Let me guess - they're taken aurally?

Glad to hear you got your data back :) Consider this a scare to always back up your data that you don't want to lose, to more than one type of media and to more than one location. (eg. DVD-R/external HDD/Gmail/FTP server, with one at home and one at work or "in the cloud".) Hard drives liv...

OMG sausage roll roll, I'm there.

LOL... just glad other people are enjoying it.

I wrote a Windows tool to non-destructively categorize + sort huge sample libraries into categories based on filename/path search criteria (eg. "kick", "bd", "kd"): http://auralprobe.sourceforge.net Now all I do when I buy a sample CD is copy it to my HDD under C:\Sampl...

Where'd you get it done? Somewhere in Melbz?

LOLz sorry Alex, feel free to post up a proper thread with DJ feedback + artwork etc

Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know my electro-house remix of Benjamin Vial's "Remember" has come out along with a great rolling retake by Manuel Neztic on label Future Perfect, which is run by Melbourne Beats' very own Youthful Implants. Show some love and check out the releas...

Just wanted to dig this thread up and say thank you so much everyone for the support on this release, it's been amazing seeing the widespread love for all tracks involved. Here's a YouTube highlight of James Zabiela ripping up the Boonos remix: cT05Bla3TtY Also, the release is finally up on Beatport...

Hey gang, just a quick one to say I've got a new remix up on my MySpace/Soundcloud pages which I'm pretty excited about!

Please leave some feedback if you're feelin' the love.

I'd love to meet the engineer that wrote the signal processing algorithm in this software. It's not often a technology comes along that you look at and think, "Magic. No other explanation."

a1studmuffin

I had a great time at KMG, first time I've been. HEAPS of aussie talent around the place, and geez, for $35 you just can't argue, the whole vibe felt like any other festival (except more patriotic, which was a bit of fun), and there was enough dirty electro and beats around to keep me smiling. Also,...

Yeah, when I say I ditched my CD collection, I didn't mean literally throwing the CDs out. They're in storage, sans plastic cases. I just meant I stopped putting them on display, as if I used them regularly. But yeah, 99% of the time a 320 MP3 is completely acceptable.

a1studmuffin

Windows XP - if you want the ultimate audio converter, get sox off Sourceforge. It'll convert anything to anything. It's command line based though. Or check out Audacity. Or even WinAmp has an output plugin called Disk Writer. If you queue up an MP3, set the volume to 100% and turn off any EQ settin...

a1studmuffin

I must say it'd be pretty useful using your cock as a third hand on the mixer.

a1studmuffin

I ditched my CD collection and went digital awhile back, but when I did have them around, they were in alphabetical order by artist, however they were mostly albums. If they were singles for DJing, I'd probably go chronological.

a1studmuffin

ever mastered a track for radio ? mastering for radio, generally pulls out most of the sub bass and compresses the heck out of the total track. It's the radio stations themselves who compress the snot out of everything. So why on earth would you give a radio station a more smashed version? The LAST...

a1studmuffin

If you are making tracks for club play and digital download, it is probably not worth paying a lot for top end mastering. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j90/cranes19/ArnoldJackson-GaryColeman.jpg I think that attitude highlights a major problem of many "digital era" dance musicians. If...

Gutted I wasn't asked to support at this!!!! S'not like many people down here play tech-funk!!!

Couldn't agree more!

a1studmuffin

Yeah it only works cleanly on uncompressed audio tracks with no master bus processing like limiters, compressors etc. It'll still work to a degree on other audio tracks but you'll hear artefacts.

a1studmuffin

I also wanted to add that there has been a kind of DJ backlash in the commercial media and you're seeing a lot of kids being turned on to live music again This is a good point, I think a lot of Gen Y has tried to define themselves from older generations by rejecting the things they like... which wo...

a1studmuffin

If you've gone to the trouble of getting proper monitors, you may as well get a proper sound card as well. You can pick them up for a few hundred bucks (Echo Indigo IO/DJ is a good choice for laptops) and the sound quality will be *heaps* better than the internal laptop sound card you're using at th...

a1studmuffin

Yeah sounds very much like your room to me. If you've got Ableton Live, you can go into the settings and turn on a test tone, then sweep the frequency to whatever you want. In most rooms, you'll hear *massive* dips and peaks (particularly from 0-400Hz), sometimes to the extent that you can barely he...

a1studmuffin

Awesome video. Particularly impressed to see someone take music + mixing theory and apply it so well to live use. Makes me wonder if Pioneer will ever include a multiband compressor in DJ mixers that automatically switches up the bass/mids/treble depending on what you choose, rather than use EQs. It...

It may have something to do with the perceived equal loudness curve of the human ear. Our ears "hear" certain frequencies louder than others, thanks to years of evolution: http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/pear-cable-science/EqualLoudnessCurves.gif/image_preview But you'd expect ...

Hey everyone, I'm working on my first iPhone game called Orbitz. It's a light-hearted casual game with a cartoony style, and will feature several single + two player game modes, and online high scores. In about a month I'll be ready for some beta testers. The only requirements are that you have an i...

Hahahaha... seriously though, the lines are being blurred more and more these days with the whole free downloads thing. It's not as easy as just saying "Buy tracks from legal download sites and don't support blogs" because plenty of blogs offer free unreleased tracks from artists like you ...

Wow that's a massive jump. Ahh, the golden rule of buying technology... buy the second best thing on the market, 2-6 months after it's out.

efinately a sign that the bubble may have burst with these big city outdoor gigs. I almost think its like the housing bubble, two or three years is long enough when there is rapid growth for things to get out of control, then add to that the impending recession and that filters down into every indu...

Hot Barbeque ticket holders will have the option of a full refund (including the booking fee if purchased through Ticketmaster), or an upgraded ticket to Summadayze. This ticket upgrade also includes a VIP pass. ... which means everyone who was going to Hot BBQ will now have a VIP pass... kind of r...

I highly recommend Frederik Pohl's work... "Gateway" would have to be my favourite. Also I enjoyed Larry Niven's stuff ("Ringworld" in particular... although he seems to be a bit of a crazy now).

Yeah they were... I can't see anyone wanting to fork out money for a service that's really just a souped up version of free ones out there. Considering it's trying to combine the social networking paradigm with free services like sendspace/yousendit/megaupload, asking people to pay for it seems like...

a1studmuffin

Nice, didn't realise LCDs were still so expensive.

I read somewhere OLED had been ruled out by a few manufacturers recently due to it just being too expensive compared to other methods, although I guess because it's flexible it'll probably have other applications apart from just consumer TVs.

a1studmuffin

Fuck yeah... was ridiculous from the beginning, glad it's falling apart. I'm pissed off that my tax is being used on this sort of crap.

a1studmuffin

I'm using it... pretty cool, although they want to start charging people for "pro" accounts which I think will kill it pretty quickly if there's no other way to use it. It's a nice luxury, but it's certainly not a necessity.
