I started off with reading a few bits here and there in the quick start manual but I’ve got the furthest so far just through trial and error. It had a few lil glitches when I got it so I did a factory reset and it seems to be running a bit better. That faq looks pretty handy!

So far I’ve got it connected to the middle channel on my mixer and I’ve been using it as a sort of third deck, making my mixes more interesting by bringing in more percussion, synths and noises over the top. It seems like a good lil toy thus far.

Excellent, I just got a 505 for xmas and this should come in useful for getting round some of it’s odd quirks and nuances 🙂

If you’re looking for budget but quality without tacky price-inflating features I’d recommend looking at Citronic’s range of decks – Direct drive (essential if you’re serious about djing), with enough torque to allow you to learn the basics but not masses which I found helpful when I was learning so as to teach you to be careful and delicate with your beatmatching and cueing. They’re your basic technics clones so when/if he upgrades there won’t be a massive step in terms of getting used to design etc.

http://www.decks.co.uk/products/decks/citronic/pd1s

225quid for a pair isn’t going to break the bank and if you decide djing isn’t for you then you haven’t really thrown too much away.

There’ll be other options for beginners out there, but I’ve got experience with Citronics so it’s what I’d recommend. Whatever you do, you shouldn’t get belt drives

Or try and get a pair of second hand Technics.. try cash convertors or somewhere coz then even if u decide Djing ain’t for you, you will still be able to sell them on without losing much money as 1210’s hold their value and there is always a market for them

Hehehe I recognise that post Seonaid 😛 http://forum.clubdogma.com/showthread.php?t=16750 , but yeah to reiterate my point (and on a thread where I’m not going to get ripped into for suggesting non-technics decks!) I really appreciated starting on lower torque decks as the sensitivity really teaches you to be careful in your mixes and you can then go on and be able to mix on a broad variety of decks at parties/folk’s flats etc regardless of the deck. I felt that if I’d started on technics I wouldn’t have had the experience of carefully “twisting the nipple” and making gentle changes which I learnt with my Citronics.

If you start off, imo, with non-technics, then it’s an easier jump upto technics than it would be if all your experience was with technics and you turned up at a party where they had some low-torqued geminis etc and you ended up all over the place. Obviously this is just from personal experience and everyone learns differently, but that’s my 2p.

Are u using reason 3 which supports vsts?

If yes then here are sum recomended vst instruments

battery – 128 sample drum machine – prob is you cant automate the parameters if you change a sample it stays like that but I needed it for logic

Dr-008 another drum machine I havent got hold of this 1 but I hear its good

Vangaurd – very good synth 4 trance riffs/ everything

Halion 2/3 – sampler useful for the keyboard/ live stuff ect (3rd needs dongle protection cracked but works fine)

Audio realism bassline – tb 303 emulator cool

Tbl bass line

bass station

native instruments gold is an effect package (reverb, delay, filters ect)

who know some cool 1s?

Im looking 4 1s that take in samples and can modulate them like a synth with sample graintable stuff ect

Reason doesn’t support vsts mate.

Exactly. Hit the nail on the head there. I’ve been reading pv and sj for the same amount of time, but I’ve only ever been a member of partyvibe for exactly that reason.

Just listening to Tom Baker singing “How soon is now” (from that link Globalloon posted up). Fairly stoned, itching to do some production but I’m down visiting my parents at the moment and don’t have my laptop with me. As soon as I get back northwards I’ll be able to try out my lovely brand spanking new Alesis m1 active mk2 monitors *drools*

If youlike your ragga, theres a wicked scene in San Fransisco, Soundmurderer, and just discovered a new one (for me!) called Koda, theres a such a good tune he made called haters war, I like ragga core, so it may be too heavy for you, buts its sooo good, its my new tune of the month, if you are on myspace go to
http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=715092
Honestly, his tunes are the best mate!

Also try a record label called Crimson Tide, oh man, if you like your ragga, you will REALLY love thier tunes, got a CD of a mix of the label, its soooo good!! Also got a lot of Soundmurder vinyl too, its quite pricey but theres a shop called Zions Gate online that does the best
:bigsmile:

I think I’ve heard of Koda before, I don’t have any of his stuff though. Aye I’m quite digging raggacore and ragga breakcore at the moment, I find the best place to get choons from is
http://www.outerbound.co.uk, although a tad pricey, it has a really good selection of jungle, ragga jungle, ragga breakcore and straight up breakcore goodness :bigsmile:

Excellent, that looks like a good mix (perhaps cause I’ve bought quite a few of those choons recently) – an admirable tracklist indeed. Summat about Canada though, loads of new ragga jungle labels starting up, releasing some really good stuff. I’ll try to remember to download this when I get back to my flat at the weekend (will save me from having to go to the effort of mixing my own choons :bigsmile: ).
March 31, 2006 at 1:49 am in reply to: UK : Scot : is all of Scotland being turned into a call centre? #1069178
Munch
Participant
Most folk I know in Edinburgh in their late teens/early twenties who aren’t in full time education, and predominantly those involved in the free party/techno scene all seem to work in call centres, in particular Mori market research. The hours appear to be quite flexible and the pay above minimum wage. The only problem a lot of my mates have is that there are so many people employed there they often have difficulty managing to book enough shifts. I’ve never really felt an inclination to work there, however. I know how annoying it is to have random phonecallers, although market research isn’t quite as bugging as having folk trying to sell you a new kitchen etc.

