tylertfb posted: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. i agree. the fun of mixing is the spontaneity of it all. mixes that are super-planned out and mixed entirely in key (using software) are nice to hear and all but it honestly isn't wholly representative of your skill as a DJ. plus, like tyler said, it's no fun! there's nothing wrong with having a few choice transitions in the back of your head that you're primed to use but there's a boundary between mathematical and instinctual (is that a word? if not it should be) that people need to watch out for jon, i'm downloading your tech mix and am looking forward to giving it a listen. i'm gonna hopefully post a few tech/prog mixes of my own soon. edit: wanted to point out that alot of my tracks are keyed but i really tend not to rely on them. maybe if i for the life of me can't think of a good next track i'll throw on something that follows the circle of fifths thing Vernacular fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jan 8, 2009 |

Alright, here's my newest mix. It's my first since switching from the Total Control to the VCI-100. I'm still getting used to mixing with a 4-band EQ instead of 3, but even though I'm not accustomed to it yet, it still makes mixing a hell of a lot easier/more fluid. 90 minutes of nasty tech beats with a little progressive and electro thrown in for good measure. Some tracks are new, some are old, some I've used in other mixes I've posted, most of them I haven't. It's also the first installment of my new "Big Sounds at Good Speeds for Better People" mix series, and I'm considering using it as my demo-ish mix. Anyway, enjoy! As always, feedback would be lovely Goodspeed - Big Sounds at Good Speeds for Better People Vol.1 http://www.sendspace.com/file/5oq3hn Tech/Prog, 91:03, 125mb Equipment: VCI-100 + Tracktor 3.3 Mylo - Sunworshipper (Intro) Supermayer - Two of Us (Original mix) Fokko Verslut, S.

Sorry for the shameless plugging, but if any of you goons in the LA area have nothing to do next Friday night, UCLA is throwing an EDM event on campus. Its called Electric Love Fest (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=54671147954#/event.php?eid=54671147954&ref=mf): it runs from 6-11 (lame, I know, but it's a campus thing) and is open to everybody (not just UCLA students). I'll be closing out the night (probably will go on at around 10-10:15) with some progressive/tech house. So yeah, stop by!

Terrible Horse posted:Caus when talking about music it helps to have an agreed upon vocabulary so this discussion doesnt come up every ten seconds. EDM is stupid. Dance music or even house should be enough why is "electronic dance music" bad? it's one of the better blanket terms out there, far more acceptable than "techno" and "electronica" at least

haha 'edm' as it stands definitely has a lame connotation to it, and i guess the term has become sort of meaningless (is modern top 40 hip-hop/Justin Timberlake/MIA electronic dance music? your call) but for DJs who like to mix lots of genres, its a good descriptor (i.e. "I'm an electronic music DJ, I'm not going to play any hip-hop") i've been pretty good, just finishing up my last quarter of school, DJing at house parties and frats (who actually are pretty down with our brand of music these days) and the like. hopefully i'll have a new mix up sometime soon. how about you? btw, i don't really know what the consensus on pete tong's essential mix is around here these days, but you should really check out tiga's new mix. really cool blend of techno and electro (or whatever you want to call it)

Maguro posted:Hahahahaha you DON'T think those tunes are rinsed out to an absurd degree?! using tracks made by well-known producers isn't the sin here though. the scoffable factor at work is the whole attitude of "oh hey who's this guy on the front page of beatport? deadmau5? say, this track 'reward is cheese' is not too bad, i'll use it in a mix". it's lazy and, like terrible horse said, uninspired there's nothing inherently wrong with playing tracks made by well-known producers. it's just that for every top 10 beatport track you choose to use in a mix, there's a hundred other tracks out there below the surface that will your musical personality better. don't settle, dig deeper!

I have the Audio Kontrol 1, so I'm good on the soundcard front, but I feel you on the midi disconnection issues. I've started using duct tape on for my usb cords to avoid that problem. Unfortunately, macs are 100% out of my price range, so that'll have to do for now. I'm gonna take my chances with this I think http://www.officemax.com/technology...e=22-86611312-2 and Jon that description is vague as hell. its probably another faithless track, like the mark knight remix of 'music matters' or something like that Vernacular fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Nov 12, 2010 |
