CD Decks are good and all. But Serato (or sim) is just soooo much more fun!

Personally, I go for simplicity and quality rather than bells and whistles. At the end of the day, any mixer on the market will do the job but some just ooze quality. More features just mean more shit to go wrong. If you want FX, you can always get a Kaos Pad later on (but do check for sends and ret...

Don't know about your exact setup but... I'm no expert on this (I don't really know what I'm doing really) but I built my own sub last year. Deciding on a crossover frequency and generally setting things up was a real pain in the arse. I settled on a 12db/octive filter with a crossover @ 80Hz. This ...

I suppose that, like it or not, dubstep is a global, broadsheet darling, saviour of british electronic music. If respective DJs want to control things for the scene's benefit, then they have that right and fans should respect that. What planet are you on? No-one has the "right" to act lik...

I can't think of one reason for not allowing cameras in the club. And don't give me any "the flash distracts the deehjhays as they mix" bullshit. Seems it was perfectly acceptable for photos to be taken (and posted on the forum) when some free publicity was needed to hype up the night. Do ...

Er..sorry bout that, mate. :oops: To answer your post, I recommend general books on production rather than anything specific to a sequencer. As I said before, the principals don't change - just a way of working. Bob Katz's "Mastering Audio" is highly recommended. Although aimed at the mast...

Have you guys who think fwooty is the bees knees ever used Cubase or Logic? I detect a hint of snobbishness in your post. There's nothing wrong with fruity. All sequencers essentially do the same thing - only the bells and whistles and user interface change. I have used Cubase in the past - It is o...

Verb / Delay - it's all good :D When you get a plate cut, the mastering engineer will sum the bass frequencies to mono - stereo bass tends to cause the needle to fly out of the groove. On that level there will be no point in putting a stereo effect on yer bass sounds (everything below 400-500Hz, so ...

For the money, KRK's RP series are well worth it. I've had a listen to the RP8s and to my ears no complaints. Been thinking about getting a pair for a while now - personally I wouldn't go for anything less than the 8" woofer. With anything smaller, there's a chance of over-cooking the bass - a ...

Are people "wrong" when they refer to an MC as a Deejay? The use of the word "dub" to refer to a tune has become current and no one seems to have any trouble understanding what is meant. The word is USED to mean "tune" so, therefore, that is what it means. Thinking abou...

These established producers can contribute to the production forum simply by replying to existing threads or starting their own. If they are unwilling to share information as a matter of course why would a Q&A session drag anything useful out of them? I also think it's unhealthy to put people on...
