| wellcom | :-| |
| m||m | anyone use a netbook to make tunes on? I will be wanting to run cubase and renoise mainly with vsts n shit! cheers |
| hardoff | i just grabbed a bunch of those ones wellcom posted, but they're really low bitrate mp3 files :p |
| wellcom | i didn't download any from the link i posted. i wanna get midi breaks. does anyone know a site? however, if someone told me how to do the tambourines over jungle breaks i'd be happy. i have "open" and "closed" samples. |
| m||m | i generally cut up all my drum/percussion/breaks manually as audio....will i benifit from using a sampler/recycle at all? all in cubase! i have used renoise for breaks before but i find the rewire a little flaky and theres some latency issues on win7 64 bit....thanks ;] |
| wellcom | i managed to find a good fm synthesis vst. am yet to try it out. |
| gwud | what is its given name? |
| gwud | no linux. i wonder what that takes. i am using windows right now but i dont have any good VST hosts here |
| m||m | Can someone explain side chaining in cubase 5 in a simple way please, i've never actually used it! |
| peace ♥ | Side chaining in Cubase 5 is pretty simple. There's like a side, and then you put a chain on it. That's where the phrase, "Off the chain" comes from. It means when your chain is not sided (it is off the side). So to maintain a proper side chain functionings, you have to make sure your chain is not on the top, bottom, front, or back-- i.e. it must be on the left or right side (or both, which is called "bilateral side chaining"). So in Cubase 5- which is the "base of your cube, times 5"- you have to first find the length of a side of the cube you're working with, which ultimately is your monitor horizontal resolution. So for example, a 1366x768 monitor- working with Cubase 5- would be 3840 (i.e. 768*5). So then on the left or right or both sides of 3840, you put a chain. Pretty simple, really. ![]() |
| CharlesWatkins | its no different than any other daw. |
| cfp | Peace wins at Cubase!! |
| wellcom | that's like saying "insert floppy disk and close door", putting the disk in and getting up and closing the door to the room in which you are in. |
| m||m | i got all my sidechain going now and it's not that special if i'm honest it's good if you use it in subtley or in producing rock music.... got any cool new plugins or fx or owt? I'm still on cubase 5 and thinking of upgrading!!! ableton 9 looks swish! |
| Szuumm | m||m said: ableton 9 looks swish! It's ok... not much has changed in the main program. New M4L stuff is nice. |
| toot! | I just bought Ableton, haven't played on it since version 2 and intend to use it to perform rather than produce (I write in Logic mostly)...anyone got any exciting tips? |

| § | Live takes a while to get fluid with...depends what you want to do i guess.....i generally only use arrange page like a standard boring daw.....its got mad crazy functions though....years of fun |
| § | This guy has some great tutorials [www.youtube.com] And this dude got skills [www.youtube.com] I'll send you some project files from my last album if you like...? |
| hardoff | the guy who recreates the prodigy tracks in ableton.... serious skillz (probably doesn't have a lot of individuality or anything, but we all have different strengths) |
| toot! | Nice one, looks like some interesting stuff to get my teeth into (I'd spied that Tom Cosm guy already, his tutorials seem good and his accent makes me chuckle so I'll definitely be watching more). I'd be really interested to peak at some of your project files for sure! hello-å†-tootdotcom.çøm |
