i hear those new fangled digital mixers can cut those crazy frequencies to taste.
Anyone have experience with this?

I use to DJ, but I acturlly made music first. Started with 4channel techno. hah. Moved upto 128.
And now its MIDI.

the problem i have with digital sources is the quality of the high end- it's really sharp and painful at high volumes, especially on systems with horn loaded tweeters. vinyl is smoother in the tops and doesn't sound like a serrated knife in your ear drum.

(Jul 13 06, 13:02)Vinyl limits he audio frequencies you hear, kinda limiting for producers or audiophiles, Djs on the other hand will rant for hours about how its sounds way better with all those clicks and frying bacon sounds...

Ok so here is a basic one.
You need:
Bass Drum = BD
Snare Drum1 = SN1
Snare Drum2 (Low) =SN2
High Hat (Closed) = HH
High Hat (Open) = OHFollowing the traditional 16 Step sequencer, make your loop to go to 32 steps.
O =empty
X =hitBD:
X0X0000000X00000
X000000000X00000SN1:
0000X0000000X000
0000X0000000X000SN2:
0000000X0X000000
00000000X0X000X0HH:
X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0
X0X0X0X0X0X0X0XXOH:
00X0000X000000X0
0000X000X00000X0Does that make sense?
That is a very basic beat, experiment, change instruments, add or substract, etc..

(Jul 13 06, 13:08)well... yes and no. many audiophiles still prefer the "warmth" of vinyl over CDs. a good cartridge can reproduce frequencies up to 22kHz, which is 2k above the upper limit of human hearing. it just kind of "rounds" it off a bit.

been mixing jungle / dnb since 95
started producing almost a year ago...haven't done much yet because i don't have good monitors
entry level dnb studio so you can actually "make" dnb is around $1200....soon ;)

(Jul 13 06, 13:21)That was before SCD and DVD audio came out.
7.1 surround sound 192 kHz in 24bit.
you confuse audiophile with people that prefer to listen to vinyl. it's not the same.
Michel Jarre (clasical trained, electronic music pioneer) who has been producing audiovisual shows since the late 70s. recently decided to re-release a lot of his early work the way he had envisioned it originally when he was being limited with the recording mediums at the time.

acescence..
seeing your long list of gear for sale, I have 2 options.You quit making music..
You are moving to software based..
is there a 3rd?
:)
Meeklo
(Jul 13 06, 16:57)definitely not quitting, and while i am more software based than just a year or 2 ago, really i just have an obscene amount of gear. i need to simplify.
- kinetic0
nice mix!
here's one i did in october ... i need to make a new one, this one is a bit old...but then again, the way shit moves in dnb, last months stuff is old ;)

it's stil a subjective creative world when it comes to sound quality and fidelity. technically anything is possible and basically perfect in the digital world but their is no replacement for a unique sound from vintage gear or a personal peice of technology you've used a lot...even software have their own sound.

if you wanna learn how to make dnb, there's no better place to learn than

an easy way to get out of the simple 2 step pattern is to take a break, high pass it...add your 2 step to it and then just keep fucking with it adding ghosts or rides...whatever you want to make it pop
recycle + reason :)

(Jul 13 06, 13:37)I agree with you..
I'm not saying wich one is better, but to me an audiophile is the person that enjoys listening to high resolution audio. And vinyl is not.A lot of my friends are Djs and the rather hear music from vinyl wich I respect (I have no preference myself, I rather make my choice regarding content not medium) but I understand this happens because an "emotional" connection it exists with the analog sound. not fidelity, not resolution :)

I like the acapella version of Lundi de Bleu more than with the beats, harps and electronic goodness behind it.
Now tell me how does that feel?

I got nothing.

A lot of my friends are DJs, so I've dabbled quite extensively over the past 10 years of my life.
I say dabbled, because I'm awful. I never put any time into the art, just whenever I have time.
I love it though, I love everything about it, whenever I'm behind the wheels I feel great.
Sometimes at parties and functions if they aren't paying attention, I'll jump behind and throw on 'Grindin' as I believe it is the only song I know how to blend/mix in appropiately into almost any song in existence.
...
They usually only let me get on the microphone and tell jokes though, haha.
Which are usually less funny than me trying to juggle.

(Jul 14 06, 15:33)Oops, I forgot that one..
I would say 180but anything above 160 is fine, personal preference..
