I mean this shit always sounded pretty cornball to me. Let's be honest, it's out as tune as fuck. I recently went on a little mini tour filling in for Dubba Dutch with Dat Brass band (they're all proper trained musicians). I was pretty embarrassed when drunk trumpet came on by Kid Koala and they had to turn it off it was so out of tune. I know that to most people they don't care and the name 'drunk trumpet' obviously show Kid Koala knew it was out of tune. But still, it's sometimes humbling to hear what other people think of turntablism. My other friend who plays guitar and who once came to a Super Scratch Sunday couldn't stand it either. He was just like, "it's just a load of people taking it in turns to make a load of noise." I have to admit, I've had similar thoughts. You get the odd routine in turntablism that is pretty much the bees knees, but the majority of it is wack (I include myself in that list too ha)

Lots of cut n paste records have ultra pitch on one side and normal on the other no?

Saw this on Reddit so thought I'd give it a try. If I'm honest I just like making videos, tis fun!

I heard good things and bought some. Not actually tried them out yet though so can't help you too much

Nice one Mo. Makes me motivated to make some of the tutorial ideas I've got written down

We're not that far from photorealistic games are we?

Aren't they starting to roll out 5G soon though? The speeds that shit can achieve would be fast enough to handle the data as far as I can tell from my (limited) research. Time for Steve to swoop in and make me look a fool like normal.

Game changer

It's pretty funny reading that old thread. Love how they reference Erik's video too as "this guy" ha. I miss Erik and his tutorial, he needs to come back soon. Alas he may be another scratch casualty. Does anyone really do mirrored chirps? I've never bothered with em.

Nice! Looking forward to listening to this

Thanks, man! It's one of these bad boys: https://www.amazon.co.uk/R%C3%98DE-Swivel-Mount-Studio-Microphone/dp/B001D7UYBO It's not perfect as it's sort of sits where it wants to sit more than I'd like. What I ended up doing is clamping it to my shelf on the wall and then positioning my deck in the right position underneath it. Love the top down angle, makes the vid look much better as you can see both the fader and turntable easily.

Chaturbate?

Ah cool thanks man. Guess the autobahn is a weird one and I've never actually counted the notes as I'm doing it or even watching it back hmm I totally forgot about mirrored, can't even remember what my own definition for that is any more. I think you're probably referring to the 'slow autobahn'. I decided to not put that in, as I think it's more like a boomerang than an autobahn myself.

Thanks man! Taken me a long time to get all the shit and knowledge I needed to do that vid Hmm, yeah it doesn't seem like a chirp to me, more of a slice. Although I think I've heard the beat junkie call a slice a reverse chirp... So may be that's why. Man, it gets annoyingly complicated sometimes.

Prob not that advanced for most the peeps on here but I just like making videos, so here's my latest: Feedback welcome as always Word!

Wonder if it's as easy to smash up as it looks

More people need to do this!

My brother's a drummer and has an electric drum kit to practice as it pisses off the neighbours less. He's played around with a few different options over the years and the one he's landed on is Superior Drummer. I think it's basically just a plugin/sampler thing. It runs off his laptop anyway. He says he gets the most realistic sounds from it with all the versatility of having an electric drum kit.

Ya that's a really good shout J House!

LOL, tis true tis true.

Nice one lads, all good points for sure!

Not learning the basics rushing in to learning as many techniques as possible at once Not counting bars Not actually reacting to the beat, just doing the same scratches no matter the beat Not pausing, resting Thinking they are flaring when actually just transforming Not swinging/pitching scratches Always practicing scratching at the same tempo Not scratching with other djs Can you think of any other things you see a lot of beginner DJs do, or maybe did yourself?

I thought it was a great night. Lapalux - wasn't too impressed. I guess his music is kind of chilled out any way so doesn't transfer well to a live environment. He ended up playing a kind of housey set though which was weird, didn't recognise any thing by him. Was impressed with Dorian Concept's set. He obviously plays key live and they used camera to show his fingers playing everything. Was super cool and generally had a lot better tunes than Lapalux. Georgia Anne Muldrow was cool, she can really sing. It seems pretty in contrast to everything electronic that had come before though. Was more of a sort of traditional soul kind of vibe. Dudley Perkins came on and did a spiel "no more war" kind of bizz.... Was kind of lame lol. Thundercat - dope all round Flylo - amaze balls! really digging his new shit, it's kind of more electronic sounding again. He has taken a bit of Trap influence but put his Flylo spin on it all, it's cool. His 3D show thing was wicked too!

I am!
