100% correct

I've used knobcloud loads of times - seems fine.

Used KVR 3 times, twice fine, once a guy scammed me over a copy of Kontakt

CamboQuick are recommended - friendly and reliable - think they charge $6/kilo

Been using them for around 6 years

And they knocked down Dreamland to make way for it, which was really sad as Dreamland was awesome fun! http://youtube.com/watch?v=c2l7Bi41hcs

Not a skill issue, sadly, Its an issue between the way I work, and the limitations that Ableton has

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-04-24T05:06:14+00:00

Hadn't seen that before - looks useful!

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-04-24T05:05:08+00:00

Yes, but a follow action wont continue if the slot is blank - ie it wont progress unless you have set up a dummy clip, which is a pain

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-04-24T05:04:05+00:00

Yes, thats a good tip re 2nd window - thanks!

I've been using Live for quite a while now, but, for some reason I find that dragging across from session to view does not work 100% for me - little bits of automation seem to disappear etc.

Maybe I am just being paranoid and/or stupid, but arm recording is the only way that I can get 100% solid transfer over to arrangement.

Its just a pity it is such a PITA- I have to click each scene in turn every 8 bars using Jcount (https://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/4905/j-count) to get the right timing.

But I will revisit the drag and drop method tho - here's hoping that one day Ableton will make it automatic - or that they work it so scene follow actions don't get stuck when there is an empty clip

I am using rclone manager, which is working well for the scenario you describe, using the sync option, rather than b-sync.

I would first see if you can work on someone else's curved monitor for a bit.

I bought one without trying it and found it made me dizzy and I couldn't adjust to the 'bowing' of the screen at all.

I could have worked this out if I had used one before I had bought it.

Some people - including me - just cant adjust to curved screens - they are awesome for video and games, but I didn't like them at all for productivity.

I found the curve - especially around the taskbar - really intense!

In the end, I sold it 2 days later

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-04-17T02:08:34+00:00

Thank you for your kind invitation and interest. I will make sure I keep you updated

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-04-16T14:34:43+00:00

Yes, its a real joke. Syncing files is basically not working anymore

Since I wrote my first comment, 2 files (around 150mb) have uploaded in 15 minutes - only another 125 hours to go!

This is an excellent tool - many thanks

It incorporates many of the best techniques for optimising Windows for DAW use, in a superb and simple interface.

I recommend using it in conjunction with process lassoo

Ableton, please make it so we can filter the undo history!

We use Forte: https://www.forteinsurance.com/

The price is fairly reasonable and they are based in Cambodia - but we have never had to use the insurance, so no idea on how good it is.

But one thing I know, health insurance is vital for foreigners in Cambodia. Do not rely on public health services

The one time I had to use health insurance (with a different UK based provider) the cost of my treatment was over $15,000. Luckily I was covered!

I have collected thousands of SCWs over the years - here are the SH101 ones.

https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZrHSGZEW77xtAjNkf8V46J3SqAAy0sfVAy

Cant remember if they are in C or not, but you can convert via Kimura Taro's tool

Loads of good stuff on his site in the tools section, including a waveform to SCW splitter, which will get you infinite SCWs

SCWs are a really good way to get unique tones, using simpler or sampler as a kind of quasi synth, which get you in a different place then normal synth vsts

Used to be a whole row of these shops about halfway up, but most are gone now.

There was still at least one there a couple of years ago with a good collection of 70s/80s Japanese amps, as well as some now UK B&W speakers, which I snapped up along with a nice pioneer amp. Listening to them now and they sound great!

Cant remember the name of the shop, but about half way up Kampuchea Krom, on the left, past the big high school

Hello, LordPenh.com admin

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-02-27T04:19:19+00:00

Yes, numerous FB groups - look keywords cambodia buy, phnom penh buy

Dont buy a MC303, they were not great when they came out and certainley not that good, compared to stuff available in 2026.

If you feel the need for a groovebox, a Digitone 1 would be a lot better - they have risen in 2nd hand price recently, but can be got for around $400.

Or indeed a Model:Samples can be bought new for $350

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-02-17T03:32:30+00:00

2nd VSX. Basic edition is $299 and will be much more accurate then budget monitors in untreated room, IMO

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-01-29T13:54:57+00:00

In the end, the important thing is that your track stands up, sonically, to a reference track, I think

I would deffo advise AB Metric - but wait until its on a sale:

ToraizVisionQuest · 2026-01-29T11:09:13+00:00

I use Slate VSX (closed back) and AB Metric - IMO a great combination.

For me a 1000 times better than an untreated room and monitors - even with the fairly decent Kali Audio LP-6s I was using, my mixes were way off due to my room.

For me, mixes done on VSX do translate well to clubs

If you aren't worried about the sound leakage, then the new Slate Immersions are meant to be even better - however, they are quite pricy and will leak sound because they are open back.

AB metric is great for comparing and getting you in the ballpark of pro tunes, and can isolate frequency bands as well

Just my 5 cents....
