    ok let me put a easy example..

    you create two midi tracks in cubase, you assign the same vst.. lets say.. FM7

    now for each trak, you want to use a different patch.

    everty time I try this.. it will change both tracks.. is annoying.

    what I been doing so far is using a different vst for each track.. but that sucks since

    I want to use my fav vst's more than in one track.

     

    thanks.

    Hello guys, ok I been doing music with cubase+Reason etc etc..

    but really I will really enjoy if I can take my music to the people...

    what should I do? should I change the way I produce my music so is easier to move to Ableton Live?

    loops instaed of tracks? my recent tracks how will I play them live to the people?.. and I dont mean just press play and let them go.. I mean actually remaiking the track on the stage... with controlers and synhs..

    just brainstorming.. I need advice from the people that have experience.. I dont want to just play a track then mix it like a DJ.. I will love to actually make music on stage.

     

    Thanks. :rolleyes:
