  • If you're into Ricky Gervais, you should do a search on your favourite torrent site for 'Extras'. I duno if this has been aired over in the US yet, but its his and fellow Office writer, Stephen Merchant's new show. Its not as good as the office, b…
  • The Japanese version of UNKLE's "Psyence Fiction" also contains a hidden track/track zero: a collages of samples randomly stringed together.
  • Propellerheads' Rebirth. It's no longer in production so I guess this piece of software can be called "vintage"...
  • According to FXpansion, "Guru" is an "Advanced step sequencing, groove manipulation, sample editing, and beat slicing - an inspirational, all-in-one workstation." http://www.fxpansion.com/product-guru-main.php
  • $12 from Turntablelab: "Griffin Turntable Connection Adaptor with Grounding This useful adaptor lets you bypass the need for a mixer; and plug your turntable directly into a 3.5mm input which is found on most computers. The key feature here is th…
  • Native Instruments' Guitar Rig[/b], Battery2[/b] and Elektrik Piano[/b] Spectrasonics' Trilogy[/b] and Atmosphere[/b] Vintag[/b]e Warmer as mentioned in the above post. Supatrigga[/b] Arturia Moog Modular[/b] and Minimoog[/b]
  • I liked Elastica's first LP though. Hells yeah. Their first album was a complete Gary Numan rip-off but in a catchy way. Elastica was my shit too. Mainly because I got my head seriously kicked by some crowd surfer at their gig in Glastonbury 2000…
  • Cosign. The ad-hoc multiplayer modes of the game seem way off the hook. Gonna get it in the weekend...have to stick with Ridge Racer until then...
  • He's done a lot of great cover for vaious Material/Laswell/ParliFunk/DJ releases. did Rammellzee took care of covers of Material's early releases, 'cos those 90s stuff (which are similar to his style) were done by James Koehnline...Rammellzee's in…
  • thats some crazy shit ... Yes indeed. Watched this locally-produced documentary about the aftermath of Sino-Japanese war about the comfort women in China and Korea are still fighting for compensation. Gotta have mad respect for them.
  • You got me lost there...Why'd you wait for your name? Were you travelling with a group or something? Just wondering...
  • Of course. One look at those huge number of people at gala openings in Beijing and Shanghai screaming your names and shit will mess with your head undoubtedly.
  • Have you seen any of these Chinese divas in real persons? Damn I've seen Zhang and Gong in Pacific Place a few times and they exudes arrogance. They had their on at all times.
  • For real though. Zhang Zi-yi is not bad as far as a celebrity is concerned: she's a typical fodder for tabloid press. *edited to keep the objectification outta hurr
  • We are especially interested in tracking down stories that highlight international housing issues. You may wish to check out a Hong Kong flick produced in 1992 called "Lung Min" (Also known as "Cageman" in some VCD/DVD releases), about old folks liv…
  • Saw M Brecker with Herbie Hancock a year or two ago. He was with his rendition of Coltrane's Naima.
  • I don't. Because that's all i can do. Besides, there's more to DJ'ing in a club set than rocking doubles, cuttin' and skratchin'. You can adjust your eq's, head cocked sideways while cueing up records. Chain-smoking waiting for the song to finish,…

  • I was just using Reason as an example...it sounds alright if you make the beat in Reason only, but if you rewire it to a sequencer, it sounds awful. you can use chains of VST effects to fix it, but then, it's just a waste of CPU. just sayin'.
  • I reckon there is no hard decision on which one is better, at the end of the day, anything that you feel comfortable with is cool, be it MPC or Reason.
  • What kind of controllers are you all using? Working without some sort of keys or pads is a pain in the ass when working with software. For Ableton Live 5:
  • Yes. Trigger Finger is one great piece of MIDI controller (Played a gig two weeks ago in Taiwan using nothing but Trigger Finger, Live 5 hosting Battery 2 and Elektrik Piano and Reason 3). Much better than Akai's MPD16. I like it so much I am retir…
  • I wish I could have more space in my room for hardware drum machines...Alas, My fave (software) drum machine is this combo: Plus
  • In that case, I'm looking forward to your re-enactment of Edpower's suggestions. It's on, son!

  • Always go for the DJ'ing transition-friendly, crowd-pleasing fave: Played out unfunny joke aside, the Jackson 5 tune you dropped last time did the job perfectly. I think it could be done again this time. Do you need my Korg Es-1 for those explo…

  • Do it like superstar DJ Paul Oakenfield...slam the start/stop button on the running deck and let the music wind down, then slowly fade in your tune for that dramatic effect.

  • It may be due to the fact that Audition only supports VST EFFECTS[/b] and not VST INSTRUMENTS [/b]. As they are different things. You may wanna try some other sequencer software (such as Sony ACID or Ableton Live) that supports both VST EFX and In…
  • I presume your computer has the MIDI in-out port, right? Otherwise you may be better off with a USB-MIDI converter kinda thing (like M-Audio USB Uno or MOTU Fastlane) and connect to your computer like this:
  • I am not sure if Adobe Audition supports VST instruments. In any case, you will need a MIDI cable to connect your computer with the Yamaha keyboard.
  • fuck those Ibanez's. They made down-tuned power chords[/b] too easy.
  • Do you still have to haggling prices if you are buying stuff at Shamshuipo? Those custom-configured laptops are the cheapest laptop computers I have seen anywhere in the world. And yes. SSP is the spot to get PSP. As for sneakers...Mongkok is the s…
