YES!!!

most seriously - top pic for me.

I sold one to first floor and they got upset cos the DJ's didn't know how to use it...

FoundationStepper

there are way too many red lights on the DJM 600 I mean half the the whole channel meter is red, what would be the point of that many red lights, surely if it was going to sound terrible or distort then you'd only need a few at the top to warn you. I think it's designed badly for this reason. My ne...

yep

FoundationStepper

I like it too... I mean that it makes less a calibrated instrument which responds as accurately as any other good mixer should, and more like a fun box or squeegy hammer. and if you are a dj you should know what distortion and clipping is and that you should avoid it rather than running into the red...

FoundationStepper

check for mono mixdown and related phase issues

FoundationStepper

Dont have any issues with normalising, its standard for all my mixes... normalising is just amplifying to the point just below clip. I tend to normalise, then find peaks, remove/envelope/compress any overt peaks (record pops or errant snares for eg) then normalise again. re noise floor, its more sig...

FoundationStepper

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Pioneer DJM 800 mixer, check it out http://www.djmag.com/tech/Pioneer_DJM-800.pdf looks better than bloody old DJM 600 midi is a good feature - and it sounds like effects are better than before (they really were awful to work with before) but still not full cut eq! wha...

FoundationStepper

We all know how things arent being done properly, but none of us are in the position to prove the venues wrong!! its true dammit... and for the record Brown Alley IMO is better than plenty others. it just frustrates me to see something get in the way, when the pa has more potential. Australia is fu...

FoundationStepper

I know the whole sound thing seems old news now, but really, these thoughts have been sitting in my head for ages now. its a pity

FoundationStepper

Ok I will make this brief and to the point. Its not political or biased, its based on my experince going to look at sound issues there and working in PA land for a while. Brown alley has phase issues with bass. Even moreso in the upstairs room with four sub stacks (last time I was there) With music ...

Hi,

asking for a friend...

my mate is encoding mp3s for his radio show, using audition...

he says he can only encode 32Kbps 11KHz !?

So im wondering for users of the program, where is the option for changing the mp3 encoding setting...

cheers

FoundationStepper

If youve flown over here to play you should be able to do without a ciggie for a good 8 hours at least!

FoundationStepper

How did you find john sayers?

FoundationStepper

i spent weeks resarching the topic and couldnt find anything substantial to demonstrate that. However, I can totally believe its the case... would love to see examples...

NY has a really strict noise code which doesnt make many concessions for patron noise

Fuck yes there was

About park reinstatement...

but having it promised as a one off helped to settle people

I determined the noise limits for the event last year

FoundationStepper

have you checked john sayers forums also? i know its not local but its valuable

FoundationStepper

the miso remix is so so nice

FoundationStepper

listening now... its the sickness

seriously I think im gonna puke

FoundationStepper

This is a nice roots based mix recorded last sunday, im pretty happy with it as it was all made up as I went... playing at Black Cat Cafe Part A is a nice mix of foundation and digital roots reggae and dub - about an hour... http://www.croakinglizard.com/audio/foundationstepper_blackcatA_mono_192k.m...

me

my girlfriend

its certainly a factor, although not a reason not to go by itself... it makes the whole idea less attractive

FoundationStepper

workshop is. certainly... taking your example, result with revolver or hifi is basically no smoking at all then... unless there was a limited pass out system to say 10 people at once... (dont know how do do that though) the question being - is that a problem? interesting evidence from overseas is th...

FoundationStepper

It would be silly but people dont think about noise when they start a venue. it happens all the time. Well are there circunstances where it seems reasonable to issue pass outs? What do people think about what might be manageable tools to minimise on street noise? Input would be good, im trying to fo...

FoundationStepper

It has directly created noise issues in NY apparently due to patrons on the street, partly becuase of the strict noise laws there...

FoundationStepper

Again, although it is indirectly about people smoking less, it is directly about OHS.

It is my understanding of the law, and it is also the interpretation of the magistrate...

FoundationStepper

I look forward to DJing places like kent street or other cafe/bars with my son strapped to my back with no issues regards to smoke... would be fun!

FoundationStepper

OK this is an interesting element. How do you control the exit of patrons onto the street? The VCAT decision was interesting in that the member said that when the venue charges a door charge, that there should be no passouts on that occasion. whereas when there is no covercharge then it would probab...

FoundationStepper

it is that the legislation is now saying that pretty much MOST of the venues in melburn will have to be shut down if they do not modify....to accomodate.. As i indicated earlier, really the only way it can apply retrospecively is through a condition on a liquor license when they are renewed. If the...

FoundationStepper

I have read the decision a few times. I actually think a lot of it is well structured and thought out. However, what it fails to do is recognise what may be understood to be reasonble amenity impacts given the zoning in which an application occurs. It does indicate that responsible authorities (ie c...

FoundationStepper

Smoking rooms and actively ventilated rooms are not allowed.

open outdoor areas only.

FoundationStepper

in refernce to a suitably designed outdoor area for new premises, the magistrate said "we consider that a similar approach should apply to existing uses, although we recognise that it may not always be possible to implement this approach through the planning system. It will be up to the Dirctor...

FoundationStepper

its an OHS thing.

a smoking area need a certain level of natural ventilation, therefore (presumably) any bus boys or waiters dont cop too much smoke damage when servicing that area

FoundationStepper

FoundationStepper

so you played upstairs?

FoundationStepper

indeed

dont know if it a DJ or live set though?

Unsoundbwoy told me his set up north was tops, using contact mics and shit...

I missed him by 2 days in osaka, and now have 5 week old baby - likelihood of seeing him? slim unfortunately

Has anyone had felafel from Half moon in coburg?

Best in melbourne I reckon

Well im not so sure its atomica now... thats the brand - supreme (tip of my tongue before) Rays is good Palimo is nice, its the guy who used to run/work at rue bebelons. its jaspers, but not quite as good a blend as the one at greengrocer i think. its off syndey road, near victoria street, where the...

Will it be anything like this?

FoundationStepper

one thing to keep in mind is future upgrades to mixers... its shit to be stuck only being able to use one certain type becuase thats the size of the frame...

FoundationStepper

there is some springiness required... you might just want to make a comparison to what your used to

FoundationStepper

little grumpy dean...

yes the springs need replacement from time to time - i think long term vibration has an effect on the properties of the spring...

FoundationStepper

I do really vouch for the warehouse sound style ones... call dean light dimensions or warehouse sound about the spec/costs etc

they arent perfect but there really isn't such a thing...

FoundationStepper

ShiKung - do you mean dean light dimensions or another person... dean has the warehouse sound designed sprung tables.... the priciple being isolation and levelling through the springs, and the slabs to get the right amount of stiffness and balance, with enough compression to maintain isolation witho...

FoundationStepper

are you wanting the stand or the case?

the table/stand is another matter.

warehouse sound were behind the sprung/slab trolley design which has been used or copied by hifi and firstfloor

that brings in the whole issue of vibration/feedback isolation...

FoundationStepper

road ready are really quite cheap, in contrast to what smif is saying.

FoundationStepper

transit pack do custom roadcases/flightcases etc... also those bonded plastic cases which aren't real flightcase standard, but fine for general use. the thing is that making something up from roadready cases is usually cheaper than a custom job these days. road ready are prefab turntable and mixer c...

oh yeah and rosemond
