Abelton Questions

[massplanck]

i dunno guys. Abelton is good and all but its at version 7 now and this hasnt been implemented yet nor is there any sign off it ever happening. People are most concerned about frequency analysis & sidechain compression etc these days then actuall notes & funk & groove. Back to basics please guys. Even their appegiator is shockingly shite.

Note placement, velocity & groove are what matter most to me. If groove templates\quatization are used right you can make a track without **** all need for compression & eq.

Its also a standard answer to the problem whenever I ask it. :)

I dunno why I should ask for them to implement it. Its 2008 now, Live version 7 complete with mega sidechaining , frequency analysis & support for 1712896128k bitrates. If they havent cottoned on to one of the most basic aspects of making musical parts sound coherant & gel I think I should just leave them in their ignorance.

Wont somebody please think of the midi notes?

[stjohn]

i wonder is there a midi plug in that can do what u want

[massplanck]

Nope. Probably need to be built into the DAW for it to work effectively. You need to be able to select groups of notes and "groove quantize" them. Rather than playing them through a midi plugin & having them quantized on the fly.

Program the groove in yaself!

are you crazy? the arpeggiators in ableton are the best i've ever used....i cant use those in cubase at all, ableton gives instant gratification and some beautiful melodic work
