How much?

Section X - Atlantis

Yes, that's a Promix 01... I'm not using it as a control surface as it's too clumsy - there's no easy way of knowing which bank of faders it's controlling! I've used it as one before though, and to write automation for other things but nowadays I use the knobs on the Nord instead. I don't have much experience with control surfaces but anything that will emulate a Mackie Control should do most of what you need - and there are a few cheap examples out there if you look for them. And leave my old cock out of this. Small is beautiful smith, small is beautiful. As your girlfriend no doubt keeps reassuring you. You can program it fine - it's the Matrix 1000 that you can't program from the front panel (although I think it'll take sysex). In a sense you're right though; you can't program the one in the photo. I switched it on yesterday to get some flashing lights for the photos above and it seems to be dead The power cable comes loose sometimes on that thing though so I'm hoping that's all it is. Bricks and Blutack It's all about getting the cone moving, not the cabinet. Anyway it's not how it looks, it's how it sounds, and my room does pretty fucking good - I'm very lucky indeed; I've had very flattering comments from People You Know And Respect about the acoustics in here, and I luuurve my speakers

Select 8-bar's worth of kick-drums, right-click: Audio -> Events to Part Your kicks are now inside an 'audio part', which is basically a container that groups a one or a number of audio events together as one. You can edit the clips inside it by double-clicking, which brings up the audio part editor, and remove the part (returning the clips to the arrange window as they were before) by right-clicking Audio -> Dissolve Part. A 'ghost copy' is a copy of an object that refers to the same data as the original; ie. if you change the copy, the original changes too, and vice versa. Very useful for repeated riffs, eg. long stretches of similar kickdrums. Where the default key modifier for a normal copy is alt-drag, the default SX modifier for a ghost copy is shift-alt-drag. Ghost copies are distinguished by italic names. If you want to make a change to just one ghost copy and leave the rest as they are, you can convert the ghost part to a real part by selecting it and right-clicking Edit -> Convert to Real Copy; any changes you now make to this object are not reflected in the other copies. It's vitally important that you keep track of which parts are ghost copies and which are real, as it's easy to mess up your track badly by making large changes to ghost copies without converting them to real ones first. Used properly however, they are an incredibly powerful tool.

If I might make a suggestion, using audio parts to group together eg. 8 bars worth of kickdrums, instead of having each one on its own in the arrange window, would make things much easier to handle and edit - ghost parts even more so.

It's not like I haven't got a million things I should be doing instead, but yousend it to me and I'll see what I can do.

I am analog. However most of the music I make at the moment is made digitally.

Go for it Reger, you write the shop and I'll encode the tracks. I've got OOOD.NET but no website for it so it could be a perfect match Make sure it looks really good though - no OOOD website is going to be made out of plain HTML...

As the saying goes, "that would be fucking bonzer wicked".

Ok. We don't get paid because Flying Records, who were distributing the album on behalf of Cabbage, went bankrupt not long after the album was released. The administrators sold the stock on to recover some of Flying's debts, and - obviously - the benefit of that sale did not go to us but to Flying's creditors. Subsequent sales are therefore made without any obligation on the new stock-owner's behalf to pay royalties.

Mike sent me a different screenshot of the same project that shows a little more. Otto - you see all those MIDI tracks (14-36)? Each one is connected to a different VSTi. And let's just say that our Mike A isn't shy of using a VST plugin or two.

I'd rather not right now.

Let's just say... it's a long story

Ok well anyone who wants one should PM me. It might take me a little while to get round to doing it though (ask technosomy )

Apparently there are some out there somewhere grr but when people ask me for them I burn them here in the Stooodio. I re-designed the artwork a while ago, too.

hahahahahahahahaha Matt Coldrick was session and touring guitarist for R&B artist Gabrielle and Neil Cowley played keyboards with an early incarnation of the Brand New Heavies (I saw him do some really quite excellent funky blues improv with the house band in a restaurant in Cape Town in 1997)... so yes, not musically talented at all. Not.

No, that didn't happen at all. Honest. Do I look like someone who would have an extended PM conversation with someone then not be sure of their username when I cleared my Inbox? Do I? DO I??? No, didn't think so. <ahem> As for aLIVE, if you buy it from anyone other than us direct we don't get a penny...

Ask him from me what key he'd like his bassline in.

...when I cleaned out my inbox recently. Please get in touch.

I'm sure he'll make the best album he can. 'Good' is a very subjective concept.

Um...
