Ov3rdos3 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 It doesnt matter. Ever heard of Burial? Amazing music. Made on Sound Forge on an old 486. Music comes from the heart, not the tools. Play the melody in your head, then put it down on anything. Personally, I use Ableton, but its really irrelevant. There are people out there using fucking Acid Pro and FL studio that are tearing up the fucking scene. Its about whats in your heart. It has almost nothing to do with the gear you use.

PharaOm Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Burial is awesome Also agree, the point is to find the tools that you like and that makes you confortable to let the inspiration flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm searching for Indian instruments to sound like Shakta & Moonweed - Micronesia (1:04:56), I found MOTU Ethno Instrument 2, and the Roland SR-JV80-14 Asia sound board. Any other suggestion to have nice tablas and sitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurosect Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 there was a soft many years ago..i enjoy..swar shala ..something like that.. also try edirol orchestra ..its amazing ..and dont FORGET PURITY ... have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoatboy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I use ableton and FL studio personally I find ableton easier to use however, I have fun using both The DAW is irrelevant its the user. I've seen seasick steve play a plank of wood with one guitar string on it and it sounded amazing. Its all to do with the person using it, and how much effort you want to put in. Try a few demos and work out how much you are willing to pay really. FL studio is relatively cheap and you get updates for life which is a great deal.

Goa Travellers Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Not many people mention Ableton Live...I am a Cubase user but I started learning Ableton Live. I found the interface ok, but I had to stop because Ableton Live doesn't support sysex (other than with Max4Live), and this is a no-go for me, as I use sysex to control my external hardware. How could I control, say, an MKS-7 with no sysex support...In this regard, Cubase is wonderful with its device panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaISM Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The DAW is irrelevant I couldn't disagree more. Ableton has major sound quality issues that you wouldn't encounter with logic or Cubase etc. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/126945-ableton-live-sound-quality.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other suggestion to have nice tablas and sitar? I bought a Super JV a month ago (it's pretty cheap), and there are great sitar samples and other ethnic sounding stuff (percussion/strings) in that module, I love it.

Ableton has major sound quality issues that you wouldn't encounter with logic or Cubase etc. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/126945-ableton-live-sound-quality.html "major" How many of us are so experienced and have a top notch studio that they can hear the difference between the same mix out of different DAW's? I know FL more than 7 years, Pro Tools 3 years (postproduction) and I wouldn't tell. And I think that counts for most of us bedroom producers. Besides, it also depends if you use plugins or if you do it with hardware, what kind of hardware/plugins you use, instruments, workflow, ...

Yes, I do too (XV-5080), and soon with the Asia SR-JV-14 board (waiting for the seller to come by and deliver it to me). These SR-JV boards are a gold mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Take anything said on GearSlutz with a grain of salt. They just like getting in arguments with each other. And DAW 'sound' wars exist all over the place, not just in relation to Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slina Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 don't waste any more time with Fruitypoops! Get onto Cubase or Logic immediately! Why? I heard that a lot of time, but I don't think so... I think that Fl Studio is amazing software and that low DAW quality is just a myth. I think that it depends of plugins, your mix, volume etc. For example, we have in Fl Studio plugin; Fruity Reeverb and it makes some bad noise in the background... I don't use that plugin. And ofc, mastering is very important too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Because FL may not support sysex automation? Lack of sysex is one of the reason why I don't use Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 And ofc, mastering is very important too not if you do a really good mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Mixing != Mastering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 True, but an outstanding mix requires much less processing in mastering. I believe that's what Padmapani is getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 True, but an outstanding mix requires much less processing in mastering. I believe that's what Padmapani is getting at. exactly. in a hypthetical, ideal case, the mastering engineer should only have to raise it to the desired level of loudness (and get it ready to be pressed on cd).

Veracohr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 In fact, that's what mastering originally was: producing a master disc from which records were pressed. The mastering engineer never did processing other than applying the EQ curve that vinyl records are made with. Later on mastering engineers started doing some processing, which is more appropriately called "pre-mastering". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliendna99 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes all i do in wavelab these days is increasing rms and limiting, then dither and convert to 44.1khz 16bit if I intend to encode an mp3 or flac. I sometimes correct antiphase, dc offset and such things but usually not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Do some of you have experience with Cubase 7 and a laptop computer? How does it perform? What specs do you have? I'm thinking about having such setup but I'm afraid about performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmagus Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Do some of you have experience with Cubase 7 and a laptop computer? How does it perform? What specs do you have? I'm thinking about having such setup but I'm afraid about performance. I have been using Cubase 7 on my laptop for a while with no major issues. I am running i7 1.60 (very old), 8GB Ram 250gb SSD drive (made loads of difference to performance) 64bit Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thank you. My only concern now if I buy a laptop is how to connect my two MOTU 24i/o interfaces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid Clan Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I produce with Cubase Elements 7. When a track is finished I export the most important parts to clips in Ableton Live :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
