dope. i do want a cdx or two. would definatley have to try cuts on it though. i recall reading that FS mimics scratching EXACTLY. it almost does

scratching over a beat is good thing. doing the one deck mixing is good too!!! and fs runs on windows (no need for linux) i am gonna get my ass to cookies in tunstall and have a go on one of them cdx's. if they perform good, then i may buy one. reckon the price will drop soon?

the cdx's look superior. but you can scoop a final scratch for a couple of hundred notes on ebay now. i haven't tried a cdx, so i can't really comment on one yet!!!!

on a cdx can you let one tune play, while you scratch on another?

yeh key correction i know you can buy turntables that do it, but you can buy one magic box called final scratch that does that and so much more!!!!

sigma try that shit out and let me know if it's a goer

for 500 notes, fs is the budget option. and for straight mixing it is dope. the pitch thing is awesome. i didnt know it did that. i'm am seriously tempted to buy one and hook it to my pc

you should be ok.

yeh, the sound would go kinda funny when you whipped the record back fast. almost like the sound of when you " search " or " skip " on a cd. most cuts were ok. tears were ok. these problems were less apparent with a higher kb file. ie one recorded at 320kb was better than one rec'd at 192kb. that makes sense. dubse7en said there is a new fs coming out, that is firewire instead of usb, and should be even better. it aint without its teeny flaws, but the +'s far outweigh them.

cool.

i think so. if the router has NAT. (which i guess it must) mine does, and that masks my ip from the outside therefore making me unsusceptable to attack. before i was using the router, i was hacked constantly. like in the time it took me to download the firewall, i got a virus. now i have router, and no firewall running, i don't get any viri. and it's one less thing to wait for when the pc is starting up.

here's a couple of loop players i have created. if you haven't got them already get them here: loop playa 2 - clown beats some geezer named clown appears to be dab hand at providing beats. i looped up 5 of them. i recommend beat 3 . . . . .:. loop player 2 .:. loop playa 4 - j5 + cube + james first 3 beats are J5's. the other 2 are cube's natural born killaz, and the godfather of soul's funky drummer .:. loop player 4 .:. both of these are flash executables, and are about 1.5mb in size. get em while the getting's good . . .

here's the track i made one friday a couple of weeks back when i phoned in sick. .:. sick track .:.

this new board is dope. now i have got me head around the navigation (albeit simple) i am liking it a lot. its the best new board since, um, dv1 . . .

last night i finally got to have a go on final scratch. it really is an awesome piece of kit. the good things being (obviously) the wide range of tunes you can use. but it was the pitch control that got me. the way that you can either speed up / slow down the tune as normal, OR pitch up and pitch down. that is dope. and you can use it with one turntable - cut a track in, leave it playing in final scratch whilst having assigned the next track to the turntable ready to cut in. its a dope piece of kit, it really is. very impressed.

if anyone has it, i'd love a copy of " blood ". a doomesque game i used to play back in 96. prolly looks wanky now, but at the time i was well into it!

i dont use any software firewall at all. my router seems to block stuff ( or at least i dont know about anything creeping in )

i have 2 pc's. an old amd900, that my good lady uses for her college stuff. then upstairs in the attic i got the beast. a p4 2.8 thats hooked up to all my equipment. both are connected to NTL broadband via a router. if you are in the market for a router, ebay has an abundance of the smeggers, for about 20-25 quid a pop

of course. the d/l 'd version will serve merely as a "backup"
