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.

Evenin' Peeps, I'd like to grab samples whilst out 'n about then upload them to my PC for noodling, what does eveyone here use? I'm considering a Sony Minidisc, but not sure what model. H

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…

What are peoples views on this? is this the next "best thing"Technics SL-DZ1200 Digital Turntable ???

Just been sorting out my website today and now 'most' of the mixes work www.chrishawkes.com

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?????????

i know there already has been a post bout her but..... im just listenin/watchin the online mix off BPM of her and more and more i see and hear she reminds me soooo much of lisa lashes!! she even dances like lashes!! didnt really agree with the lashes wanna b [censored] b4 but now im a bit but fair play 2 the lass i never seen her live but she is good at what she does!

Can anyone recommend a CHEAP mixer? I mean CHEAP. I dont want any of this "If you spend an extra £xx, you can get so and so." NO, i just wanna know of a cheap mixer has EQs, and let me listen to both tunes in the headphones (unlike the big pile of shite i have now...) Im looking @ under 60 sheets.

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? They seem to only make mixers that are blatent copies of other companies. Are these cheap alternatives worth a look or should I steer clear of them??? Discuss.....

Does anyone know anywhere to get these at a reasonable price, my local Dotvinyl doesn't have them and HTFR and Chemical seem a bit pricey?

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…

i have entered the superstar dj compation in dj mag good luck to me hay

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.

If anyone is interested in this just 3 months old and boxed as new Email sensible offers at darryl@holiday-accomm.com

Some arent available to buy anymore, i was just wondering if this was a good deal or not? It includes P&P. Im posting this here cos all it got in General Discussion was a load of bullshit answers. NOT ONE was any use to me or on topic.
