Boom!
I want to dedicate this thread to all things BOOM!
I just downloaded pt8 yesterday and spent all night on it. After getting over the initial shock of how "Logicky" it is, I found some very cool upgrades and usable tools. Not the least of which is Boom. First of all, is there any video tutorials or manuals for this plug. I want to get to know the ins and outs. Here's my problems so far. 1) I can't figure out how to automate it. I need it to start and stop when and where I tell it to as well as switch up the pattern at specific times. I thought it would be as easy as putting it on an instrument track and using midi notes to control it but I haven't got that happening yet. Any tips. 2) Is there a way to import external sounds. It's got a pretty decent set of drums sounds but I need more modern snares. Please tell me it's not limited to the six or so that are in the drop down menus??? 3) As far as sound editing goes... Well, I guess I just need the manual. It's not very intuitive. Thanks for any help, please feel free to post any of your own questions or tips and tricks in this thread. |

Re: Boom!
Digi/Avid & AIR Users Blog have some nice tutorial vids:
http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?...0&itemid=27606 http://airusersblog.squarespace.com/...duleId=5204883 Unfortunately, no way to import sounds AFAIK. The included ones, though, are surprisingly versatile, especially when used with certain effects, I've found. Cheers

Re: Boom!
A little Roland TR rhythm composer history explains a lot about Boom. It is very simple, the only complexity should be the patterns one creates IMO.

Re: Boom!
Don't forget about the swing adjuster, which can really make the program sound a lot more "human" (I often use just a bit -- up to around 10-15% or so, to pretty good effect). The little "screw" knobs also can make a fairly big difference in the sounds of the instruments (particularly the snares).

Re: Boom!
Alright, I got it working now.
Looks like I can't import my own sounds :-( But the screws and tone knobs go a long way towards making it more flexible. I'm having a few problems that may or may not be related to Boom. 1) I have to create a midi track and assign it to boom to automate it. The midi notes on the instrument track are just greyed out and they down do anything. 2) When I'm working on a midi track at first everything is cool but when I double click the magnifying glass to view the whole session the midi track gets really fat... Ummm, horizontally challenged. In medium view I can only see three or four notes instead of the dozen or so I can usually see. 3) When the midi note ends boom keeps going. |
