For house I definately wouldn't be swinging the kick or the main snare, but cymbals and like incidental snare/perc and ghost notes should be swung. Haven't made a house track for a long time, haha, and when I did, I didn't use the groove engine, but at the moment I just use the normal swing in the groove pool thing, 16-5, with lots of random :D works really well for like 2-step/future garage stuff.

OK..

Save: will save any and all warp markers for that audio so when you re open it, it will all be there

Hi-Q: will use more memory to load the sound and process quicker (bad for slower comps)

Edit: will (if you've assigned one) send the current clip to a wave editor of you choice...

Hope that has it sorted for you.

i've got the launch pad its pretty good i mainly use it for live stuff, launching clips etc.

as for production its ok but for the way i work its only got to quickly program in some drums quickly, but all in all its very good for the price.

there is a heap of things out on the market though. check out the akai mpk49 its pretty much every thing in one. i got one last week and its pretty dope the MPC style pads are really good.

have read reviews and alot of people staying faithful to the apc40 but say the newer novation launchpad does the same thing basicly, and its much cheaper so that would be my option, like the look of the apc more though

just remember man that a sample is only a basis for a sound, you can shape any sound, to make it sound the way you want it.

For instance, you get a hi-hat. You want it on the off beat, nice and thick. But it just isnt... add some saturation, a filter and some EQ and it sounds completely different. Play around with the ADSR envelopes and the velocity and you got your self some groove!!

ableton still isnt making all sense to me but im slowly getting it, it comes with built in lessons to show you how to use it, but also youtube tutorials are pretty good, there are plenty as chev said, but dont do what i did and watch great ableton users and then try what they do and fail hard n crack the shits LOL

get ableton suite, its live with heaps of shit built in, might as well have it lol
