Re: talking about sick drum fill ins

Am I the only one that thinks this fill in is awesome? Which fill, the original or the cover (they are not the same fill…)? ;) Thought I'd dig into my otherwise useless drum training and transcribe the two fills showing the differences. Also, note that the first fill uses two toms, the second uses ...

Re: Thinking of buying RoughRider RE, talk me out of it...

Well there you go, I used the same exact audio source and found them to be unexpectedly close to spot on, to the point I'm OK admitting I could be fooled in a blind test. I'll live. I expected them to be very close, or you wouldn't have posted the combinator. So I think something went wrong in the ...

Re: Thinking of buying RoughRider RE, talk me out of it...

If you're feeling like it, load up this combinator and hit the "swap" button a few times while listening (I used drums, if that matters). Thanks for your effort. I tried it on the default drum-loop in OctoRex, and with the settings in your combi it was completely off between the "swap". Well there ...

Selig is that your home, as opposed to your meticulously set up studio? Plz allow a little room for us mortals jeez... It is my home studio. FWIW, this is the FIRST time in my 62 years to have my kit at home fully setup and ready to record. This has been my dream since my 20s, and only took 40 year...

Re: Thinking of buying RoughRider RE, talk me out of it...

As I said I can get close (but no sigar) with C1-L1 or RE-160. DCAM ChannelComp goes completely nuclear as well. If you have other suggestions, please share. …….. I think RoughRider is more exciting than others, for where it shines. The same goes for every other RE compressor I have. I'm not having...

Re: Thinking of buying RoughRider RE, talk me out of it...

It’s unique feature IMO is it’s extreme range of settings compared to most compressors. My only complaint is the LP filter on the entire signal path, dry signal included, with no way to bypass. It’s ‘sound’, other than the filter, can come from the extreme range of settings, otherwise there is no sp...

Re: Arturia Announcement Today April 9 6pm CEST/12 noon EST

It’s actually $1599 USD. Competitively priced with the cheaper versions of flagship keyboards. It's anywhere from $1599 to $2199 online, $1999 is what is quoted on the Arturia site - not sure which price to use so picked the one on the Arturia site (which is currently sold out fwiw)!

Re: Arturia Announcement Today April 9 6pm CEST/12 noon EST

It's more like Nord Wave than Nord Stage and Nord Wave has never been hugely popular, probably because of the price. Maybe the street price of the Arturia one will get it closer to where I think it ought to be. Maybe they're planning an Astrolab 25 to hit a lower price bracket. All interesting stuf...

Re: reason 12 restarts my machine every half hour

You say "the machine" resets, not "Reason crashes the machine" - is this correct? Is Reason ever the only app running when this happens? You could also try to downgrade Reason to 10 on the machine giving you the problems – 'eliminate the variables' troubleshooting stating point. I don't know windows...

Re: Arturia Announcement Today April 9 6pm CEST/12 noon EST

I don’t know a lot about Maschine from NI, but isn’t that similar to Astrolab? Interesting thought about a flagship, since this is priced way lower than most flagship synths today there is room to add a bigger screen and more editing power and physical control of patches. I think the interface is f...

Re: (World) Melody Advice Needed

I remember being in high school band and learning the adage “if you can sing it, you can play it”. When we first learned a new piece, our directors would have us sing it through first, THEN play it. It worked, someone singing it connected the melodies (or rhythms for us percussionists) at some deepe...

I really thought RS would have done this with elk like they were showing off a few years ago. Native Instruments should’ve done this by now as well. As simple as this keyboard is, it’s genius! The stage intended keyboard market is pretty boring compared to what software can do and this is a step in...

Re: open source millitary percussion beats available?

Drumline for me was about the thrill of a large group in perfect (or close!) sync, the power of ‘many’ making the sound of ‘one’. I will admit I don’t watch drumline/drum corps videos myself, so it was more about the powerful experience for me than the actual music being presented. It actually taug...
