  1. There are plenty that do that [google it!]

    For some reason I serched for paning, not panning.. A little mistake and there are no results..

    Found some respatializer, looks good..

    There are lots of other great stuff also.. Wave arts panorama looks good for 3D effects..

    Camel Audio Camel Space is not much of panning but for gatting is awesome..

    Theres also a new discovery pro, hope its much better than old disco.. Most of the time I get noizy sounds out of old discovery.. Cant get that clean sound Im looking for..

  2. im searching for progressive trance that makes you lose you sanity and any sense on the dancefloor. really hard banging stuff.

    any recommendations?

    Just wait till I make some new mix and Ill post a traclist :lol:

    :posford:

     

    Most progressive trance I know is not hard in the way you describe it, for me the description sounds more like some progressive house or hardhouse.

    Yeah, but there is progressive trance also as I see it.. Most of progressive house is commercial crap but there are some really banging track that I call progressive trance and have nothing to do with house except they are progressive..

     

     

    just listening

    Annarchy - Bizzare hi (Southern oscillation- DOMO)

    it bangs, its trance, its progressive..

     

    Anyways after third minutes track get some sounds I dont like.. But it still bangs..

    Now Vaishiyas - Scape from the same compilation are rocking.. Awesome distorted leads..

  3. So I had big problems with deckadance, I couldnt prelisten on the headphones.. So now after I messed with asio drivers and reinstalled them for three times I finally managed to get that deckadance going on my sb live.. The only problem I have still is that crossfader acts in reverse way when I mix the tracks(which is weird but it can be tolerated).. Otherwise midi implementation is great and after adjusting midi it works well, pitch shifting is natural and im impressed with lo/mid/hi faders, they actually act as almost like compressors so when u boost your bass it wont overdrive and mid and high will lower itself witch sounds amazing when u try it and its pretty addictive..

  4. no probemld here... but then again, I own it.... ALL synths that i have work. From ABL to z3ta... you really need to spend some more time with it, and i would suggest that you read more about it, i mean comon, you seem to read so much other stuff, why not dig into THIS manual.... ;)

    First I cant spend time when nothing is working, I would stick with it for long if it works.. Anyways dont think Im not getting music production seriously, I've read throughly lives manual with as much patience as I have when Im reading the holy scriptures.. My manual has 44 pages and maybe its incomplete..

     

    All my vst's work in Live. Just an idea, but are you dropping them into audio or midi tracks in Live? From what I recall (away from my Live'd lappy right now) synths run from midi tracks and won't load into audio tracks. I also seem to recall if you just double click a synth it will automatically open in a new track in the mixer for it. I know there are some native cubase plug ins that won't work in other apps, but everything else works here no problem.

    Thats more logical solution since fx should work on audio tracks and synths on midi.. That should work but its not..

    Like I said it shows nothing when I open some vst synth folder so I have nothing to double click on but it shows the effects..

    I tried it just now and when I set vst plugin folder in live to that cubase is using live just crashes.. Im compensating that now by copying vsts to another folder and deleting native instruments vsts so well see what happens.. I just found out that I have live v 1.0, I think thats obsolete version, I could get live 6, what is the current version?

    How could I download old live that doesnt supports vsts.. Man

     

    OK so I deleted all native cubase vsts along with some synths live proposed and now there are no nag screens when loading vst folder but it still wont open synths..

    How do I choose between audio and midi tracks? When I create new track its audio by default and I didnt seen any midi track so far in live..

     

    Also I didnt try it but according to the settings it seems I have similar problem with output on headphones like with deckadance so it looks like Im gona have to use sb live sound card to achieve prelistening option.. Ill mess with that later, live should support two sound cards, is it not?

  5. I just cant get open vst synths when I drag and drop them in ableton, only vst effects.. And I doubt thats the audio setup problem..

     

    I just tried it now again and it just wont open the folder where particular vst synth is.. And it can open folder where vst effect is normally and than I drag and drop effect and it works, but Im saying the synths wont open, none.. Which vsts u use in ableton?

  6. "Oh, how did I miss that?"/

    Yeah, I sometimes have that experiance with cubase..

    Anyways thank u guys for help, I just needed to know that it can be done cause I went through all the manual and not a word of midi editors and such..

    Anyways I can drag n drop only vst effects onto track but not synths.. In the browser it wont open the folder of particular vst.. I choosed my cubase vstplugins folder and when I first loaded them it sent me one after another "this vst cant be opened with live".. So u are saying that all of your vsts u use on cubase are working in live..

