I love the scale:

C - C# - F - G - G# - A# - C

Dark, yet uplifting... best of all guitarists hate playing it. lol

That would be the C Phrygian mode, it's no problem to play on Guitar, the notes are wrong though, you'd have an Eb, Ab and Bb.

Im sh1t at theory but I could suggest turning you sampler pitch bend until it sounds about right - or very very wrong... depending on your orientation

you could try selecting the midi note. Going to the list manager (top right hand of screen) and changing the values there

RE: share your production process, part two: BASS!

Try running your bass line through a side chain compressor triggered by the kickdrum track. It removes the low end phase and will make the kick and bass pump like john holmes...

if you dont own one you can get a simple version that does the job, from:

RE: Control Surfaces

Yea, I understand, just wanted to make sure that's what you were after.

You get the bonus of nice warm analog circuitry too. Been looking at one myself, but for now I need automation, rather than something to mix down on, so looking at a MCU Pro.

I could be wrong, but I wouldn't have said that was a control surface (not in the way that the Euphonix or Mackie Control is). It's a mixing desk with a firewire soundcard.

I don't think you can put in automation or stuff with it.

It's very swish though

Your are correct but with the zed it allows audio both ways so I can eq using the included eqs so no no need for plugins as far as eq goes.
