Ashiman Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 doods,Im so embarassed about it , but... ffs, I think I buy a powermac G5... Vista Sp1 not fixes the audio disaster.. Is there anything like fruityloops worth investigating on that platform? Quote
Goblinz Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Umnn... is this the right topic? If you're using the mac then go for logic audio (no new versions are being released for the PC!). My DJ mates swear by it and often knock fruity loops as being something for amateurs. It's a bit more complicated but apparently more powerful.. G Quote
Ashiman Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 logic has step sequencer ? I know its not cheap and express version has ugly limitations. What else? I dont need much more than step sequencer and trickey LFO thingies. Quote
robert lowell Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 have you tired ableton live?i've used FL, reason, Cubase SX, ableton...ableton is the only thing i'll use now... its nice to use because you can switch between loop mode and regular tracked sequencer. live 7 works really well with outboard gear i've heard and you can route things very easily. assigning midi is very easy to use as well, click the midi map parameter button and turn the knob of what piece of gear you want to control and thats it.

Ashiman Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 well not tried ableton, but tought about it ( running FL as VST from inside ;D ) I am really, really step sequencer oriented. I want to b able to edit 1/32 th , 1/64 & stuff. It is really easy in FL, you have the 16 steps rows, you pick another row and delay every step 50% , you get 1/32... I want stuff like, triggering LFO from step sequencer ... Trigger ADSR from step sequencer... Quote
bugfight Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 it doesn't sound like it has balls... Quote

Trigger ADSR from step sequencer... heya play, my nick was in the past Fruity404.. :) hem.. i was yuoung :Pas can i say, ableton it's more, uhm.. not powerful but simple, very very simple, totally different iterface, not asbsolutly like a 'step seq', like fruity, but you can edith 1/32, 1/64, 1/128 1/1048 !? too in a midi clip, and trigger midi CC or VST as you like directly on it with env. the sampler clip it's cool too etc. i suggest you to try it.i've left fruity for ableton sice the firse relse, at that time there wans't midi in AbL, and i was on fruity from 1999, do you remeber when come out 3.1 in 2001? :) Quote
Echopraxia Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 I always hear about ableton but I never hear tracks made on it. I have used logic for about 4-5 years and have to say it is too much to think about half the time. You have to spend alot of time to make the perfect template which I never really accomplished :-[ I think its automation would be way better if you could have it for every note just by clicking the note and have a side menu show pan, adsr, eq and so on for that one particular note BUT instead of having this, it has some drum style automation that only affects that 1/16 step and not individual notes. I want sometihng I can sequence strings on and have one note fade in and one start right away on the same track but this seems like it can't be done unless you just make another track with the same sound only faded. Am I making any sense :P LONG LIVE MG 8) Quote
Ashiman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 I think I get it what you talk about, thats really easy in FL. Actually its perfect as it is , and if it could be modular phew. That would be best ever. I cant beleive there is no contender to it in macworld??? Quote
Ashiman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 ablaton is for techno vikingz ;D Quote
Ashiman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 ok guys , I think I get into logic, cause: I have main monitors, I have to accept tracks given to me for masteringthats all folks ;D Quote
Echopraxia Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Be warned. Logic has a long learning curve. But should'nt be such an issue for Boxers. I know if you have PC you can download the old 5.5 version to test it out but make sure to purchase it after ;) Emagic has had a rough ride and needs the support. Quote
Ashiman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Yup I would need some easy project file without the boutiqe stuff. If we only compare the 2 as hosts, which is better , digital performer or logic ? Quote
