Re: A good pair of headphones for all-round use?

as said, about 60 quid tops but could stretch that a bit.

some hd202's might do the trick to be fair, they don't look too bad. just looking for a nice clear sound, decent bass but not too muddy.

Re: DJs... What do you think of Ableton laptop DJs?

Fuck the critics.

At the end of the day if the people are having a good time and the sets fire, who the fuck cares if it's mixed on wax or software.

A good pair of headphones for all-round use?

Ez I'm looking for a pair of headphones which I will primarily use for listening to tunes, but also for production and mixing as well. I'm not looking to break the bank, so I'm looking at 60 quid tops, and could stretch that a bit if they are worth it. I'd kill for some HD25s but dollar is low atm. ...

Re: Confused about cables (Connecting amp/mixer to Laptop)

Yeah I get confused to what is actually an output or an input. Your right yeah, pretty sure it's output. I'm not sure there is the inputs on the back of the amp for RCA. To make things easier, here is the amplifier in question: 'Phones' output http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/7/2/6/0/5/0/webimg/290970...

Yeah, good point.

What's the difference between a power amplifier and an amplifier?

Like a pioneer 100w would cost £300-400 whilst a 100w Power Amp you can pickup for £50-70

I just got mine earlier today from decks.co.uk for 53 quid including postage. Ordered it 4pm yesterday, so I highly recommend decks if you want to buy it (cheapest price on the net as well). I've been out all day so I haven't had much time with it, but all I did was plug it in and it was working in ...

Question about synths & bass in Reason

Right I'm sure there is a simpler way of doing things with synth/basslines than the technique I'm using now of duplicating the synths and changing their rate: this way doesn't seem to 'flow' as much as the synths I hear in dubstep. I'm sure there is a way to change the rate etc. on just one synth wi...
