i'd say you're better off investing in some quality 3rd party plugins, live 8 works quite well as is.

sine's a way to start, i also dig low-passing a saw quite low for a bit more body. it's just sub.

what pencilrocket said.

it's a better idea to go through each bass channel and see which one actually needs to be boosted. if you bring it up on the entire group you could end up over-enhancing on some parts. on your record i'd work a lot more on bringing the actual sub up since that's what seems to need to come out more. ...

In honesty, have you tried the linux client yet? Have you had any issues? As someone who used Ubuntu desktop for about 4 years before getting a mac, I think this, more than anything is Bitwig's #1 feature... i love linux for a lot things and sure, i might play around on it with a/v tasks; for actua...

arch 86/64 w/ fluxbox first attempt of running it lead to yaourt not finding all required dependencies and it wasn't until it completely crashed mid-project and corrupted everything that the issue became obvious. pacman didn't have much luck with a better install either. ubuntu server 12.04 though i...

that's what i meant, typed too fast.

it would be best to use an omnidirectional mic but even so you'll get some bleed in depending on how loud everything in the room is. watch out for phase issues also, mic placement is very important.

why'd you get rid of it in the first place? the new distortion module is great and it truly makes zebra complete.

long answer: ultimately it's impossible to isolate one single instrument from a master audio file without noticeable effects.

short answer: don't bother.

zebra's range can cover more ground than many other synths can; the learning curve can be steep especially since the lack of "omg wahbulz" or "krazy leed!" presets but it's definitely above other options.

@merges i'm not looking to feel like i'm playing a real piano and i also got used to clicking a lot of stuff in as opposed to using knobs and faders for every parameter, i click a lot of that stuff in. so what i need is keys that feel good, are sturdy, and that send out accurate velocity; then a goo...

thanks for the responses. well in regard to automap and more advanced features i've been using a keyrig49 for the past years with not much need for a sht ton of extra faders, pads, knobs, etc. so at this point in time i'm not really thinking of them. my issue is as much with external as with interna...

i'm looking to upgrade my keyboard in the near future and am currently thinking of:

akai mpk49 or novation 49 sl

at this point in time the novation seems much sturdier, and also after getting the short stick with my apc i'm skeptical about akai's build quality.

which would you recommend?
