Top work, thanks for sharing!

I haven't had that one Ben, are you on 5.5.1? That fixed a few bugs. F2 always brings back the transport for me personally, but its at the top of the arrange window too obv. Personally don't use the new 'beat' tools, find them clunky and not well integrated with each other. Ditto the MediaBay which ...

I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I then thought that programming it was cheating, so I learned to play drums for real. I then thought using bought drums was cheating, so I learned to make m...

fwiw I totally agree with BLM. I'm back in Cubase because I can make very simple things that sound clean, fat and present. Stuff I made in FL Studio last month doesnt sound as clean as the stuff I did in Cubase 10 years ago, when I didn't have a clue what I was doing! I'm a genuine scientist / skept...

reckon in here would be better, feels like this place is getting a bit quiet somehow... Never seen the whole forum quieter actually. The mnml backlash is complete. Deep house has won. :lol: Seriously though, its not ideal having a forum named after a specific genre tag, now that the 'mnml' sound is...

To be fair they've name dropped those guys (and the genre itself) to get more people onboard - not everyone is as clued up as the residents here, and for those guys, seeing these names will help draw them in.

Having said that, what a truly appalling demo. Sort that out.
