I used Samplism on Mac (license version). It was very intuitive, easy and beautiful app. Now I'm back on Windows since a while and I use almost ADSR Sample Manager. Very similar...and totally free.
Im sorry but what you said about "Cosmos" is not true. It is ofcourse DAW integrated. At least the coresponding sampler "CR8" from Waves is. It is a feature rich sampler plugin thats capable of everything you could whish for. There is a "browse" button which will open up "Cosmos" for you to pick a sample. (Although I have to admit that the sampler should have been called "Cosmos", like the manager.)
i'd like to share a favorite melody & bass writing method. i call it "streamlining". #1) you play a melody/bass with as many notes as you "feel" like playing. #2) decide on just 1x note to take out & see if the line still "works", either by keeping the vibe or matches your vocal/syllable/melodic math, etc. #3) repeat step #2, over & over again UNTIL the "structural integrity" of the line no longer holds up. stop removing notes once the idea becomes compromised & now, you should be left with "all the right notes"
Bro ... 2:37 when you say its pretty quick for house music ..... why dont you just go with the common / standard methods so we can properly apply it lol. Like why go with 130 when you could go with a way more common bpm lol.
I see a good amount of melodic techno/peak techno material with some sub genre of house thrown in EDMProd. I was wondering why subgenres of trance/mainstage that incorporate techno elements are not featured? (here is an example of what i am referring to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rUB0tufmQi4.html ). Perhaps it doesn't matter, and it's just about finding the right sounds? The mixing and mastering is almost the same?
Can you please cover this genre in your next 3 hour masterclass on the likes of anomalie, haywire, tom misch etc Ex: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HMwwTpESuLM.htmlsi=EmL3bTggleVs__ci
My option is to keep velocity on the volume, if I want to modulate and randomize a parameter, I can do it withh the random tools in the instrument or with Expression control of M4L ;)
in Digitalis plugin when you drawing it just remove the frequency , if you put this plugin on the master then drawing ur name for example then open any spectrum analyzes you will see ur name in it
As someone who has no music background as such, I have learnt what little I know from videos on here. This is a particularly relevant tutorial for me and even with my lack of knowledge thought it was one of the best I’ve seen on this subject. Thank you for posting, it’s cleared up some questions I had.
I'm using atlas which does automatic sample tagging and only uses file and directory names as hints (which you cant finetune the relevance of). I have 1000 congas/djembes identified as 'clave', 'snare' or 'hi hat'.. Likewise there is a ton of vocal shots which go as 'Kick'. I recently added a hi hat only sample package and suddenly I had lots of new 'cowbells'. So my point is incomplete but proper tagging is better than automatic but misleading tagging.
Good luck! Ableton won’t tell you anything about how it works. Their website even demos patches they don’t give you as presets with the Granulator III pack.
i would suggest trying a synclavier emulation, as a reghen owner i'de love to see you compare algorythme type of fm, and synclavier type. i'm learning the unit but i;'m not shure i can cvross mod partials to create more complex fm "algorythmes", i'de love to see someone confortable with fm talk about this. it seems to me that a yam fm synth doesnt have a larger panel of sounds and textures than a syclavier engine... thoughts ?
