does anyone know whether files on a Mac are compatible with PCs and vice versa? my music college use Macs but at home i have a PC and i'll need to regularly transfer my work between home and college.

earlier i was gettin down double speed 1 click flares (i think). would they count as 2 click flares or not? i was doin 1 click forward, 1 back but real quick.

cant seem to find a list of online record stores anywhere on the forum so here goes. 3Beat Records - breaks, drum n bass, house, techno 12 Inch - house, garage, techno, hip hop, breaks etc Bid-4-Tunes - a dance music version of ebay. Bigapple Records - UK garage, house, drum n bass. also has dj mixes Chemical Records - great site. covers all genres. decent sized audio clips aswell Dance Vinyl Finder - the name speaks for itself really Drum n Bass Arena - the most comprehensive drum n bass site in the world Deck Maniacs - mostly house DMS Wax - breaks, electro, house, trance, down tempo Dogs On Acid - another great d n b site. covers all aspects Fat City - hip hop, beats, soul, r&b Future Beat Music - house, techno, tech house, electro, breaks, hip hop. good size audio clips aswell. Gemm - every record ever conceived....EVER Hard-To-Find Vinyl - not to be confused with HTFR. has a variety of house and trance, plus some breaks HTFR - all genres. quite pricey Input Records - all genres of dance music Intense Records - drum n bass specialists Jet Set Records - a Japenese record store that sells anything from rock to reggae Juno - loads of dance genres here. the site is a little dull though! Kaizen Records - purely drum n bass Listen-Records - breaks, house, prog, trance Picadilly Records - everything from kraut rock to electronica Red Eye Records - in my opinion, the best online d n b store. superb service aswell Re-Load Records - drum n bass/jungle RecordsDirect - absolutly loadsa dance genres. even stocks something called "pumpin house" Rootdown Records - purely hip hop, with a pinch of funk 45's Scenario Records - mostly hip hop, but covers other genres and products too Ultimate Dance Music - funky house, garage, "urban", hip hop. also stock dj equipment. UK Dance Records - lots of trance and house UK Drum n Bass - specialists is classic drum and bass, not many tunes but some real rare classics, also plenty of soundfiles UK House Records - uber house. Vinyl Grooves - "the home of house"....apparently Vinyl Searcher.com - breaks, hardcore/rave, garage, soul - plenty here to keep you amused lets see if we can get this pinned. i'll add more later.

i hear computers can be left running for literally years. as for me, my computer goes on and off as and when i use it. i don't normally leave it on if im not using it

my experience with FruityLoops wasn't good. frankly i think it's piss poor. in my opinion, if your serious about producing music on your PC and you want good results go for Reason

nice. good lookin Sigma.

i just use phono-to-phono. XLR's can't be that much can they? i believe XLR's are earthed and they run the audio signal through 3 pins thus reducing interference

they'll have a field day with The Grey Album

im on MSN but essentially they're all the same

SoundClick the basic package is totally free

i'll give it a go. how long do you want it to be?

i can't get the audio to work... it wont connect

you could wait for Xbox2 to come out but how much will that cost? £300 odd i expect. at £99 you can't go wrong and the Xbox is gonna be good for another couple of years at least (i.e. while you wait for Xbox2 to drop it's price!)

literally every day. cant remember the last time i went a whole day without touching my decks at least once - even if it was only for a quick cut or mix

bwah ha ha ha!! check the guy hiding behind his cushion! his mate screams like a bitch

in my opinion the Xbox is the better bet over the PS2. it has better graphics, a huge hard drive, there's no need to buy a multi-tap, Halo 2!, better DVD player than the PS2. however, you can get some games on the PS2 and not the Xbox such as Pro Evolution and GTA (i think). also, you need to buy a remote to watch DVD's on the Xbox - damn Microsoft...

+ can't believe i've still got that SK6...

i spin hip-hop, drum n bass and im starting to get into breaks aswell. also, classic stuff like the police, hendix, dylan etc is always nice to just listen and relax to. it's always good to play a variety of genres. in my opinion purism is bollocks.

ha ha ha! i love those BBC samples at the beginning! i like it. the brass melody is cool and the vocal samples are well chosen and they work well with the rest of the track. nicely produced as well. is the brass part a sample or your own creation? i'd love an insterumental of that to scratch to myself! the only criticism i have is that the intro may be a little too long considering the length of the entire track.

jus heard - BBC news hail Doom 3 as the most violent computer game ever....

yeah, good work G. just out of interest what program did you use for the cd design? i've done some cd designing myself for my media A-Levels and i used Corel Draw. however, it was basic cos i was mostly arranging photo's and text on a template rather than designing graphics.

me too

starwing and mario world on the SNES. they fuckin ruled!!

nice. that tune doesn't sound that dark n heavy at all.

you can do multi-tracking without a computer if your willing to spend a little ££. you can pick up a multi-track pretty cheap these days. this may help - http://studio-central.com/multi_track_recorders.htm
