Prog?

Je crois pas que ce soit un style de musique défini en tant que tel, alors je commence par préciser ce que j'entends par "Vocal Psytrance" : Du trance autant psychedelique et goa que possible, mais avec des paroles chantées. Par exemple, je pense à des trucs comme Ra heya de sub6, breath de silent sphere ou encore cities of the future d'infected...

Aussi blasphématoire que ça puisse paraître, j'en cherche...

Avez-vous des suggestions?

J'ai récemment mis la main sur ces sympatiques morceaux de cartons hallucinogènes, mais oh malheur me voilà aux prises avec une pharyngite!

On m'a prescrit du clavilin, un antibiotique dérivé de la peniciline, si j'ai bien compris.

Alors je me pose la question à savoir si je vais fucker les effets des antibiotiques si je me tappe un trip d'acide pendant le traitement. Pourriez-vous m'éclairer à ce sujet?

Here's something else on wikipedia.

Know about R.E.M. anyone?

[ en.wikipedia.org ]

"According to one boxed set of their albums, R.E.M. stands for Rapid Ear Movement, a play on Rapid Eye Movement."

To sum it up, my personal explanation would be that when you do mdma, you trigger a waking sleep status for the body and mind.

I often had the impression of dreaming on mdma. Time and space were distorted, as if redisigned by a twisted scenarist, my unconcious. I know my mdma buzz is good when I have R.E.M.

Ok Screwhead, I've heard that argument about the "pcp doesn't fit on a blotter" often. I always wondered, doesn't it break down if we simply have a bigger blotter? I mean, I saw various sizes for blotter and the smaller the better I figured. The one I have looks normal, 0.5 cm square and ~1mm thick. A PCP dose can't fit on that?

Anyway, I'm much more confident trying it tomorrow. Thanks a lot already! :D

Sélection musicale éclatée au niveau des styles. Le bpm de ce set passe de 133 à 143. I had difficulties with happy painting, Lost and Revulsion. I should have brought Illusion earlier, the speeding up affected the sound quality of the track. Overall I think this is a pretty good set. I'd like to receive comments.

Yep, indeed when a dj beatmatches tighly, I can hear some interference going from negative to positive and the inverse during a mix. The beats get unexpectedly strong or low for a brief moment when swapping the bass lines but no trainwreck is audible. This depends a lot on the sounds used for the bass drums of course.

It's not so much about killing, as balancing them sout. The thing with bass in particular is that sub frequencies tend to be a lot more powerfull. It's got nothing to do with the "sound" of it but with the frequencies that you CAN'T hear. If you've got 2 basslines going at "full" they will get a lot "messier" than other frequencies tend to get. As it stands, most of what you hear in a bassline is low mids and harmonic frequencies that can go all the way through the spectrum to the high end. In my example, I should have actually not mentione that the "master" out is one cup that's 3x the size, but that it's also divided up into 3 that are the same size as the rest. You cannot fill one cup with 2x more than it can handle, you have to balance everything, and that doesn't just apply to the EQs but also to the gains.

The best "trick" I can think of is what I tend to do when I mix. The track that you're bringing in, always have the bass down by at least 2/3 as you're mixing it in, because as I mentioned before, bass is not a frequency that you're supposed to hear, it's a frequency that you're supposed to feel.

With the mids, do the same thing except about 1/3 lower than the 0 point on the mids EQ knob.

The highs I tend to always leave up on full, as physically high-end frequencies' sound wave moves faster than bass, and it's the main frequency that you should be using to beatmatch (plus the hats and upper-end of the snare frequencies tend to be the best ones to beatmatch with, esp. in DnB)

When you start bringing in the new track, don't bring up the fader "all the way" to max on the tune you'e mixing in, keep it a little bit lower than full (because, as I've stated before, it's not good to have 2 tracks worth of frequencies playing at full)

Once you've held your mix for about half as long as you want to keep it, slowly swap the mids. Bring the previous track's mids down by 1/3 while bringing up the new track's mids to full. once the mids have been swapped, then you should swap the upfaders positions, from new track to "full" and previous track to a little lower, and as you're adjusting the faders up also adjust the basslines so that the new track is now the dominant track, and then just bring out the previous track however you feel like.


Thanks for the EQing method! I will certainly try that next time I mix.

and whats this 7% trick buisness?

i is well confused?