    I must get this to work, that what I wanted and knew that it must have options but seems Im having some problems.. Ill mess with that and see maybe it will work..

  7. Also, I like red better. Especially during the night, as an astronomer, a space geek, we can only use red light to see, it does not affect our night time vision nearly as much, although a tiny bit. Looking into a blue led and looking up at the stars just doesn't work very well. A red led will permit you to look down, modulate, and than look up at the stars :) and still see stars. Heheh.

     

    -d

    Thats cool, I never thinked about it in that way.. Its true acording to the laws of physics..

    Anyways, you should have no doubt about A6.. It has the same knobs as my micron only more of the.. A lot more..

     

    That mono is great, the guy who sold me micron bought mono evo after alesis.. I tried, its special.. But I needed a keyboard on a synth and poly is too expensive.. And only 4 voices, thats not much of a poly

  8. I do think Decadence looks very good feature wise, but I still would not switch from Live.

    Live can do everything that decadence can and there is some things like effect racks I would find it hard to be without.

    Also with the mouseless control I hardly use the GUI when I play, otherwise decadance could maybe make sense due to it's more specialized interface.

     

    And I don't use the BCD2000....for my liking it would be too limiting.

    I use the BCR2000. I also looked at the Bitstream, Novation ReMote's and the UC33-e, but for me the layout on neither would really work without switching presets. The LED's around the knobs on the BCR is great for DJ use.

    If nothing else it's a great first controller to get to figure out what your needs are. It can take a while to find exactly what you like to include in your setup and for around €129 you get one of the most flexible controllers you can find apart from modular or DIY.

    Yeah I was speaking about bcr not bcd.. Have to watch out with that letters..

    Anyway that bcr was controller of choice.. Until I found bitstream.. Its also good for djing, you get crossfader with it..

    Anyway about live.. As I said live cant get my vsts to work, deckadance can..

    Im really interested in that live but its not working for me, only vst fx.. And it cant play midi patterns only wav loops

  9. I find it rather good, for some things. The loops that comes with it is very well produced, but very hard to apply any of my projects. So I mostly use it for "one-shots".

    Tell us more about it.. Im interested too.. I dont care for the loops that come with it.. Is it good for remixing as they say?

     

    And techno how is that chameleon?

  10. Devious

    So in the end it suck.. To me Prophet 5 looks awesome but then again it is to simple for some nasty things..

    With witch evolver did u mess with? Poly or mono? I played with mono and knobs are bit hard and too close to each other but however u can make some crazy shh.. Are knobs on poly worse than on mono? How could it be? Is Dave really so dumb to put better knobs on cheaper synth?

    Anyways Alesis has best knobs I ever used and probably ever will.. There is no comparisons when u try one.. And all Alesis stuff has them, even MIDI controllers..

    and pitch/mod on my micron is better than on that evo its horizontally aligned, little weird but when u get used to it its like driveing a car, and the red LED is progressivly illuminating pitch wheel (on evo its blue).. I dont know man, Im really all horny about that poly evo but now ur saying this..

  11. For introduction I wanna state my 1st impressions of Ableton.. Lot of people on this forum talked about using Ableton is better than Cubase etc.. So I gained impression that it really can be used in production although I knew its for live performance as the name tells it.. So I tried a demo and I 1st thing I thinked about is that midi mapping is well done.. But I didnt explore it so much cause its was a demo..

     

    Now I have full version and Im really interested in it.. When I opened it again my second thought was: Man, where are the controls? OK, it has some FX but its really meant for pure live performance.. Then again after I read the manual and explored it further I realized its just about the loops and creative way of recording and playing them.. Of course it supports VSTs, thats what I want.. But when I loaded VSTs there was 1st disappointment.. It couldnt load any synth made for live performance.. It supports only FX as I see it..

     

    Than 2nd dissapointment.. Why cant I load some of my midi sequences, patterns, phrases and such into it.. How will I recreate live on stage what I do at home.. I could use a VST sequencer for rhythm and split my keyboard so I can play bass, leads, pads and stuff separately on my synth but even if I could knew to play all of them at the same time with my 2 hands and even if I only splitted the keyboard and used rhythms from synth to play my melodies that cant be possible cause Ableton does not support synth Im using nor sequences import or something like that.. However I really have faith in that program and hope that someone will tell me Im wrong..

