apyssjw Anytime. It caught my ear right away, nice sound design on that one.

    Unbroken1 how did you get on? It’s 40% off at the moment which is tempting me.

      If you need samples, these are good quality, I find they sit really well in the mix. Sale is on until Monday and EGG-15 code is good for 15 euros off with no minimum (meaning some packs would be free).

      I bought trackspacer, as it’s on offer again. Not used it a great deal (mainly because I’ve got a weird ear infection at the moment which has taken all the bass out of my left ear) but can see that it’ll be particularly helpful in mixing with full drum sample loops. That you can isolate frequencies within the loop to duck the other track - effectively isolating the kick snare high hat etc, obviating the need to slice up a loop which I would have done before to isolate the various elements.

        Pete B has posted this up in which he’s used one of the tracks he signed to his label as the first track

        apyssjw …can’t recall who asked about this earlier in the thread but its great, use it loads, find it particularly useful for high-end melodies/strings etc,

          apyssjw …apologies, realize I didn’t reply about the Reason/Bassline Generator thing.

          It’s really clever, inspired me to pretty much finish one track right off the bat, but to be honest its not been as transformational as I’d expected for 2 reasons… the first being, I feel like it’s really excellent for certain types of track, ones where the baseline is really dominant, and I’ve found that when I write tracks from scratch, starting with the bassline can be a bit of a creative cue-de-sac.

          Second and biggest issue is not being able to use Reason Rack Plug-in natively on my M1 MBP. I can switch to opening with Rosetta for the purposes of using the Bassline Generator, but then can’t put synths like Diva through it. I can use Reason to spit out the midi then restart Live natively, but you can’t audition then full range of sounds while you are messing with the patterns like you could if you have your fave synth open.

          Apparently M1 compatibility is coming, but I get the impression that they aren’t in a rush if you aren’t paying the subscription 🫤

              apyssjw I could do with this. Do you have a link to where it is on offer?

                  Henry I bought it from plugin boutique last week for £35 but can see it’s back up to £50. It was on at £30 in the Xmas sales so it will be discounted again but never massively.

                    Unbroken1 thanks. I missed the sale this time but may fiddle with it in the future.

                      Morty-C-137 Thanks, makes the last album sound like it was high passed. 🤣

                      We’re both quite happy with how it turned out. Slowly getting closer to the sound I’m looking for, more roots influences this time around.

                        Great stuff, hope it passes the snake-charming rumble-test.

                        Best let Edwand know it’s Dub so it doesn’t freak him out too much

                            Mad_Cyril Lol I’m sure he knows to stay away at this point. Only has himself to blame if he hasn’t learned.

                            The subs should get a work out, we sacrificed a bit of loudness for more bass on a few tracks, snakes beware.