The pitch range of the table isn`t relevant for this problem, I shouldn`t have mentionned it at first. The Rpm of the table will not afffect the formula since the pitch bar affects the tempo of the song and not the rotational speed of the disk in the player. I don`t know if this applies to vinyles also, I've not tried yet.

If you take a typical psytrance song at 145 bpm and you want to bring it to 146, 147, 148 bpm, then you will have to modify the pitch repectively to +0.7, +1.4, +2.1. Now if you look at the graph, notice that the faster the initial speed of the song is, the lower the delta % for 1 bpm variation will be. Also, for a 145 bpm track, the exact value for a 1bpm variation would be ~0.69%, which means that with a 0.7 multiple the track will have to be slowed (or speeded, if the factor is negative) just a little from time to time.

I found that to be usefull knowledge in order to improve my ear. Knowing at least one track speed, I can logically determine which one will go a bit faster when beatmatching two tracks. If I mix prog, the pitch bar will go to values like +/- 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, knowing that I`ll have to take little step back at some point. If I mix full on the values have been shown earlier, knowing the higher the tempo will be, the more often I will have to slow the track a little.

When that thread started I remered the "trick" to beatmatch cds someone told me. (Thanks)

For 2 years I used this method intuitively (I was given the 7% number), but reading this subject made me want to go a bit deeper in the comprehension of that trick. Here`s a math problem :

A pitch bar modifies the speed of a track on a scale going from -10% to +10%. For a bpm of 145, what is the value of the % required for the track to speed up or slow down 1 bpm?

x : What we are looking for, the delta %
v1 : initial speed (bpm)
v2 : final speed (bpm)

So we have :

v2 = v1 - 1bpm (or v1 + 1bpm, but the end result will be the same anyway)

The x factor will be multiplying v1 in order to remove 1 bpm from it. Thus,

1bpm = x*v1

v2 = v1 - x*v1
v2/v1 = 1-x
v2/v1 + x = 1

SOLUTION:
x% = (1 - v2/v1) * 100

And the only thing left was for me to put this in excel to obtain the delta % for a 1bpm variation with any initial speeds.

I was born in Bogota - Colombia.
I was Adopted by 2 spanish immigrants when I was 1 day and a half old.

My first name (Mikelaï) is Russian, my last name is Spanish.
I was raised in Quebec.
When young, I could speak and understand Catalan, since my parents come from Barcelona.
I can understand spanish because I followed classes, but can barely talk in that tongue.

I have a really clear skin for someone from the south. Still I hope I have some Mayan blood in me. I guess it's because i listened to Les cites d'Or when I was young and liked it so much.

I don't think I'll ever find my biological parents, but I don't really care about them. My real family is the one I grew with.

For a while I tried flavored tea in my joints. Adds a subtle taste but it's hard on the throat...

And what about using the kills?...

Lately I try to avoid it, to concentrate on the EQ and I realised it helps getting smoother transitions.

I'm also inquiring about the difference between the fader volume and the gain. I'm under the impression that playing with the gain can conserve the general volume, but I'd like to know if there is something more to it.

Tres interessante, l'intervention de Mr Frog.

Personnellement je constate que plusieurs militaires (j'ai (eu) des amis dans l'armee) pensent defendre leur pays en allant en attaquer un autre. Anyway je suppose que ca a toujours ete comme ca. Leur attitude generale est tres nationalise et frise l'extremisme. Tous les moyens sont justifiables, tant qu'on est sur d'avoir raison, surtout si on fait la guerre a un substantif abstrait. On pense en blanc ou en noir, bien ou mal. Y'a pas de place pour la remise en question ou des alternatives.

Meme devant une critique, M@x, t'ai l'air de comprendre que Mr Frog est avec toi, pcq il a reussi a construire un argument valide pour la guerre. On avait juste pas compris que t'essayais de dire ca au debut? Come on... relis-toi.

I found the movie had a really nice esthetic touch and even though Demezriel is right on the protagonist part in the scenario, the movie was really close to the game. For example, the scene at the beginning in Silent Hill with the devil-babies had the same camera moves as the first game. I remember how I was impressed about that when I was playing it on playstation...

I'm still a little confused by the ending though... Are they dead or just in another dimension? And is the little girl, the lady's daughter or the devilish incarnation?

I'm not too sure about it, but I think the philosophy of language crosses/started the analytical field in philosophy. It's quite recent and it's been really popular among american and british thinkers. It's really not the king of reading I like because the writers look like they're bitter with their style. From my philo of the mind class, I remember that Sperber, Fodor and Putnam were talking about language.
