Fresh Ideas for Electronic Music Production
One of the things I have been missing in Ableton Live is the ability to see all of the devices/plugins of all of the tracks at once. It’s a bit annoying having to hop tracks to see what devices each one has loaded up.
Well, one of you (thanks Martin) pointed me out to a solution. Ableton have in fact created the feature to show device slots in Live but left it out for some reason. However with a little tweak we can make it happen. Continue Reading

“Dubstep for 12-year olds.”
“Idiot’s guide to chopping the funky drummer.”
“Homie got a trap kit.”
Bollox.
TAL-Dub 2 is a vintage style delay that squeeks and distorts as you push it’s limits. It’s a very well thought out little beast and I love the way it sounds.
There’s one simple but VERY annoying issue with Apple Logic that really bugs me.
This problem constantly occurs with stereo image.

And yet Logic doesn’t have a straight up way for dealing with it!
Before all you Ableton or Cubase kids cream your twinkies… Your situation might not be much better so pay attention!
