Comment on Should I buy an Alesis USB Pro electronic drum kit? by AudioNeedsCom

the Alesis USBPro is awesome. I used to have one when I was in my apartment, and sold it when I moved into my house. I loved that thing! I don’t think you would be disappointed by it.

Also, you should join an online forum for recording geeks like yourself, who can really benefit from other people’s information. Forums are awesome because of that. This one in particular – http://www.audioneeds.com – is filled with tons of pro sound engineers who sit around all day answering questions for people who need help with their recordings… I’m sure it’ll help.

@gix10000 yeah, it’s just a quirk of max, you need to have the patch active to generate midi. command + tab is your friend

@gix10000 yep, bit of an annoying quirk. turning it into a max for live patch should fix that…. i’m on it.

@darkinertia2 …
@darkinertia2 latency varies from system to system. depending on whether your bottleneck’s in ableton’s keystroke to midi crunching or the keyboard itself this might be faster.
