Was thinking about the things clubs to to shake things up a bit, like b2b's and getting djs to play a differnet genre to normal, like passion has been recently and I had a thought. Has a club ever got Djs to swap boxes with someone else? I don't think it'd work too well across genres (can't imagine glazby playing funky etc) but within HH I think it'd work well. Opinions? And before any one else says it: Yes it would be could to see what Lashes could do if she played with Savages box.

Give details of producers and tracks that epitomize ur sound at the moment Mine is a blend of andy farley, nick sentience, paul maddox and phil reynolds. Riffs i'm big into at the moment are things like 'Paul Maddox - Revolution', 'Miss Behavin - such a good feelin (Barely Legal mix)', 'Andy Farley & Nick Sentience - checkmate' Also still love my hard trance but not the airy fairy stuff.

does anyone percieve a real difference between these two mp3 bitrates? i can tell the diff between Cd and mp3 (not hard to) - cd sounds a bit clearer and sharper with "tingly" top frequencies (but i believe that's to do with the 44khz sampling, not the bitrate?), doesn't the higher bitrate just make it sound a bit "smoother" and more "polished"? doing a soulseek search....most pop songs seem to be encoded at 128kbps, while new dance tracks seemt o be 192.

not sure if any of you have seen this before - i've only come across it tonight. Open Labs announced that shipment of the neKo is scheduled for February 16, 2004. The neKo combines the power and flexibility of personal computers with the real-world playability of traditional electronic keyboards, allowing musicians the ability to use virtual instruments and effects plug-ins in a studio or live performance setting. The release and shipment of the neKo marks over a year of intense research and development by Open Labs. In addition to the mechanical and electronic design of the neKo, great care was taken to optimize the performance of the W…

compression 1 2

been chatting to a big DJ as i've asked him about compression used in club sound systems and would it effect mixes. He said that yeah compression always affects your set. all i can say is if you don't know the fundamentals of compression then dont let it worry you. my BIG advice is dont push the gains. keep everything at the right levels. monitors the gains well, before you bring each record in. Does anyone know anything about the fundamentals of compression mixing?????????

My mixer is slowly dying So i'm on the look out for a new one! I want something a bit better than my current one but don't have a lot to spend... What are people's views on Behringer mixers?

I'm looking for a new soundcard. Slick simultaneous multi-track recording / playback is the top priority. * rack-mountable (1 or 2U) * at least 8 analogue ins and 8 outs (pref balanced) * plus digital in (SPDIF) * preferably Firewire (or USB2) * 2+ MIDI interfaces would be a bonus, otherwise I'll have to get a separate MIDI interface as well Here are the ones I've considered so far: Hercules FW 16/12 ~£350 the most promising candidate so far but it doesn't come out until end of February! Arse! M-Audio Delta 10/10 ~£450 fair all-rounder, but I've heard bad things about their Windows XP drivers, plus the above should deliver more for less dosh MOT…

2003 was an awesome clubbing year for me and I'd be interested to hear what other people's fave sets of the year were. Here are mine... 1. Luke Neville - Serious @ Cross - 20.09.03 The departure of the King and didnt we know it. This set was absolute perfection. You could see that he had put months of thought into his track selection and the crowd adored him for it. 2. Eddie Halliwell - Gatecrasher @ Heaven - 30.05.03 Eddie completely blew me and those around me away. He was awesome and it was the most energetic, up for it DJ performance I had ever witnessed. Met StuJ randomly afterwards and we enthused about Eddie for ages and have become best mates e…

just installed this and it sounds much like my nova. looks like im not really gonna use my nova much anymore (not that i really used it anyway, cos it doesnt hold a candle up to my Virus).. its nice to have a bit of a mess around with. i always thought the the K-stastion was a nova clone, but after looking at it, its missing a few of the nova/supernova parameters (mainly sync and modulation stuff). not a bad synth// cant understand why Novation have done this.. who is gonna buy a K-station now? talk about putting themselves out of buisiness..idiots.
