LabRat

update: just got some new toys! i still need to make room for them but the new additions to my music life are these bad boys plan is to spend most of the weekend sorting out my room, especially where my decks are. thinking of making a custom laptop stand which can hold my KP3 and laptop (for when i record my mixes). the kaossilator wont be much of a problem since i bought it for production only and being so small it can easily sit on my synth without blocking anything. KP3 is awesome! Kaossilator has some crazy sounds in it! thinking that i coulda waited out and bought the pro version for all the midi just to make it a lil easier but its still an awesome lil machine now to learn how to work the Kaoss Pad lol

id go one of these. anyone have one?

ah i see. just been reading up on it since on light duties at work and cant really do much else. oh and i was a drummer once lol

yeh quick cut is just a flick of the finger i guess. i just checked up on what carpal tunnel is and shit dude. feel bad for ya with the knobs, how does it feel if you try flick over by using your fingers in a twisting motion without the wrist? so like your index finger and thumb in a clicking sort of motion (if you kinda get what i mean lol)

i did once. id say its more or less the same as the knobs

want this and the kaossilator pro. imagine the possibilities! lol

getting mine this weekend!!

yeh thort it was along the techy sorta line lol i reckon its a smooth mix so go for it hey. gotta be in it to win it mods: feel free to delete double post. sorry lol

yup. search audacity in google or hit up www.macupdate.com

thats a good idea! i mixed for just under 2 years without monitors and that would have made my life so much easier while learning the ropes

i tried that once. epic fail for me lol i think its because i tried it first time ever with breaks :/

haha yeh it is. pritty sure every cat is playing dub now over here lol i think it was Skreams remix of in for the kill that set it nutso

its pritty good dude. started off to not be my sorta thing but turns out i'd defs have this playing at a house party. the tracks flow nicely from one another. what would you call this style? id call it house but i know its a different style of house lol

yeh true. i think here in perth is hasnt really found its way through the clubs just yet. i know of one place that plays a lot of it tho but as far as that goes, its about it

yeh good vid to help out the starting ones. im one of those dj's who will leave the pitch as it was from the previous track and then adjust from there

yeh hats and also snares are good to look out for

im 19 and wanna get out there and hit the clubs but its hard to stick to one style as i wanna try and break through many still "underground" like styles. i think at times i may be making a mistake playing fidget and just should be playing electro instead. i was wondering what the scene is like in aus and if its worth it trying to catch it while its fresh? had a bit of an eye opener a lil while ago when my mate said he liked it. he doesnt really see the point in electronic music so for him to say that was kinda good. i guess the main question is, being a new sorta style breaking into the scene, will it last long?

i use a mac and its easy!

if im out of sync i hear the jungle beats (double beat) but to get it in sync i wait until i hear on solid beat. when i first started out i use to hear frequencies of the 2 bass tones clashing. thats when i didnt really know what to do lol

at work but when i get home ill check this one out. recognize some of the artists so should be good

audacity! best way. if you got a mac its free too. just go straight into your imput and hit record

i think its crap. from what i understand, it works like the Genius system implemented on iTunes. for anyone that doesnt use iTunes, Genius is a recognition system that recommends downloads related to your library's content. this seems to be the file version of that. my vote's no

cool bananas im back at work unfortunetly and didnt get that track finished but i'll be aiming for the 1st of march
