Steve, I like your tracks, especially "tech me away". 2 questions if you don't mind.

1. What key is "tech me away" in?

2. In "batmobeats", you have a reversed sound before the track takes off. Is it a reverse kick? I hear this sound in alot of Timo Maas tracks.

Cheers.

Right, Tech me Away is in A-flat (G#). And that sound, if I've got the right one, is a percussive sound that I created a while ago. I use it in almost all of my tracks and it was a very long process, which I can't really recall, to get it right, so instead of explaining I'll add it to this message for you to use. All I did was reverse it and used the tape-delay (check my post under 'mad delay tips' in the mixing and fx forum), and that's it.

Regards.

Steve.

Drop, just read your post about bass and have to agree that G or A-flat are the nicest to work in with bass, it just gets 'that' middle sound. Not too low not too twangy. This is true on my Electribe and JP8080 and I usually build my tracks around that.

Just ordered my Virus C today. How's yours treating you?

Regards.

Steve.

Thanks for posting that sample and telling me about the "A" key. Sound.

My virus is cool but to be honest, over the last 3/4 weeks, I've been using the es1 more (version 5 is on order) and I'm managing to get a more techy bass/stabs/etc sound out of it.

The thing I find with the virus is that it does take up alot of headroom once I get past using 3 sounds. Also, with me using the exs24 coupled with the es1 mt tracks seems to be so much tighter. The stabs sound like stabs(really percussive) and groove along with the drums.

Now, when I get Logic 5 and start using the es2, I think my techy house will almost be ready.

Its really annoying that you can't assign individual outs though in version 5 (although the tech at emagic said you could but Bedwyr said you can't). I mean my plan is to sell my hardware samplers and maybe a synth and I want to have 24 outputs from 3 terratec cards each running down individual channels on my desk. This way I can used the desk eq and use outboard compression and reverb to warm up the sound (don't wanna be too digital).

It seems mad that you can't individually assign say audio instrument 1 to the card output 1. I know I can hard pan samples but that means I will have to use 1 sound per 1 track if I want that sound to be pannable on my desk. There must be a way round it?

Cheers.

what do you mean you CAN do that just assign ES1 to say stereo out 1/2 and hard pan the es1 channel HARD left and it'll ONLy come out of output 1 of that pair surely?

Yer you can do that K and that's what I've been doing. But once I hard pan a sound I'm stuck with it being in the centre if I want another sound to come out of the same output.

I mean if I decide to pan a rim out of output 1 to say 9 o'clock, then every other sound that i've assigned to output 1 will have the same pan position. That's rubbish and mean anything I want to pan via the desk pots will have to have its own output. I'm only going to have 24 outputs and I have to fit all the drums, audio FX returns and softsynths into 24 outputs.

I cannot honestly believe that you can't assign a mono esx24 to come out of only output 1. If you could then I could have all my hats coming out of one output but individually pan them to where I wanted within the logic audio faders or the zones in the esx24.

I mean if you can assign the master outs to individual outs (1e 1-8) why are you stuck with only outputs 1&2 on the audio instrument tracks?

bounce baby, bounce... and if you bounce you will free up channels for other stuff.

well that's the way it is, you'll get that in any situation like this with any gear... you cant create pan positions in a mono field.

I dont get what you mean... you say you want to send a soft-synth OUt to ONLY card OUT 1... but that's then a mono send arriving at your hardware mixer via card OUt-1... so what's the problem?... you then pan that within the hardware mixer stereo field using the hardware mixer channel pan.
