  1. I think these days if you're gonna use a 24s sample then you need to chop it up and flip it to be honest. This has to be hardest part of production IMHO. Sometimes a sample sounds so good as a loop it's impossible to imagine it any other way (something I really struggle with).

     

    As far as using plugins goes - I think there's benefit to trying to make the beat as good as you can without effects. Sometimes using effects draws you away from focusing on the simple things like chopping, filtering and mixing the samples as best you can.

     

    All this said, my beats are shite so I'd take my comments with a substantial helping of salt. The most important thing is to just keep doing your thing and have fun!

     

    PS. I'm at work so can't check the sample but I've sampled 10CC myself before so can't wait to get home and see if you've used the same one!

     

    Peace

  2. The thing is the signal path we're testing here is mixer to amp since we've turned the channel fader down to 0. Oh, the session and mic channels should be a 0 too. So, the signal is passing through 1 wire. This suggests that it's nothing to do with the way things are wired. IMHO It's about the 08's inability to add significant gain to a signal without adding ten tons of filthy white noise.

     

    Anyway, thanks for taking the time to test it out mang, that's helped me out a lot.

  3. "has mpc swing timing built into the unit"

     

    Eh?

     

    Is it me or does it sound like Akai are speaking shit again. Anybody have any idea how this shit's supposed to work? Surely the controller can only control the swing/quantize settings of the sequencer it's controlling, YA GET ME BLAD?

  4. I don't know enough about computers to know the differences between Mac's and PC's. I expect the vast majority of people are the same. This pretty much leaves most of us open to exploitation from th computer companies. All I do know is that I've got 2 mates who love computers, work in the industry and obtained a relating degree from Uni. They soley use PC's and the don't rate Mac's. Makes me wonder....

  5. My bro's got the Indigo Redback. Fucking mental synth man. I think the KC is pretty much the C with some shit that lets you control paramaters with your computer. Quite why anybody would want to do that is beyond me.

     

    I recommend you get either a Virus C or a Lead 3. Novation Bass stations/Novas/Supernovaz really aren't in the same league to be honest.
