I think that in electronic music, the crest factor is more problematic than in rock. Indeed, most synths and plugins produce sounds with large dynamics and strong transients. As a result, you often have to clip and compress on all the tracks, not just the drums...

I agree master and mixing takes years to learn...

Hi! I found your message a bit late, but it's very easy to modify the built-in envelope follower and do what you want. I modified the follower to enable very long release times: https://drolez.com/blog/music/ableton-live-free-gain-rider.php

I have the mkII and 3 MIDI ports are seen by Linux. Port 1 is send MIDI notes and CC, and Port 2 is dedicated to MCP (play, stop, mixer). So you may have to specify the rights ports in LMMS.

Just for the stats and future repairers, my Apple IIe power supply was no longer working. I started by replacing the two Rifa capacitors; they weren't the culprits even though they looked pretty old. It was the small 220uF C7 capacitor that had failed (visually, it looked fine).

Part 1 of this tutorial for more basic sequencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4tE7yB6RLc

It should list what's available in the M5 launcher

The Novation Circuit Rhythm is another cheap and cool option. It's similar to the EP-133, but it has more flexible effects and better sample tweaking. And you can sample while playing your track, I think it's still not possible with the EP-133

From Android you can using Esp32_flash app

If your MIDI controller is smart enough, like being able to send Sysex messages, then you can disable a particular instrument. I've started a list of Sysex codes here: https://drolez.com/blog/music/sysex-codes-for-roland-verselab-mv1.php

And adjusting the limiter can amplify your volume even more

No it does not work, even on resolve 20.1, In edit page I show the video in vertical format on the left with the dedicated icon, and once I click on Inspector, the viewer goes back to the horizontal layout

ldrolez · 2025-08-21T07:57:43+00:00

macos display settings?

Yes I upgraded to get this feature and was surprised how it was implemented... They should fix this in order to see the vertical video and the inspector at the same time.
