  • Mix Club - The Remedial Class

Mad_Cyril Panic and fiddle with the knobs a lot.

lol i love that. at the beginning it feels like both records are out of control and you’re trying to reign them in like horses dragging you in a carriage. the first time you really control a good mix and feel completely in command is pretty cool.

    If i was gonna give advice to my younger novice self, it would be don’t play boring records just because they work together. Just play a load of tunes you love and know them inside out. No one in the real world really gives a fuck about the perfect mix, although it is great when you perfectly mash two tunes together.

      mono-stereo Have fucked the prog idea off now I’ve got a bit of a method.

      Dont mind a listen every now and then but fucking boring to play

        Dubman Key Lock?

        Is that like a child lock that stops me scaring off the cats with the racket?

            Ah!

            Think I’ve heard that happen a few times. But only going up/down 3 or 4 bpms.

            So there’s a magic button that stops ikeychanging with tempo.

            Something to Google after dinner 👍

              I few bpm’s shouldn’t matter so much. There should be something on your software.

                verify this because i haven’t done this in a long while, but i think 2-3 bpm is ok and you get semitone shifts after that. could be wrong though, like i said.

                  mono-stereo outside of here, everyone thinks my shit mixes are the bollocks. I know they aren’t mind, but it’s a tough crowd in here and I think that’s a good thing.

                    …worth pointing out it can make tracks sound shitty if you push it too far, if you need to use it to key-match a track with more than +/- 4 difference on the pitch slider, consider choosing another track

                      Get this, and agree.

                      From my limited experience, pushing more than +/- 3 or 4 feels too much.

                        Found it.

                        There’s no button on the Fisher Price toys but it’s in the SW.

                        Going to just leave it on.

                          Dubman that’s the one i remember. the mixed in key software worked pretty well as i recall.

                            For people out there using a controller/laptop (I’m with Recordbox), what do you use to store your tunes?

                            Been organising today (raining) and dawns on me i might need to consider something else than just laptop HDD.

                            If I use an external drive could I get latency issues?

                              I play only lossless-files so my SSD hard drive is always full. So I only keep current-stuff on my laptop, the rest is on portable hard drives. Never tried playing with an external hard drive.

                                Confused HG. Thought you had an XDJ / Mixer / External source setup? Do you DJ off a laptop?

                                  I do both. Still use Traktor occasionally.
