DJs post your mixes for download

dude i was serious!! i like the full-fat versions always

when a dj cuts out the bass, what effect do they generally use? or do they just kill the low EQ (or whatever you call the knob with the word "low")?

They usually just kill the low EQ. There's more possibilites. Sometimes it's using a high pass filter. Some mixers have "kill" switches on each band of EQ. The latest/greatest pioneer has a switch so you can define if the EQ's lower the level of that band or cut it out altogether. And old-school house style and big systems often have a separate "isolater" with is like a master EQ for the crossover that can be used.

But usually they just kill the low EQ.

I tried killing the low eq on my software and it sounds like crap. Using filter sounds so much better. Must be the software, yes?

could be a virus

could be file compression, are you using lossless flac?

What software?

my set for radio cpr in dc from last night, twas live with nothing planned out no listing

well, not really crap, but it just makes the track sound thinner instead of just killing the bass and keeping the rest of the track intact. so I use filter sweep or this effect called adjust low instead. the program is mixmeister. the files are 320 kbps mp3.

you need monster cable dude

mixmeister looks like a genuinely awful piece of software from the screenshots I just looked up

haha, it's not the best software in the world but it's so easy to use. anyway, I'm getting a mixtrack pro controller with traktor and I just can't wait.

Traktor's mixing algorithms are pretty great, especially if you use lossless files.

It's not quite virgin vinyl through a 3000 dollar mixer great, but good enough for me.

mix of music touched by the hands of afraid sherwood -

Sounds great...and looking forward to part one!

Here's a real party starter...our first night doing Dazzle Ships at Bellwether, very low-key, a lot of ambient type stuff, nice background music. Some new wave, some techno. Some 80s Scott Walker. New place, using a Urei mixer, stuck behind the raw bar while people were finishing dinner, so not a lot of mixing of hi-nrg dance musics.

hey i forgot about this thread.

here's a long mix i did live on the radio, slightly edited for maximum me and minimum anything else.

sorry no setlist

dan i love your dazzle ships mix! i'd forgotten all about "we came in peace"... that brought a whole flood of memories back

dan i love your dazzle ships mix! i'd forgotten all about "we came in peace"... that brought a whole flood of memories back

Thanks. Jeremy played that, but I turned him onto it for what it's worth. My segment starts with Wall of Voodoo's Ring of Fire and ends with Marcel King's Reach for Love.

tranquility bass?!?

Yup

sweet, that was their pinnacle by a million light years

think it was "they came in peace" though

I think I like They Came in peace, Cantamilla and Mya Yadana equally. They were freely spread amongst many CD compilations of the time. Excursions in Ambience had Mya Yadana, , California Dreaming had Cantimilla and the first Headz had They Came in Peace.

first heard "they came in peace" on this ain't trip hop? and later on headz, which took a little bit for me to get ahold of at the time. i kinda stumbled on to "royalties overdue" in san diego but never could find any other mo'wax stuff until i went to berkeley.

I'm a super nostalgic person and it warms my heart to remember, vividly, the moments when "ambient techno" such as Excursions in Ambience, or a bit later Headz/Trip Hop were truly the most exciting and cutting edge things I knew of!

still is some of the most truly exciting and cutting edge stuff imo
