Jack and base noise level

Hi folks, I've struggling with futility to get a decent DAW recording, midi sequencing external setup going. My DAW of choice has been Bitiwig1.3 but it's pretty ropey when it comes to sequencing outboard gear. I've been testing Tracktion 7 and it seems very usable however now I'm having audio issue...

Re: Your cheap guitar that you love and hate

I have an Epiphone acoustic. Cost me 100 pounds brand new in 1989. It was absolutely rubbish straight out of the shop but oddly, has never changed in 25 years, infact, it might actually play better now since I "know it" intimately. You have to tune it for a 3 fret range. Tune at fret 5 and...

Using pad controller to jam with sequences

Hi, I'd like to setup a bunch of sequences in either QTractor or Ardour, or even something else and use the pads on my Launchkey Mini to trigger and play (or switch between) the sequences. Is there a way to do this in QTractor or Ardour4? I've looked briefly at Giada but it doesn't do MIDI recording...

What is your workflow?

Hi All, Having been a guitarist for 20 years I've decided to get into piano, synths and computer audio. I'm enjoying jamming with my Volca Keys, TE PO-12 and my vintage Roland A-90EX. I've spent the last couple of weeks experimenting with Ardour, Hydrogen, QTractor and various plugins. Tweaking soft...

Re: novation launchkey mini config issues

...and in true internet fashion I figured it out straight after posting. The manual shows the CC's for the knobs in the Midi Table. In amsynth I just assigned those numbers to the various pots. Zyn's new learn mode also worked to a certain degree.

Re: novation launchkey mini config issues

Hi All, I've just got myself a Launchkey mini. I can use the pads with hydrogen and play notes with Amsynth/Zyn with the keyboard by splitting the channels (1 and 10). How do I go about getting the knobs working? My main reason for getting this was to get some sanity into tweaking softsynths. Do I n...
