http://www.therecordstore.com.au/1battle.htm heres recordstores stock last updated 19th and they gots plenty of the dirt style range (nearly 80% of those in the photo): dirt style 10th anniversary; bionic boogers; gag seal; breaktionary series; scratchy seal (which i assume is the legendary super seal one i.e. look at half the you tube vids and you see the flying seal, thats super seal or super seal 2); scratchy seal in 3d; sealed breaks which i think was the first of the super seal series; i think cop porn is theirs too as i said previously i have super seal; dirt style 10th anniversary and looking at the list i think i also have all star dirt style battle (i got too excited and bought these, but still trying to learn how to mix!). they are all good. another series i heard was good are the duck break series

red eye sells brand new records from their inner city store (i think corner of kent & king st), not sure what their stock is like but you can definitely order the super seal/ dirt style records from their website. yeah youre right spank has heaps of new dance records of all genres but their battle stuff was limited. i still rection recordstore is the go. only prob is they usually buy heaps then let their stock run down, and then re-order, so you just have to be there at the right time (but you can put yer name down for the next shipment). does central station still exist on oxford street? for some reason i thought it was gonski how many are you thinking of getting? i remember when thud rumble (qberts store which sells all the super seals/ dirt style battle records) was having a sale, i figured i could get 5 records from them direct cheaper than here. but if you not ordering much i guess not worth it (though you could get a couple battle records, a couple of dvd's and some butter rugs and it might be worth your while).

recordstore, which is around the corner-ish from spank also has some.

using it internally though will be heaps diff then using it externally, which should basically be the same as using it without traktor (give or take the 5ms delay which may or may not be humanly noticeable). a mate of mine who's been djing for a bit was quite impressed with it when he saw mine. he was strictly turntables and vinyl kinda thinking the whole traktor thing was just a novel toy. but when he realised that using scratch pro that it was basically the same as using the tt's just with the ability to access your digital music files (of which like me he had already amassed hard drives full of) he was sold on the idea. and conversely, when i swung by his place and hopped on his tt's using vinyl i was no better or worse having wholly learned using tt's and traktor alone. and all of that was just using it in absolute mode. looking at all the clips theres plenty more you can do with it should you wish. the only thing i can't guarantee is playing out with it. anybody on here do it? people on the NI site are divided (those that swear by it and those that would never risk it) EDIT: as you can tell all of these comments are based on tt's, havent used cd's

hey yo

hey tomy just note if you don't have an external sound card, or an internal sound card with two outs, you can't cue with your headphones. but at least you can get the gist of how it all works.

hey. yeah probably not my style, a little minimal (stealing from cbg above) for me. i mean i dont mind lighter tracks but prob for more keyed up tracks, or dub type tracks. i like the final section from 3.33 best, nice percussions/ drums (ha ha again i struggle with production speak)

hold the phone - oh man yet anothe awesome bootleg. while im prob still a fan of the orig with all its juking goodness, but your bootleg would be perfect for an electro/ breaks mix or even a lighter funk house mix.

a girl like you - damn that was awesome, let alone for a bootleg. i want to do that type of shyte one day. enjoyed that very much. that first drop/ transition from the orig to your beats kills.

hey tomy. not listening anymore - awesome track. first section my fave, but the second section good too. the third one maybe could of used a bit of mixup (of maybe the first section?), but i guess it would be dj friendly to allow bringing in the next tune. either way loved it man.

hey did you put party people up for comments? or have you given up on us. anywho, loved that track. another one id def buy!! that melody from 1.00 will be in my head all day...

cant control internal with any mixer, will need one that can send MIDI info. again the pdf manual tells you abot linking in a very dry factual way. if have a tick later today ill dig up some vid/ tutorials ive seen (cant remember now where they are)

hey man. yeah i liked most of it particularly the funkiness of the start (the first min). the drop to the wobble after is good, but by the time you bring back the funk at 2.00 min im a little over the wobble. the final phrase before outro is a good ending.

