I saw the string cheese incident 2 nights in Tokyo.. Amazing!

ddddaaaamn that musta been an awesome weekend! only seen them one time....Rothbury 2009....best show of the festival though IMO

that would be way cool, more samples i get my paws on the better

get ableton and a controller! you could later on get serato and some tables but ableton imo is the easiest way to start. the launchpad is funnnnnn

Someone fucking feel me on this Pleez.

seen this man spin 6 times and every time he tops the last. pure audiophile, last night he droped the pixies, a wu tang instramental, an mf doom verse, a missy elliot track, and countless other shit that i cant remember off the top. i get the feeling the UK ...

You can get a lot of cool glitchy effects by getting in there with your scissors and chopping manually (like in the olden days). Chop, duplicate, halve the length, duplicate, halve again etc. Taking a single measure and timestretching it out to a bar also sounds pretty good.


Play around really ...

trying to get some vocals out of a rap song, minimal drums so that will be easy to EQ out but i was just wondering what are some tips and some tricks for sick sampling. i like it glitchy and nasty what effects? oh yeah and i use ableton 8, probably just throw the mp3 into simpler and go from there ...

good inspiration is always so nice!
just transported into the grimiest, nastiest, most funkalicious moodular i've been in....in aaaaaages.
all from a 5 minute track
FreQNasty vs. Propa Tingz.......Peacemaker (DUB)
just thought i'd throw this out there, shit, it gave me a huge boost of creativity ...

have you seen bassnectar play live?

No, but I heard he isn't very good...talks too much and just stops the music a lot. I could care less about what other people use as long as they are rocking it. I just can't get into a groove when a set is primarily pre-planned and nothing is going on except ...

I'm a freakin n00b, I'll have to learn the old fashioned way: by making human sacrifices to the gods.

Ouch! please dont!

been messin around with ableton's compression presets a little, seem to be working pretty well, but if you're sayin ouch, what would you recommend? whats shitty with the presets or what needs changed?

any way i can get the sample pack downloaded another way? i dont have internet at home but do at work...and the site is blocked at work....soon of a! i wanna slay it down ha

Its awesome. In some senses, it changes the “sport”…whereas one of the GOALS used to be beatmatching, that is now pretty irrelevant. And its sad, if your sport was showing off how wonderfully you can beat match, because that has really become obsolete. Although i can beat match as instantaneously ...

Vinyl and acetates only aside from dubs I didn't get cut yet, then it's serato or cd for those few tunes. Most people I've seen use abelton don't play it like a live pa. It's all prebuilt playlists with the tracks "warped" and auto beatmatched perfectly (no headphones needed) then just a controller ...

been making tunes for over a year now using mostly ableton...never learned anything on compression yet...so i'm a newb on this one...hints/tricks/reading material/examples any help would be great...THANKS!

Does anyone have any useful advice on preparing a set list? I run ableton 8 with an Akai MPD32 for my knob controls and a novation launchpad. I've currently got all my tunes in different ableton files that i work on. What is the best way to consolidate everything to play a full set?

Just thinking about Sub:mission this weekend in Denver. Skream, Caspa, MAH...two nights! And now i'm thinking of Bassnectar throwin it down on Halloween night. WTF! Now im estatic!!!
