I also just picked up Ableton recently but haven't figured it all out yet. Shit's hard.

there are some good tutorials on youtube.. but I like Tom Cosm's the best (he does psytrance which isn't my thing but his knowledge of live is fantastic). Helped me get my head around some of the aspects I just wasn't getting.

I want to get an Elektron Octatrack. But I'm too poor.
What do you WISH you had?

Four things...

- Audacity
- Zoom H2 Field Recorder
- Yamaha S90 ES Board
- Random samples

quite a bit more than I have..

and the octatrack does seem very cool. I haven't done as much sampling as I would like or used the ones I have as much as I could have but it supposedly sounds great.

But really if I could have what I wanted without impediment
I'd add
Jupiter 8
Elka Synthex
EMS Synthi AKS
Prophet 5
Memotron
Akai S950
Mutronics Mutator

Some better Mics
more guitars
some compressors
more reverb lexicon and bricasti comes to mind
Just More.....

I mean I'm dreaming on some of this stuff (elka, jupiter8, EMS) so I might as well dream big.

FM = HARD BLOW. i own a yamaha fb-01 and also have yet to create a full track with it (need moar midi i/o). fm is so clean and versatile.

there are some great software tools for editing yamaha fm patches via midi. JSynthLib is an open source/cross-platform program that supports DX7 and TX81Z patch editing and library storage. might help when jumping between computers.

cool tracks, btw.

EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS WRONG

Casio VL Tone, crappy 4 track, harmonica and classical guitar. bluesy times

Broken_Drum · Post by **Broken_Drum** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:22 am

Ableton Live 8,
Logic,
Roland SH-201,
Epiphone G400 Custom,
Vox AC30,
Shure SM57,
AKG C1000 S

The mics and Logic are part of my school's music department though so I do most of my recording there. I'd love to get started with some reel-to-reel stuff too.

Roland SP-404
Boss SP-202
Korg Poly 61

The computer is for moving things around.

I also have an Akai-XR20, but I don't use it much and will probably sell it to get an SP-303, save for another synth, or you know, pay rent.

Badly!

No, the way to handle it is to ignore it. If any of it makes sense then you'll discover that naturally or respond to it subconsciously. I personally need to make music with no concept of what it will be like or how it will be received. The only critic you should answer to is yourself.

Anyway...
Software - Reason 4, Ableton Live 8, impOSCAR, Analog Factory, Korg Legacy MS-20 & Mono/poly
Hardware - Juno 60, Moog Little Phatty Stage II, Waldorf Blofeld, Dark Star, Yamaha CS1X, '65 Fender Jazzmaster

After a period of not really using Reason, I've gone back to it for some textures and drones. Pretty good piano sound too.

Yeah! LSDJ is a tracker. The ROM file is pretty cheap ($2) from the website if you wanted to use an emulator. Nanoloop might be a better program to use if you're used to using sequencer interfaces, although LSDJ's tracker layout doesn't take long to get used to.
