DJ Talk

In an effort to not crap on agent475's thread any more than I already have, I started this thread so we can discuss dj stuff.

In response to

I wanted to ask what were you running Torq on? XP, Vista, 7, Mac, etc? A friend of mine used it with no issues but I'm not sure what OS he was running and he might have had more RAM, etc. And the price on the those Pioneer mk1000's is retarded, I cant stand CD decks anyway. And yeah, needle skipping can be a bitch sometimes, especially with a bouncy stage/deejay booth floor but I just cant be without that vinyl feel!

 

I was running torq originally on xp, then bout a mac... had a gig of memory in the pc and a gig and half on the mac. if hes not having trouble with torq now, chances are he will at some point. seemed like if i played for over an hour the program would just freeze and crash.. hated it, serato is worth every penny. I love the vinyl feel too but after playing with some pioneer cdj's at a friends house i actually kinda like them.. thought id never say that tho. and all the features just blow everything else away!!

 

what genres you mix? I've never used any other digital vinyl system besides Serato and I doubt I ever will, totally worth the money.

 

Any other deejays on here?

 

drum n bass, dubstep, electro-house, breakbeats... and some hiphop at parties and such when people want it. what bout you?

 

nice. pretty much the same.

 

what producers you in to?

 

heres a few

house:

AC Slater
Tommy Sunshine
Jack Beats
Barletta

dubstep:

Caspa
Trolly Snatcha
Borgore
Bar 9
Nero

dnb:

Ben Sage
John B
Future Prophecies
A Sides

Lately I've been a bit out of the loop as far as new drum n bass - I stopped keeping up with it about a year or two ago when 95% of all dnb tunes at the time were complete shit. Seems lately I've been hearing some quality dnb tunes cranked out, modern dnb may be making a comeback. Dubstep, I like the harder stuff mostly but some of the more uplifting stuff is cool too, I usually try to keep a little variety in my dubstep sets cuz newbs will lose interest FAST when it comes to dubstep. As for house - well I love the jackin bassline stuff, bit of fidget, bmore, etc as well.

How bout yourself?

 

for dnb im mainly rockin chase n status, nero, logistics, apex (mainly the lighter side of things, used to be into all the heavy evol intent, spor, ewun, mumblz etc but grew out of it)

dubstep i dont really have a fav artist, i hear a trak i like and buy it... dont really keep up with the artists besides rusko and caspa

ive really been out of the game since last july when i graduated and moved out of my place. Im living inbetween my gf's house and my parents house until I can find a job and know where Im going to be for a while. so my tables are just resting for now

cant wait to be able to set up another sound room when i get another place

 

sucks being without studio space! What kinda gear you running? Me:

HP desktop for recording
Compaq laptop for producing
Dell laptop for Serato
Serato SL3
Technics 1200 mk2's
Allen & Heath Xone 22 mixer
Allen & Heath Xone XD 53 headphones
Dr Suzuki mix edition slipmats
Stanton Trackmaster II carts
B52 Matrix 2000 P.A. system

 

Cant believe the beekeeper thread has more posts lol

 

Haha I know right

Ive got a pretty basic setup

Mac Ibook for Serato
Serato SL1
Numark TTX's
Numark needles
Numark Mixer
Numark PHX headphones

and I didn't buy this in a kit. i pieced it togather but Im weird and like to stick to one brand. Im planning on selling everything but serato soon and going pioneer with the cdj-1000's and DJM-400 mixer.

but it will probably end up being a while.. cant find that equipment cheap

 

Pioneers rock solid fo sho. The 800 is dope but thats alotta money.
