Abelton Questions

[massplanck]

Actually after this im pretty sure im ditching abelton. :)

I cant make music in the manner I can make killer tracks on a piece of hardware.

The last few days were a trial run to see if I could finally come up with a system that could emulate the speed at which i can get a really good track going with my RS7000. Software is gay. Too much time spend managing this & configuring that and not enough time spent making music.

I have a certain method for making basslines. in 30 seconds I can have somthing killer going in the RS. With a PC & Abelton its more like 30 mins. And even at that it never sits right.. abelton hasnt got the funk for me.

are you referring to the yamaha rs 7000?
i'm about to purchase either an electribe sx or an rs 7000, which one would you recommend? my main interest is to make it easier to craft beats, to lay down rhytms extremely quick and change the patterns on the fly

i want some direct contact with the patterns, i truly despise the mouse

i dont get it... it sounds like you want to either use software & ableton, or either use hardware alone. maybe both?? fm8 and my machinedrum work great together



edit: just saw the 2nd post on cubase... does cubase do seperate groove control for each midi track... pretty handy id say. i never really use swing in ableton, coz its a bit of pain. usually just go for the hardware for that.
