I think it uses Ableton Link... [edit] It does indeed.

kidfresca posted:I was dumb and ordered a Maschine mkII as part of MF's stupid deal of the day. I failed to note (in addition to it being sold as a restock) that when used standalone it's just an kneecapped MIDI controller. If it's a full size Maschine with the screens etc then it is absolutely possible (once you got your head around it) to use it like hardware. This is especially true if you make use of the inbuilt drum/synth engines. Whilst I don't particularly like Maschine's sequencing for full songs, I use it like a boshy version of Ableton Lives session view. Should you decide to just use it as a generic controller, the NI controller editor gives you some flexibility in tweaking things like pad colour, root key etc. You may as well grab Komplete Start whilst you're at it cos even without the Maschine software you can control anything in there with the Komplete Kontrol vst.

Can anyone suggest me some acoustic drum samples you like? Not for “realistic” drum programming since I’d just pull up ezdrummer/superior for that but some good interesting sounding kits to dump in my sampler. I think Samples From Mars recently did an acoustic kit pack, I bet that’s good.

Ahh man I really should just go ahead and grab the linndrum spm pack. It’s such an amazing sounding machine. Great for some of the post punk/new wave/etc stuff I like to make. Really those drums sound good for just about everything. Goldbaby stuff is great. Top tier hip hop sounds from those samples!

Is there a super simple software MIDI... signal.. controller... thing? Basically I have a few controllers and instruments plugged into my PC and I'd love something simple and easy to route the signal. Like just "take in from Arturia channel 1, output to Minitaur USB in" and have it just work? I know I can do this in Reaper but it gets complicated making quick switches and menu diving to set it up. I'd like something easy for quick noodling.

My audio interface can route midi for me between two hosts and handle 8 controllers, but it has the same basic problem: setting up routes is fiddly and requires memorizing extremely catchy names like HST4 or DIN1 to be able to do anything with it. It's okay when I'm using it a lot but the mappings fade from my brain pretty quick and there's a lot of relearning. The best midi routing I've seen is on my ipad, AUM or ApeMatrix offer a single grid with all sources on one axis and all destinations on another axis and you can make a single tap to set up routes. Reaper does have the routing matrix but afaik it's mostly for routing tracks.. it can do MIDI but honestly I've never tried it with multiple controllers so am not sure it works sensibly. But now that I'm reminded of it I'm gonna have to give it a spin.

It has a simple as hell graphical routing interface. Just drag connections from inputs to outputs and click though to select which channels get routed. e: awesome!

I'm going to buy a second OB-4, this time in red. Really need a good case, I don't really like the mesh backpack but I think that's all first party has to offer besides the stupid leather unprotective case. I'm going to even bring it to the apt gym and start blasting music. The built in mantras are great too! I'm not sure OB-4 will be around forever so might as well buy them now. Love this thing more everyday.

Oh hey, can't believe I forgot this dude: https://www.youtube.com/c/XNBeatsMusic/videos His stuff is less "let's make a creative thing in Bitwig" and more "here is what every single knob on this device does". Very useful for learning how each of the modulators and effects work.

Yeah Waves' copy protection/update schemes are just absolutely heinous, and they also delete any unflattering reviews from their site so that their plugins show up as well-rated even if a bunch of people hate them. Some of their stuff does indeed sound good but they're just a company I never plan to give money to again.

Also poo poo like L1/L2/L3 has been around forever and they’re still charging stupid prices for them. L3 used to be borderline necessary, until iTunes/YouTube/Spotify ended the Loudness Wars. Next time I upgrade my computer, I’m not even going to bother installing any of my Waves poo poo.

I had to flatten my win 8 computer to get on the win 10 train to get at least a couple more years out of it, and trying to recover the trueverb licence I got for free in 2016 was such a pain in the rear end I gave up on it. I've used it in all my projects in the last few years. I got the licence transferred successfully, but couldn't obtain an actual installer that worked, because I had to go through some outdated version of their portal or whatever. Utter poo poo. I loved some of the plugins when I pirated them way way back, like the ssl emulations and the retro vocal compressor, but it's not worth the hassle. A lot of other poo poo broke too, that I had hoped would work by just transferring dlls. Like genuinely free stuff. Really disappointing. The Bitwig talk has me considering starting from scratch with that. I need something that's not just a timeline in my life.

I made a thing. https://soundcloud.com/retrocombine/rotarywip/s-HXJc8uAOsvN It’s a WIP, but I dunno how much more work I’ll actually do on it. It’s hard to tell when something is finished - do I need to add more progression, do I need to change the patches over time (parameter automation), do I need to change the levels, do I need to add percussion…? I think I could basically go on adding and tweaking a track forever, and that’s both fascinating and kinda terrifying. That said I still don’t think this is done, but I’ll be damned if I know where to go next. EDIT: Ended up adding something, tweaking a little, and calling it a day. https://soundcloud.com/retrocombine/rotary Not really sure what to do in terms of overall music making. I might as well just keep making poo poo, but I gotta figure out what next.

Can anyone recommend a good first keyboard synth for an 8 year old? Got a niece who's expressed an interest in learning to play, but they live in a very small home so an 88 key grand piano is out of the question. Would a 37 key be enough to learn on? A focus on presets is probably important too, let's not toss her into the deep end quite yet. Like the PSS-F30 almost does it right, but giving it a usb port with no midi connectivity is criminal. Granted there's no guarantee an 8 year old will ever want to start hoarding synths and turn into the next bloop connoisseur, but it would be nice to get something that isn't an instant dead end if she does end up liking it.

You could focus on presets but kids love being hands on and twisting things! Plus it’s relatively cheap and sounds just as good as any synth you’ll find. My friend has kids that really enjoy playing with his and they’re even younger.

A focus on presets is probably important too, let's not toss her into the deep end quite yet. If she wants to learn to play piano, I’d say 61-keys is the minimum. If she wants to specifically learn synthesizer and electronic music stuff, then yeah, 37-keys should be fine.
