    Getting a good headphone mix on Live

    haha yea thats what i was wondering. i thought i missed something. and i agree with ldb. i would say don't ever mix with headphones alone. if you do that your gonna hear surprises once you play it through monitors. i usually do a "pre-mix" with headphones, bring the song over to my desktop...

    Drum Compression and EQ Settings...

    How many hardcore Ableton users?

    i've actually had no trouble with its stability, but i've heard it can cause problems. im not surprised really, there are quite a few things going on that clog up the system. the new warping engine is pretty complex, and live has never really had a flawless stability record. i guess saying...

    Improvising/Composing

    something else that has yet to be touched upon in this post, but is an important aspect of music theory, is rhythm. you'd be surprised at what a strong knowledge of rhythms can do to your beats, even basic rhythm notation skills. if you want a beat to feel laid back, or pushed a bit or...

    Improvising/Composing

    music theory is certainly helpful in creating the sound that you hear in your head, but it should not be relied upon as your only tool to compose with. as soon as you start to adhere to music theory's rules, you lose some authenticity in your compositions. theres a reason its called music...
