Audio Arena the new DJ tech / Production eMag

[theprophet_filth]

I've started this as a discussion thread for all the video features, tutorials, equipment reviews and unsigned competitions in Audio Arena, brought to you by Drum&BassArena. The first edition is out already so if you missed it you can view here: http://cde.cerosmedia.com/1F47e27aac673eb012.cde and sign up for free from the back page of the eMag or sign up direct from our site http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/AudioArena/

In the first edition DnB Producer Excile opens his Reactor 5 tutorial with a punishing live DnB assault on the ears and goes on to talk about his involvement with Native Instruments, demo’s his patch in Reactor 5 and lots more.

Alex Banks of EZ Rollers give us the lowdown on their new sample pack and how they go about getting a project like that off the ground, a lot more work than it would seem! From there Banks lays down essential tips from the studio and goes on to discuss EZ Rollers live band and the possibility of yet another album from the DnB legends.

Mix master and veteran of DnB Randall shows you how to mix like a pro and the first of the bi-monthly unsigned tracks competition has begun so vote away and get your tracks in to be in with a chance in the coming issues.

There are also free downloadable sample packs and equipment reviews direct from The Plasa Show 2007 and BPM, two of the biggest DJ equipment events in the UK. So, if you didn’t make you can check out video reviewa of the Allen and Heath Zone42, M-Audio’s Torq (to rival Serato and Stanton Final Scratch)and all the latest from Kam, Ecler, Vestax, Numark and Pioneer.

Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated so please get in touch to say what you love or hate about it, so far nothing but good comments so come on, do your worst

Enjoy

Have you checked out the demo from Native Instruments? If you have reactor you can 'mash up the breaks' just as Exile does in the feature. Tough luck if you don't, its great fun!

ive known about exile for a few years now, and seen a few vids on how he goes about his work. i dont have reaktor, but i do want a copy coz ive heard the synth noisia built in it 2 or 3 years ago is quite good. as for mashing up breaks i use dblue glitch which is pretty damn good
