Equally, I don't think relying on your eyes as a cyclist is good idea - i can think of loads of occasions I've been alerted to things by sounds, despite always looking around carefully

I think the bookies are lurking on Dissensus, and adjusting the odds as we speak after reading this thread.

I reckon Burial's going to get it.

Some study recently found that men tend to have less accidents than women when cycling, and this was put down to a tendency to more aggressive cycling, including running red lights. RE - Hackney being most improved borough for cycling - I pass a bus stop advert that proudly proclaims "London...

Ableton workshop At Cargo, on the 24th, free... http://www.cargo-london.com/event/ableton-live-workshop Run by Pitch Black, who I'm not a massive fan of... could be useful though?

Yeah totally - Ableton is great for creating mixes with edits and effects, and for doing a studio based mix I use it all the time. It's more to do with digital files - folders full of music, whether alphabetical or by genre, I find really hard to look through to come up with the next track etc...

The button with the two dots in the top left, although I'm sure you've worked that out by now! Running the metronome during playing a clip and making little shifts of the warp markers can get things really accurate. The biggest disadvantage of using ableton (or traktor) for that matter is...

This amused me greatly when it showed up in my inbox on friday - anyone else had it? Subject: Can you do this? From: Hon Patricia Hewitt MP <hon_patriciahewitt@parliament.gov.uk> Reply to: hon_patriciahewitt@yahoo.com.hk Dear Friend, I am Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt MP. Leicester's first woman MP...

I actually want to make a CD for duplication, and was hoping I could just burn a CD of AIFFs. I think I need to make red book compatible one? I wonder if toast can do that...

Right, so your standard CDR is 700mb/80min capacity. How come then, I have a bunch of AIFF audio tracks, total size 784mb, total running time 77 mins 40 sec? I can burn a CD from itunes, but I can't fit the raw audio tracks on CD? :confused:

This is very true. If you zoom right it, position the warp marker on the first trough before the first peak, then repeat on the corresponding trough on the next warp marker. With anything electronic/drum machine based I find you can get away with two markers on the whole track, one at the end...

My mathematics is somewhat rusty. What are these referring to?

Finally finished watching season 5, and I was probably cynically overstating my point above... ;) Series 4 really was fantastic, I found the plot in series 5 a bit too much OTT - I could buy the whole Hamsterdam storyline as sort of plausible, but McNulty and Lester's schemes verged on the...

Some of you may remember this incredible bit of kwaito techno from the African youtube thread a while ago... finally seeing the light of day on 12", with a nice heavy cut from Transition, and digital. Here's the youtube clip that started it off (how do you embed youtube code here btw?)...

RE helmets - I stopped wearing mine when it got hot, because it was making my head too sweaty. According to my cycling obsessed housemate (he frequently spends his weekends doing 20 hr 400km non-races called audaxes - always amusing to hook up on a Sunday after we've both been awake all night...

I did, until my shiny nice new Cannondale got pinched from inside our fucking office cause someone left the door a little ajar. Grrr. I only did a short commute from Clapton to Shoreditch, and it was about 3 times as fast as taking the bus, which means rolling out of bed a whole lot later. Be...

Some years ago, I came into possession of a CD of early BoC tracks titled "demo tape", which has some great stuff on it, the highlight being a track called "Trapped" which has a pitched down soul/pop acapella over an exemplary BoC pads and beats construction. Similar in style to their "Midas...

http://www.entrances2hell.co.uk/page287.html I swear that looks like the corner of Brixton hill and Arodene Road. And not Keswick.

I think this is great - I used to fence when I was younger, and the sport was dominated by kids from public schools who went to posh London salles. I think I read in some Olympics newsletter that dropped through our door that kids from a club in Homerton or Stratford had come top of their...

Not been on dissensus much for a while, not even lurking - partly cause of this little project. This Is Music is proud to present it's first release, Lord Skywave. This is the solo project of Simon Lord, vocalist with the now defunct Simian, and contains three generations of music making -...
