I wish I had the money to join PBonline but all my cash is going to my new home .... O well .... To bad you guys don't have monthly payments

@SimplisticSalvatioNI @SimplisticSalvatioNI Hi, this particular course is only 1 month long so there are no monthly payments. However for our longer courses you can pay monthly. Get in touch with our course advisors on luke [at] pointblanklondon [dot] com if you want to find out more about your payment options. Hope that helps,

@pointblankonline Vsts I own are

OMNI

Trillian

RMX

Cubase ( Vsts that come with Cubase 5 )

Nomad plugins and a few others.

would this be a good amount or would I need new plugins ? Plus I only use Cubase and my main goal is to better understand how to make my music sound clean full bright before mastering ! on top of that I want to learn more about my plugins . And better understanding of Song creation . Every time I try to make trance it never sounds right to me .

@SimplisticSalvatioNI All of our courses are taught in the box (as in using the VSTs that come bundled with the DAW) so you certainly have enough to take a course at Point Blank. In general we encourage students not to buy lots of new VSTs until they have really mastered the ones they already have. To many options can be daunting and have an adverse effect on your creativity. All the courses cover topics including mixing, structure and arrangement so they will suit your wishes.

What hardware are you using?

[pointblankonline]

@LightWillIgniteUsAll

It's the Akai MPD24.

thanks for this video. I had never thought about setting the device on to 1 and 0. this means I don't need to assign a button to turn an effect on/off as well as a fader to control the parameters.

this is awesome and i thank you for putting the video up but i have a question. How could i use this and not have the song keep playing on? Is there anyway to actually repeat the beat over and over and then pick back up in the song where i started the effect instead of a couple of seconds down the road?
