*name of a character in a Ursula Le Guin story, in their language it is the word for a pebble with a white vein of quartz running through it and those are the best rocks. Plus it sounds cool.

Mostly I need to work out how to effectively use a sequencer when all I have is a shitty tablet, feels like they are really ill suited to touch screen.

@andyvine Puddledrinker is a beast :open_mouth: Well done, will be all over this :slight_smile:

I don’t really use sequencers - I either build stuff in the DAW or just leave a chord ringing for am uncomfortably long time - so I’m not sure about this one. What software are you using?

I meant to say DAW, I’m so out of touch with even the words it has been too long.

I’ve tried a few things but I can’t remember what they were.

Ah that makes sense! Yeah I can imagine piecing together a track on touchscreen would be a frustrating process. And the trouble with DAWs is they all cost too much - on laptop/desktop I’d recommend Reaper as a freebie but Google suggests it doesn’t work on tablets. I quite like Caustic on Android to sketch out ideas - you can do a lot on that but it is a bit limited compared to the bigger DAWs.

There are ways to get cracked versions of Ableton (if you have access to a laptop)

hey, I’m planning to get into this music making lark- I have a launchkey and was all ready to go but my laptop isn’t up to the task (as AQOSsers will know).

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of a decent laptop that can handle this sort of thing? Ideally one I can have a good few years.

Thanks!

I’m probably not gonna be much help but what’s your budget?

Can’t really go wrong with a MacBook but obviously you’re paying a premium there
