i am in love with sweet harmony but haven’t really heard any thing else by liquid. whats the rest of their stuff like? any other corkers so to speak?

heyyyy dan, nice to meet you.

Traktor is ok i suppose it all depends on how you want to control your mp3s? do you want to be using a control surface that resembles near enough real mixing? If so you might want to look into serato scratch live or tarktor. With these programs you can use your existing decks whether they be cd or vinyl to control mp3s. This works by using special control records and cds. Your mixer is then plugged into a special interface which plugs into your computer. So anything you do to the record on the platter will automatically happen to the mp3 that your computer is playing.
Then there is ableton which Is my personal favourite as it is much more unconventional and will probably be very different than anything you have ever done before unless you have ever tried your hand at producing. Ableton is basically like a very very advanced itunes or something. you have a screen in which you can choose to set up as many channels as you like in each channel you will load a selection of mp3s. You can load in as many different mp3s as you like to each channel but you cant fade between mp3s in the same channel that’s why you add lots of different channels, I don’t use anymore than 5. Before playing you can load in all the songs that you might be likely to play. You can then roughly arrange them in the channels and colour coordinate them so you know where your 89 acid house selection is. The difference between mixing on decks and ableton is that you do all your beat matching before hand. You have to go through your mp3 selection and add a warp points every time there is a beat. This means that ableton will sync all of your tracks together perfectly when you are playing and they will all stick to a set tempo. This leaves you free to get really creative with your mixing by adding lots of different effects, cutting and adding loops and with abelton you can even wack in new beats on the spot. It really is a completely new way of mixing. Ableton can auto warp tracks but some times it gets it a bit wrong.
The nuo 4 is a sicccccc mixer! Unfortunately for something like ableton it wont really give you enough control you need loads of buttons and knobs. You should check out some you tube demos. If your computer is slow I would recommend ableton live 5 it runs on my old ibook quite nicely and personally its my favourite version. Hope this helps a bit.

risky- 87 years. im slightly disappointed!

you wouldn’t use decks! :omg_no: :omg_no: :omg_no: :omg_no: :omg_no: :omg_no:
if you wanted to use decks as well you could use your computer and midi controller as a real time effects processor for what ever you are playing on your decks. or as a sampler for some nice loops or even a drum machine.

only my second morning in/on party vibe and its great! a good morning to you all.

Salibury / Bournemouth. nothing goes on in salisbury or around it, Bourenmouth is much better.

Im sorry guys but non of you are having it as bad as me at the moment. My neighbour is a little old lady who I have known nearly all my life, unfortunately she is going a bit crazy. She keeps phoning the old bill on me and accusing me of doing crazy things. So far I have apparently broken into her house several times without any signs of forced entry, I have taken the mattress off her bed and then put it back again, I have also stolen her jewellery although she doesn’t know what and removed the door handles to her cupboard ohh and she thinks im a little boy, or that’s what she tells the police. Anyway its not that bad as the police know her problem and know I haven’t done any of this weird stuff its just the problem of the police always coming round my house to check up on things, “ right we will pop round some evening next week” they could at least tell me when. that kind of threat can really put you off your usual weekend of fun.

well i have had experience with behringer stuff before and generally its crap. i think the midi controllers might be the exception. this controller is very user friendly, does everything you could want of it and is well built. so far i have had no problems! and if its good enough for daftpunk to use live then its good enough for me.
