[censored] me what a steep learnign curve it is, but what a fuckin class program. Really is a gem to work with. So far the best music program i've used. That's not many but i've already got to the stage i was with fruity in a couple days and more.

Dont you just hate it when you order some tunes over the net, and the odd one or two are warped (look like a badly tossed pancake!! ) had this trouble today, just been to the post office to pick a package up, nipped home to have a listen and discovered some are warped! nice one! (They are deffo getting sent back! )

Hi peeps, my mixer is knackered, and as it is only a Vestax PCV 003, I was wondering if it was worth getting it fixed, or saving up for a new one. What would people recommend in the £300-400 range, as I'd really like to hear some opinions, cos I don't believe I'm the most knowledgeable in this area!!! Thanks peeps!!

I am now the proud owner of yet another set of 1210's (I now have 4!!) MK5G's are absolute quality! - +/- 16% pitch, dipless pitch, Pitch Reset I am well impressed with these, and defo recommend a set to anyone!

Cos i'm greedy, i have 3 pairs of 1210's, MK2 & 3's & LTD's (21st b'day pressie) MK2's & DJM600 - Used for party's etc. MK3's & Vestax PCV275 - everyday use LTD's & Vestax PMC55a - hardly used Coming soon, either MK5's or MK5G's ( + & - 16 pitch)

The two CDs went in the 1st post today, so should be with you 2morrow or Sat. Hope they fit the bill.

I wouldn't mind a listen. I sjould have a new track to demo in the next few days

woohoo - am well happy with it... copied it from Karims' "Live In London" mix cd so I now have chance to play it

I think the best looking female DJ is.... Anne Savage Charlotte Birch DGSG DJ Rap Donna Birt Lisa Lashes Lisa Pin-Up Lottie Miss Behavin Rachel Auburn Sophie Sugar Tara Reynolds Spot the odd one out! Note I have not included myself as I do not want too make the others look stupid.

Well what do you think, as i'm on the dawn of starting to learn the massive task of Logic, i have wondered what is better. Some say personal preference as there so close. What you think?

I know there's another "mixer recommendation" thread but I'm thinking of getting a new mixer too, and I have some specific requirements... 1. at least 3 channels (so I can do "proper" 3-deck mixing) 2. assignable x-fader (so I can, say, assign two channels to one side and one to the other) 3. usual EQ controls on each channel (bass, mid, high) 4. aux send/return 5. not too expensive! But not too crap either! Under £400/£500 would be good.

A few days ago I saw Boy George play at Es Paradis and I have to say I was pretty impressed! His mixing wasn't amazing but his style of music was interesting and different, really nice trancey/funky house, I really enjoyed it! Any of you lot heard his stuff? (seriously, lol) Highlight of the night: djTommy: 'Can I have my photo taken with you?' Boy George: 'Oooooo aren't you cute?'

Usually the words "hard" and "trance" do not get me very excited. Although I do like trance, and I do like hard music, the prospect of going to a hard trance night generally conjures an image of nancy fluffy melodic nonsense over a mindlessly fast beat. At least, that's what I thought until I went to "Time Machine" at The Fridge in Brixton, last night. The music was superb - right across the spectrum of psytrance, hard techno and dark intense trance. And I had the pleasure of witnessing an outstanding live act: Nuw Idol. The prospect of "live" dance music doesn't usually get me excited either. Indeed, one of the earlier live acts was very much "hard trance …

Now being a bit [censored] with computers, I need to know which is the best software for burning CD's on my home computer, and trackmarking them. I need my new CD copied ASAP and I don't know anyone who is willing to do it, so I need the software that I can do it with, and need some advice. Thanks, Ali xx

Ortofon Nightclub "S"

not too pricey if needs be but i have little idea what to get was gonna get the "sure whitelabels" (i think thats what its called) but cant afford em ne more

Have just got a copy of Cubase VST Version 2 - is this any good & am i gonna be able to make tunes on it ok?

is here (streams). http://212.134.194.132/blank/feelingit.ram Reviews/feedback appreciated I think the mixing on here is the best I've ever done on a demo. Most mixes are either in key or in keys which work together. Let me know what you think Graham

I notice there are lots of reason users on here. I have been using it for about 6 months and although I wouldn't say I've mastered it - I have a pretty good understanding of the whole program now. I can honestly say that the only way to go is to read the manual. SOUnds boring but it's got to be done.

i do haha!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to blinks comments, i want demos from male djs only as females cant mix!
