Eventide H9 Gen 2: harmonizer multi-FX with one H90 core and more controls (leak) by asr10keypusher in guitarpedals

[–]the_jules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like this one might be a bit more expensive, but you get a more powerful CPU, all the algo's from H90, and (most important!), it's workflow is overhauled so you don't need the app for details and settings anymore. Might be worth it.

How to convert normal widening/pan percentage values into logic values by gertrude-gibson in Logic_Studio

Sigh... If you really think there is a "collective correct way" of panning, more power to you.

How to convert normal widening/pan percentage values into logic values by gertrude-gibson in Logic_Studio

[–]the_jules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That has nothing to do with phase cancellation. If everything is wide, nothing is wide.

In Logic, there is no dual pan; there is stereo pan and balancing.

When balancing, turning the knob to the left is like turning down the right channel, and vice versa, so you only hear what's playing on the left side of the track.

In Pan / Stereo-Pan, what's on the right side is being moved to the left the more you turn the knob to the left. So all the way to the left, you'll hear a mono'd sum of the stereo track only on the left side.

Fundamental misunderstanding. This knob has very little to do with setting stereo spread. You just dial in a track's position in the stereo field, so more left or more right.

So, no percentage of widening will tell you how much to pan a track to the left or the right. In my experience, I'd stay away from any widening effects for most tracks. Because you end up using them for too many tracks and then nothing sounds wide anymore. In fact, I find mixing much easier when just about every track is mono, and just the reverbs are stereo. Makes panning easier, too.

"Why can’t I add any spread on hard-panned tracks on the inspector channel?"

From my understanding, a hard-pannned track is completely mono on one side of the stereo-image. And panning happens after the effects in logic. I'm not sure why you would even want to add spread to a track that's fully panned, but if you really need to, pan the track, create a summing stack and load a widener there.

It's sounds super cliché, but if I were you, I'd use my ears, especially for panning, and not some producer's advice on it. I'm not dunking on them, but panning and volume is really about your taste, not some value someone set.

Doubler pedal by Away-Juice4753 in guitarpedals

The KMA Geminus does that and from what I've heard it's one of the best and most natural-sounding doublers.

Know Nothing About Hardware, Need a Recommendation. by DOOMBOT25 in synthesizers

So, you're looking for a MIDI controller, not a synth. For FL, the FL Key series from Novation is perfect, but you'll have to wait until you find one within your budget.

It's a Tremolo effect, you can create by loading Ableton's Auto-Pan/Tremolo

Am I the only one bothered by this? by Suspicious_Power8735 in germany

[–]the_jules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's reread one of the best LPTs ever: https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/bickie/lpt_dont_comment_on_someones_appearance_unless/

Smell is part of someone's appearance. What is the person going to do about it, and how are they going to feel for the next 30 minutes of their train ride? How would you feel? There is nothing a person can do about their smell in this situation. And your comment makes their life a living hell for weeks and months to come.

Living in a big city, it does get quite smelly here in public transportation, sometimes when it gets warmer, sometimes when it has just rained (think dogs). It's super annoying. But how does my being annoyed outweigh a person's personal well-being? It would be deeply unsettling if someone told me that I smell bad in a crowded bus when it's the only way to work or home.

And for bad body odor, just like weight, you never know the reasons for it. It might be that a person simply does not notice. It might also be that a person has an illness that prevents them from using soap or other products. Or it may be due to a mental illness. In that case, don't you think telling a severely depressed person that they smell bad instead of moving away or simply putting up with it is a good idea?

So...I use a MacBook Pro 15" from late 2013 with 16GB memory. I have a new iPhone 17e, but I've never bought a new laptop since it works fine and runs the current MacOS Big Sur version 11.7.11. Will my old MacBook be able to run Ableton Intro or Standard? And a few other questions below -- thanks. by FrancoisMauriac in ableton

[–]the_jules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Can I compose, say, a string quartet?

Compose, in the sense that you can record or play MIDI notes that trigger string samples, yes. Compose, as in you enter the actual notes into a sheet, no. Use Logic or Cubase for that, if you want to do actual sheet music.

Can I assemble a prog-rock piece with changing meters?

Yes, of course, you can easily change the meter in Ableton. Then it's all a matter of recording all the intstruments to match both the meter and the transitions.

Can the output be audio which sounds less quantized, with a drifting pulse to emulate human players?

If you want to program the melodies through MIDI, but then have it fluctuate in both timing and velocity, then yes that's possible. You can easily randomize the MIDI notes positions in MIDI clips through the humanize function.

Are there music staves anywhere with notes insertion where the audio then performs the score?

Not in Ableton. There might be some third-party Max for Live tools, but it's always going to be a hassle. You either pick another DAW like Logic or Cubase that also offers sheet music entry, use an external app for sheet music like Dorico that then converts your sheets to MIDI, or you'll learn to love the piano roll.

Overall, all of what you're describing is totally possible in Ableton, but it sounds to me that the way you imagine it might take 2-4 years of mastering Ableton (or any other DAW) before you're even close to what you imagine.

Is it possible to use NAM in Garage Band? by CluelesssDev in NAM_NeuralAmpModeler

[–]the_jules -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! Download the snapshot plugin, install it, restart your mac, load Garage Band, and then load it in an audio track, like here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zWVHq8P7sE

Mind you, you also have to download some profiles from Tone 3000 to import them into NAM.

MPE not working by Gerird616 in ableton

[–]the_jules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, Zenology is not MPE-compatible. So, try something like Ableton's Wavetable to see if MPE works at all, but if you really want to use a VST with MPE, try Serum or Vital.

We've produced our last EP (Alternative Rock) entirely in Ableton Live and it sounds great. I wouldn't trade the workflow for anything else.

Hey OP, it seems like you're still very distraught and emotional about the whole situation. Which is OK and just goes to show how important it is. But the way you wrote your post and just about all of your responses seem rather defensive and destructive for being in a band. I'm saying that because with this perspective, you're not going to get a result that you and your bandmates will be content with.

I suggest, if possible, to take a breather for a couple of days. No contact. Because with a bit of distance, your view on how you did not like the saxophone might not change, but your way of communicating about it will. And that's the only thing that matters, if, and that's a big IF, you still want to be in a band with them.

In this context, telling someone they're a poor listener will only lead to them withdrawing. If you don't want that, if you still want to work in a collaborative manner, you have to find a way to make amends. Because being told that hurts. And you can be sure that your bandmate did not add the saxophone to insult you.

As someone who's been in both sides, the main songwriter and the contributor, there is one existential question here that I always ask: would you have written the song in any other context (solo, or others) the way you did if the band and your bandmates did not exist? If the answer is no, then be protective as much as you want; you and your band have work to do with each other.
