    works pretty good.

    just load FL piano, hit middle C on it (i think on FL its C5?? ableton its C3)

    then keep transposing ur 808 up or down semitones. i usually go down and have a tuner on it so when it hits C ur good

    Yup FL base config note is C5

    Tbh I haven’t had issues with a out of key 808 sample but then again I use snap to scale so it’s always in key if it’s the proper key

    how’s the pick up compare for you? i don’t really see a reason not to mic?are you just trying to cut the room out entirely?

    the pickup sounds different, kinda wish these things (& just cheap accessible gear in general) was around when i was younger
    this pickup could've changed things for me 15 years ago when I only had an acoustic & wished i had an electric

    i only got the pickup because it was a throw in to get free delivery on an order, it's alright
    i still mic although i do like having the extra track there just in case i need a backup or want to save or process the dry signal. So i go two mics & the pickup (3 inputs) when i'm recording acoustic guitar.

    Deadass forgot how to tell if my 808 is in key

    The first thump can lie. Check the sustained tail against the song's root, and watch for a tuner grabbing a harmonic or the pitch bend.

    That makes sense as a spare track. If you blend it with the mic, check phase first or the low end can get weird fast.

    all my drum kits are stale and boring
    how does one go about making their own custom drum kit?
    should i sample the ableton stock 707, 808, 909s and start adding effects and layering them?
    Someone please give me advice

    i go on r/drumkits, discords, random places of the internet to get drumkits, stuff of that nature.

    but yes, process your sounds to make them sound unique, layer them. you can have a main snare as the body, have another thing come in earlier, and then have another sound as the tail. u can get really creative with it.

    yeah ive made some custom sounds in serum and using my digitone. i also like using ableton's grain delay. u can make drum sounds just out of a single hi hat.

    I dont use my own sounds that often, outside of a impact sound i use all the time that i designed.

    What’s like a decent music distributor to go through? Distrokid just deleted my album with no reason why, they just f***ed me

    Fantasy went through DistroKid for me. I can’t speak to the takedown or support side, but I’d ask for the exact reason and appeal path in writing before moving everything over.

    I got mangepan planar speakers from the 80's and built a crossover for two tweeters I'm running in parallel with them

    I can hear transients in 5d now

    that’s cool but shouldn’t you be able to hear that level of detail on any high end monitoring?

    what’d you end up using for the crossover? any soecific circuit/schematic?

    F*** no, I just cannibalized other s*** to find a cap that had a crossover point I wanted based off the frequency response off the mags

    I'm going to get some planar tweeters because I can hear some slight phasing at the cross because of the speed differences.

    Going to 3d print parts for it and what not. It's a process

    🤷🏾‍♂️

    Idk for me it's just about what is accessable enough to do things I want to do. This was just a very cost effective way to get very high detail. And in the room I have for them in, and for what I want them for it made a lot of sense
