Hi Actually I'm using Logic (couldn't get on with Cubase), but unfortunately its not the VST version, its a version of Logic Silver 3.7 adapted for my Guillemot ISIS soundcard from 2000).
Its annoying cos it doesn't have VST support so i get all the advantages like the stability (rock solid) and theres the internal 4 buss mixer that illustrates the CC messages (filtering etc) i record using the mod wheel and sends reverb control to the sampler and the environment which is cool (but a head scratcher from time to time). Its good but i can't use the ES1 synth or plugins etc as i only have FX and processing available on the audio channels (which i don;t use as i just use Logic for MIDI control). I would like a new version of Logic Silver - only about �150 now. Cheers for the dub tips tho, Laters Dan -----Original Message----- From: Scott Bradley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 January 2002 04:05 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: SCSI is very, very good... Dan Nice one !! and thats a good tip for the vocals. Another interesting vocal tip is to do it the dub delay way were you route the output of your FX unit into it's own channel on the desk and feed it back on itself, be very careful with your speakers, too much will burn em out. Anway, this way you can EQ the delay, fade it in and out also. Plus if you have your desk setup properly, you can choose to record only the delay for that atmospheric wierdy vocal feel. Now we just need to get you using Logic Audio, it really is a stable beast and the built in FX take up very little processing power. It really out performs cubase which I never had much luck with, it would crash after a while.
