Drum n bass mix

[quattro84]

Nice going Dest, IL5's & DnB seem to be a common interest here.
Is the scene changing in the UK as well? Over here i noticed that dubstyle is getting the overhand on breakbeat events, which i do not prefer... (still haven't heard anything matching the BC Recordings level )

It does have its uses you can use 4 decks on traktor so you can cue in samples drumloops ect over the playing tracks without worrying about the pitch, leaves you more time to play about with the mix.

If you are into that kind of stuff, pick up Live and a midi controller... you'll never look back.
I don't like Traktor and other Vinyl emulators much. Either use the real thing or embrace the digital world

Yeah I agree, I DJ for my main job, 4 nights a week and I simply had to get serato to keep up with everyone else, its just so easy travelling to gigs with 10,000 songs on the laptop as opposed to boxes and boxes of heavy destructible vinyl!

- That and the fact that the SL1200s in most club DJ boxes are wrecked beyond use!! I still rock the vinyl at home tho, Will never leave it!

Serious skills are being lost tho - most new DJ cannot mix without watching the nice colour coded waveforms in serato! its like mixing by numbers! They have totally lost, or never needed to learn, the art of mixing by ear!!
It gets to me a bit but what can you do.

I will never stop mixing on decks, be it with vinyl or serato with decks.
For me, I LOVE the physical aspect of mixing, the tactile experience of it all.
Mixing mp3s on a laptop with a mouse or pressing buttons mixing cds has no interest to me at all

I use Live with Faderfox controllers but I only play my own stuff, haven't used my decks for about 5 years now, I'm over playing other poeple music

I would ideally like to get a timecode set up to integrate my 1210s and the trusty djm600 but i cant warant it at the moment i stopped doing the free partys and clubs 3 years ago getting old sucks!

Vestax do a nice midi controller,
The VCI 100 is about the closes you can get to the real thing, and its ideal when traveling, I'm not suggesting for a second that its any better then the real thing but when space is an issue and you cant carry thousands of tunes with you then this thing hocked to a soundcard and a macbook or laptop is ideal..



nice mix btw

[kingfishers2]

Ive used that controller and like it alot djtechtools do some nice maps and mods for it.
This is what i would ideally want http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/44/index.html
My pioneer mixer has held up to serious abuse so im sure this would be of the same quality.
