Dubman Had another great day just picking random records of a shelf and mixing them in with not a care in the world.
vinnyt77 303abuser I think the last time I saw a DJ whose phasing and mixing really blew me away was Ian Ossia, about 5-6 years ago. I think it’s partly the music of today - it just doesn’t seem to lend itself to mindblowing transitions in the way that records of 15-20 years ago did. At the same time though, it’s SO easy to be an ‘adequate’ technical DJ using modern tools and trickery, that a whole generation of DJs just don’t seem to have the knack of putting records together in a spellbinding way…
303abuser vinnyt77 all good points. i think it’s a much different skill set than it was when everyone played records, i know it wasn’t the same for me.
Along_the_Wire Changing the tempo settings to +/- 6 is a massive game changer for me - who knew?! Thanks @Amps. No drifting and was much easier and quicker getting things beatmatched properly - one positive I suppose is that it properly kept me on my toes before.
Amps Along_the_Wire Changing the tempo settings to +/- 6 is a massive game changer for me - who knew?! Thanks @Amps. No worries. If you stick at it, you should have a moment where it all becomes second nature, like driving a car, you won’t even think about it, thats when you can start really having fun.
Smallman1 Saw Ian Ossia at the last ever Renaissance at The Cross. He played b2b with Nigel Dawson all night and they were absolutely brilliant.
Along_the_Wire Unbroken1 Also, and bizarrely, the colour when you have +/- 6 looks like some kind of warning that you’ve got it wrong.
Mad_Cyril Along_the_Wire we’re literally living the dream, MC Constantly pushing the envelope Grant 👊
Along_the_Wire I’ve been mixing a lot yesterday and today. I honestly can’t believe the effect of the tempo settings. It’s so much more reliable and consistent - so much more enjoyable.
Mad_Cyril Had grand ideas about a mix that meanders from about 110 through to 124 ish. Today just mixed between 118 & 124. Was liberating. Not what I want to do but probably a good way to learn.
Mad_Cyril Along_the_Wire I know mate. Have to rinse the fuck out of it to get the palestines to listen
