SP-FORUMS

Has anyone tried the fat replacement-pads for SP 404sx/a? Since, the SX has really hard pads I've been sort of tempted.

Have a look at this video on a way to connect things:

There's a lot of lofi-texture, hiss, and a sense of room in that track. I don't know how to nail it. It seems difficult to achieve solely in a digital machine like the SP, better to invite some analog reality. To me it makes sense to experiment with the following: Sample from vinyl or cassette tape ...

If anybody still wants to learn about compression, here's one of the best explanations I've come across. Justin Coletti from Sonic Scoop: m

Don't stop with that film. He has many more on different tricks on compression.

A compressor is a tool. Just like an SP. There are infinite ways to use and ...

Yo,

Alright, in case interested, I got some things sorted. First of all I was over thinking the timing issue, its more feel/flow that works. That being said I did manage to dump the PC for importing loops. I record with either looper (Deleay Lab or Jamman solo XT) while listening to the 404. Then ...

I've been digging around for a few weeks now and trying nearly every effect on the 404sx but I can't seem to get this warpy lo-fi piano sound that I'm after:

Does anyone have any tips? I'm usually all for figuring out stuff ...

Btw. My Focusrite Forte allows it. It is possible thanks to the software allowing me to set up different mixes for the Headphones and the Main Outs. So, I can have the full mix in my headphones while using the Main outs for Aux sends to the SP.

It says your interface is 2x2 (right?), whereas mine ...

Just googled a little. Don't really know if there's a workaround but it might very well be that they strip the entry level interfaces of some features which would have made it easier to achieve.

You might have seen this too:

All great art is made by overcoming constraints... hope you come up ...

Not familiar with your interface, but there's a video explaining it here:

Oh, sorry! Just shows how little I remember. I'll edit!

Hi,
I don't know the 202 and only used the sampletrak for a little while. Haven't touched it for a year I'm afraid. What I appreciated about the Sampletrak:
- nice, soft pads (feels friendly
- ---//////
- nice workflow,
- easy to tune and pan samples
- nice lowpassfiltered sound when sampling ...

Hi there,
I'm pretty crap when it comes to finger drumming, but the other week I came across Melodics - which is sort of an educational video game which lets you practice finger drumming like Guitarhero. Appearantly it's been around for a year, but I haven't seen it mentioned here when using the ...

I got a used Mexico-made Fender Jazz Bass at pawnshop sale. I play it into a Tech21 Sansamp BassDriver DI. It's hard to go wrong with a classic "Fender" bass, either Jazz or Precision (P-bass). Apart from the cheaper Squire or Mexico-made, look out for older Japanese lawsuit-models.

Hi there group,

Little SP-time lately since I've been focusing on really getting up to speed in Ableton. This subject hits close to home and it seems you can wrestle this forever and just feel disappointed. God knows I have been complaining during the years. Don't.

Some strategies.

Creativity is ...
