Again: very very helpful! It also sounds a lot like what I am going through, I switched from Cubase to Tracktion as well, threw out all the stuff I don't need and am trying to set up a small but effective setup.sonicsmurf wrote:Slacknote wrote: I want things to remain compact and simple, otherwise I would not have switched from Cubase to Tracktion. My story was that my creativity and joy for making music was pretty much ruined over the years -- simply because I worked with all these things that gave me thousands of possibilities all the time. But I have learned that if I find compact concepts, the results are way better.
I was talking about the aud send and returns in Tracktion itself, but appearently you're not using them.
As for the Ruffrider kit, I tried to get it to work in a demo version of BS-1 but so far I've only managed to get the cymbals working. The rest produced some weird clicks, is it me or the demo version of BS-1? Will try again later.
Again your approach appeals to me!
Very interesting! You know it's funny, when I played in bands for years, seems like we were always yelling at the drummers, they were wandering off the beat... trying to keep it consistant... because well, they're human, and it's damn tough to keep perfect time! Now, doing everything electronically, and actually trying to simulate some looseness into the "perefect" timing the computer does automatically! Ironic, I think... But honestly, my point of view is: it's electronic music, so synced beats are O.K. with me... as long as they're interesting and rythmically complex... sort of: "the din of the noisy world around us"... In an interesting arrangement. Melodic or otherewise.
