Hey LOUDNESS, Have you ever used Pro Tools???? Do you know what a sequencer is? Quantize??? Is that a new word you heard some producer mention when he was writing tracks. Let me explain a process for you. Live mix, gets recorded to a digital medium, ie: DAT(thats a digital audio tape), or into a DAW(thats a digital audio workstation.) Pro Tools would fall under the DAW aspect. Pro Tools allows you to edit audio, and used for Post Production. You can do many functions with Pro Tools that include, but are not limited to; editing parts(delete, double, mix, clean, and effect tracks)This is to help live mixes to be manipulated for timing purposes and quality, levels, overall mastering for the final CD. Pro Tools does also contain a track for MIDI, but in now way is considered a SEQUENCER. Sequencers are MIDI-based programs that are used in creating songs, Studio Vision, Cakewalk, Cuebase, Logic, just to name a few. Now Sequencers also have the ability to record and playback audio. BUT the biggest difference is that QUANTIZING is used for MIDI, you can align beats for example to the quater note (ie Kick drum) hi-hat to 16ths ie (Boom, da da da Boom da da da). I will not say this is the only way DJ's make CD's but this is widely-used process. I know you'll have a reply to this, so I say, just ask me any question you may have, and I will learn you your erraneous ways. - Peter [This message has been edited by schwingep (edited 08-12-2000).] [This message has been edited by schwingep (edited 08-12-2000).]

Okay, after having an amazing time at Vinyl last night Probably the best time I've had in I-don't-know-how-long. BTW it was the first time in 12 years I ever went to a club completly clean and sober(just a red bull and some protein shakes). It got me thinking of my most memorable club moments. 1. Ministry of Sound - Nov 15th, 1998 - My b-day. Mark Wilkenson, DJ. He built one of the most amazing sets, it kept building for hours. When I went to leave, shook his hand said thank-you, and then he hit me harder. I stayed until I had to board my flight home. 2. Closing of Palladium - Need I say anymore 3. The early 90's - but it's all pretty hazy to remember. 4. Liquid, Miami - Sept 18th, 1999 - VIP, Peter Rauhoffer, DJ, spinning his Club 69 set. It just rocked!!! 5. Vinyl - Aug 11, 2000 - because I was clean, and WILL remember it. Now that I rambled on, lets hear about yours! - Pete

velcrogugu??? OMG <JP's hard negative vibe is great if I wanted to OD on GHB. <snip> I prefer MD's along with my BA and CS degree while taking MDMA's, listening to KC and then popping some yellow #5's along with 714's, now thats a positive vibe - Dither

Ok Mr DJ Mac the "MissWhack" 1st - Newbie, I've been here for ages, but that was my 1st post 2nd - I challenge you to a battle!!!! Name the venue and the time, I'll be fashionable late while you can warm up the crowd for me so then I can step in, have you removed from the house that Pete built, and kick it into high gear!! We should have Club NYC sponsor this one!!! BTW I can't do Vinyl this weekend - Pete...Schwinge if you're nasty!

I'm very upset by this thread. Seriuosly, you guys just put me in a downer. This is what the trend in clubland has been over the past few years. Lots of anger and disrespect. When I see threads of people saying things like FU mutherfukker, I'll kick your ass because you like this DJ and not the one I like, it disturbs me. It's a negative thread, when clublife should be a positive feeling. Yes, everyone is allowed to boast and brag about their fav DJ, and remark about the ones they don't like. DJ's themsleves have had their own little wars. Let's not forget Junior kicking Danny out of "his" house. But when it comes to remarks that resemble threats, I'm appalled. I would much rather see everyone have a MATURE discussion on why they like or don't like a DJ. There used to be PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, for those who missed out)but that has disappeared just like the Palladium.