hey buck. the full traktor manual i.e the pdf one not the one in the box explains all that. and yes those are the only effects (thats heaps what do you mean by not much??), and the manual pretty much explains dryly what each one does, its your imagination that determines how to use it (or youtube videos, as i said go djtechtools im ean has heaps of vids). also traktor bible is apparentally good, buy it and tell me how it is.

i only got tt's so didnt need the time code cd's. ha ha thats what you call multitasking. maybe drinking and djing is about all i can do at once. traktor will auto try to put beat markers at the start of each 4-beat section (i think), but obviously its not always accurate so there are steps for correcting it. its more helpful for getting accurate BPM info, and for using the auto-loop function i mentioned before (i.e. if you hit to loop 16 beats it will loop a correct 16 beats rather then an estimated one). i've never done it mainly cuz i play in absolute mode so never had the need. but interested to do it just so i can make more use of the looping function and my mpd24. but first i really need to improve my djing before i get all fancy

no issues? whats your pc/ mac specs? how has it been for timecode control? do you beatgrid your tracks? ha ha 20 questions.

hey buck. you move to 1.2.5?

sp3 is service pack 3, which if you have auto update turned on you probably have. other then the normal weekly updates, theyve had 3 major updates issued as service packs (which in themselves contained major updates plus amalgamated all older updates). when people state specs ive always noticed they mention what service pack, i think some people maybe hold off moving from sp1 or sp2 etc. dunno. kinda like im sticking to traktor 1.2.4 and not loading 1.2.5 becuase a lot of people say its not stable.

oh yeah. never had a drop out either. i read lots of stories about load a track and freeze but so far hasnt happened then again im just a bedroom banger who can happily train wreck on their own. heh. but still good to know.

hey tomy. im on a pc using xp sp3. its a 3 yr old asus. 2.3Ghz dual core, 2MB ram, 60 GB memory partitioned to 20/40 (but most of my music is on an external hard drive). other then the ground loop hum which i sorted (thanks to here!) works a treat. i can get latency down to the low 5ms (or whatever unit they use). i did do it lower but read somewhere they dont recommend that. i have noticed some crackling (which may have always been there) but when i unplug a wireless-n dongle i use (my wireless card for some reason caps at 300KBs when my connection can do 1MBs) it seemes to be fine. on the Native Instruments site heaps of people get crackles on Vista and cant fix it, while those on XP have found it usually relates to either "latency" or a peripheral. search the ni forum for crack and theres a few threads. EDIT: it was a V6J, the highest one they made avail in aus (which is always like two or three lower then what asia gets!), i think it was V6Jp. also note it was the old-school T dual cores. i dont know the exact difference but apparentally the 2.3Ghz of those dual cores are better then 2.3Ghz of these days despite the same speed (im not tecchy enuff to understand) i assume you getting traktor scratch so you can still use your cdj's right?

i set ie to 400% but still couldnt read, so copied to word and changed font.

damn that livid thang looks sweet. though i dont use ableton i would say go launchpad over the mpd24. i mean i likes my mpd24 but the launchpad was made native for ableton right

yeah stantons are good, go the 150's though and you guaranteed wont be let down. they a not really cheap but they go well. i got the st150's, most scratch purists will say get the str8-150's, but my mate scratches just fine with the s-arm. store dj got em for 699. i got mine for 650 in a dj warehouse sale late last year, but in the last dj warehouse sale they had them for 495 (or somehting less than $500) which is a bargain. i guess maybe wait around for the next sale? they also come up in ebay quite a lot, if you willing to go down that route. in terms of mixers, whats wrong with what you got now? as long as its got cross fade curve then it should work alright. if you think the crossfader not smooth enuff, install an innofader. ive used an older stanton s3 which was rock solid and smooth. i think its current equivalent is a good entry level scratch mixer. but personally knowing what i know now i would definitely go with more channels, and on board effects would be nice. and these days you see all the old dmc boys like a-trak rocking big 4 channel mixers.

oh yeah thats right, dirt style is the record label qbert releases them under huh. thud rumble is for his millenium falcons edit: personally i have super seal and dirt style 10th anniversary and theres plenty of stuff on them to wigga wigga.
