GROUP BUY: Ocean Way & Drum Masters Ultimate Studio Drum Bundle!

[standalone]

Whats the easiest smallest midi recording platform? I need one specifically for the GB package plus some other soft synths. I already have an audio recording platform but it won't do midi (Harrison Mixbus). Audacity doesn't do midi. Would Garageband be okay? Reaper might be too big as is Logic. Sorry if off topic.

Maybe MULAB could be good for you. There is a free version you can try and the complete version is not expensive either.

Check the MUTOOLS forum here in KvR for more information.

Yikes! February would be better so most of us can build up some more cash after the crazy Christmas and New Years Eve spendings

ditto.

Alright, we'll stretch it out a few more weeks for you guys. But normally the coupons expire within 30 days. We might be able to make them closer to 60 days and even give you the coupons now if you've joined. We'll work on that and let you know.

If you can give the details of the coupons, I'll post them on the other forums I am spamming. ...or did I miss it somewhere?

BTW, this was funny!

I probably skipped your post thinking it was just spam! Haha. Just kiddin'

They each have over 25 kits and while some of them are in this group buy you will all get a $99 off coupon on either of them... which would essentially make this group buy FREE (if you were going to get either of those two volumes ever anyway... normally without a coupon saving you over 50% off the list price which is $229!). But the fact that you can use the coupon TWICE ($99 off Volume 1 and $99 off Volume 2 as well if you want) means that if you were ever going to get both volumes you'd be not only getting this bundle with OWD kits and hybrid kits for free but also saving another hundred bucks... all by joining this group buy.

Squids - I know you recently mentioned that the coupons would expire in January (you have since extended that), but I guess I was confused by this quote from you back on page 17 of the thread where you seemed to use the word ever a few times, which I inferred meant that the coupons were available for a longer period of time. Perhaps I'm reading something wrong and it is a simple misunderstanding, could you clarify what you were trying to say back in this quote?

Thanks,

The easiest, simplest (and available these days for $10-20) is -- don't laugh -- probably Kinetic 2 (for PC only). I can recommend Reaper (as the evaluation price is FREE, there's nothing to lose in at least trying it) but would caution that it's not the easiest to just pick up and start playing with. FLStudio might be another good one for a newbie (though not completely intuitive, but it's got a free demo) and of course I cut my teeth on an old copy of Opcode Vision and (later) Cakewalk Home Studio, and of course SIDPlayer before that, so I'm more of a fan of the old school sequencer anyway. Project 5 was a great little sequencing program, too, until Cakewalk killed it.

I started with Opcode Vision too! And after all this time, I still haven't found a MIDI I like as well as I liked Vision. Loved it! And I was fast on it too!

Vision was AWESOME. And so stable on my Mac Powerbook 190cs (25mHz processor, 8MB Ram, boyeeeee!!!). I switched to MOTU Freestyle (the wonderful MIDI sequencer that was supposed to adapt to you just playing into it by guessing your tempo and time-signature) and that was kinda fun too.

Mine was a 1991 Mac Classic. Now my phone has 10 times the processing power! But it did the job.

Garageband is reasonably competent. The midi editing is not excellent but you can do quite a few things things. It's probably worth trying before you shell out on something else.

I was going to paste all the info here but its a bit long. You can change pitch, position, velocity, copy, cut paste, delete notes etc. There's also Quantization called 'fix timing' that I think snaps to the grid you have displayed, quite a few options. I think its destructive though, not like Logic, so you have to undo it if you don't like it.

Open up garageband and search for edit midi in the help menu...

Me too. Loved that program, and then StudioVision Pro.

I think Digital Performer is the closest to StudioVision than any of the other DAWs. I would strongly recommend it.

When I had to move on from StudioVision Pro, I tried ProTools for a few years and never warmed up to it. I tried to learn it and love it, but it just continued to rub me the wrong way, and then Digidesign rubbed me the wrong way and I decided to leave them for good.

Digital Performer is so similar to Vision, that it feels as if I am just working in a 2009 version of StudioVision Pro.

Okay, we've got the extras for 400. You ready?

• Over 100 more midi grooves from ODD GROOVES courtesy of Per! He can talk more about those but it is a taste from each of his sets of odd time signature and more complex grooves than you normally see.

• A mystery extra Signature Snare from a famous drummer - I shall reveal which one and who it is soon. Aha!

• Ocean Way Drums Kit 10 Medium that normally comes free only for the OWD Expandable Player... we'll let you have an Infinite Player version of it to add to your set up (so that makes it 13 mix kits total from OWD)

• FIFTY Hybrid Kits featuring mix and match kit pieces from the kits in this bundle including "album ready" mixes with built-in processing, hard rock in your face drums to polished pop sounds to aggressive Metal, Hip Hop and more.

Great stuff Squids. Looking forward to all of it! Adding the extra Ocean Way Drumkit was a good idea. I'm pleased.

I moved to PC - one of the few that went the other way. So DP isn't an option for me. I use Acid Pro, and overall I'm happy with it. It's stable and I know how to use it. I just miss Vision's MIDI editing.

I found Cakewalk's SONAR to be very comparable to Vision in terms of MIDI editing (obviously, this was like SONAR v2) but they kind of require you to spend $189 every year or two to keep it up to date. I moved to Reaper, invested some time in it, and haven't looked back... Spending $60 every two full versions doesn't seem like such a bad deal

And in regards to the 400-GB-sign-up bonuses: WORD!!!!!!

[Reverend Rhythm]

Yeah, I guess we've had enough nostalgia. On to the new and better!

That does look great its 1st on my list after a short test with garageband. Thanks, standalone.

I can recommend Reaper (as the evaluation price is FREE, there's nothing to lose in at least trying it) but would caution that it's not the easiest to just pick up and start playing with.

Project 5 was a great little sequencing program, too, until Cakewalk killed it.

Thank you too, I'll look these over. The last time I was on a computer for music was when I upgraded from Cubase 1 to 2.0. (1995?) I had no prob with sequencing\midi then but now I have no time so have to go lean lean lean. Reaper still holds my interest just based on the company.

Definately will do, thanks.

I hear you, DP is where I'd kinda like to be (or Nuendo) but it's already hurting my brain. I'll give it a look but the cost will probably prohibit my adopting it, at least for now. But Thanks.



to all!
