Does anyone know of any companies/sites that can do this quite cheaply?

Whos got 1 and are they worth buying, im contemplating on getting 1 but had good/bad feedbacks off people. What do you think i should do?

...for a specific tune, or to make a change to the style you are playing, do you just say yes to them regardless of whether or not you are going do what they ask, or do you just blatently turn around and say no? Obviously sometimes its not gonna be practical to do what they've asked, like last month when I was in the middle of playing a melodic trance set, and someone came up to me and asked for Enrique Iglesias!!! So was just wondering what some of you did in these situations Cheers!

how much of a "zone" do you get in? eg...mozart got on a 3 day bender when he was writing one of his pieces, and couldn't remember writing half of what was actually in it. so when ur in the middle of a set, it's all in full flight, and you're picking the right tunes to build up to hostile or agnelli&nelson, can you actually remember what you're doing and what you're thinking, or does it all become a flying blurred trip? (no dr*g references intended) and after you're done, could u write a tracklisting, or do u generally have no idea what actually went out [pls move forum if u think]

i've been apart of something like this before, bassically someone wrote apart of a tune, then sent it to me, i added my bit then passed it onto the next person, they added their bit, passed it on etc etc - the end result was quite interesting, if i remember right the tune was around a hour long, however this was back in the day when i was using trackers, so file sizes and that was alot smaller then. Would anyone be up for doing this on CTW? Bassically we pick ONE program that every knows reasonably well, or wants to learn more about the program, then as above someone writes a part then passes it on. The orginal sample pack will of course need to be updated shoul…

who ever said you dont need your music loud is talking complete and utter bullshit!!! the moment i moved out of my parents house and into my current place i've struggled to beat match let alone ne thing else that goes with being a DJ. the reason being i have to keep the music so stupidly quiet (talking volume!!!) that i just cant get a feel for the music like i used to. i have no idea what record will sound good with others. i just lost all instinct i used to have. cant wait to get out of this shit hole fukin inconsiderate neighbers(sp?)

rally driving......... the fastest dwarf in the north (that was him yesterday at American adventure, before he shit himself....god fairground rides have changed since i was a kid )

last week when i was in my local record shop, chatting away to the guy who runs it he said this to me: "its been quiet in here lately because everyone seems to be buying online. they oftern have more selection or cheeper prices" granted the stuff he stocks (techno, breaks, house and the faster stuff) isnt in much demand in mid essex (everyone is into r&b or d& but for me his is the best record shop i've been to. has exactly the records i'm after (rare do i need to look else where). infact he has very simular tastes to music as me and when ever i'm looking to branch out a bit or unsure of what CD compliation to buy, he know EXACTLY what i will like. …

During the Build up to the mother of all Hard Dance events, Clubtheworld caught up with Nukleuz/Frantic resident DJ Guffy to ask him about Living in London, the hard dance scene and nerves. We asked Guffy the following questions: CTW - You were chosen as one of Mixmags future heroes and they have predicted that you are set to become hard dance's answer to Pete Tong. Quiet a complement (congratulations), how does this make you feel? GUFFY - Hehe, I had a giggle when I read that. The whole Mixmag Future Hero’s thing has been amazing to be honest. Despite what people opinions are about the magazine it’s still the biggest there is the scene, so to have their…

i've not DJed much but have a good idea what is going on and i'd like to think i can roughly beatmatch. the problem is that most i've spoke to want to upgrade their decks from whatever direct-drive decks they have to 1210s. is it worth me taking the intermediate step and buying two DD decks and a mixer for £250 - £350 or will i just want technics as soon as i get them? incidentally, if any of you have two 1210s and a DJM 600 for £70, I'd be interested. thats a very reasonable price.

All, Anyone who is just getting into music production - I seriously recommend the following magazines ... Music Tech Magazine Computer Music Myself and Andy (LiquidEyes) went to the Sounds Expo show in London recently and we signed up to Music Tech magazine - I hadn't heard of it before and they were giving away the current issue plus a free set of sample CDs for like £5... Anyway, I just got through the next issue (April) and I have to say i'm VERY impressed with their tutorials - especially their "Ten Minute Master" series ... And in this months edition you get a free mini booklet describing 23 of the essential methods, theories & practic…

if you was looking for work but struggled would you compromise your music to try and get work?

my normal mixer i use cuts each setting by -26db and goes up to +12db (tascam X-15) another mixer i have goes from -30db to +10db (numark DM3000X) whilst i don't use the +ve readings that often, when cutting the bass to bring a track in, i find that the -26db is perfect and that -30db is too much if that makes sense. This means that i can't cut the -30db one all the way without loosing some of the higher end sounds as well. Whilst this isn't an actual problem it does mean that it makes me fck my mixes up occasionally as i cut it too much. Just wondering what values every1 else likes to use and whether they use the full range of that to cut the bass?

What do people suggest, and does anyone have anything cheap going?

With one of the most talked about events of the year just around the corner (Frantic/Wildchild), we at Clubtheworld with help from our friends at Frantic have taken the oppotunity to interview one of the hottest new DJ's on the Hard Dance scene. This Dj is resident at Mixmags club of the year 2002 "Goodgreef" and is set to blow Frantic/Wildchild apart. We asked DJ Shan the following questions: CTW - Your a Mixmag Future Hero as well as Resident at GoodGreef (Mixmag Hard Dance Club of the Year). When you started out did you think you would ever imagine this would be the case? SHAN - Not at all, when I started out I wasn't even old enough to get into clubs, so I…

Righty, I finally got sick of my crappy decks and I'm gonna get either Vestax 2300's (which I haven't played on) or the Technics MK5's (which I have played on and liked a lot !). Any opinions would be appreciated ! Also, if I were to go for the cheaper option of a pair of MK2s second hand, is there anything to look out for in the way of them being knackered ?

During the build up to Frantic/Wildchild at the SEOne Club on the 20th March, ClubTheWorld with the help of their friends at Frantic thought it would be a good idea to interview one of the headlining DJ's at the event. JFK is a resident and promoter at Passion and rocks some of the country’s top clubs on a weekly basis. We asked JFK the following questions: CTW - Did you go to the miami music conference? and if so what new tunes did you pick up and who passed them on to you. JFK - No I hated Miami when I went, full of arrogant industry music people… I like to keep it real. CTW - Do you get recognised in the street or do you see yourself as an underg…

finally got a 2nd cdj1000 and the difference it has made to my mixing style is amazing. Sounds so much better and i've only done 20 mins of mixing with both of them.

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?

I know this has probably been asked hundred's of times before but i'm wandering how i go about it, I have my mix on Minidisc, DAT, cd and also wav & mp3 files, so how do i host my mix, do i need to have my own website or can i use other peoples server etc? I know you can send it to gurn.net & they do it for you but their a bunch of ######s? help appreciated cheers

does anyone know of any

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 …
