Xmas Member Assignment 2024 - Fatboy Slim Tribute - Win Avenger 2!

Announcements

Hi all,

this is my contribution. I think it's more a chill-out big beat, than a full big beat song. Hope you like it anyway. I used old 95 BPM. Took me quiet a while to mix it properly down, because of the many beats and basses I layered together.

The main bass, starting at the beginning I played live because a friend of mine sold me his cheapest bass guitar. It was really fun. I'm more a guitar player, but I discovered that bass can also be very much fun to play.

I also uploaded it on Soundcloud.

Good luck everybody.

Cheers Paddy

Best Master Keyboard for Producers

General Producer Chat

Hi Petter,

thanks for the info. I think I will have a closer look at the Roland A49, because I was very convinced of my old Roland XP-50 keyboard. And this A49 looks like it's just the keyboard without the synth engine. The price is also in my range what I want to invest. The only downside here for me is that it has only 49 keys. I got used to 61 over the past decades.

Cheers

Paddy

Best Master Keyboard for Producers

General Producer Chat

Hi Petter,

thanks for your very detailed and helpful feedback. I have here a NI M32 Mini, which is also fine. I don't expect from a mini keyboard very much. But the NI one is pretty playable. At the moment the MPE keyboards are not in my scope mainly because of the price. But I think the Novation looks indeed good from price and quality pov. But before I order it, I would like to know an opinion of someone who actually has a novation keyboard. I'm also using the LaunchPad and LaunchControl, which are very good options, if you don't have enough money. They deliver very good quality for a relatively cheap price. The pads of the LaunchPad are very responsive which I really like.

Regarding the A-Series of NI, I fully agree. I also have the NI A25 which is not bad from keyboard pov but the controls are not really good.

Cheers and have a nice weekend.

Paddy

Best Master Keyboard for Producers

General Producer Chat

Hi there and hi Rob,

I just discovered that you were speaking on the promotional video for the new Novation Keyboard Line (MK4) and I was wondering if you could say a few words about the playability of the keyboards?

I'm using a National Instruments Komplete 61 Keyboard (MK2) and I'm not really satisfied with it. The functionality is ok, but I don't like how it reacts to my input. When I compare it with my old Roland XP-50 synthesizer keyboard, it's worse in regards to the playability. So I want to buy a new one in the next couple of months and I was thinking about the Novation or the Arturia.

Can anybody here recommend some good quality keyboards which have a good playability?

Kind Regards

Paddy

8 TRACK ATTACK! New Member Assignment

Announcements

Hello together,

this is my entry. I called it

"Nobody can hurt me", because I took some cool vocal from one Arcade pack.

I originally wanted to do more of a melodic house and techno track, but because of the limitations, it turned out to become more of a of melodic dysto/epic techno track. Can't define a genre for it. Maybe you can help :-) . Overall it was a great idea to limit myself and I could learn quite a bit due to this. Very thankful for the opportunity. I usually end up using more than 50-70 tracks in my productions. Thanks Rob.

My 8 tracks are:

1. KICK

2. BASS

3. HATS

4. SNARE

5. ARP

6. SYNTH 1

7. SYNTH 2

8. VOCALS

Cheers and good luck everyone.

Kind Regards
