Great sounds,
I presume the launchpad app is more geared towards live work (?) I still need to purchase the IAP to import your own sounds to see how much in the way of fairly unique stuff can be gleaned from it.
I do like the new FX, my main concern is that all the samples start at the beginning - I know this sounds obvious, but it would be greast if they included an editor to be able to work a bit on the sounds. Maybe doing some 'prep' before (slicing up loops) is the way to do this (?) Otherwise everything is a bit too 'recognisable' as the source pack sounds.
@Igneous1 I like this app for what it is, no more no less, but it did fall into disuse for the very reasons you outline: too generic and quickly, BUT in a moment of late-night desperation to spend money I did buy the 'import' option and everything changed. Don't use it a whole lot, but it's def. got a place and I do find myself when in AS or Twisted Wave making up samples to take in and play with. Thereafter, even using some of the existing loops via (say) Flux soon freshens things up....
Sagacious advice, Mr. Goodyear. I shall look into it.
Just another point (and with reference to the recent 'Figure' thread), as the app is intended for live performance primarily, your timing still has to be good. Those stutters have to be right or the rhythm will go to pot, as do the other fx (to alesser extent). So there's still some craft in 'superstar DJ-ing ' !
@Igneous1 Good point and an area/issue where I think we here often may misconstrue the relative weight of certain comments. I rarely/never play live and thus only look at or report on utility from the perspective of my own private dungeon...
It needs a flashing light to remind you to put your hands up in the air every once in a while.
Oh man, how could you not want to play live? It's an awesome experience, and people want this sort of thing. It's just not easy to put a concert on these days. If you started to work with a few other people to form a band of sorts, you would have the experiences of a lifetime.
It was 5 years of drum playing before I thought I was ready to play live, but I had already played in the school's band and orchestras in front of people.
I want to play live....just not sure that others want me to.
@funjunkie27 people say 'laughed out loud' all the time, but this did it to me...
Must be because I feel similarly not so deep down...Austin's got a lot of venues (even the supermarkets have bands on), but as you might guess the standard is pretty high...
@Martygras My problem has always been being a vocalist they do have this thing about shoving you out in front...
I started talking about playing live with the guys who come over for my monthly jam (just finished one this past Sat.), and they all seem keen to give it a try. I'm one of the weaker links though, so I probably ought to get off this PC and get to practicing!
oh no.. Modern Talking are back
Once you have your jam chops ready, the hardest next part is getting a good sound live, even in a small place like a coffee shop (which I encourage). I've always used a mixer live, so that is step one. If you have some nice speakers and amps then cool, but if not then you can use some computer speaker systems w/subs. I'm going to guess that most people would rather hear a full spectrum sound system rather than an overly loud sound system.
Make sure gear is protected from being knocked off tables/stands. Tie that stuff down.
Thanks for the tips @Matygras. I have a decent mixer and my friend has a PA, plus we have several nice amps to add to the mix. Still, figuring out how to best use all of it within any given venue is where we'll need to nail down.
I don't think anyone expects any real money out of it, even though some of the guys I play with are quite talented. We're all hobbyists, so this will just be for the fun of it.
