I thought it was only two audio + two midi tracks... could be wrong though.

@Direkt: Yeah the accuracy of the monitors just seemed way, way better over the whole frequency range... as soon as I played some of my older stuff on there alongside some well produced tracks, mine sounded dull, lifeless + flat. I could hear straight away that I didn't have enough top-end, there wa...

I went from Alesis M1 520s to Mackie HR824 MKIs. Quite a jump in price - about 3-4x as expensive, but the difference was like night and day. I still reckon I'd get better mixdowns if I got the 10" sub that goes with the Mackies... can't really justify the extra $$$ at the moment though.

a1studmuffin

EDIT: Oh alex, you removed your post about bass reflex. :( This post now makes no sense. Oh well. Let's get on with it. ... Yeah quite possibly - I'm just going on my own experiences with smaller nearfields (5") vs larger nearfields (8"). I never got a mixdown I was happy with on the 5&qu...

a1studmuffin

Those Tascams will be fine for starter monitors, although you'll probably find it a struggle to get mixdowns spot on. It's an unfortunate truth with monitors that you get what you pay for. You really will hear a big difference between a set of $500-1000 monitors vs a pair for $2000+. But you could a...

I use an M-Audio Axiom 25 (also available in larger flavours): http://www.cursoshacermusica.com/INDEX/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/axiom25_f.jpg It's pretty sturdy, but the endless knobs and lack of automap piss me off a bit. Keys + pads feel nice though (very much like an MPC). In t...

Mac soundcard quality - Probably not that good (like most laptops)... I imagine you'll want to get a Firewire/USB2 soundcard with all the IO bells + whistles for production... I haven't been keeping up, but a year ago when I was looking around the Focusrite Saffire LE was a great budget option that ...

So fucking true!

Fair enough, maybe I misconstrued the wikipedia article.

a1studmuffin

To possibly take this post a little too seriously: if it was a fart which permeates across a massive land area and is of unknown origin When you think about sound + vibration, there's often not a very central emission point. Sure, if there's a pair of fans somewhere emitting an incredibly loud 36Hz,...

a1studmuffin

Oh, it's certainly curious if they can't locate the source of a hum in certain geographical locations, but considering some locations have found the source of their hum to be quite boring and unextraordinary things, it's pretty safe to say the rest of the locations will have a similarly uninterestin...

a1studmuffin

Fucking LOL, just read the wikipedia page for "The Hum". Talk about making something sound a lot more mysterious than it is, jesus! Basically all they're describing is loud low frequency noises which can be heard in various parts of the world, whose source isn't always known (but sometimes...

Top gig, haven't danced for a headliner's entire set in years!

a1studmuffin

La Di Da have a downstairs room that you can hire out (if you can stand La Di Da) with decks + bar, although they kick you out at 11 for the "real DJs" to come on, which is rather annoying if most of your friends are well known Melbourne DJs who are happy to play, LOL.

a1studmuffin

out of interest, what kind of royalties do you think you are due? Apra deal with song writing royalties for Radio/TV/ Club play Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I know I got some airplay on Radio-1 in the UK which pays a pretty hefty royalty rate, and I've got plenty of airplay on radio shows a...

Atomic wedgie for sure.

Well, as an example I'm on a 250MB/month data plan with Optus and I've never come close to hitting even 100MB, and I use it *all the time*, like I'm talking obsessively, to the point where my girlfriend actually takes it away from me for long periods of time so I'll acknowledge her presence. :D As l...

I heard on 3RRR's geek show that the newest generation iPhone also does MMS. Now I'm 85% sure I'll get one. Dragging my feet still...emotional rather than logical reasons. My current cunt of a Nokia N70 is losing battery power every day so the time is nigh. Once you actually get the iPhone, you're ...

a1studmuffin

From my experiences, APRA are an utter fucking joke when it comes to royalty collection (as in, they won't even bother trying to collect royalties for you) unless you're Top 20 commercial material. You'd be way better off using PRS in the UK and putting in a mate's UK address IMHO.

That's a pretty trivial example - it glosses over the fact that this technique wouldn't work for other more complex sounds. lol, no, trust me, it's anything but trivial. It does sound like a simple sound, but the fact that it has actually a myriad of ever increasingly closer and dimmer overtones th...

That said, a lot of great musicians DJ.

Hey deviant, lets both clear the dancefloor at the same time and see what happens!

Butterz likes flouride!!!

Proper support for push will negate the need for (most) background apps anyway, so it's all good.

Butter Party's top 10 tuna for March... all about the angry tech-funk:

Yeah being on the 5th floor of an office building was interesting - whole building wobbled back and forth fairly slowly - I thought I was dizzy or something, then felt the desk... like being on a boat! Hahaha

I hope I don't die

Yep. St Kilda Rd. Shit!

a1studmuffin

Yep! Fuck!!

a1studmuffin

Maybe you're right, although I thought it was likely that in the event of a blackout, you'd end up with some unrecoverable bad sectors (even with a full format) on a disk if it was writing. Not always visible immediately either - you might need to do a full surface scan of the drive to find the dama...

a1studmuffin

I know at least two big name DJs who annotate notes along with each of their tracks, including BPM, key, what time the bassline comes in/cuts out and/or when the "main" drop into the track is etc. From my experiences in DJ/production land, the most successful artists + DJs are the ones tha...

Cheers

Our label mantra is pretty much tech-funk all the way - with each release we're trying to cater for a bit of breaks, electro and techno.

a1studmuffin

Wooo

a1studmuffin

just yank the cord and don't even do normal shutdown I hope you're not talking about the power cord. Hard cutting the power to a hard disk can cause permanent bad sectors if the disk platter is being written to at the time. I think it'd be enough to "eject" the drive through the proper me...

a1studmuffin

Even if that were true, it'd hardly be a crime considering how easy it is to beatmatch on CDJs using the BPM counter. I have no problem with any of these shortcuts as long as the DJ has done their time learning the ropes and can actually beatmatch and handle shit if things don't go exactly how they ...

a1studmuffin

That looks a really nice product - it's great to see someone moving away from the whole "MIDI controller to be mapped however you want it" thing... the biggest reason I don't switch to a laptop + MIDI controller is they're all too generic, trying to please too many people, and when you act...

Dan: Works some of the time... depends what actually happened... some physical injuries to a drive are permanent.

Balls, perfect overlap with my set at Fire Aid. Oh well, next time.

a1studmuffin

I don't have a problem with someone planning out chunks of their set (I do this), as long as they're ready to change direction if it's not working. DJing is no different to any other performance IMHO, rehearsing produces more professional results. Finding mixes that work really well and suit the dir...
