<p>I just bought an m-audio oxygen 8 midi controller to use with ableton. I am able to go into preferences -> midi and see it in the list of devices that are connected, but when I play notes they do not register in any VST. </p> <p>What are the settings to check for when enabling a midi controller to use to control a VST?</p>

<p>I have played a few vst's that have piano patches and they sound okay, but they do not quite fool you into thinking it is the real thing. </p> <p>Anyone know of one that stands out and sounds just like the real thing?</p>

<p>Time stretching certain accapellas has always been a pain in the ass. Some seem to stretch easily while others are frustratingly difficult. </p> <p>Ableton 8 improved their warping quite a bit, but I still seem to have problems getting certain accapellas stretched correctly. </p> <p>Does anyone have a trick or method in ableton 8 that makes warping accapellas any easier?</p>

<p>I am finally ready to really start producing. One problem is I lack money to buy a good midi controller, Ableton, maybe a good VST pack. etc. etc. </p> <p>That said, I have a Marshall JCM 900 guitar amp that I could sell on ebay for about $600 and a speaker cab I could sell for probably $300, and a Roland MC-505 I could sell for maybe $200-$300(I have never used the 505, I bought it for my band, another guy was the "beat maker" he has sinced moved to Oklahoma, but I can get it back from him. </p> <p>I want to for sure play a real guitar on tracks I produce, my only recording experience is with bands, where they mic'd my amp. If I sell my amp I won't have that. Can i record my electric guitar direct into Ableton? Is their software that can make it sound like it came out of my Marshall? Like a Line 6 or something, but not the pedal, just for recording. </p> <p>I love my Marshall, and they don't even make the 900 anymore, but it no longer gets used, and I'd rather have the money to put towards the music I am making now. </p> <p>As for the MC-505, is that worth keeping, to get sounds off of etc. or would I be better off selling it and using the money to go towards VST packages? </p> <p>Thanks</p>

<p>What are the fundamental differences between a compressor and limiter? What are the appropriate uses for each? I am still trying to learn the proper uses of both, but am still not totally clear on what makes them different. </p> <p>They both seem to boost in volume without creating distortion, but I would love to know more about when it is appropriate to use one or the other. </p> <p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I have heard a few times from random mixing tutorials on the net that a spectrum analyzer can help in the mixing process. Does anyone have any experience with using one for mixing? If so, how do you use it in the mixing process? </p> <p>Right now I do all of my mixing by ear, but the thought of being able to visualize the different frequencies and layers that I am mixing seems like it could help by allowing me to see when I have overlapping sounds that "muddy" up the mix. </p>

<p>Hi, I'm using Ableton and Reason 4 for producing.. I tried producing cool basslines.. but everything I'm coming with is working with trance or techno.. not progressive house. :/</p> <p>Help :)</p>

<p>I have been trying to figure out how to add that "pumping" side chain compression that I hear in a lot of dance tracks, but have not quite figured out to get it to sound right. </p> <p>I am using ableton 8, and I see the sidechain button on the compressor, but that is where I get lost. I map it to a 4/4 drum pattern that I have created, but it just doesn't sound right. I can hear the kick and I am not hearing my bass sound change in any way. </p> <p>Anyone happen to know how to achieve this? Thanks!</p>
