Why not use the included synths on Ableton? Analogue and operator are really nice, i think. They certainly seem better to me than a lot of the free plugins mentioned above...

I can't listen to your tune because I'm on my phone, but generally to make a kick sound cleaner I use a fairly aggressive notch EQ to filter out the 'dirty' frequencies.

I would probably say the opposite of what you are saying, that when starting out, don't buy any VSTs or marketing or whatever. Get a superb tool like Ableton, Reason, that's quite self contained. And use that and only that until you have honestly explored every angle of it. Easier said than done bu...

10. Things cost more for a reason, a free VST could sound great and there are alot out there BUT if you want tracks to sound big and proffesional then you are going to have to spend the cash.

Sorry mate, but this is complete bullshit.

I love Adam monitors, but i am a bit suspicious of the 'F' range. If you have a decent means of saving money, I would say save up more for monitors... but thats my opinion.

I think if you have heard the Yamaha's and you like them, then get them.

I may well be wrong, but I'm sure I have got Ableton to record aftertouch. I think its called channel pressure and it doesn't seem to be polyphonic.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

I'm not ghetto enough to own a sub.

korgs were typically all s-trig as far as i know.
beautiful synth tho mate
