this mix is pretty ownage but I think you shouldn't played the vocal part of 'blind' over the vocal part of 'world invaders'. vocals over vocals is kind of a no-no.

mingster posted:now that you can easily get programs that will scan your tracks for key/bpm i don't know why everybody doesn't do it. on the other hand, i've had years of music theory, concert band, etc. that i'm guessing most DJs haven't had. I absolutely hate pre-planning anything w/r/t DJing. It's a very very spontaneous thing for me, and doing all that pre-work (let alone working on a mix for an entire WEEK!!!) sounds like the opposite of fun to me. I love pulling records outta my box and slamming them on.

That's kind of a famous sample. The most well known use being from Acen's 'Close Your Eyes', of which there were about a million remixes but I wouldn't be surprised if a more recent track use the sample. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8DjNtZLZUw&feature=related

How do you stand having your decks/mixer so low like that. That looks like a recipe for lower-back pain to me (DJ old guy)

A MIRACLE posted:OK, after you mix in a new song do you speed it back up or just keep it at the old tempo? 99% of mixes you hear generally stay the same tempo, beginning to end. When you mix a new song in, you match it to the old song and then leave it at that speed.

ManoliIsFat posted:I feel you. Especially if you're bringing records to the club, its really easy to forget what's on where, so I like to put poo poo i KNOW i'm gonna wanna drop at the front of the crate, but with laptop djing, its a whole different game. I've cheated with pieces of paper or little notepad files. Hell I used to play Ableton sets all the time. Yeah, crate management is a pretty important thing to get the hang of. When I'm playing all vinyl I'll sort stuff kind of by 'energy level' or whatever if that makes any sense so I can go straight to the mood I'm going for. On Serato I make little sub-crate folders all the time and drop 30 or 40 tracks in there. It definately can help to cut your options down a little bit beforehand so that you go into a more focused direction. On the other hand, when I play in my bedroom, I have pretty much instant access to my huge wall-o-vinyl and that's fun to do too, but maybe creates wierd, sprawling sets.

MrPeanut posted:Not sure how much Q&A has been going on in this thread, but I figured this would be the best place to ask. some advice: DO continue to have a nice, outgoing personality and meet bar owners and venue bookers. DO NOT,DO NOT, DOOOOOOOO NOTTTTTTT try to play 'psy-trance/trance/house' to a crowd expecting to hear top-40 and popular rap hits. Millions of DJs before you have tried that and it 100% a losing proposition. Nobody has a good time, not the bar owner, not the crowd, not you, the DJ. You will fail at this. People offer me these kinds of gigs from time to time and I am always tempted but always come to my senses and turn them down. Sorry, you're going to have to find another situation if you wanna play 'underground' dance music to a crowd. Try and befriend promoters who promote those kinds of parties/nights.

archie posted:also i don't understand why quite a lot of you guys want to play at parties and such where you have to play music you don't like. this isn't what dj'ing is about. you play what you want to play, you're not just some glorified jukebox. push your sound. playing at frat parties etc won't lead you anywhere, other than to the repair shop when some of the bros try and have a scratch or such on your gear. ehhh sometimes you just want to rock a party and see people getting down. bad taste in music or not. I don't have this desire that often anymore but i'll play a dumb party once or twice a year and have a good time. I mean I had more fun playing disco and r&b hits at my uncle's 50th birthday party (to a packed, drunk dancefloor) last year than I did at at least 4 or 5 club gigs I did, where I played killer music, mixed well, to small, inhibited crowds. quote:doctor nick just go to somewhere like beatport.com or another site that has music for sale and click on a certain genre and preview a few tunes etc - you'll be able to get a feel for it that way this is a good idea. also check out https://www.juno.co.uk You should also trawl around discogs.com and follow links to the labels that artists you like are on, and then find similar artists, and similar labels, etc...

speaking of beatport: If I add a track to my basket when it's brand new and at the higher brand new price ($2.99 or whatever) and then leave it in there for a month or so until the price drops to the normal price, will it automatically drop in my basket or do I have to re-add it to get the price-drop?

I still listen to this mix a lot, might be one of my favorite pieces of work. I recorded a mix of some pretty banging techno tonight, going to listen to it a few times and decide if it's any good.

Splits posted:As a long time fidget/electro producer/dj I'm a bit upset as well, but not enough to give a gently caress. My catalog murders newcomers. Long time? That poo poo's only been around for 3 years, max quote:Give my mix a listen, it's 40 minutes of good electro fidget fun and I'm really looking for some comments. It's pre-mixdown so I haven't cleaned up the bass tracks entirely nor have I done much to end it, but it's there and I love new input. I think there will be some lunice and a little thunderheist thrown in for good measure towards the end to pull it into thugged out gangbangin' electro. If you're a Detroit local and you're calling crookers et.al. electro that's pretty sad. You of all people should know about the 'real' poo poo. sorry to be all negative but I'm really cranky today and have hit my limit.

SixOhSix posted:If anything, since these are showing top tracks of each decade of electro before this one, it shows how rapidly the overall broad 'electro' scene has evolved. This is really getting into a realm of arguing what should mean what in music, and frankly can be done with about any genre that has evolved over time (it's also why I've typically avoided discussing this stuff in the past before because it just ends in rage and tears for everyone). crookers, sinden, bloodybeetroots, everything that's called 'electro' these days is NOT an evolution of the older stuff. These guys have no lineage to the original detroit/NY electro scene, and their ursurpation of the 'electro' moniker is pushing all those old originators even further into obscurity (as demonstrated by this very thread!!!)

look guys, I'm old (a lot older than most of you probably) and way past my time. you kids get all the bookings, the fun, the girls, the drugs. leave a bitter old man my memories at least? a little respect? it's not too much to ask. thank you. i absolutely don't think any of you should play anything other than what you like. that goes absolutely without saying. if you're a 'anything for the crowd' kind of guy, then go for it. I totally get that and respect it (even thought that's not ME or my preference) but it's absolutely not too much at all to ask that you get a little historical perspective about things. it will only serve to enrich your own experience. SixOhSix posted:gently caress it, this is done, and this is why I refused to get involved in NMD in the first place. 's just words, dude. a little discussion from time to time to make everybody think of things and remind everybody where they stand and for why can't hurt. 'the unexamined life....' and all that and just for the record: my posting style in this last page is kind of in the 'cranky old techno obsessive' mold that has a real long an storied history on the internet and as such is kind of a self-cariacature (but it contains a heavy kernel of the truth) and if this is your first encounter with the stereotype, well then congradulations, one more thing to cross off your list of experiences. tylertfb fucked around with this message at 02:19 on May 29, 2009 |
