No worries, she worked on the last two with the guys that put it on...andythetwig wrote:dedbeat 2002, pontins norfolk...
After playing baseball with plastic bowling pins in the kitsch-filled campsite shop, I watched about 400 punters dance like parkinsons to venetian snares and a guy in a skirt ahout randomly at the seething mass of drugged up tossers. But eventually it was time to turn off the PA. as the music faded, You could hear a dull "whump whump" coming from the corner of the room. Somebody had strapped a huge bass box to their back and were leading people, like the pied piper, back to a chalet party.
At the chalet party (which was coincidentally next door to my own) A very nice chap was passing around free wraps of special k for breakfast, while somebody played the most random shit on some beat up old decks. I stayed til late morning, watching the festival's dedicated tv channel. Somebody had gaffer taped a microphone to their head in a dirty-sanchez style competition to win a couple of white labels and cdrs, and the "presenter" was ripping it off resulting in delightful screams of pain from the poor muntered fool.
Absolutely the messiest festival I'd ever been to, and totally got me into the sound of planet mu.
thankyou dedbeat, please say thankyou so much to your friend, zefa.
I have one of those too.atomly wrote:I actually have an Echo Audio Indigo dj card for my laptop, so I have two outs. I set it up so that channels alternate between the two outs and I have them plugged into separate channels on the DJ mixer, that way I can actually use the crossfader and EQs on the real mixer, which is quite nice.

If you've just got a shitty onboard or any cheap card you can use http://www.asio4all.com/ These add an ASIO driver to your system and if your card has seperate front and rear (surround) outputs these can be used as seperate stereo outs to feed your mixer. Also gives you low ASIO latency n' shit. If that makes any sense ...atomly wrote:I actually have an Echo Audio Indigo dj card for my laptop, so I have two outs.

Here's a rather fun recording of Surgeon doing a recent Ableton set for us down in Bristol.elemental wrote:I caught a Surgeon set end of last year at some Warp night down Plastic People. Was very slick, the way he just plonked his powerbook and his little box of faders on top of the deck. It was more a of a DJ set than live p.a. but sounded like he was mixing in loops over tunes aswell, and cutting up loops etc.
Tis a wicked set....casino addict wrote:Here's a rather fun recording of Surgeon doing a recent Ableton set for us down in Bristol.elemental wrote:I caught a Surgeon set end of last year at some Warp night down Plastic People.

Perhaps a bit techno-centric for some bods around these parts, but he drops a whole load of Vex'd edits into the mix to pretty rocking effect.

I thought one was a microphone socket only? can you get an unboosted line signal out of it?
there's a tap button next to the tempo control, I'm sure it's possible...sek [espionage] wrote:IÂ’m very interested in using this program as an additional tool to my exciting dj setup.
IÂ’m curiousÂ…
Can you tap or use another intuitive way to adjust the pitch of respective track?
IÂ’d like to hook live up the line ins to my mixer, and my turntables to the phono ins.
Ideally IÂ’d like to mix from a turntable channel to a LIVE channel at some point.
Is it easy enough to beat match a LIVE track to an externally played tempo like this?
