DJ Equipment for the Entry level
dj_cityboy said:the mixer will probably be the most difficult part of the purchase unless you can find something "nice" for hella cheap...
Ha! I was actually going to say, that should be the easiest part given the basic needs at hand. I would just go to a second hand audio store and get any affordable, clean mixer. You just need something well-built with a fader and some capacity to tweak levels (i.e., basically any mixer). But go to an audio store and not a pawn shop so you're sure the condition is good.

Blak Forest - Just Wanna Be A Star (Beat Junkies Remix)
Been wanting to rip this for a looong time but this 12" was lost in the essence. Came across it the other night.

New Music / Release Thread
Duderonomy said:So I think Pablo has really held together well. What I find amazing about it is the musicality of it. It works as an album in spite of how many different combinations of producers come together on the different songs. He's like Quincy on Thriller on steroids.
Let me just say, in a revised preface to my earlier statement, that I wasn't trying to comparatively rank Quincy and Kanye here. The steroids bit had to do with Kanye's hyperness.
First, let me just say one thing: how DARE you interrupt my evening? *sniff*Wait a fucking minute, Imma have to interrupt you there. You're comparing Kanye with Quincy from an album made by other producers for Kanye to phone in some bullshit thoughts about gossip magazine headlines?
It sounds like you don't think Kanye does anything when he produces his music! That's cool. I dunno, I guess I still rate him as a musician.Surely Kanye is like James Lavelle getting Shadow to produce his vanity project. Quincy Jones did the legwork for MJ. But MJ brought a lot more to the table than Kanye.
ew. Never liked UNKLE stuff beyond some of the initial remixes, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO7YreRk6QAQuincy Jones did the legwork for MJ. But MJ brought a lot more to the table than Kanye.
Imma be real with you: I literally just assume that when Kanye puts out a song that he is credited as producer and artist, he has some significant creative influence on what the songs end up sounding like. He actually seems like the type of person who finely pours over details and is a bit of a dick about it.
I don't like some of the albums he's done over his career, but I think the collection of songs on Pablo are ahead of the game.
Like, for example, take the number of elements on Ultralight Beam, including what seems to be a lot of new instrumentation and multiple vocal contributors/lyricists. Those people aren't collaborating without some direction. Their creative contributions are being directed by someone with a vision for the song/performance. That's how I always thought of Quincy as a producer (I haven't seen any docs on him, just based on interviews/etc again)... like a movie director, almost.
I think there can be great musicians who work on the level of themselves doing (mostly) everything, save for some guest performances. But there are also those who are great because they have a grander vision and still manage to kill it.Or am I missing something here? Walk me through this and where exactly talent became paying for others to do the work.
