sound quality is really rich and phat...

hardware?

its acctually a male vocal...

and its not old school...

huge clown step breaks track last from last summer.

personaly i HATE kill switches...

its partially because i rarely kill a frequency 100% and partially because i'm totally spasticated and hit em more by accident than intentionaly.

and in response to melodies cut question...

usually phrases break down into 64 bar chunks, and with most electronic music there is a variation every 4-8 bars with bigger variations at 16, 32 and eventually at 64 you get a break and in most cases thats where you wanna cut with most electronic music.

sometime its fun to cut out the last bar of a phrase and then bring it back in....

i found this for you too...

if you scroll down you can see a great example of a pretty standard musical formula

anyway... hope that helps.

and does anybody got any cool tricks on filter effects?

when you say you "don't mind the gays"...

do you mean you love the cock?

not that there is anything wrong with that...

but aren't you gays s'possed to like.. LOVE MADONA?

or am i being homosexualist?

haha...

that kid would make these guys pretty jelous...

[ www.bmezine.com ]

well... that... or maybee an iron lung?

at least he doesn't have a triple nipple...

thats why we should all smoke CRACK kids!!

i was a weird kid...

i wouldn't eat a pb sandwich unless it was in the microwave for 10 seconds so it was all wet and mushy.

and no i don't do that anymore...

you have alot more control with the volume faders and gain knobs than the cross fader.

cross faders don't control volume very well as they are made for scratching and trick mixing.

you may wanna try bringing your tracks in more gradualy...

that way you have a better idea of how loud its gunna sound when the slider is at the top so you can adjust your volume acordingly.

flicking the crossfader (especially with a square curve) can be like playing russian rulette.

it can also be helpful to keep a hand close to the gain when you cut a track. that way if you do make a mistake you can cover it up before anyone notices.

i play both electro and breaks...
msg me if you want a mix...

i play in bars and clubs all over the city on regular basis...

my last few gigs were at kunta lounge, the s.a.t. and mega club saphire...

i also play a weekly radio show on [ www.ibreaks.co.uk ] (the #1 breakbeat station in the world) every wensday from 7-10PM montreal time.

so ya.. what was i saying?

i think i speak for everybody on the board when i say in all modesty that i'm like pretty much the greatest superstar dj to walk the face of this earth!!

is that all you think about sharon?

balls?

i still need a shave...

and silly robbots...

no... i don't do guys...

well... maybe if i'm really drunk?

HAHA!!

madforbrad kills me!!

and just for the record i never said that i tape my eq's in place...

and as far as theory goes... i agree with brad to a certain extent... there are certain guidlines that you should know and follow...

but all those rules are made to be broken...

"THIS IS NOT AN OPINION"

and this applys to all artforms both aural and visual.

and what this particular argument comes down too is that you mix with your EARS not with your eyes...

ie. madforbrad wrote:


first off... i'm a club dj not an engineer, i have also played on some pretty decent systems and i've only played 2 raves in my whole life, coincedentaly one of those 2 "shitty raves" rocked the biggest sound system i've ever mixed on and boasted big ass 12' stacks of eaw's... and if memory serves me correct... i think davesob was on the same bill?

regardless...

i think you should read a little more on phasing... especially from a dj standpoint...

because dj's acctually experience 2 different kinds of phasing...

1 that takes away from the sound just like you mentioned above...

and 1 that acctually doubles the intensity.

it can really go either way depending on the frequency and i firmly believe its best to let your ears be the judge on how it should be eq'ed.

not to mention phasing can also be a desired effect...

many dj's even rock doubles of the same record to get this effect... the term is called "ghosting" and depending on how you space it you can get an echo or a flanger effect...

anyway brad...

just outta curiousity...

what clubs do YOU dj at?

and what kind of music do you play?

do you know that different genres tend to be eq'ed differently as well?

ie. hip dj's usually only kill the bass to scratch and don't use mids...
, dnb can get pretty chaotic with 2 basslines goin full force.
and most 4/4 house and minimal techno doesn't require alot of equing at all.

so ya... basicly what i'm saying brad, is that talk is cheap... especially in your case...

your more than welcome to come mix some records with me sometime if you wanna school me...

but until then i'mma file you under "sucker".

p.s. this song makes me think of you...

here is a clip...

jeez... what a bitch^^^^

and big ups to dave for defending my point...

12db is usually where i kill it too coincedentaly... like 1/4 up for us simpletons...

and the 4/4 thing is a great example of my point...

like why would you wanna drop the high frequencys of a 4/4 kick?

and i certainly wouldn't want to kill the bass on the fat break thats already got the croud moving...

so why not rock em both?

and being a producer isn't much of an excuse...

if i made a track with sampled loops i wouldn't start equing the bass outta my kicks cuz i have 2 drum loops layered either...

but thats just me...

anyway... the whole reason i started playing with 2 basslines is that my friends who were playing the big afterhours clubs like stereo and sona had to learn the hard way that killing your bass all the way on big sytems is fuckin' tricky buisness and were nice enough to pass the knowledge.

anyway....

i like this thread... and wanna learn some new moves...

so ya...

BRING DAT SHIT!!!

shave me!!

"never" is a pretty big word... not to mention limiting..

i find the bassline thing a very interesting debate...

personally... i can't help but to notice that most good analog mixers aren't even capable of bringing the bass down to 0...

its usually cheap ass digital mixers that do that.

anyway...

i don't like killing my bass all the way... cuz yer not just killing the bassline... but all the low end... and more often than not you want some of that low end in your kick drums regardless of what the bassline is doing.

yeah...

thats tourist egging week!!!

are you talking about "vision jitters"?

or are your eyes actually shaking?

are they over dosing on the gay?

BREAK BEAT YOUR MEAT!!!

for the price of 2 tix you can get like 5 CASES of ramen...

6 if you buy the "SMACK" kind...

so ya...

fuck the freestylers...

RAMEN PARTY AT MY PLACE!!!!

who's down?

i listened to south beaches mix online...

straight up party breaks...

and i heard she's a wigger?

Did i win anything???

i voted for myself!!

any ol recording software should do...

i use wavlab or peak usually...

but i'd recomend using a proffessional mixer with seperate outs for recording, and booth.

that way you can turn your volume up or down without effecting the mix output.

i'd also recomend running the mix through a pre-amp.

that will make the biggest difference in sound.

and don't forgot to normalize when yer done.
