apart from the mixing improvements sidechaining can do, you could do other interesting things like sidechain eg a filter on a pad with a snare or something... I haven't actually mucked about with it much though. I have tried to sidechain a ride cymbal with a kick but I couldn't get it to sound as se...

grooki

nice tracks dude! I like Hash Butter, great intro! and the stepping beats are awesome. And good wobble. Basically it's all good

grooki

Duet, should be first in both the players:

any thoughts would be seriously appreciated

grooki

it isn't in the player? or you could send me the 320

grooki

I think I'm finally getting my head around this one now... Cubase has a limiter, I will have a blast with that...

grooki

ah now this falls into the "nifty" catergory:

I now get the difference between a compressor and a limiter, and it looks like I'lm going to have hunt down a MAXIMISER!

grooki

great list of vsts on the projuice forum btw

grooki

I've written a track today and I want to try it out in a club tonight. I don't want to pay for mastering. What should I do? It makes sense to do a simple master in your home studio so that the sound is at least close to a released track. Use your software to EQ the mixdown, so your track has a simi...

strange.....

and benga n skream are on so late! it's going to be a late one. a good late one

grooki

wow thanks for the detailed feedback tactic! Since posting it I agree with you about mixing on the drums. I was pretty happy with the rest of it though, I did try a few more changes on the main synth but felt that the main groove got lost a bit or something. Anyway you obviously listened really care...

you should check out the Red Eyes, they are easily my favorite live band, and I don't know of many international acts that could compete with them either... although you probably are familiar with them?

grooki

fuckin yay!

grooki

alright I'll give there a try... the search seems to be getting a bit better recently too =)

grooki

I want to find sharehouse listings in the Northcote - Thornbury area. I've already tried Friends Of The Earth, Readings, and Gumtree... is there a shop in that area that has share house ads???

yeah I've found myspaz to be behaving like a turd recently

grooki

that's ok mate I appreciate it all the same.

grooki

thanks Pete

grooki

I guess this is dubstep, though not really in the way dubstep is heading at the moment. Maybe it's more dubby. I guess it's a bit chilled out. I think it would sound nice and deep on a big sytem... And, it has a THERAMAN synth in it! yay! And it has a poem in it, sung by someone special :oops: www.m...

hey dave, wish I could listen but I got throttled

I think next monday it comes off. Took me half an hour to upload 5mbs yesterday... good to see new stuff from you though!

grooki

grooki

ah thanks for the feed back guys! I had recently wondered whether the sub is too high, still not really sure about it.

And yes, I'll call the new genre Space Dub, or Spub for short.

grooki

I certainly am not missing any mcs, I find they generally detract from whatever is being played. A ragga style mc on jungle is aight, but usually they disturb the build ups and the movment

grooki

never heard of him, but this guy sounds really interesting...

grooki

new track on myspace

www.myspace.com/grookidub

whattaya think?

grooki

yes, oh course

grooki

Yep, my own limiter. Club limiters are applied in real time to the mixing signal before it reaches the sound system, and (should) only kick in at the sound system's maximum level, or the set loudness level determined by the audio dude running things there to prevent damage to the speakers and peopl...

grooki

If I play my stuff in clubs before it's been mastered, I'll just ram it through a limiter so it's at a similar level to other tracks, but yeah what I send off to the mastering house always has plenty of headroom on it and nothing on the master bus... I trust their ears more than mine when it comes ...

grooki

i read something a while ago about people trying to make tunes sound like tunes that have already been mastered, working and checking your tune against a finished product then sending it off to get mastered and the whole thing just leads to tunes getting louder and louder... Mmm not necessarily. I ...

grooki

this isn't seany-poos place is it?

grooki

before this thread goes off the rails, remember that I am looking for a room!

grooki

ah you're back. How was the 4wd trip? it was really great, we were away for about 7 months all up, went all the way around in a clockwise direction (so to Perth-side first). Australia is an amazing place, I mean basically it is several countries it is so big. And living in the cities is completely ...

grooki

My girlfriend and I are looking for a room to rent, preferably on the north east side, eg Carlton Fitz Collingwood, Brunswick, Richmond etc. We like going out to gigs and stuff, next year we'll probably both be studying... We don't want to live in a purely party house, but parties are good. We can p...

I think 400s are about $700 each, 800s are a bit over $1000

grooki

yes maybe the 400s... decisions decisions

grooki

Avoid anything with a rotating turntable. I've heard the Denons are good as well, laid out similarly to the Pioneers. Hell, even the Pioneer CDJ200 isn't that far from a CDJ800/1000 except for the size + feel. if the feel is different, mayaswell get another sort? The ones I have been looking aren't...

grooki

I have been looking around on the storedj etc and it looks like there are a lot of cheaper cdjs than the pioneer range, with a comparable amount of features etc. Is the fuss about Pioneer just tradition? I mean, how hard could it be to adjust to a new jog wheel?

grooki

sounds interesting, I'll definitely be checking it out!

grooki

wow man this thread is fantastic. im about to get some cdjs, so this thread is my new baby

just one? how much?

edit: oh, and why are you selling em?

grooki

that sounds like good advice a1. I am looking around at the moment too and have come to the conclusion that I'll probably get the 800s, new... Buying second hand stuff is fuckin terrifying especially if you have no idea (like me

)

grooki

one major problem is where the hell can you get reliable info on what the impacts of each of the technologies actually is?

grooki

it's looking pretty bleak in all directions, since any nuclear plants are going to take years and years to build, 'clean' coal is at the best coming in 2020, presuming the technology works... I think giving rebates to the solar industry is a very small measure, and one that at least at the moment ma...

grooki

yes I agree that the whole emissions trading business is difficult to get a grip on. A nice clear and simple explanation of the way it would work would be very useful for me, I should wiki it. I have read an article about european companies buying carbon credits from 'clean' projects in developing c...

well, it was interesting seeing Benga in his studio, but basically it was listening to him mumble and fuck about with his tracks.

I am hoping to get some cdjs pretty soon and so all this has been very useful... since most of you have said that the pioneer cdjs are widely used and feel consistent, how are the different price levels reflected in the cdjs themselves? 100s are $500, 1000MK3s are $1600, what are the practical diffe...

in mt Gambia now, it's pretty cool. been listening to some dubstep in the car to with my bootleg soundsytem setup: kinetic invertor plugged into the cigarette lighter, plug your $80 logitec speakers with sub into that, and the speaker jack into headphone hack of discman. Instant doof!