     

    So to make it simple, how is live performing of your stuff made in cubase done? I wanna be ABLE to sequence my bass lines, rhythms and play my leads live, maybe spilt the keyboard so I can play bass patterns live and drop some loop here and there?

    We are making trance (synthesizeing sounds that have never been heard before, not looping something thats chewed and spitted many times(although we are implementing short loops of such stuff but thats just a little dose)) so I see no great use of loops, that could be more apropriate for ©rap, or hip hop and such, even minimal.. Is ableton ABLE of to do that?

     

    It has really great GUI and midi implementation so it would be waste of such good program.. If ableton is unABLE I hope stainberg V-STack is but again V-STack has support for 12 VSTs but without sequencing..

     

    Or is the only way putting all my cubase projects into one big track and twiddleing the knobs.. But thats not as live as I want it to be..

    Even some dj mix program support use of vst and playing midi patterns automatically while at the same time you are in the mix and are controling everything with midi.. So here it is, I know its a long read but I really wanna go live, its natural progression when u have some of your production material..

  12. Interesting Caban, since I planed to open ableton topic and obviously state some of my views that are not opposed to yours so u should go and read that also..

    Here I just want to encourage you with that Deckadance cause it is the best program I ever used for djing in my life. It supports not only vst and sampler but also midi imports of patterns, phrases and such.. It also supports light show scanners to be in sync with the mix in the club witch is by far the best thing I have ever seen but surely I aint gona use that option at home..

    Another great thing that u might be interested in is that supports your BCD2000 but somehow it doesnt support my Bitstream 3X which is way better than yours.. But I think its cause not so many guys has its, so I sent them mail to implement that in another version.. Another weird thing is that u can control it with MII nintendo wireless joystick?! and a xone:3D mixer(if u are blessed to have one).. Anyways for my other views read live topic..

  13. Analogic/Bionic delay with feedback over 50, but BE CAREFUL!

     

    Sticking RVox on the delay return can help keep levels up with lower feedback amounts too.

    Thanks Colin I will check it out.. I have ohmboyz and its ultimate for short delays but I need longer ones.. 50 sounds nice..

     

     

    I just check that analogic/bionic and that shh is for free.. I just remembered I have it on the 303 free vst cd that I dont use.. U really think its better than ohmboys.. Do u use it for your releases? Man I see that Coldplay used it.. Is todays trance really based on free gear? Than its really true what I asked in some other topic of nemo..

    However Ill give it a try right away, maybe I just jumped over it and thought it is crap, maybe it really does the job.. I see midi implementation so thats a big + at the start..

  14. Clearly your intuition is trying to convince you that spending money is a bad idea. Listen to acidkills. Stick with FL, because it's a powerful program in the right hands, and get a cheap controller if you must buy something (because it's not necessary). Download free VSTs, since there are some very good ones out there. In other words, force yourself to be creative, since that's how the interesting stuff happens, not by amassing gear. And you'll be happy that you have money for food and books, and maybe a date or two. ;)

    Just to mention, most of free vsts are crap.. I have about 300+ of them and they are nothing compared to my 20 top most arsenal than I now own.. Get some pro stuff and theres no need for some expensive gear although you can buy something in the future just to fit nice on the table..

    Warez man.. Warez.. Then if u become famous some day and earn huge amounst of money than u buy original vsts u used..

     

    Otto , shh.. man do I sound like intuition? :lol:

  15. As much as I know Electribe is good for remixing and what do u want to do with it? I think u should wait to get home to buy it.. You should stick to FL for start than when u get familiar upgrade to Reason and when you master it use Cubase..

    Maybe you should consider buying MIDI controler rather than electribe for start cause it CAN be as much as fun twiggling knobs on the computer via midi as twigling knobs on a harware synth.. Knob is knob, there is no difference, the only difference is quality of a midi u buy.. You also have synths with lousy knobs and thats no fun at all.. My Alesis Micron has best knobs I ever worked on, you can check that out to.. We had a debate onece what is better MicroKorg or Micron, you can search it to find out more.. If you are planning to do psy Micron is great for that and also electro.. But you should equip yourself with some good VSTs no matter which synth u buy..

     

    You said u have mixer and on what do you spin on cds or turntable? Is trance scene in japan really that commercial as it looks like? Are the Japanese girls wearing umbrellas like on every picture I see from a trance party in japan? :-D
