  1. ragga twins are fuckin legends. i bet they had a real fucking laugh doing that video as well. i think its a great video given that dj battles have been played the fuck out since about 6-7 years ago. having said that if it generates interest for the youth then great, i'm all for it. although having been at the dmc world finals this year and seen just how damn lazy people have gotten with these custom vinyls and c2c hand gestures i dunno if its got much more milage left to be honest, it was like being at a disco reunion in 1991 or something.
  2. what you need to do is choose servers with a low lag, also make sure youre steam can update shit.. see you on the battlefield soon tho innit! hehe

  6. isms exist for marketing and sales purposes. the world is a bank. ignore, keep making music and being happy.
  7. this is in brighton? i wanted to reach the scratch bbq but couldnt in the end, my housemate dj clockwork said it was wicked.
  8. a lot of hot air about some really insignificant shit. how many people when actually djing in front of a large crowd fucking care about the feel of a faceplate.. let alone the fader, me as long as it cuts i'll cut a bit, if not, no harm done. people scrabbling for the last few scraps of money left in the dj equipment industry. sad

  14. i hear you (ppff sorry) no but really, the adams are harsh, i've never tried the dynaudio but i believe thats a good contender
  15. I have no idea but he claimed he had not signal running to them... why? btw, he said it was the power supply circuitry which burn out and not the amp well, if you have the audio connector coming direct from your pc interface, its dangerous, pc's can produce power spikes from time to time regardless of signals, so its reccomended to put a desk or something with a line in/out between your soundcard/interface and the monitors to act as a shield. not sure about the power supply fizzling, but if they did it simultaneosly its an external fault no? shitter for your friend, i hope he gets to the bottom of that, get him to put a surge blocker on the plug!
  16. i'm guessing he had them plugged straight out of his PC?
  17. personally i wouldnt want to use these for anything but mixing and basic mastering, the potential fuckeries that go on in scratch sessions i.e. pops, rumble and the sheer weight of signal from daisy chained mixers would really put me off. if you need loud get some 2nd hand mackie monitors or something like that, you'll get loud, bass (which these lack, hence i have a sub) also whoever told you not to mix with a sub? its half the fun of it, you just need to make sure your sub is at a flat level compared with the speakers, you can work that out either by using a sub unit with a line level output to your monitors.. or like me i got a sub box from a junkyard for a fiver and i just ran it out of the tape out of my little behringer desk and A/B'ed it with other tracks for a while until i got used to the balanced, i keep it pretty low just for the rumbles. fear not the sub bass!
  18. yes theyre powered. and i'm not sure if they do non powered TBH have a look at.. http://www.adam-audio.com/ to be honest i would always go for powered, because the amp is designed to match the speakers.
  19. hmm i had the same problem. best thing is get some heavy curtains up on the windows if you can, get 100mm rockwool boards from travis perkins and zip em up in mattress protectors or cover em in fabric and line your wall with em. (long thin nails to hold em up and hang a nice duvet cover cut open flat along it might do the trick.. also if your speakers arent on stands expect pure drama, its essential to get em on stands and fill the stands with sand, that will take care of a lot of structure borne sounds. what i did was recorded a sine sweep in my room, i had huge standing waves at around 400 hz, and the multiples, also another slightly less resonant one at about 480hz or so, i have since reduced this by moving my speakers away from the wall quite a bit and although i don't have stands myself yet, i have them on concrete and foam which has knocked out a lot of that. i had a rearrange in the room aswell, i.e. spread things out and its soaked up a lot of the sounds. hope that helps.
  20. Hey folks, i just bought myself a pair of these babys after hearing Blakey's ones last year and finally having the dough spare to get some of my own (yes there is money in the scratch game, thanks motorola!) anyway, I wanted to share this on DV because people seem to be taking their music more seriously in general and i think people here would benefit from speakers like this.. this is why. Firstly if you havent heard of adam, they are top end stuff, no nonsense speakers that are known for being ruthlessly clear, for some people too honest and "harsh" sounding for mixes. if thats the case go for a more squidgy sounding KRK or Genelecs or something. Personally i am really feeling the honest and clean sound field these things make. you can turn them up quite loud and really get a feel for the stereo field (have a listen to ediT's "certified air raid material" on these and get it in full 3d picturescope!) More than that, you can do sound mixes at a low level and still hear the detail, meaning you can work long sessions and not feel tired from having to struggle to "listen in" to your sound mix. I have some hearing damage and also tinnitus, so for me the cleanliness of the sound is paramount, so i'd say for the half deaf dj's out there, this is also a plus! p.s. WEAR EARPLUGS, it is NOT fun being able to hear a ringing tone louder than the band you are stood right next to! i digress.. so here's a picture.. sexy? well... almost, but they aint to be sniffed at, you can probably shock people with the sound they make if they dare to judge such magnificence! hehe to be honest you will not get a cheaper speaker of this qualiy, other brands at the same price seem to focus too much on style and branding. which is why these are perhaps lesser known in the home studio market. if you have the cash, do it and you will not regret it! info here. http://www.dv247.com/invt/35780/ RRP £540.00 (inc vat) (hint - there are a few places that sell them in singes for people who do surround mixes, i bought mine seperately over 2 months to save the old cashflow) Jim
  21. hmmm if you need a good solid, clear pair of good quality cans.. http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/dt-770/804 these dre ones are typically hiphop, they probably sound ok but you're paying for the image too..
  22. the sound is great for shiny beat production and the effects qre nasty. i reccomend
  23. Hi folks here is a preview of the next album, coming 27th July! blessings.. and enjoy! .. and Vinyl copies will be available yooo!
