i know this sounds a funny, but i have no idea how this whole "dj'ing" works. what is it all about. how does for example aphex twin make this cool live stages. i saw on a few pictures that he had a laptop. is he making the whole music live ? what programs does he use ? could ayone waste some time and explain it to me ? |

What you do is, you buy two laptops, and place each one on a turntable, and press on the 'on' button so they begin to spin, and music magically comes out! The faster the spin, the louder the music. Truly magnificent. |

You're most welcome, my esteemed friend and scholar. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i hope this works with a normal pc... don't have a laptop... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I presume it would be even louder, my good friend. Get those earmuffs on! |
||||||||
|

|
|
hm, i have a good idea. i can put the tower on one turntable, and the monitor on another... i have a wireless mouse and keyboard, so i can still use it !!! FUN !! |
||||||||
|

|
|
maybe someone else ?? |

Be careful when scratching! Adios! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you'd need a program like reaktor. or maybe it's traktor. i can never remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about ableton live ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
traktor, plus two sound cards for monitoring. one mixer. can of coke. two midgets, a tall guy in a toga, and then youre set. |
||||||||
|

i'm gonna get a bunch of vinyl soon and hopefully play a show sometime |

I guess 2 decks, with some xclusive "dub plates" and a laptop with either some more of yer own tracks or some kind of software where you can mix tunes live. |

i think dj'ing is really pointless nowadays when you can just compose it on the computer then play it on a cd |
||||||||
|

i think steinberg have a new program out that lets you mix all your mp3s on your hard drive with on screen crossfader and bpm match i will have to check it out but am off to bed now. night night:) |

look mr.SADIST(yo tak w ogóle!)- mr.afx is very clever and i bet that he uses some home made programs computer and 2 turntables with a special lp fulled with samples for scratching and so... he plays some part from computer and some from lp then he mixes it and viola he has a song done.... look for a record of aphex twin called words and music, about djing he says something like that: "the way i do live stuff vveries a lot!. It depands on the tracks that i wanna play, difrent tracks require diffrent setups and the whole process is FUCKING comlicated" - cytat z pamiêci:) |

But really good DJs will change their set according to the way the crowd behave/react- a "pre burnt" set isn't as good, for this reason. I'm DJing in Bristol this Thursday for a mate's rock society. Only small, 40-50 people in a pokey club, but it'll be fun. |

|
what are you using ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A mixture of Vinyl and CDs (hate using CDs, but I don't have enough rock music on vinyl...) and a CD of remixes/rarities burnt from MP3. I wish there was a sort of DJ library where you could just borrow vinyl you need for one off gigs. I'd use traktor, but my PC is far too unstable. Oh for a pair of G4 i-books... |

I did a set at a house party. The drum and bass DJ and MC had a break so I mixed Rephlex, Warp, Gabber and Acid. I was really shit because I was too stoned but the music more then made up for it to the people who did run away from the weird guy hiding behind the decks making a noise. After that the drum and bass MC and DJ kicked back in. Was fucking cool. }:> |

'to the people who didn't run away' that is. |

Hehe! I was in london for some clubbing in february 2001. Had a really nice time at fabric and the end and some club at a bar called rhumba. |

||||||||

i heard acid pro was good so i got it and i was dissappointed |

It's fast to use if you have a well sorted collection of royalty free samples, but for actual composition it is pretty basic. I think the only reason I'd use it anymore (I started using it years ago) would be to knock something up very quickly. |

playing at a student union is cool, we are hoping to get not just vinyl/CD setup in there, but a mac and a kaos pad and stuff too, should be fun. :) |
||||||||

I'm taking my kaoss pad with me :) |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do u work reaktor...do u have to have external hardware? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You can use a midi controller pad (like the kaoss pad) or a knob-box to control it. NeoExmnist: It's a real time FX box as well as a midi controller. The FX are a bit gash compared to what you can do on a PC and it's far too Bassy, especially the sampler. Still it's good for cheap and cheerful live remixes. |
