  • DJ setups/Mixer porn/New toys thread...

Wasily I wish I could give you an answer to that, but I’m normally staggering about in the remedial thread.

It’s all about the flanger for me anyway…

    Jules72 No Jules! I’ve tried with Ableton but its pretty time consuming and funnily I found the warping better in MM than Ableton 10. With the upgrade to Catalina/ Big Sur, 32 bit programs are no longer supported and I think MM are not updating their product despite assurances to the contrary. What I’ve ended up doing is using MM on a PC to plan out mixes, and if I’m happy with them, I’ll then put it on to Ableton, add a few FX if necessary, a limiter on the master channel and export from there as I find the mixes sound better than MM. What I loved about MM is how you could just run through the transitions in various mixes to see if they worked- I could listen to about 5 transitions a minute when deciding what track to mix in which you just can’t do on any other similar platform IMO.

        I don’t know how you can get the offer, but I got an e-mail from Magix for Soundforge 14 for 39.90. My mix editing finally got easier. Been using Audacity, which is fine, but slow as fuck.

        Look around for that if you’re not using Ableton. It’s a great fucking program for editing mixes.

          Crikey Grant, they’re all cheating!

          Sat there giving us sage advice but editing all their mixes so they’re immaculate!!

          Along_the_Wire just split WAVs together (I record in 24 bit wav, so max length is 2 hours and 4 minutes), normalize the volume, clip the emptiness from start and end, because I may push record before starting, and likewise not stop it the second the last track ends. Sound Forge Audio 14 comes with an easy to use mastering tool, so will give a shot at that next.

              So you create a mix on the software like Ableton where you don’t have to actually play through the tunes?

                Along_the_Wire no no no, I meant edit their recordings on Ableton. Or just record with it, while mixing on actual decks. I record my mixes with an old Tascam Dr-1. Never even bothered to learn how to record internally with Traktor, that baby works so well.

                Then take it to Sound Forge (or Audacity previously) to do the splicing and editing the levels etc.
