I'm still using Suno a bit for making custom samples essentially!
I'm also wondering if anyone has tried Kits AI (the AI vocal provider Slice bought) or something similar, and what people's thoughts are generally.... it's definitely a big debate right now, especially within the Loopmasters community.
Hey guys! Thanks so much for sticking around and checking in! Much appreciated 
The good news is we are still here, although last year was a bit bonkers, personally and on the business front! Things started rolling again though at the beginning of the year and now that I'm through the last 2 months of solid bugs thanks to having a 2-year-old at Kita (nursery), I'm ready to get things going again!
Watch this space..... there'll be a proper announcement coming along with a few bits of exciting news within the next couple of weeks 
Hi Athena,
Yes, that technique would work okay. You could just play any instrument in Live though to get the MIDI notes or audio into Live directly. Then, Scaler 3 would definitely be a really good option for working from those notes - by detecting that audio or MIDI and then helping you with the key, harmony/chords and basslines.
We could maybe do a tutorial or livestream on this workflow, as it could be good inspiration for people.... did you have a link to any music we could use as a starting point?

Nice one all! Doing a Livestream on Tuesday on Live 12.2 so will announce the results then...
Good work Alv and Phil!
No worries Ben. We can extend it to next Monday so just get your entry in before then... we'll send round an email this week to let people know.
Learn the basics of FM and how to create percussive sounds in Vital, Serum and Phase Plant in this new bonus tutorial.
Nice work Transpire! Looks like you're on your own so far!
Does everyone need a little bit more time? Maybe we do another week....
We're about to upload a bonus sound design tutorial and bring out the Seppa Drum course, both of which would be very useful to this assignment!
Good question Sam! Always love an opportunity to share transformational dance music! Orbital were for sure very instrumental in that process for me too. Other artists included The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim (this is back when I used to see them DJing in a back room in Turnmills), Prodigy... we all know their tunes though, even some of the early ones, although I am a big fan of several of their more obscure b-sides I have on vinyl from when they were just starting out.
Most of those guys appealed to me because of their musicality and most specifically inclusion of heavier guitar elements, as I was into Grunge and Indie at the time.
Instead though I'll put this one on here, as it was one of the many songs that got me into Breaks. Naked and Ashamed from (my now friend) Dylan Rhymes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6RHIDAqOso
It was featured on a Smirnoff ad in the 90s and I found it in a record shop after that and it became one of my faves to drop in sets and get the dancefloor going - never failed!
As promised on last month's livestream, here is a redo of the stereo width masterclass broken into 2 parts. The first session is pretty much identical to what was covered in the livestream, e.g. a thorough intro to stereo width, only much more concise. The second session, however, is a 60-min deep dive into stereo width in the Future Rave project, so going a lot further than the stream, where there wasn't much time to cover anything at the end!
If you watched the stream, then maybe skip the first session, unless of course you'd like some revision. If you didn't watch the stream yet, then check out both sessions instead... Access them in the Bonus Tutorials Area.
Enjoy!
And if you have any more questions about the Future Rave project, let us know. If we don't hear from you, that's probably it for now. What an epic series!!
