I'm sorry you're so young and stupid to think encouraging illicit behavior here is a good idea. Perhaps this isn't the right place for you? Find a forum with more adolescents like you to hang out at. You're not going to make out very well with this setup. After you get the controller your remaining budget will limit you to B-level racksynths from yesteryear. You have the same problem as before but proportioned differently. I'm looking at this mostly in terms of intrinsic value. I'm assuming you just want to make music. If you're more after a hardware learning experience then any of the aforementioned synths will give you that. cheers.

I'm changing my avatar to the cacodemon until this project is released. Gentlemen, it's time to kick the hype up a notch.

Hold the command-key, the cursor will change to a drawing tool. When in doubt, Read The Fine Manual. cheers.

I should probably throw my 2 cents in. Unless you play live, you're better off getting a software synth and controller keyboard with knobs. As was said, you're not going to get an analogue synth at that price -- you're going to get a software synth with a keyboard attached to it... so why not just cut out the middle man? Unfortunately, if you're looking for the more unique VA sounds (Virus/Nord/etc) you're gonna need a 4-figure budget or close to it. It's hard to justify using going hardware unless you can get something that really makes it worth it. cheers.

how so? AUs are generally well-supported in any Mac application. I'm a bit baffled as to why it would be inadequate to use in GarageBand but not Live, Logic or any other sequencer. If you can shed some light on that I can give you a better answer than "hay check out logic express" Do you have the Mac yet? I can't tell if you've experimented with any of your options or not. cheers.

^^^ That kind of setup is endearing in its own way. I've seen threads like this on other forums which were formidable. People here do very much with very little... a recurring theme in this community, I believe. cheers.

Your studio(s) are just as elegant as I would've expected. Lovely. cheers.

OK humility isn't necessary, just some self-consciousness will do. We help those who help themselves. As long as you're making an effort you'll earn some patience. best of british to you.

I noticed I was quoted in that post at the time but I never actually read it until now. Hoo boy. Nicholstein, unfortunately you've habitually presented yourself in a sophomoric way which has turned most people off from taking you seriously. I'm glad you're showing some humility now, keep that up and we'll be less reticent to help you. It's not too late, but there's a lot of damage to undo. Just be delicate in how you present yourself. cheers. edit: I'm gonna zap you with one of my synths.

That's not a disagreement. What I said was that one only needs to pick out the parts of the original they need for their remix. If you do more conservative arrangements then yeah, you'll be picking out more than I would need. Before I did remixing I transcribed to MIDIs for vgmusic-like sites, which to me is a very different process from remixing. If that's part of your process, fine, but I stand by my earlier claim that it's not necessary. cheers.

^^^ that's not perfect (absolute) pitch. You can't do it a 'little bit' and you can't learn it in your teens-- either you've got it or you don't. This is an aimless discussion anyway, the OP's question (naive as it was) has already been answered.

The good news is, as a remixer, you don't have to figure out every note; you just need to figure out whatever parts you need to make your remix. I generally only pick out the distinctive bits from the melody and run with that. I don't recall ever needing a MIDI for a remix, but that's probably a good place for you to start. cheers.

ahh, there's the fap material this thread was missing. thanks for the greargasms. I'll contribute something soon.. something.

Your real problem is that you're a naive adolescent (i.e. stupid kid). Try to fix that before you ask for help next time.

hmm, one of us is missing something basic. Your amp only has 1 mono output (aside from the low freq out) and obviously there's only one woofer.. so stereo output of any sort from that amp was an impossibility from the start. The "panned" signals will be mixed together.

Explain these two things first: - what sort of amp you have - how your amp is feeding the PA system I know the answer regardless, but you'll get a more reliable answer if you explain the entire signal path instead of just part of it.

MIDI protocol works the same way regardless of what you're plugging in and where, so you're thinking correctly. Just make the right connection, send the right messages and you'll get what you want providing the MIDI implementation of the device allows it. Is the USB on the Pod for audio only? If it provides a software MIDI-out port as well then you won't even need a MIDI cable. cheers.

I'm misremembering-- thinking of child processes, which you do need various IPC methods to work with. These are probably not utilized much in DAWs. Congratulations, my point is moot.

Bingo, I don't know of any software that will allow you to use your tablet the way you envision. Your best bet is to get used to the "crappy inefficient note type cycling staff". Or if you can play piano, get a midi controller and sequence the parts live and notate only where necessary. cheers.

This thread was probably migrated from phpbb, maybe the views were calculated differently. Or maybe more people browse old threads than thought (p-i-t certainly found it) Or, yeah, there's likely less interest in this forum than there was before. A bummer if true, since this is the only part of the whole site I frequent.

I'd second craiglist, I've used it to get freelance software/web programming jobs. But I'd just pay the listing fee -- the 'gigs' section is a crapshoot. I never check there anyway; if someone can't pay the measly fee on craigslist then I don't want to work for them. As for the idea, I'm not so sure about the premise. IIRC, a Windows application can address 2 GB of memory but each thread that application spawns can address 2 GB of memory as well. Applications (DAWs especially) make use of threads to benefit from multi-processor systems. I happen to have Logic open, so I checked and it's using 16 threads. If Logic were a Windows application it could potentially address 32 GB of memory. Now, how those threads are divided up among the bits that matter (plugins) changes the story dramatically, but I still think you may be overestimating the advantages of your idea. Of course I quit my last windows development job 6 years ago, so I could be not remembering things right.

also try http://www.bigbluelounge.com/ forums, lots of mac-based music producers there. cheers.

why not use the compo:TS?

and one month later, surely we deserve a little update (:
