    I need some help... I'm trying to copy a few discs using nero, however....... I was under the impression that providing the tracks are split on the original disc this will be evident on the copys. Of the 6 that i've copied so far non of them have the tracks split, do i need to re-record the mix onto my pc, split the tracks myself, then burn new copies?

    What a program!! our timestreching days are over! This program is basically a sequencer except that it will timestretch in real tim eany sample to fit with the current bpm of the song that your working on. so say if you have your purcussion loops running 140bmp and and want to stick a bassline over the top that is originally 130bpm - it will make it fit straight away - no waiting for processing or anything! so the possiblities for this for a live dj performance are endless - take a lapton to a gig with shit loads of samples and loops on and inorporate them into your set! top stuff!

    Allen and Heath X One 92 Remortgage your house to buy this mixer, if you have to... This is the best mixer ever. The sound quality is unrivalled, the features are unsurpassed - especially the low frequency oscillator. The 4 band eq on four independant channels are superior, and the low, mid and high band pass filters give excellent flexibilty for creative djs, the penny + giles crossfader is smooth and not too loose, with the xone: 92 crossfader curve being more to my liking. In addition, the intelligent post eq system is excellenty implemented. combine this and my ttx1's and you have got the ultimate setup for the real creative djs out there, i'm now …

    right guys - i'm as thick as shit when it comes to producing so i'm gonna try and leach some free pointers from u guys. what kind of volume levels work best for diff styles of music? what arrangements work effectively to give a track some pace to it? do filters help with the use of percussion? what sort of frequences should the percussion be playing at? what different types of percussion are there out there and do some work better than others for specified tasks? have i left anything out? basically once i've learned how to use percussion in a very formalaic way, i can then start to use some imagination and play about a bit. but at the moment my tracks …

    One more problem I have been getting......Wonder if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening.... I've only just finished my mix-cd but that's only cos I have borrowed my mates CD writer and recorded from my hi-fi directly onto that, and then opened it up in Soundforge. When I was trying to record it directly onto Soundforge, I would finish my mix and go back to listen to it...At random points in the mix, there would be some strange noises come in...Kinda like if u had a cd playing and it skipped There didn't seem to be any pattern as to when this happened. I use the booth monitor output on the mixer (DJM600) and plug it into my soundcard and adjust the …

    Hello Wonder if anyone can help me ... Am wondering what program does everyone use to split their mix into individual tracks after recording it? I have got Soundforge6.0, but I can't for the life of me figure it out......I put the markers in, but it's what to do after that which confuses me. If need be, can download another program to split the tracks (MOD - would have downloaded that program u said but don't have Kazaa and can't find it elsewhere). Joe

    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.

    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.
