Numark DM 1050 DJ Mixer
I bought this to feed my vinyl turntable into before outputting to my main mixer. as a sub-mixer I guess it is ok, but this is marketed as a DJ mixer and would not do that job at all well. with minimal use the crossfader broke and now produces a scratchy hiss when moved. The EQ knobs may as well be painted on for all the gain/cut they are capabale of

thanks for the info Basilisk

the music doesn't stop
DJs and live acts play music that suits the time of day/night
songs generally play for more than 2 minutes before being mixed
in my experience there are some creative DJs,
but more often it's a guy mixing from one track to the next
so song choice and reading the audience becomes more important than technical wizardry
i wouldn't consider adding voice samples to a song to be a remix
it would be pretty hard to genuinely remix another person's song on the fly
when you make your own stuff you can control all the separate channels live, add fx, mutes, transpose etc
but if you are playing a CD or wav/mp3 you're pretty confined
-
Green Nunions is a really good tune
i have it on a Distance to Goa compilation
it's intense
-
cycles of life!

so you will play .wav files from your PC? because you mention not needing CDs again.
does the playing of .wav files require alot more RAM, and thus a better computer?
-
You are probably right about that but it still remains a full-on album which happens to be better than other look-a-likes without exactly being something genuine,which of course was his first album,Elements.
i can see where you're coming from
i haven't heard Elements, so I can't compare the two. You're probably correct in saying the music can be taken further. As it is though, Mr P's one of the few full-on artists I continually listen to and I really like his style...the melodies remind me alot of vintage Infected
-
forgive my ignorance, but won't playing mp3 versions of songs adversely affect the sound quality?
-
sweet thanks for the advice Abasio,
between this and your Ishq mix you've put me onto some sweet chill recently
cheers
-
yeah those 2 tracks definitely ruin the flow of this compilation
why buy a compilation if you're just going to end up with random tracks because the journey was compromised with blatantly out of place songs?
I think Bodhissatva should stick to up-tempo tracks
still the Ishq sounds lovely
-
Typical commercial full-on IMO.Same bass,same sounds,same samples,same breaks,same climaxes which usually leave you hanging.
Please escape the loop.
i really disagree with this
recently i have heard the albums from Commercial Hippies, AMD, Tristan, latest Space Cat and Space Buddha, Cosmosis etc and none have hit me like the new Mr Peculiar. I find the albums from the aforementioned artists to have the characteristics you described, whereas the Mr P album (while still being an album filled with full-on style tunes) has a genuinely psychedelic vibe. Of course there are breaks and drops and fat rolling basslines, but they are tempered with trippy synths and neuron-shifting motifs. it is fast-paced, dancey stuff but it actually trips me out and has mental substance to it, which I find most 'full-on' releases these days fail to achieve
-
how do you guys rank this album compared to the first two? are they worth checking out?
or are there any compilations Asura has good tracks on? i'm keen to explore this sound further
-
amazing album
very different moods
the title track is super groovy
-
:lol @ Pavel

Ishq
in DJ Promotion
i've been really enjoying this mix
the first and only time i'd heard Ishq before this was on Intermittent Memories
this mix has made me a big fan of his sound
thanks again
-
yeah, the sounds on this album really made me realise how bland most synths in modern production are
-
Ishq
in DJ Promotion
thanks man
grabbing it now
-
Ishq
in DJ Promotion
any chance or reuploading this?
fingers crossed
-
Reefer Decree and Vibrasphere
Lish and Freq
Fractal Glider and Mr Peculiar

i don't think i like the new direction
ok i gotta eat my own words
i've been playing the new album for a few days now and it is fucking amazing
bravo
EDIT: is the album version of the single different to the version released prior to the album. maybe i heard one of the remixes, 'cos it had a really different vibe to what's on the album. (i think it had a video?)
-
a great album with some huge tracks
very sharp soundwork
-
Hey frosty, here's a sample of a bassline in my latest song with reason:
I personally think it sounds pretty good, and you _can_ get good sound out of reason. So if you like it I can make a little tutorial for you (:
dude that bass sounds fucking amazing, no-one can argue that reason has weak bass after hearing that
-
i don't think Reason has "bad" bass
i think alot of people are spoiled by VSTs that literally overwhelm you with artificial fatness
the Subtractor is an amazing instrument and is capable of wide-ranging synthesis
i think people need to spend the time getting to know their virtual instruments, rather than rapidly going through their VST folder dialing up all the bass pre-sets
-
i remember hearing the single and not liking the use of vocals....are there many tracks here with singing?

i think this is a good idea Basilisk, especially for people new to the music
i agree that Freq should get a look in, CBL is a good one or maybe Short Life Again (made a huge impact from memory)
I think that Son Kite (Kob Adjustment) track is overrated, but there is a need for some minimal showcasing. maybe Stereo Sound by Cujorious One? (i think that track even originated here at psynews)
also +1 to Shaolin Wooden Men
