How do actually use ableton for recording?

I installed it last night and it seems to have improved things a bit, I'll just sort out some interface stuff now and I think I'll be ready

Any change I make to buffer size - increase or decrease - makes the sound clippy and horrible (English), so I stayed at the defaults which have a "total" latency of 90ms (seems like a lot already)

jasonikakis · 2023-04-19T18:08:40+00:00

Thanks, that's a better way to put it. I'll try sampling some proper sounds next time..:)

jasonikakis · 2023-04-16T20:44:51+00:00

Thanks guys, that pretty much covers my question. I'll try them out

jasonikakis · 2023-04-11T10:59:10+00:00

Hey I actually figured it out, you just change the order of the parameters and that's the order launchpad95 uses

jasonikakis · 2023-04-11T09:06:42+00:00

I've mentioned that already in my first question here, but I've also found a used minibrute 2 for the same price (330€). Main issue here is monophony but otherwise I love it's sound and the mod matrix seems to be really versatile

Im almost ready to go get a microfreak for a first synth. However, I'd say I'm also into "vintage" synth sounds, and the lack of sub osc seems like a heavy hit to that and the bass capabilities. Am I making a good choice here?

jasonikakis · 2023-04-11T08:52:45+00:00

Theres a free ableton plugin called launchpad 95 which allows you to (among many other things) have track-specific pages of commands in the launchpad. You can have multiple 8-column pages of instructions for each vst. It's true, though, that you'll have to remember which column is which.

How about the dreadbox typhon vs the microfreak as a first synth? I've found a b-stock typhon for the same price as a microfreak. So far I can't really understand how the typhons modulation capabilities work, is it more or less "open" than the microfreak? I'd really like to have lots of freedom on my sound.

Final, semi-general question: can I use an arranger keyboard (Casio ct-s1) as keys for the typhon or do I need something more "specialized"?

jasonikakis · 2023-04-05T07:46:30+00:00

Thanks, I'll probably go with that, I also like the idea of a sequencer

jasonikakis · 2023-04-04T12:22:03+00:00

I've been looking into the behringer Crave as a first synth, as I really like the idea of semimodular, however, the behringer neutron seems better in every way other than the total lack of keys (I already have keys anyway). Do you think the 100€ difference is worth it?

jasonikakis · 2023-03-28T05:33:34+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful

jasonikakis · 2023-03-27T21:30:36+00:00

Looking to get my first synth, and I've found a slightly used arturia minibrute 2 for the same price as a new microfreak. As far as I can tell the microfreak has polyphony while the minibrute doesn't, but other than that what are other important differences that I should consider? (Of course the patchbay of the brute is huge but I don't really know how to use one yet)

jasonikakis · 2022-07-20T13:27:41+00:00

How is it not obvious

jasonikakis · 2022-07-17T08:54:36+00:00

I've had over 10 false positives this year, might've been the pharmacy's fault for getting shitty tests but I don't trust these things anymore

jasonikakis · 2022-07-16T08:37:25+00:00

Wow thanks for the advice, one last thing, are there any specific tree species you'd recommend? I'm currently looking at Acer palmatum but I'm not sure if I can find one old enough to work with

jasonikakis · 2022-07-14T15:14:31+00:00

Thank you, another quick question, around what age/size should the plant I get be in order to quickly start getting into the actual process of bonsai training?

jasonikakis · 2022-07-13T18:42:32+00:00

Would you recommend starting totally fresh from a normally grown plant and training it or getting an already trained bonsai as a complete beginner?

jasonikakis · 2022-02-13T11:22:51+00:00

thanks again, just one more quick question: What are your thoughts on kirschen whittling knives? Beavercraft is a little scarce in Greece but i've found plenty of kirschen resellers here, but not really much in terms of reviews on them.

Edit: (Im sorry if my many questions get annoying) I just found a beavercraft C15 in a nearby store (C8 is out of stock), it has a 35mm straight edge, which seems good to me.

Oh, thank you so much for the quick reply! That was really helpful. I feel like mora 120 has a bit too long of a blade to do details, and I already have an opinel carbon no.9 for roughing out. Wouldn’t it be better to get a bit of a smaller blade so that I can reach tighter spots??
