Members GoldSeraph Posted June 27, 2002 Members Share Posted June 27, 2002 Wondering why this board doesn't seem to attract more than 4 or 5 actual Djs. I guess Harmony central is just a very guitar and bass centric website . Hrm... all people who actually mix records together or scratch, raise your hands? I mix progressive house and tech house, and am interested in getting into producing when I have the money. Goldy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted June 27, 2002 Members Share Posted June 27, 2002 I spin deep and progressive trance. I've recently become more interesed in production but have yet to decide whether or not I'd like to persue it. Kind of unfortunate there aren't a few more ideas being tossed around here. It seems that way for just about every dj board I've been to. The only people who ever post anything are beginners looking for help or people asking about equipment. Not that those questions are bad, but it would be nice if people talked about what they did once they figured it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted June 27, 2002 Members Share Posted June 27, 2002 Check out skoolhouse.com. If you have a way of converting it into an audio file you can send it to them and they post it. That's the only site I know of that does it.

Members DjSpamTin Posted June 28, 2002 Members Share Posted June 28, 2002 Originally posted by ae5 can you send me a mix tape or cd? I haven't got enough vynil to do a mixtape...i've got a 10 breaks/scratch records, but my proper music is limited to 10xd&b, 2xAphex, 2xBoC and 1xAutechre + random Jazz...that's probably enough I guess but to be honest my mixing skills suck and if I want to use 2nd turntable I've got to clear my desk cos there's not enough space. So most of the time I just have the one tt and scratch, it's what I got em for in the first place anyways.I'll post a file or something when I get round to putting something together.... Cheers!

Members Dib432 Posted July 1, 2002 Members Share Posted July 1, 2002 I spin house, as well as IDM and downtempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djsynrgy Posted July 3, 2002 Members Share Posted July 3, 2002 started on trance, still dick with it on occasion, but not really.. dabble in progressive house, still have a place in my heart for hard disco house (the cheeseball in me I guess.), and just about any other reasonable fascimile of a 4/4 beat. this past fall I put all my real focus into breakbeats and drum n bass. Mostly Drum n Bass. Fast, dancefloor DnB, and a couple experimental tunes here and there. Still can't afford to produce. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members devinw Posted July 8, 2002 Members Share Posted July 8, 2002 I got two 1200s and a Vestax. I reckon that makes me a DJ . I know how to use em' too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted July 8, 2002 Members Share Posted July 8, 2002 Originally posted by djphonics I know how to use em' too. No, that makes you a dj. Somebody with more money than musical inclination might get themselves 1200's and an 05, but they'll still sound like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members klubjunk Posted July 24, 2002 Members Share Posted July 24, 2002 I'm realI'm realI'm real woohooooo here's a dj question to sort out the pretenders.. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FORGOT YOUR HEADPHONES?! there is only 1 answer.if you don't get the answer, you loooooosseee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chris_chrys Posted July 24, 2002 Members Share Posted July 24, 2002 "WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FORGOT YOUR HEADPHONES?!" Well, one would put the moniter in the headhone socket and use that to mix, making sure that the sound doesn't leak on to the dancefloor, if that's not possible then send someone to your house to get the headphones, if that's not possible, find the nearest music shop (or shop with headphones), break in and steal a pair (making sure you leave the money for them). As for real DJ's, what is a real DJ, someone making five thousand a night or someone slapping his dick on a record to make a sound. I'm a Dj, I play progressive house, getting more into techno but play breaks and have some hip hop. I'm really into Turntablism and did my first beat juggle with progressive breaks yesterday. Bring on the DMC's.... I'm also trying to get into production but each time I use the programmes (sound forge and Acid loops on my pc) I end up trying to make something funny or cheesy and pathetic, haven't got past the effects stage. I'm going to do a music production course in october hopefully because it's really the only way to go if you love your music.

Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted July 24, 2002 Members Share Posted July 24, 2002 Aren't the pretenders the people that would forget their headphones? I guess you could use the monitors, but then depending on what mixer you're using, you might end up trying to match your beats listening to the monitors against the house speakers. I imagine that would take a little practice... Also, keeping that sound out of the house would be pretty impossible. Kind of a silly question if you ask me though... No real dj goes to anything even remotely resembling a gig without their headphones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chris_chrys Posted July 24, 2002 Members Share Posted July 24, 2002 You could also turn the music really low and hold a needle/pin loosely between the thumb and forefinger pressing it down lightly on the record and putting your ear right next to it and listening. don't worry though, you culd turn the music right up again once the mix is firmly in place and you can here it through the moniter. There'd be a bit of a problem though if you were to use CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious about what I need to get started making cool songs. a computer and a pair of speakers/headphones. At least for my definition of *making* music. and this is for the ones that "can´t afford to produce" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
