New Mix Up For Download

<< < (3/3)

KharBevNor:
I actually downloaded that traktor thing off a torrent to have a go. How do you get the monitor up?

The industrial mixes I've downloaded so far (From Razorgrrrl) aren't really doing it for me. I'll try the other guy. I kinda want someone who might play, say, Push! by The Invincible Spirit, then Black Death by :Wumpscut:, then tangentially wander in to the extended mix of 'Mitternacht' by E Nomine before sending everyone scurrying to cover with an Alien Sex Fiend dub remix or an old Anne Clark track or something before finishing off with the full version of The Bomb. I literally dream of dancing in a club to that track.

Since you've done some production stuff, I'm assuming you know that monitor refers to a sound output as opposed to a visual display. :)

Depends on your soundcard. If you have a 5.1 card (or you're using your onboard 5.1, if you have a relatively recent mainboard), you can go into Preferences and assign monitor left and right to rear left and right, then just plug your headphones into the rear out port. That's how I do it. There's heaps of other ways to do it.

Traktor is really powerful, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Version 3 and higher has some incredibly funky features, including the fact that the software emulates a Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer, and some really nicely done effects. You'll need a MIDI controller with lots of knobs and sliders to get the most out of it though.

I personally try and avoid using all the features, just to keep it a bit more real, as it were. There's nothing worse than getting on a club system and realising that you can't mix well because you haven't practised without some complicated tempo-shuffling button.

i'm not really into electronica and stuff, but i really like this mix. i can't say why, though.

More stuff Khar, perhaps more to your liking.  Try Digital Gunfire. http://digitalgunfire.com/, they have a more of the sound you've mentioned, as do Detroit Industrial Underground http://www.detroitindustrial.org/.

There's also The Miss Jinny Show.  http://www.missjinny.com/playlists.htm.  Autoclav 1.1, FLA, Unter Null and Funker Vogt have all been played.

DJ Morgana has a pretty extensive list of sets for stream or download too, something like ten years worth so there should be something there for pretty much anyone into this sort of thing.  And no, it's not a snobbery thing with Apop, they make really nice club tracks, or they did anyway.  It's exactly what you said though, they get played too much.  A lot like going to a club night here and always having to listen to Everyday is Hallowe'en.  Great song, just heard it too many times.

KharBevNor:
I suppose this is one advantage of living in a cultural vacuum. I don't consider tracks like Every Day is Halloween, This Corrosion and She's In Parties to be overplayed, more 'never played'. Go to an 'alternative' night round these parts and you're fucking lucky if they even play Marilyn Manson. And when I was talking about snobbery, I was more implying that the DJ there wasn't a snob, he'd just literally never heard of fucking Covenant.

I'll give those other DJs a wizz when I get back to my Halls of Residence.
