  1. this is really pissing me off now. i saved a giff off the net and for some reason it doesnt fooking move when i open it from my desktop. with every other gif i have ever saved from the net it moves but for some reason this one doesnt! so i tried resizing it in photoshop but it still doesnt bloody move!!!!

     

    help!!!

     

    What firewall are you using?

  2. The key correction function will NOT work with Serato. There are a number of conflicting factors that will tell you this. NO audio from the turntable is directly played when using apps like SSL. In effect, the turntable is a dumb controller.

     

    SSL relies upon the interpretation of a pre-determined signal, which is written to the vinyl. It 'knows' what this signal is, and calculates changes based upon what it observes, compared to what the signal ought to be. As far as it (SSL) is concerned, the only parameter that you are modifying is the rate of revolution -be it by pitch control or manual manipulation. Modifying other parameters WILL cause SSL to behave abnormallly. Feeding SSL a time-coded signal that has been key corrected will almost certainly cause unexpected and unpredictable results.

     

    Having said all this, using SSL will allow for much better key correction results than realtime techniques, which tend to sound nasty and ring-modulated. You can run your files through an app like soundforge beforehand and key-correct anything you like until you're happy.

     

    Basically, if you own SSL you can do whatever the fuck you like with whatever the fuck you like, which is why you'll get no sympathy from me you minted bastard

     

    Yes, the keylock will not work *with* SSL's mp3s, but it will work with a real record, if you use the thru function of the SSL box. But given that the TTX's keylock only works when the Line output is selected on the TTX, you have to have 4 line inputs on your mixer.

  3. No, your keylock will work if you connect it the way you do.

     

    Remember the SSL is also designed to be used with CD players, so the box will accept a line-level signal. The thru connections will pass through whatever signal you feed into it originally.

     

    BUT

     

    Also remember that the Scratch amp will spit out the computer's output as a line-level signal, so if you want to send a line level through, you have to use a mixer with 4 line inputs. eg this won't work on Vestax mixers (only 2 channel, input switchable from Phono to Line)

  4. Those pics are old though (from 2004), which is quite interesting, because Apple has actually released products very similar to those.

     

    Like the USB key things- Apple eventually released the Shuffle.

    And the smaller capacity / smaller size iPods = the nano.

  5. I use Crucial for all my RAM needs. They are consistently well rated, and have good customer service. I always like buying direct from the manufacturerif I have the chance.

    A US judge has stopped sales of a 1994 album by Notorious BIG after a jury said it used part of a tune by funk band Ohio Players without permission.
    And from another article

     

    The jury at the court in Nashville, Tenn. on Friday awarded $4.2 million US in damages to the two music companies that own the rights to the recording of the 1992 song Singing in the Morning by the Ohio Players.

     

    Shiiit, I don't know who produced the song in question, but sampling a song from 2 years ago and releasing it smacks of something like Puff Daddy would do.

  7. Yeah, you can multitrack record on a P3 667 with 512MB RAM easy (my old set-up)! I used to run Cool Edit Pro, with the onboard sound, no probs at all.

     

    So a P3 700 will be cool too. Just get more RAM, do a fresh install of XP , I'd probably wouldn't even bother with up-to-date GFX drivers if all you want to do is record with it. Just get stable drivers.

     

    As for recording with SSL - you'd most likely need another PC to record to. Run SSL from your main PC / laptop and just record into your old P3.

  8. Oh man, I saw this Venturer mp3 player in the display cabinet they have in Argos. It looked like it was the size of a normal desktop hard-drive! Not a laptop HDD, a desktop one. It was frickin huge!

     

    Still, it wouldn't be bad as a in-home mp3 jukebox. And as Liam said, it would probably be easy to swap out the hard disk.

  9. Yeah well, fuck, it's all fine and good for people who paid attention the first time around, and either got it or gave up. What about those of us who didn't get it, or didn't give a fuck then?

     

    It's just another scratch I wanted to learn, cos I felt like it, and I think scratching is still fun to do from time to time. And what better way to keep up the fun factor but to learn a new combo.

     

    And to set the record straight, it looks like I got it down now, so I'll shut the fuck up about it, if it'll make everyone happy.

  10. FUCKING CLICK!!!!!

     

    Yeah, I got it now. OK, here's how it is for me...

     

    The name "delayed 2 click" is a perfect description. You are actually delaying the placement of the 2 clicks. The 2 clicks themselves are performed like a normal 2 click flare, it's just that there is a space between the pairs of clicks. This corraborates with Ryan's desciption that it's the rhythm being tapped out on the fader.

     

    Vekked's description of it being just a bunch of transforms isn't too far off either. When this scratch first came out, people were calling it a 2-click delayed flare which threw me, because I was still placing the clicks in the middle of the record pull/push. Now I see people have omitted the 'flare' from the name, which is correct. IT IS NOT A FLARE.

     

    You need to do two sets of 2 clicks for a complete delayed 2 click, so the above posted transcription is one correct way of doing a delayed 2 click. There are other ways you can start it, but I now see that this transcription is what muzzell does on his video.

     

    It's not a chirp at the start, because at the end of the first record pull back, you have to close the fader again. It helps to think of this part as a transform. So it's almost like doing a complete chirp, then closing the fader and doing a forward transform.

     

    There is a total of 6 sounds in a complete delayed 2 click orbit, which includes 4 clicks of the fader total, and 3 record pushes + 3 pulls. A normal 2 click flare orbit also has 6 sounds and 4 fader clicks, but there is only one record push and one record pull.

     

     

     

     

     

    ....so am I right?

  11. OK, it's starting to come together now. I've seen that trasncription before, but it always looked like a chirp to me. But with muzzells and ryans descriptions it's slowly beginning to make a bit more sense.

     

    Off to the lab I go - I'll probably be back for more help, cos I'm thick with shit like this sometimes.

  12. Fuck it, I can't get this down either.

     

    Saint's explanation sounds like a chirp to me.

     

    And muzzell's explanation...

     

    Its babys all the time with a 2clicker

     

    Count a beat for each baby, do a click on 2 and 3

     

    123 123 123 123

     

    Fbf Bfb Fbf Bfb

     

     

     

    Its a hard skratch to get down.

     

    When you can do it - Accent your record hand giving you more dynamics

     

    ... I don't understand, even with the video. To me, muzzell's explanation sounds like a chirp-flare.

     

    Can anyone else help me out?
