Re: sample CDs: I'd really like to use more of them! But I don't have that many- just a couple of refills I've torrented really. As it is I'm quite happy to just chuck whole commercial tracks into Live and cut up big gobs of them.
Re: reason: Reason 4 is a BIG step forward sonically. And as soon as you rewire it the game changes completely, you lose that glassy hollow edge very quickly when you put it through Cubase - Live is particularly good for warming it up for some reason (could be my ears going though). I'm beginning to be a bit unsure about Logic though.
And the Black Dog is just different! Partly because of the heritage, obviously. But also because of the three-way collaborative working process - it doesn't matter how preset something is at the start, by the end it's pure Dog. Plus there's the skill of the people involved- Rich is a world class sound designer, it's quicker for him to programme something that to find a preset for just about any sound, while Ken is a world class mangler and visionary. Shame about Martin but two out three ain't bad
Funnily enough right now I'm trying to cut down the number of sounds I use and just use a very simple, repetitive pallette. It's not actually working - I keep on expanding the sound set - but I'm trying to streamline it and be more generic.
