Hi all, this just popped up with us and i thought id pass it on here... Hope you are well, and a big Hi to James and Maria, Good luck keeping the rabble civil At a quick glance they have still gone with the stupid green - yellow - red system of lights, Why the fack anyone designs a mixer with the optimum level half way up the faders is a bit of a mystery to me. I cant see from that picture, but i hope they have the 0db mark at the top of the reds this time rather than at the top of the greens. Either that, or the mixer should give the DJ a shock from the mains when they go into the reds. Also it seems like they have left off the sampler / effects un…

Hi All Just found this on another site.. it's from Paul Kershaw : As you may or may not know, I have a show on the Galaxy Network (Galaxy 102, 102.2, 105, 105/6) which is broadcast over most of the UK either on FM or DAB digital radio. It's also available on Sky Channel 921, Cable & NTL. The show is called Solid State and is broadcast Saturday nights 7pm-9pm. The music is predominantly 'trance' and has a variety of features, one of which is the Sol Showcase. Over the last 15 months, the Showcase has featured some of the world's finest dj talent in a 30 minute mix. As of 2005, every month I will be featuring a mix from someone who has yet to be recogni…

Help! When I am using the sequencer or pads on the sytrus addon for FL, I place say 1 block on the grid where all the other riffs are, and the the sequencer keeps on going after the block has finished until the end of the track! How do I get it to stop at the end of the block I have placed down??? (I hope this makes sense to anyone out there). Any suggestions???

Hi. I noticed that there was some sort of halt on CTW DJs. Is this a permanent thing or what? I would really like to upload a DJ profile of myself on CTW. Anyone know whats going on?

...is fucking immense!! Just got back from Planet Zogg in Sheffield where I have finally got chance to witness his live set - anyone who likes hard dance NEEDS to see this guy

Hey everyone! With the hard dance scene taking many directions now, I would like to know what you prefer. Do you prefer the bouncy style hard house or the more techy sounds? Living where I do, I have become a little bored of relentless beats and not enough melody and uplift. To go out and see DJs like Adam Beyer, Rush, Chris Liebing, Monika Kruse and loads of others has become a little monotonous for me. They are great DJs for sure, but the beats are a bit samey sometimes now. I have visited the Uk many times over the past year or so, searching for the uplift and crescendos that Hard House does so well. I'm a little concerned that with the more techy directi…

The effervescent UK hard dance scene has seen many changes over the last few months. Different sub-genres of the overall genre have grown out of nowhere and many have continued to flourish. One predominant factor seems to be a key issue within these sweeping changes though – and that is the level of intelligence and forward thinking injected into the scene. With this in mind, take time to witness the birth of ‘Shroom Recordings’. With overall control of the label (and as its owner and head of A&R), Sam Townend’s ethos behind the label is one that firmly follows the ‘forward thinking’ nature of the scene. On the commencement of the label, Sam commen…

I dont know what a stylus is tbh. Could someone explain this also

Not sure if I am posting this in the right place, but what or who got you into wanting to learn to mix etc?

From their website "...FinalScratch 2. This complete package lets you play digital music files from any analog turntable or CD player..." from A.N. Other msg board (posts not from me)... **** Originally posted by Dj Spiel >Man, I am still confused. WHat does Finalscratch really do? > >It let's you mix on a Computer? With mp3's? It lets you mix digital files (MP3, WAVs, AIFFs etc) using turntables. You get special vinyls with it when you buy which makes it possible for finalscratch to determine where on the vinyl you're playing and hence play MP3s just as you would play vinyl. Anything you can do with vinyl you should be…

It's bloody expensive but I'm giving some serious thought to buying one of these. My old mixer is playing up a bit, and besides I've fancied moving up to a 3- or 4-channel mixer for a while now. The specs all look great on paper (4 channels, aux sends, assignable crossfader -- basically everything I'm looking for) and I've read that the build quality is excellent. Plus the filters are a bonus. My only gripe at this stage is a superficial one -- it could look a bit cooler! Any comments? Has anybody used one before? Can anybody suggest a cheaper alternative with similar specs? The other main contender was the Ecler SMAC Pro 40 -- fewer bells and whistles but highly reputab…
