dude that jazzsteppa vid is awesome! gotta to show that to my mate whos a dubstep freak. he'll lose his shit!

havent heard much about defqon1. thats the big international hard dance event isnt it?

last hard dance event i ever went to public domain vs. ultrasonic @ St Pauls. f@&k me, what a great night that was. unbeatable. i'm not into the hard dance stuff so much anymore however.

EDIT - update - f&^% me, speak of the devil. i just had an email land in my outlook inbox as i type this: defqon1: Adelaide - Friday 21st August! there ya go!

back on topic:

coming up soon Craig mate: 'Five Buck Bass' dubstep night at the crown & sceptre feat Feat. WELL BEING, JAH TRINITY + TRACK TEAM (ADL)

, Saturday 18th July. i reckon i'm gonna check it out. it'll be my first dubstep event outing!

AND, an event i definitely wont miss. Vincenzo - 25th July. About time a quality deep house act landed here. and held @ Sugar, perfect venue for it. Underground house in an underground type club. love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah the 5 buck bass thing I'm going too. Have to have a few quiet drinks mate. Its really something you gotta see live. the bass is amazing. dub is deff a sound you have to hear clear and on real nice systems.

Yeah I dont really get into any hard stuff either. I actually forgot who defqon was. thats why I asked, .. Hard stuff just gets annoying with the simple bass and cheesy sounds.

my noisia post at the top of the last page bounced my mind back to Drum & Bass the other night when i posted the rolling stones tune.

I had a browse through my audio files, and came across a D&B mixup me and one of my good mates recorded on a friday night after having several beers after work in 2007.

i had one of the master channels from my mixer wired into my PCs line in audio jack. Opened up cooledit, and hit record.

We were playing some more chilled out bouncy tunes in the beginning, and then my mate started throwing more darker tunes in that i was unfamiliar with, so i just sat back and spectated the rest of it.

According to the mastered file, it was 5th October 07, so we were playin d&B released around that time.

Some wild tunes in there. Like i said, gets dark and techier in the second half. Mixing was sloppy but not too shabby - blame it on the beers!

goes for just over an hour, mixed on 2x 1210s and a pioneer 2ch mixer.

check it: here

nice mix man. Really like the rolling bass lines at the start of the mix.

the way it should be. nice and bouncy at first then darker and bit harder

[PREISS]

Just about to fin. the mix.

Sounds good. I didn't really notice any sloppy mixing. Alot better than I could do after a few beers

[Luciano]

cheers mate!

i really like the sounds in the tunes in the first half, bouncy/ rollin bassline stuff; along the lines of Hospital records, Bingo Beats, RAM, Shogun etc. but the darker grimey stuff is still interesting!

[TALBO]

Got my studio all setup again after the house move

this was the band i was in back in the early 90's..it was called "los the plot"....we jammed...half the time stoned off our arses for months and months..and ended up doing ONE gig.....it was at a club called "at the beach" which was on beach road at christies beach...i think the place is now a pet store or something.....we played along the lines of the cure etc...i thought it was ok....the singer was a freak...mind you, you couldnt call what she was doing singing...ive heard cats getting neutered making better noises....the music wasnt really my thing as im a massive metallica fan..but i was just happy to be sitting up back bashing the crap out of the drums.....

THE END.

[PREISS]

I like some of the cures tunes. classics.

[nicr4wks]

Keyboard + synth will get you you on to heaps of diff instruments!

/me puts on flame suit and hides

On a side note, I've been messing with logic pro with some interesting results.

[TALBO]

Guitar + NI Guitar Rig = many many instruments Nothing wrong with synths, as alweays depends on how one uses them.

Logic Pro is a pretty impressive sequencer much like Pro Tools, but don't tell that to the Logic faithful! Only problem I have with Logic is availability of 3rd party plugins, being a Mac only sequencer. I got shitloads of EXS24 drums/synth samples if you're interested....

[PREISS]

Talbo. you got pro tools on disk ? I had a disk but couldnt get it working. Weird crack or something.

Also. Anyone got a mixer here ? I know you do Luciano.

Thinking of getting a pioneer DJM600. would love a 800 but obviously a little expensive.

[Luciano]

If you can get a 600 at a decent price, grab it Craig! My first mixer was a 300s, had all the same parts that are in the 600, just a 2ch without the effects and sampler. solid mixer it was, i sold it for the exact same amount i paid for it - pioneer is just quality.

you can still buy individual parts for them like faders and eqs (just in case your looking at a second hand unit). They do fail overtime, but they'll take a caning!

Pro Tools LE won't work without digidesign hardware and Pro Tools M Powered won't work without certain M Audio hardware. If you have either hardware and want the software PM me and I'll burn you some stuff.

Yeah was going to get something a little cheaper. Thought id save a little more and get a nice pioneer mixer. good quality. The knobs etc are nice too. chunky quality.

Gonna get 2 CDdjs and two decks aswell. A mate said I could play some dub at the club he plays at. Just need some more practice.

Know all my tunes etc just need to get back into mixing.

Talbo. Nah dont have that gear. Got some Novation hardware. Pretty good but the drivers are complicated and annoying

Afaik there ain't no crack for Pro Tools LE to run on non digidesign/M audio hardware.

Are you using Win XP? If so I might (somewhere) have an older version of Cubase SX or Nuendo that'll work with any ASIO hardware.

[PREISS]

Yeah had a look at cubase. wouldnt mind having a crack at it again.

Yep using XP.

I mainly use. Fruity loops studio producers edition 8. sony soundforge. acid. ableton live. Can make some decent sounds with the lot together.

[TALBO]

Let me know if you want to have a look at Cubase and I'll dig it out for you. Nuendo is pretty much the same as Cubase but with more features.

[PREISS]

not sure why. but I really love this song

wish It were a little clearer tho
