    DAW questions thread

    Most of the guys I know who started with Cubase have switched to Logic. I'm also running LE and, as you say, it is very easy on the system. What I like about it is that it's so stripped down that you're forced to really understand what you're trying to do so you can figure out a work-around...

    Slightly off-topic: is anybody still using Cubase?

    Cdj 2000

    Try 1800GBP for the CDJ-2000 and 1300GBP for the CDJ-900. Let's face it, you could get yourself a pretty nice set-up of decks and mixer for 1800 pounds.

    Campaign For Real DJ's

    You want to talk about shit sound: Serato! I don't know if it's the hardware or the software, but Serato makes even the warmest house sound sterile. My feeling is that the DJ should always be busy, whether it be tweaking EQs, teasing with samples, extending with two copies, or what-have-you...

    The best "The 12" Versions" re: 80s retro, post punk, dance music etc..

    Phil Harding, too. His 12" version of Pet Shop Boys' "Always On My Mind" is by far my favourite.

    Dissensus Cassette Swap - Unplugged

    Danny's system is going to fix that. To get a tape one will have to first send a tape.

    dj headphones

    *sigh* Yes, I am rapidly ascending the price peak. Ultrasone and Allen & Heath are between me and HD-25s, but I have to ask myself if the experiment with unproven brands are worth it. I will say this about the Beyerdynamics; the service has been exceptional. When I called the canadian...

    dj headphones

    Right, so my Beyerdynamics have snapped at the swivel... just like every other DJ headphone I've ever owned. Does anybody make headphones out of metal? I'm sick of breaking plastic cans.

    Dissensus Cassette Swap - Unplugged

    I'm in for sure, too. The problem with the thread idea is that it's not annonymous. Maybe that's not a big deal to anyone anymore? The trouble was that in order to force reviews, I had to "remind" people regularly. It's a fine line between reminding and nagging, and frankly, I walked on the...

    Dissensus Cassette Swap - Unplugged

    In terms of received tapes, the FLC was actually a rousing success: I only had two participants who didn't get tapes. It's the reviews that are tough, if not impossible, to pry out of people. I've been working on a wifi electric shock delivery device to ensure reviews get delivered, but...

    Managing studio acoustics

    *bump* We've just moved and our new place has a basement room for a den/man-cave. I'll be sharing the space with the hot water heater and the deep freeze, but IT'S MINE ALL MINE. The room itself is an odd shape, with a space at one end probably designed for a closet, but never finished. It...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    That's not what I asked. Maybe such a thing exists in other software (Logic? Ableton?), but not in Cubase.

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    Here's one for the producers: How much do beats need to be delayed for the loops to "swing"?

    I really dig that "Warped Mind" track from the Berghain EP.

    Dogma 08 (for djs)

    Perhaps UFO over easy has a point after all. Let's start again and stop being negative; DOs instead of DON'Ts. DO play tracks that have been properly mastered and sound good on a large system. DO mix it up, cross genres, and vary BPMs during your set. DO break new music whenever possible...
