dissonance

man, I LOVED the original game! I'll have to check this out!

word!

Chile, you wanna slide a brother that Max MSP synth you made? This sounds amazing, btw!

big up, man!

I rock a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2008, as well. 8GB of memory.

http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackC400.html I'm looking at other, less expensive US audio interface options for my MacBook setup. I was gonna get a refurbed Apogee inteface, but that fucker's still 350.00 US. What are people's thoughts/experience with this unit? Seems alright, and I've liked M-Audio's stuff in the past.

Although, Christie can be an asshole too. She's banned "That Kid Named Cee" from all US events because she didn't like his opinion of how the US DMCs were being run.

I've been considering learning how to add LEDs and then doing this mod for folks. Swapping out the RCA cables is pretty standard and not too difficult.

I don't hate you, Jad. I've just got an opinion about this.

I gather that he's sending approved styles of music; nuggets of breaks/drums/synth tones; or loops of shit....meeting the end user's desires...or else he doesn't get paid. I think the aforementioned analogy of painting by numbers is very apropos. after considering this a bit more - if you're hitting buttons...you're not dj'ing anymore. I might go as far as saying that if you're not playing records..."Blam!!! You're not dj'ing." fair play.

just cause I don't follow it...or give a shit, doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it. at this point....your participation can't fuck up the DMCs anymore than they already are.... enjoy the money.

yeah...the baseball theme is lame as fuck. I hadn't seen that someone else had integrated the Dicer, cleanly, into 1200s before. Dude on that thread looks like he does quality work. I don't even have 1200s anymore. Sold my last one about a year ago. And I don't really have any use for the Dicer since I don't really goof around with any of that new technology. Shit, if I even had a DVS setup, I can't imagine learning cue point mapping and all of that stuff. I'd simply want it to play digital audio alone, no frills. But, I do appreciate custom fabrication and a nice paint job.

I think you're helping folks take shortcuts. And your post in the DMC prediction thread is proof positive.

I wonder what kind of loot they charged him for all of this. Integrating the Dicer into the 1200 is a really nice touch.

Right, I might not notice that someone helped them put together their set. As already addressed here, that was certainly the case with the X-ecutioners, and quite possibly with the Scratch Perverts and C2C. I think there's a vast difference between one of your boys, or someone in your crew, lending you a hand or even brainstroming with you on some ideas...or, shit...the whole fucking routine, and what you do. You have folks paying you to do what should be their work. And yes, I've stopped watching, or frankly...even giving a shit about the DMCs. Because of what I consider to be DJ laziness and homoginized sounding routines. Its been like this since I saw the Boston regionals in 2004.

I'm of the position that designing and sourcing the material for the routine is a PRIME aspect of the competition. You get paid to do this for people. Its very plain and simple, Le Jad. And just because there isn't a method to police folks from not having others do this for you, doesn't mean that its not an issue and it should just be forgotten.

Fucking EXACTLY! Like I said before, this whole shit is fucking clown shoes! Basically, this whole discussion is moot given the irrelevance of the DMCs now. This is why they're doing that bullshit online competition which is really tantamount to a, dick waving, popularity contest from high school. Paying someone to craft your routine is a shortcut, plain and simple. Its cheating as far as I'm concerned. And this means that Le Jad facilitates cheating.

I'm with Steve on this. if this is supposed to be an actual dj'ing competition....then sourcing your sounds and designing the routine are paramount because that's what dj'ing is. If you're paying someone to do either of those tasks for you, i'm of the opinion you just skipped two of the central aspects of the art.

on principle, fuck this guy for his moniker, alone. Asap Rocky? too much like Aesop Rock.

I think I might have to give this a go....just been lazy since I have other options.

In the northeast, Moombah and Trap seem to be blowing the fuck up. Entire Moombah themed parties....every single "dj" booked at the show's playing a moombah set. I just can't get down.

https://soundcloud.com/frydae/live-below-the-mason-dixon an example of such.

Have any of you guys heard of Moombahton? There's a pretty big movement on the East Coast of the US with this shit, right now. Frankly, I'm all fucking set.

Tupac = Caput

well...that's what they get for supporting those bullshit internet laws the US government is working on: Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA)
