Why do they make something which is essentially so simple, so difficult? This sort of thing really put me off the Octatrack. What were they thinking by leaving out this essential feature? It's not even a feature, it should just go without saying. So you can just have 8 samples on the go and that's ...

With the OT you can load a drum loop for example and then slice it like ableton and on the one track you trigger whichever slice you want. You can only load one sample per track, you maybe able to get around this by stitching your one shots into one long sample but that would be a PITA to do and yo...

I think the unit is pretty sweet otherwise. if i didn't have a computer OCTATRACK would be essential. if anything i'm glad i got a lot of this hardware to only realize that I actually enjoy tracking/midi on the computer and working that way. Its fast the the mouse gui is actually pretty tight to so...

not sure what u mean, but i aint bothered bout where it returns to, just 1 stereo channel on one on the mixers will suffice. Im sure I must be able to create a split send cable somehow, i think this is the only way ill manage it x When the effect is attached to aux send of one of the mixers, then y...

Can you set aux sends to pre-fader mode in the mixer that has the effect? Then you could just route aux output from mixer 1 to a channel in mixer 2 (which has the effect), set channel level to zero and set (pre-fader) send level in a way that both mixers give roughly same amount of reverb when using...

I love bossa nova, both the cheesy stuff and the truly beautiful songs. Walter Wanderley, Astrud & Joao Gilberto, Sergio Mendes are some of my favourite artists of this sound.

I'm interested in hearing why you prefer your current software over others, or if you are looking for alternatives then tell us why. I don't want this to go into "x is better than y", just explain _your_ workflow and why the tools you have chosen matters. Also discussion about outboard gea...

I have most tracks in the center but I make some of them wide using chorus, reverb, stereo frequency shifting, stereo unison detune etc. than its a stereo signal that is panned to the center :) Yeah, I just wanted to say that there's more ways to have stereo sound than just panning mono signals aro...
