just double park for a while ler.. zip in zip out..
that's what i do

G'day fellas! I didn't realize there was a heap of aspiring muso's on this forum! This is my first post here btw. I know Sars and I've heard of Leng through foundationKL - congratulations on getting your tunes out to Portugal buddy

If you all have any questions regarding analog / digital mixing platforms, please don't hesitate to PM me. I personally learned beatmatching through trying to manually sync my arranger keyboard to music playing in the background back in '99. Then I went from CD's to Vinyl, and then back to CD's (a somewhat weird transition pattern!). However, since 2005, I made the massive switch to Ableton with Max/MSP patches I wrote in Uni, and I haven't looked back since I would like to say that in my opinion, I'd advise starting on traditional turntables / cd-decks (if possible) and learning the fundamentals of mixing, segueing and understanding principles of track structures before delving into the digital world... why you may ask? I'll elaborate more on that at a time other than 5am - Man I need sleep LOL

Good night all, this thread was an interesting read indeed

any chance u've use any DVS before? which one is better? mixvibes, traktor scratch, fs etc

cheers

Serato is the most stable and responsive digital vinyl system I have ever had a go at and happily works on lower end systems in comparison to FS hardware + Traktor. However, feature for feature, Traktor does have a much larger arsenal of tricks (although the learning curve may be considerably steeper than serato's) Not familiar with mixvibes though.. Heard good things about miss pinky but just from friends, haven't tried it myself.

I can only ever go around 5pm or so which coincidently is not only when DBKL likes to come around and issue summonses but traffic is a major deterrent as well. Somewhere in PJ/Damansara would be cool if anyone knows thanks.

yeah mixvibes is the one i wanna know about most.. cause i can use MAYA 44 usb rather than fs or serato with its own interface, cheaper this way.. can just buy the timecoded vinyl and dl the software off the net heh

How's the MAYA 44 USB with Mixvibes? What are your PC specs and are there any issues with latency, etc?

that's what i wanna know.. anyone has any experience wit it?

hey b, thanks and it's good to see you here...
i could get some help in some mixing tips

Sure thing mate - are you talking about mixing as in mixdowns of tracks, or mixing ala djing? Coz from what I remember, the mixdowns you've done on your tracks sound pretty darn good!
Curious, how long have you been doing all this for? and PM me your msn too if you're on there, cheers buddy.

OT - Leng when you say Nissan cars does that mean you can get the new GTR? I got quoted 650k, can you beat that?

my mix comment anyone ?

i'll check the price out...

b: i'm referring to the latter, dj'ing. erm... i've been doing it since 03... but i wasn't really serious about it so that explains the longer time to learn things up.

Leng, i dont know you are that long in this EDM industry until i stumble upon your profiles on the net....

any more new tunes coming up? love your remix on Jochen Miller - India track. any longer versions available?

lately been craving Alphazone's tunes & bought almost all their rare stuffs off beatport.

thanks for liking the track, speed. well, i'm afraid that's the only version i had. made that for a remix competition... didn't win though, but came in close at 2nd place

yeah, i have a new track in the making... still taking my own sweet time to put the pieces together

there's a compilation album named "Technology" by Adlib Records. do get a copy to support the locals. it will be hitting the stores this coming march/april... the cd is around amongst the promoters for the time being.

I'm in the midst of setting up a studio: 3 studios for your normal jamming and one room for recording which will be set-up properly with help from my bro-in-law (was ED of Warner until recently and has been in the industry for 30years or so.

Anyways thats besides the point. What I want is YOUR opinion of whether I'm taking a step in the right direction by having a pair of CDJ400s and a 2 channel mixer in all jamming studios my reasons being:

1) A lot of people want to become a DJ but lets face it, it can be costly

2) CDJ400s are cheap

3) Linkin Park etc all have DJ with turntables as part of their band so I'm providing local bands/youth the chance to experiment and who knows we might unearth some hidden talent

Yay or nay?

congratulations! at least you have something to be proud of...

i remember last year when i'm actually at 1st place in a forum based dj contest (the neatherlands based trance forum) (highest mark) & i only need my humble laptop to beat all of the contestants with the best gears!

yay. where about's ur studio and whats the rate? really wanna try out those 400's..
what mixer r u providing? would be great if u could add turntable(s) tho.. got some vinyl i havent played in a while...

i'm almost done with the track and i'm pretty much satisfied with it so far. i will definitely be trying my shot at the big ones this time which most likely think it won't get signed anyway... but what i'm aiming for is somatic sense. they're a famous label for trance genre.

i think for upcoming releases like your genre you should try for DAIF, Moonrising, Discover, Anjunabeats....just to name a few.

Somatic Sense is good but the response is not so fast like the release mentioned, in my opinion...
