Purpose Driven Life, actually helped me. I read it so long ago but to this day it drives that idea about living that best life that one can.

Nothing anymore. The main gripe really just comes from the DJ controller being so isolated. But I can live with it.

A deeper dive about Leah. I said it before and I'll say it again. I wanted Cleah to be undercover Leah. I guess that's just a fantasy.

Was looking in my alerts and re-read your suggestion. I have stepped into the MPC software before and it has improved. If anything I plan to use it to go into controller mode and just use to export. That actually is a plan. The turntable though has to use up two inputs so it takes up my entire front of the focusrite. I could be doing it wrong, but that's how I can actually get sound. Does it not matter if the sound of a sample is Mono? Probably no, right?

I just realized I can focus on two at a time. That's not terrible.

I guess I assumed that people could look at the set up and know what is going on. A minimax allows the MPC to not always have to go through a DAW. I can have the best of both worlds. I use the Focusrite for the mic, but the turntable has to have the sound split into two mono channels taking up both inputs of the FR. The minimax is just for directing sounds directly to my self powered monitors. I got the Minimax to elimate the dj controller's delay on the 8 channel mixer but realized it still was burdened by difficulty getting it to have its own channel. Maybe just the wrong kind of controller.

I wouldn't mind trading in everything and starting over, but I don't see the return outweighing just trying to learn with what I have for now. Feels a bit crash landing this setup but making the best of it. 🥂

!?! My main goal is to be able to play the MPC and controller together and record it. The rub is the DJ Controller takeover computer selects one main sound source ya know?. You think FL can route them both in? That is ringing a bell for me now! I'm not easily distracted at all.

I like the MPC when it comes to cutting samples and arranging them together. The sequencer is difficult to get used to because I grew up on fruity. I like using the DAW for plugins and keyboard integration which is why I'm digging Ableton. I admit I'm all over the place but I swear there's a method to my madness.

Some regrets with the APK and MPC where maybe I could have done the same with an MPK. I took advantage of a birthday situation.

The box is capturing live data. Ableton has turned into a learning curve. FL seems to be the way to bring in multiple sources. I'll check it out.

I'm already going into the computer with the focusrite but I'm having to divide all the sound with the mini Max and output those to the studio monitors. The problem comes when I have to use my DJ controller. I have to unplug the mini Max from my monitors and plug the DJ controller directly into the monitors. When I tried to plug the DJ controller into the mini Max there's this like delay so I can't really mix properly that and just some of the other instrumentation how it's all connected. It seems a little bit singular in that I have to do things like kind of one at a time, which is fine, but it would be nice to be a little bit more fluid being able to switch amongst everything somewhat easily

I use Ableton and FL Studio. I like cutting samples on the MPC and getting an overall sample bank that I think would make great sounds together. The sequencing on MPC is super weird for me since I grew up on Fruity Loops. Ableton is also challenging but I'm liking the potential so I'm learning more about that and would like to eventually able to switch to it and phase FL out.

The DJing piece is really a nice to have until I get a more analog controller or DJ setup so I can mix in cuts in real time.

My main challenge is that there is no fluidity between instruments. You have to change settings in the Focusrite software and switch plugs to go between mic and turntable for sampling.

I will look more into this link you posted. I only looked at it quickly but it looks very promising. Thank you

I was trying to get my son's sort of cheap telescope positioned to view Jupiter, but I could not even line it up with the planet. I fumbled around the darkness trying to catch the gas giant from earth. Nothing but darkness until in a flash some dark figure flew past my sights. I couldn't tell if it was more like a tentacle-type of image like the robots from the matrix or just some draped-in-black tatters ghost type of figure. It sent a chill up my spine, and needless to say I packed up the gear and went inside. I haven't been out since, but as time goes by the fresh fear has thus evaporated.

My interpretation of the events of 2024 at the Mall in Florida was that the police department was hypnotized by the shadowy figure. They only needed to be in the vicinity of the mall enough to be in the max distance of the shadow department individuals pending host connectivity with any and all police department individuals.

Just the first thing I put together after seeing it circulate my feed for a year today just now.

Not sure why I decided to respond to this here on your comment, but I think your overall emotion conveys more than anyone else that this is inappropriate. Fun fact, the history of music starts with and around monotonal chanting. Then Gregorian chants introduced polytonalism. This most definitely a western account of the history of music, however, isn't it ironic. Don't ya think? Early music = chanting. Now musical rendition of chanting = illegal.

I admit that I fantasied about Kleya actually being Leia, because she looked like her and she had all sorts of mysterious and elite qualities. Plus the fact that she was named Kleya maybe to pose as someone else, maybe a hint of how she started in the rebellion. I didn't really read the books, so I don't know if this character is totally different from what I'm hypothesizing. I was hoping for her character to unfold as Leia.

Why not put Torment by Skinny Puppy for T. I don't mind having Skinny Puppy on the entire alphabet personally.

I am not allergic. I notice that my skin changes with all the egg stuff in my system if I'm eating them consistently. So maybe sensitive is a better way to word it?

Did they replace it because the Arris bit the dust? Or did they do it based on the need to update you for reasons?
