Hi all,

I've owned a Virus C since January, I think it's tits. I'm still new to music production, I've been studying it on and off for about 2 years, and I'm sort of at odds with computer based sequencing. Although I've been moderately successfull with it in the past. I love synths, I've owned a bunch in the last 5 years.

Greetz all.

Jayson

Welcome Jayson! I own a Virus KC and love it as much as tits too!

What sequencer are you using Bro? The integrated use of my soundcard/sequencer/MIDI on my first DAW boggled the hell out of my mind. It took me a month just to get all the damn inputs and outputs straight, and that was with just a M-Audio 2496, Behringer UB-1204 mixer!

Now it's second nature, and I'm thankful for it being as integrated as it is. I hope the board becomes a good resource for you.

Cheers mate,

-Alex

Well met Alex, I've had some experience with Ableton Live. *Awaiting shunning* I've barely used the Virus with computer, I've mainly been playing improv, teaching myself keyboard, and creating patches of an EBM nature that I'm very satisfied with. Computers tend to get to my head really fast anymore, I can get really pissed off when things don't do what I feel they should be doing! Luckily I purchased an MPC-500 which I'm still getting familiarized with.

Hey Jayson,

I've learned LIVE is the "shiznit", but also that it has a sort of learning curve all of its own.

When I first started dinkering around with audio/MIDI sequencers I used a bundled version of Cubase ("Cubasis" now "Cubase LE") and it sucked royally, very clunky.

Then Tracktion 2 was released. Ahhhhhhh, so simple and intuitive, yet so powerful. All you need to access is on a single screen, tracks, control panel, plugins, racks, etc. It's a bloody engineering masterpiece I tell you.

It also works with Mac and PC, so you're not platform limited.

I have like 6 licenses of it (you get 2 licenses per retail box and I got a few more with bundled Mackie gear) and I have never wanted for another sequencer, or wanted to upgrade to Tracktion 3 (yet).



Give it a go!

Welcome to the board!

hey Jayson, welcome to the forum. I am a big big fan of Ableton Live. Just like Alex said, there is a learning curve to it, but once you understand how to use it, you'll really be hard pressed to go back to another daw. The session view alone makes the product worth purchasing!
