303abuser …watched a bit of Tom Cosm’s stream on this earlier, that thing where it auto-cuts between linked tracks is wild

      Unbroken1 yeah there are a few things i’m looking forward to. lanes for different takes is a great idea and i love all of the random functions, especially probabilities for velocity/pressure/etc. the suite upgrade is a bit cheaper than last time too.

        …yeah, lanes, that’s it. Fucking annoying you have to turn off automation view to see them, I’ll never remember that in a million years!

        What was that function where it cut between the different lanes based on a user set pattern? sounded mad

          Unbroken1 i’ll have to look again, but it has something to do with that link function i think or maybe the new “jump” follow action?

            Got an email from Ableton offering 20% early bird which I will go for.

            30 minute overview of the new features with Petrichor here:

            Looks really good. Can use MPE with Push 2 which is a bonus. Hybrid Reverb and scale option for clips also big pluses that I can see myself using a fair bit.

            Also got an early bird invite for the upgrade with 20% which is a no brainer. 😀

              Henry Also got an early bird invite for the upgrade with 20% which is a no brainer.

              is that 20% off upgrading 9 to 10, with a free upgrade to 11 OR 20% off upgrading 10 to 11?

                  303abuser I’m going from 10 so not sure version 9 owners. The email link just took me to my account so presumably Ableton are targeting 10 users?

                      Henry ah i see, i logged in and it shows the discount there. i was under the impression the discount was for people upgrading from 9.

                      Unbroken1 in CAD, my upgrade is $290, $230 after the discount.

                            …fuck, that’s quite a lot, only upgraded to 10 last December 🙁

                            The update from 9 to 10 took years so agreed this is a bit of a pisser having this come so soon.
                            Bit disappointed about not getting a new synth too. The Poli synth has been around for ages and looks a bit shit. I do wonder whether this will be a regular thing now with more regular releases.

                            Having said all that the updates I mentioned earlier plus the additional packs that will surely follow will make it worth it.

                            it’s definitely early and i appreciate that they dropped the upgrade price, but this seems like a 10.5 version rather than 11.0.

                            Comping and scales overlay on the piano roll I’d definitely use - which are time savers more than anything. I already have beatseaker so it’s a bit annoying that it’s going to be an integrated feature. I’m not sure how linked editing would be helpful. Extra macro’s is fine. Easy on additional packs / effects etc. Biggest issue for me though is that my music computer runs Windows 7 and this will be Windows 10 only. I don’t really want to reconstitute it again, having survived the harddrive crash from last year.

                            Amps Again, another synth line today that isn’t complete dog shit. Result.

                              Anyone got any tutorials or info on making giant fuck off laser noises? Preferably in Ableton or using a nice free VST. I can’t see much, so my assumption is that ‘laser noises’ are called something else in the world of proper production. Think Chemical Bros etc.

                                Have you tried googling ‘pew, pew, pewwwww’?

                                Works in Lego Batman

                                Amps I’m with you. Laser noises are both awesome and essential. Experiment with pitch envelopes, as a large element of the sound can be fast pitch dropping or rising. Same with filter sweeps. Or get sampling them from where ever and do the same thing. In short experiment.

                                • Amps replied to this.

                                    apyssjw Yeah, I need the fisher price my first laser noise tutorial.
