Also for some reason when I roll and take those my teeth never clench. Thats the best. ------------------ He channels the cosmos through the tables do not worship the shaman, but revere his music.

I agree the ganja is the shit it will always be there even after this ex thing blows over and on top of that its impossible to overdose on it the shit is safer than aspirin. I read somewhere to overdose on marijuana you would have to smoke something like 15,000 lbs in one hour. but you haven't smoked till you try BC Bud. ------------------ He channels the cosmos through the tables do not worship the shaman, but revere his music.

So you want to be a Rave star? This is not as difficult as it may seem. There's a simple guideline to follow, and you'll be on your way to cult status. Step 1, the music. Forget about talent. There's enough techno out there done exactly the way I'm going to explain that you'll soon realize that talent just gets in the way. All you need is the will to make some really loud, pounding music. Oh, and you'll need some cash. Step 2, the attitude. Get attitude, lot's of it. Know what's cool and what's not cool. Know exactly how many times a song can be played and how many people can buy a bands CD before it's no longer cool. Tell people you live for your music, you're an artist. Make sure everyone knows that the gear you use is the best. Know the lingo. Know the difference between Techno and Rave, between E and X, between carbo fuel and kool-ade, but don't worry about the difference between middle C and G. Call your synth an "axe" and refer to your MIDI hookup as your "rig". Whatever computer you use for your MIDI hookup is the best, remember that, tell others. Step 3, the equipment. You'll need some equipment, called "gear" by those who know. You can make some decent techno with a minimum setup. You'll need a multi-track tape player, like the Tascam 4 track decks. They're cheap, easy to use and effective. You'll need at least two keyboards. One should be a fairly old analog synth like the Prophet 5 (expensive) or old Roland synths. If you can't find or afford an analog synth with MIDI, you can cheat by getting a digital synth that makes good analog sounds, such as the DX-7, or Casio CZ series. But remember, real techno musicians use analog. Whatever you do, don't get a "Sample Player" keyboard like the Roland U-20. They have samples of real instruments. And you don't use real isntruments in techno. Next, you'll need a sampler. You can't make those easily recognized songs without a few samples mixed in. A good start would be the EMAX, if you can afford one. It also must have MIDI ports. Real musicians use MIDI, you must too. If you can't afford an EMAX, try a Roland S-50, or even an old Mirage. Stretch your dollars here, it'll be worth it. And, of course, you'll need a computer. But everyone already has this, so I'll cover what you'll need on the computer. Get a good MIDI board, like the Roland, Opcode, Passport, whatever you can afford. Don't rely on the Soundblaster Pro MIDI, though. No one uses those. And you'll need a sequencer program. MasterTracks Pro is the best. Now take a day or two to learn how to hook up the sampler, synth and 4 track to the computer. Hit the keys on the keyboard a few times to learn what sounds it makes. Have fun with it, you probably won't need to use the keys much after this. Learn your synth inside out. You'll need to know how to make it deliver sounds so bizzare, people will know it's techno by the third note. Spend some time with your sampler to learn how to edit simple sounds. You'll need this later. Step 4, your first song. OK, you have the gear, you have the attitude, you have some time to kill. Now for the music. A good skill to have is to be able to make the synth deliver really long, complicated step sounds. Having to enter only one note, and have it continute on to fill a whole measure is useful, and speeds the creative process. On to the sequencer. By now you'll know how to enter notes with the mouse and make the gear play them by playing the sequence. See, no need to hit the keys! Don't like a note, erase it. Think the measure should be played higher, move it up! Sounds too slow, just speed up the tempo. Easy, just as it should be. Now for a few rules. The tempo should be between 140 and 170 BPM, or Beats Per Minute for the layman. Real techno is around 150 BPM. Always keep the tempo an even number, like 140, so the DJ can easily mix your song in. Also, everything should be done in 4/4 time. The math is easier. And remember to make changes only at divisions of 4. Never break this rule. Someone might get confused on the dance floor, and twist their ankle or something. The drum track can be as simple as you want it to be, even a simple kick-snare-kick-snare. You know there's a lot of techno out there using this well known pattern. If you want to do your own drum track, try not to use standard drum samples. Spice it up a bit. Sample someone hitting a plate with a spatula, edit it and use it. Remember the rule, sample it, loop it. If you get bored with this, or just don't have the talent, find some old funk album, sample a clean drum pattern, and loop it. Now you have a professional sounding drum track. Yes, it's that easy. The body of the song is just as easy. Find some really grinding sound on your synth, test a few random notes till it sounds dancable, and repeat it 16 times. Now for the change. Just find another pattern of notes, and repeat that 8 or 16 time, then go back to the first pattern. You can get nearly a full minute of music using this simple idea. For a fuller sound, you can layer another odd sound over it, repating a note at every 2nd or 4th beat. Don't get too complicated, though. That's not what techno is about. Now for the samples. Watch some old movie that's on late at night on a cable channel you don't normally watch. Record it on a VCR. Play it back till you find some phrase or word you think is neat. Sample it. Repeat this till you have 3-4 samples. Now take these samples, and insert them at regular intervals in the music. If you have a sample played at the 3rd note in the 3rd measure, make sure to start it at the exact same place when the measure is played again. You don't want to confuse your audiance. And remember to never use real instruments. If you use any real instruments, they can only be included in samples, and should be edited to sound unlike the original sample. Now for a name. Here is where you can get original, but always stay within the bounds of techno-rave music names. For a band title, pick something technical that clicks. Try "Raster" or "Digi-Matic" or something like that. For the song title, you need two parts, the title, and the remix version. Even if you only have one version of your song, include a remix name. For example, you might use "N-CODE, D-CODE (Voltage Mix)". Try to sneak the words Rhythm, Beat, X, E, Insane, etc. into your title. But do not put the words techno or rave in. The reasons should be obvious. Step 5, the marketing. OK, you have your first song. Get the gear synced up, and record it to tape. If the 4-track version is finished, copy it to a normal tape deck, on a Type II tape, and get it to the public. How? Easy. Take it to your local techno DJ. Most DJ's have their own mixes available on tape. These are usually bootleg mixes of the popular stuff. Pay him to insert your song between 2 popular songs. This is best, since people will remember your song as being before or after one of their favorites. Make sure the tape has liner notes of the song and artist. This is so they can request the song by name at the local dance club. And get all your friends to request the song, so the DJ's will look for it, and when they finally find it at the record shop in the DJ-remix pile, they'll scramble for it. Afraid the DJ won't put your song on his remix? Don't worry about it, DJ's don't make much, and usually don't have high-paying jobs. Their bills are usually more substantial than their artistic integrity. Find their price, meet it. Get on tape. The hard part is getting your music onto a medium that the DJ can play. All DJ's spin records or CD's. Getting a song recorded to these is expensive, and usually requires a lot of copies. Again you'll need bribary. Find a record pressing plant as close as you can. Have your tape mastered and pressed onto a record. You'll need to get some con working to get about 10 copies of the master made, cheaply, of course. Promise them that if the quality is up to your artistic standards, you'll buy 1000 more. Don't put anything in writing, though. Take your copies, put them in sleeves, make homemade labels if you need to, but make the lettering look really cool. Don't include anymore information than the title, record RPM and BPM of the song. The less, the better. It's much easier to just give them to your bribed DJ friends than to try to get them into a record store, but do both if possible. If nothing else, it will add a little confustion to the owners of the store when someone buys them. You're set. Within a week, someone will play the song. If it's repetative, danceable, and kicks, they'll play it again, and again, as the masses stomp to the techno rhythms. Wait at least 2 months before you tell people it's your song. Make it seem like it's no big deal, that they play your stuff all the time. From here on, it's all gravy. You can take your new status as a local techno-god on the DJ remix tapes and played in all the best clubs, or you can expand on this idea, and go the limit. Con a small label company into a deal where they make nearly all the profit, but agree to buy you more gear, a lot of it. Stacks of gear. With more gear comes more attitude, more sounds. Still the same talent, but you know how to play the game. Soon you'll be cranking out dance tracks at high rates, and have remixes upon remixes. Now tour with Moby or The Prodigy. Tell people you know Praga Kahn and Flood personally. Remember, the system feeds itself. Rave on. p.s. I didn't write this so I'm not taking credit. ------------------ He channels the cosmos through the tables do not worship the shaman, but revere his music.

