legend tutorial !! but I can't download the file attached this tutorial :(

whats the problem ? any other suggestions ?

[DubSpot]

@loybastiaens thanks for pointing that out, we're working on fixing the problem now.

[Juanjolead]

I my instruments i dont find operator and the other ones i only have like 4 : Impulse, Simpler etc... whats up with that? thx for help

[DubSpot]

@Juanjolead you need Ableton Suite, that includes those instruments. You will need to upgrade.

[MrDetwaa]

can i take an already existing song (like by Rihanna) and make a remix for it? How do I upload it? Thanks :)

[DubSpot]

@MrDetwaa you should check out dubspot.com and click on the link for online course, we have classes available that will cover this but it's more than we can go into here.

@MrDJBIGFOOT Reason is best for someone who wants to integrate digital production with their existing analog studio, whereas Live is made for someone who wants to incorporate music production with a live performance. At the end of the day, what's most important is picking the software that you're most comfortable with that allows you to create your own, unique sound.

You sound like Rocky Balboa

[AlexRider001]

@DubSpot not necessarily true

reason's synths DO have weaker sounding waveforms and filters

while I'm not saying that it's impossible to create good sounding synth patches with reason, it is a lot harder and takes more effort than using vsti

[KickstartJumper]

Don't want to be a hater, but you really shouldn't zoom in like that, can't see what the hell your doing half the time.. Apart from that, nice tutorial.

When I set it to landscape mode why can i not see the notes i placed? Its blank, while yours actually shows whats being played.

[DjTheVision]

@DubSpot PLEASE ANSWER: When i open up my keyboard view to draw notes at top it says 1.2 the 1.3 then 1.3 up to 2 instead of 1 then 2 then 3 etc. Also in botoom right corner where it says 1/4 when i set mine to that it makes it so i can only make long notes where as yours are small.Its all screwed up. How can i fix.

[DowgMusic1]

where's the download?? LOL.

[WrighttheIsle]

Hey, How can you make a bass synth in simpler without the rate of the loop looping faster as you go up in pitch?

[hemphillallstar]

question,is there any reason why you singled out your drum samples,instead of using them in the drum rack?

[TheMusicYouno]

I know if FL there's a much simpler way to do this technique. You just create two notes, one the lowest note, the other the highest note an octave or two up. Then go into note properties for the highest note and check slide. Wallah. A build.

@g00607978 YES IT IS WORTH IT! So much more things you can do with Suite that isn't available with regular live 8

man u got the best voice for instruction. years from now instead of thinking oh this guy sounds like (ive seen rocky, or others) ill think man this guy sounds just like that guy from the dubspot tutorials. did you add some reverb or something i swear it sounds the same way reagan (as in ronald) voice had like this rumble to it. you guys deserve massive government funding keep it up!
