This is an oldie but decided to share it. Lets see if Soundcloud gives me another strike and removes my account

I've sinned some of these. 1 thing I can say is I've never stacked records. It's common sense really

yeah toneden is the same too so i think it's just whats going around at the moment

holy thread revival, batman! this just saves me spamming the boards with random shit. so as some are aware, Soundcloud is being a bully to me so I've done the grown up thing - had a bitch on social media about it, then assessed the situation. as this is not the first time mr cloud hater has done this to me, i decided to take my ventures elsewhere. ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, i preset... myself on Demo Drop come join me if you have an account. if not, get one and come join me <3 https://demodrop.com/whoislabrat

What's this for?

Welcome bud. Bunbury based?

Thanks lad

New choonage lads

I can't help on the windows front but it all comes down to how serious you are about it. A laptop would be the right way to go but there are some very cool apps available on tablets. These are the best ones available at the moment. 1) http://auriaapp.com/ This is outrageously awesome and available are FabFilter and PSP (I'm pretty sure) plugins which is even better 2) http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/mobile_apps/cubasis.html Pretty much Cubase for iOS 3) https://www.apple.com/ios/garageband/ Garageband for iOS 4) https://www.image-line.com/flstudiomobile/ipad.php FL for iOS

I find the pioneer turntable to sit inbetween the technics and the Stanton. The pioneer has a decent drive and it tracks pretty well. Definitely worth consideration. As a personal preference, I rate the Stanton quite high and prefer the 150s over the technics

aw yeah, that's an idea... i'll have a look on their facebook page now

The first in a new line of tunage

Mods: can i request a pin / sticky for this thread? I come across good, free plugins quite often and am happy to keep this thread active 82 free plugins for your enjoyment. Some of these may have popped up around here already but that's just testament to how good they are! https://splice.com/plugins/free_plugins

I think the straight arm came into it for scratching purposes. I can't remember the full story but I don't think there's too much of a difference. I've had both and they both track pretty good so it's just up to you

I would assume funk would be similar to mixing dubstep, dnb or breaks... Maybe more so hip hop. If this is so, the snare is what you'll be beat matching to as the kicks are not consistent like house style music. As far as timing in concerned, I would assume that there would be a 4 or 8 bar intro so mixing in and out would be quite quick. This comes with practice and knowledge of your tunes

That's a bit rich. I can't remember how much i got mine for but it wouldn't have been that much. Guys down the road from have have them for this. I'm sure they ship interstate, if not i'll have a chat to my mate and see if he can sneak one across or ya https://www.kosmic.com.au/crane-laptop-mixer-cd-stand

Crane. Just spend the money man. It's very worth it. Not worth trying to find cheap shit tbh

New freebie up now! enjoy

there's good wubs and dumb wubs. you defs put in the good ones here

Dem wubs tho

Playing live as a DJ (for me) is still just djing unless you're literally playing your tracks live like a band (ie keyboards, drummer etc). If you wanna do one of those LaunchPad sets then you can be as creative as you wish. It takes a lot of time to plan these things so keep that in mind when you pick the direction you wanna go in. Firstly, I would suggest jumping on bird the traktor "stems" train with their new range of controllers. It's a great way to trigger samples on the fly while continuing to DJ (mix songs back and fourth). You can create your own stems and buy stacks online. The traktor hardware range are like Legos. You can keep adding and remapping to make it work for you. You can incorporate maschine to work with traktor so you can bounce back and fourth from the 2 The other typical option you have is the Ableton live set where you can trigger samples. Keep this in mind; when someone says they DJ with Ableton they just trigger samples. There's no actual transitions happening in the conventional way of mixing. Ableton sets take time to plan and set up. There's technically a lot more you can achieve by doing this but if you wish to DJ it makes life a bit easier to use traktor. If you're up to it and have the chops, start a band

I've seen this. Was planning to do a podcast and was gonna talk about this but I'm sick so have to put it off for another week. I think it's cool to link up your cdjs to use the sampler to trigger stuff. I think people will have to weigh up their options with that or traktor, as those 2 provide a similar function