nope I have Stanton MK V and I think I might have messed them up I'm not sure could it be anything else? If it is the cardtridge what brand do you recommend?

Everytime I play a record on my 1200s on very high notes I get distortion. The vocals seem to waver back and forth. Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?

any one know where I can order this tune via web? or when its being released.

Has anyone ever partied anywhere in South America or Central America how was it what places were good and what cities, kind of music etc.

Its the beat it unifies each of us into our eternal bliss moment. There is no mind control only mind merging. Rave culture has reached a critical mass and those in power are truly frightened because there worst fears are being realized. An entire generation of financially powerful, intelligent, technologically and philosophically, superior youth. This is just the trickle that beckons the coming flood. Our world is changing if only you knew how much.

I'd rather have complete anarchy than some subhuman knuckledragger shooting me in the back and generally screwing w/ my life just because his insecure ego made him become a cop so he could coerce respect out of people. Anarchy? Maybe but think how many laws we actually need. I think this country would would be fine 100 laws and a lot less police. Wake up people DEA, ATF, FBI = Gestapo KGB SS Different name same goals.

how do you guys usually beat match by pressing the record or just by pitch control I like to cue it up on the first count and just throw it in usually if I do this right the adjustments I need to make are small.

fuck that half the time those asshole just want to get to lunch fast or don't wanna sit in traffic

that link isn't working maybe you spelled it wrong?

if you get good 5-htp you will peak real hard but you gotta order it. not that shit they sell you in GNC

vodka doubles all night

Ibiza rocks

What works for me is to get a tic tac case and put them in their since its hard to tell the difference this is good when your dispensing and they won't get crushed. Most clubs in MIA are cool w/ you dropping in the bathroom. The general rule is if security doesn't see it its not happening. Although it got kind of strict @ the Mix when they were going through alot of shit w/ the county I got booted just for having vicks. Most places are pretty slack though. On Miami Beach the place is crawling w/ cops (50 -100) in a square mile and you can still drop a roll right on Washington so there's no stress. Guess that's why we have the best parties.

I wouldn't trade my 1210s for anything. Anyways I heard vestax is mainly for turntablist (Q-bert) I think vestax is just paying these people to use their turntables like they did w/ invisible skratch piklz they all used to use technics now they all have vestax.

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh zombie nation

yeah man most raves in FL are garbage that's why they have clubs I guess. its even worse in the summer in Miami cuz any open outdoor areas are going to be infested with giant mosquitos and gnats

is it me or is everone some wealthy entrepreneur/banker/promoter/genius on this board. any normal people here? me, I just go to college and work a decent part time. it's not what you do its who you are some of the coolest people have crap jobs because working is not the focus of their life. work is mind numbing conformist institutional crap and it would do you some good to avoid it as much as possible. That is unless you're addicted to routine and conformity (many people are)
