vixenfoxxy Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 OK I'm in a bit of a fix here -I need to put together a demo before I move to Europe so that I can hopefully land myself some regular-type gigs at clubs near where I'll be living. Only problem is, I don't have any way to record my sets.In DC, we had this place Metatrack Studios that offered DJ lessons, Production lessons and you could buy studio time to record demos.Does anyone know if there's a place around Long Island or New York that offers something like Metatracks? Any help is hugely appreciated 'cause I have to get this done before I move!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roha3000 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Save yourself some money, get an mp3 recorder or borrow a laptop and there you have your recording. Then talk to people who have sounforge and have them normalize and cut the tracks for you. Theres your demo. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heretic909 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I turned one of my bedrooms into a production studio, so I've got the gear to record a demo if you want: a pair of 1200s, dual cd player, 4-channel sampling mixer. The crossfader is a little scratchy, but you could bring your own mixer if you want. And I've got the software to insert track points so the cd isn't just one long track along with mastering software.email me at dracos@subsurfaceproductions.com if you're interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixenfoxxy Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 Originally posted by cesarleo Didn't you just start DJ'ing.......I remember you posting about looking for tables. I've been DJ'ing for longer than that. I started DJ'ing when I was down at school and I had access to a radio station studio where I would do my shows, and I went in there to spin a lot. I just moved back to NY for a while before going to Europe so I was looking for decks now that I'm no longer near the studio. Bassboy - I'm moving to Florence, Italy for 5 months - and touring around Europe while I'm over there 'cause I've never been before thanks everyone for your suggestions - Roha, I was thinking of installing all the stuff on my computer but my hard drive has only like 500 mg of space left on it and the average turtle runs faster... hence why I was hoping to find a studio. Heretic - I'll be in touch! Thanks!any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Shit I almost died.Voluntary or not I promise you that you will end up at least once,in Yab and SpaceElectronica.My advice, make friends with some locals, and they will take you to the techno parties that they have in the hills and away from the mobs of tourists. From your pics I don't think you're gonna have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your advice. BTW - are there any small lounge type places around there that I could spin at? I see that as being more my scene than the big tourist traps.Joe, you'll have to pardon my spelling errors - I was home for lunch break and typing furiously as possible lol. mg, mb... whatever... m + consonant, u know what i meant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's cool little lounges and decent clubs around there, I'll pack up and transfer to London if there aren't! For real though, tell me what the tourist traps are like - music? crowd? size? look? I need to know exactly how repulsed I'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Space Electronica they played Grease at 2am and the crowd started singing along.Nothing else needs to be said beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
