My cat broke the tonearm on one of my 1200s. What's the cheapest way to get it replaced? Where can I get dustcovers? Should I buy a Korg EMX1 for $250 from my friend(I'm pretty sure the answer to that is YES)

First result is here: http://www.planetdj.com/i--SL-12-TONEARM-B Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd6_LZxDdcg There's some vinyl covers on Amazon, I'm not sure if the MK2's and MK5's use the same kind though, because of the latch on the MK2's.

Any users of Audiomulch? I watched a video of girl talk using adobe audition with it for clip DJing. I've been using the demo of Ableton Live Suite 8 so far and I like it. However I'm not sure which route I want to go since I plan on using it mostly to clip DJ.

This is a really informative thread! I've browsed it, but 63 pages is a lot - if a question like this has already come up then please forgive me. I suddenly have a lot of free time on my hands and have been offered a M-Audio Oxygen 8 midi controller for $50 -- which is about all I can afford right now. If I'm just looking to "mess around," is this enough hardware for me? I'm using a Sony VAIO with a dual 2ghz CPU. I know how to use a keyboard and can play piano. I'm just looking for something that will let me plunk in a few notes, adjust the way they sound, and then go back and add to it -- musical doodling, if you will. I've already got Audacity and wouldn't mind trying out the demos of a program or two, but there are enough programs with lists of pros and cons that I feel a little overwhelmed trying to decide which features and options I want. Edit: I'm dualbooting Windows 7 and Ubuntu, if that makes a difference.

Audacity can't do much music-wise. Try the demos/free versions of Ableton Live, FL Studio etc. They're surprisingly full-featured for being demos, but usually you can't save project files (although you can export audio). Linux is essentially useless for making music, as far as I know.

Computer Jones posted:Yeah, I'd say so. There are some really amazing free softsynths for you to play with. There's Rosegarden and Ardour for Linux, neither of which are really comparable to what's available for Windows unless you like being able to look at or modify the source code. And yes, Audacity is just a .wav editor, you can't really play notes into it. You also might want to take a look at Reaper, which doesn't have as polished a UI as Ableton or FL, but has an unlimited demo and is only $50 to register.

I would check that the Oxygen8 is compatible with Windows 7 because I know that M-Audio don't provide any 64-bit drivers for it.

ManoliIsFat posted:Audiomulch is basically the same thing as Max/MSP. You can see how it wouldn't be easiest thing to do for mashups. Why would girl talk opt for it if this is the case? I agree that ableton seems like an easier solution but there must be a reason why he doesn't just use ableton like everyone else.

I agree that ableton seems like an easier solution but there must be a reason why he doesn't just use ableton like everyone else. When he started producing, it was before Live had really taken off, and he was using the tools he knew + had available. And once you have a workflow that you're happy and comfortable with, you don't want to switch things up just for the sake of switching. I'm pretty sure he has used / experimented with Live some more recently though. I've seen some videos of him putting tracks together in Audition / Cool Edit, and it's great he gets the results that he does, but I would never recommend anybody else try that way of doing things.

Played around with audiomulch today. It's a really backwards program, and not very intuitive. It feels like something that would be on Linux. The only thing I thought was better was the ability to throw on effects. Other then that, I'm gonna stick with Ableton. I'm gonna get Ableton Live Suite 8 in a month. Should I get the APC40, or another controller instead? A lot of the clips I use I edit in garage band, although Im thinking about getting Audition (I used to use Cool Edit Pro back in the old original Final Scratch days). But I'm not sure, and thinking about getting an m-audio keyboard and trigger finger to start creating some of my own clips to use since using the computer keyboard is a real pain in the rear end, and then in a few months getting the APC 40. My only problem with getting the APC40 is that I feel Rane is gonna come out with a controller for it to use with Serato Scratch Live.

I ordered some books off Amazon but I started self-teaching myself Logic before they got here and I made this little diddy to help me figure stuff out. Now that I've finished my Logic book and the first couple chapters of the Dance Music Manual, I've gone back and touched it up a bit and I wanted some opinions. I don't know what genre it is but I'd personally classify it as no vocals hip hop for white people who like rock music and dancing. There's a part about 20 seconds in that might be irritating. I can't tell because I had so much fun drunkenly jamming on my keyboard to make it that my opinion is tainted. It's brief so please don't stop it there. I'm also aware of a certain processing issue but I don't want to say anything. I'm forcing myself to stop playing with it so I can move on to something new and any information on problems that I'm not aware of will be helpful for my next mad fly dance tune. I really want to try this drum and bass nonsense.

The Ohm64 looks like it might be pretty rad. It's a bit more pricey ($599) and not as specifically attuned to Live, but on the other hand it's supposed to be a more open platform and it looks like it would just feel really satisfying to use. Or take it in another direction altogether:

The fact that it comes with Cell DNA has nearly sold me. Being able to use it for performances in Live, as well as dick around with VJing, is simply irresistable. I'll have to put some serious thought into controllers now.

I did my first mashup back in 1997 or so using SoundForge 4.5 and FastTracker II. Timestretch in 'Forge, jump to DOS to FTII to sequence, save, jump back, save, jump back, save. Thank goodness the year after that ACID 1.0 was released. Then I dropped all the pure sample-based sequencing altogether; tried Live 3.0 while on Cubase SX, didn't like it (it acted weird and the stretching didn't work the way I wanted it to). Got frustrated with SX3, dumped it for Live 6, and then I completely loved the hell out of it. You kids don't know how good you have it nowadays. Now get off my lawn.

I dont think it's the kind of thing you're supposed to pick over something like ableton. It's a processor first - for fine tuning sounds, creating noises and having really in depth control and exporting samples. I couldnt imagine trying to make anything of worth in it that stands alone. Trying to do what ableton does would be backwards as gently caress, but for fine max/msp style work it's arguably the most intuitive piece of software around. I've not made any music in over 4 weeks  Need to sort this out stat.

Use the apc for controlling ableton. Or dj ableton and vj using cell dna.

trill rear end posted:smore i don't like the melody that's in the beginning, it's not interesting enough to play it w/o any other instruments imo and even with it's still kind of annoying some of the knob tweaks on the bass are a little jarring too and not really in the way that dubstep is supposed to be i'm not sure how to explain that so i'd recommend working on better melodies that make more sense and gently caress with your bass sound some, try a triangle wave on your cutoff or something i can't hear what yours is doing exactly not horrible though but you need polish and more thought-out ideas

some pretty straight up chilled summer techno http://www.zshare.net/audio/6184260297e5bf24/ would like to hear thoughts trill rear end your sounds are pretty cool (first one more than the second, which were all pretty standard) but you need to work on your drums if you wanna make dubstep. They gotta swing and have lots of space, its more than just the snare on 3 Terrible Horse fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Jun 25, 2009 |

trill rear end posted:i think im done, changed a lot You need to add a sub synth to your bassline when it kicks in, 'cause currently it has no impact and just sounds flabby. The intro sounds cool, rhythmically nice, but the bassline needs work as it just clashes with all the other elements when it kicks in and just causes the good parts to lose their impact. Some dubstep artists just kill the samples and melodies in their intros to give the bassline space, so you could consider that.