Having looked at the place on the map it actually does seem very remote compared to Brighton, it doesn’t even seem to be near any of the places where our Scottish crew live. Even they would have quite a mission to get these, TBH I think he has been sent up there for this very reason as noone in England would put up with such an event after his track record.

Yer, I’m staying in Aberdeen at the moment, and even from there Inverness is still over 100miles further North West.

Also, one of the only roads up to Inverness (short of having to go up the coast), and by far it’s main communication route is the A9, which is known as one of the most dangerous roads in Britain in terms of accidents, with many many blackspots. The mind boggles at the thought of 20,000 extra folk driving (give or take for those going by plane/train) up there.

This doesn’t bode well.

Me and my flatmate just got our wireless network set up, and we went with plus.net for our broadband. It seems to be a pretty good deal – no set up fee, 14.99 a month, unlimited downloading, 2mb connection – tis all pretty swish. Last night I was getting a download speed of 200 kbps while my flatmate was downloading music on his laptop aswell as ragging away on halo2 on xbox live at the same time so it seems to be fairly good from where I’m sitting.

My family have wanadoo and have just recieved a notice saying they exceeded their 2gb monthly download limit and thus broke their terms of service. ooer. They’re paying 17.99/month for a 1mb connection with only a 2gb cap limit? Methinks I got a better deal.

what is schranz? I guess its a European term. Perhaps its what we call “hardstyle” here in Britain?

Your right it’s a European term, but it’s more along the lines of heavily distorted hard techno, the wikipedia definiton is:

Schranz is the name given to European hard techno, a style of techno typically around 140-150 BPM and based around massively bass-heavy kick drums, driving percussion and distorted, looping synth noises. The term originated in 1994 when Chris Liebing used it to describe a certain type of techno in a record store he ran; it has no particular meaning in any language. Some important producers in the genre are DJ Amok, DJ Rush, Sven Wittekind, The Anxious, Arkus P, Tom Hades and Patrik Skoog.

Tis a shame, he was a legend of a boy. Will be sorely missed! Will be interesting to see whether channel4 try and milk countdown without him and then watch it slowly sink away once they realise that he was the main entertainment element of the program!

My actual degree at the moment is in Geography at Aberdeen uni, but to make up enough credits to pass into second year you need to take another 2 subjects, so I do Sociology and Anthropology too. Kinda handy, as I’ve realised that geography’s actually shite and I’m planning on changing my degree to Sociology and taking Anthropology with it next year (well that’s the plan at the moment anyhoo).

Tis only friday tis it not? Unless I’ve missed a day again…

Got my exam results back today and it turns out I’ve passed all my courses so that’s me finished first year of uni! Fuckin’ yas! I thought I’d be bored off my ass today, but went into town and ended up playing a bit of basketball, then picked up a Q, went out for a chinese meal, and here I am now.

One complaint though is that despite it being warm, it’s been terribly cloudy up here, meaning a very muggy and humid afternoon (not at all nice to play basketball in!)

I can identify with ya USE man, goin out to a rave in my favourite location in Edinburgh tomorrow night, and I had the opportunity to either go to Dogma (one of the premier techno nights in the burgh) or UTI (again, a very good club, having a free night this evening) but I’m staying in to save myself for tomorrow night. Just guna chill with some choons and some ganj, followed by a good night’s sleep, then a nice healthy picnic tomorrow afternoon should set me in good stead. 🙂

In the past while during the abscence of PV, me and my mates were entrusted with the task of shifting an ounce of bud for a mate who’d gone home for a few days. As it’s exam time once again we’d all made a pact to lay off the smoke till the exams are done, but when a big phat O arrives in front of you what you guna do?

To cut a long story short, we’d smoked it all by the time my mate got back and we’ve just finished paying him back for it. Ho hum 🙂

Oh aye, had my geography exam today. Didn’t go as badly as I thought it could have, and I spent the majority of the paper blabbering on about devolution, the scottish parliament and what it means for independence in Scotland (the topic for this half of the semester in geography is Scotland in Transition, so it’s relevant!).
