Connect turntable to computer via sound card. Record via Audacity. Check levels, make sure needle is pristine, isolate deck if possible...mate had a rip of something he'd done where halfway through the recording had picked up a lorry driving past outside.

ah long, my laptop only has on board. Guess not only will i be using his timcode when i go around but also his monster of a pc!

He couldnt pass it off as the "warmth"?

Yeah. I mean the name doesn't matter, but at least make it something that
stands out like shxcxchcxsh.

is really easy man, it´s actually pronounced shxcxchcxsh!

HIP HOP UPDATE
Woah, Lil Wayne's new single sure is a vast improvement from "John".
Here's the chorus to "Believe Me"

I'm the only one that get the job done
I don't know a ****** that can cover for me
Yeah, got some game from my days
And she might say she love me, she don't love me like she say she love me
Believe me, believe me
I'm that ******, boy they love me in the streets
I'm not tryna find nobody else to beat
I'm the one they come to see because they all
Believe me

the whole time wondering how it's even possible that music like that can even be made.
one would imagine somewhere down the line an elbow would get nudged and an eyebrow raised.
the beat was this super slow unrhythmic pattern, with way too much open space, lots of dead air.
drake choking on his own unmemorable chorus, he sounded confused about even what he was singing about, like even the song he was making, he was writing, the sound of the way he spoke his own lyrics, gave me the impression that he did not understand what he was saying or why he was saying it. Lil Wayne clogging the verse with many dead echo's of rhyme schemes from yesteryear. I'm unmistaken though, the song makes no sense, exactly as you would expect it to. If any one has any information as to what this song is about, by all means, by any means necessary, let me know.

I don't know if anything can help those guys, I like the first Birdman album though.
and Nikki and I have the same birthday, her "monster" verse goes deep.

I don't know what else to say about Y.M.C.M.B.,

More of a G.O.O.D. Music & MMG Kinda Guy really

yeah they're awful

and yet i still enjoy this



i also love how in the video they all live together like they're characters in a childrens show

Would love to start a thread on this but dunno whether it would resonate:

Dubstep has ruined me for other music.

for a year or more, I've been going to a variety of electronic and live gigs in the absence of dubstep in Sydney
(last decent gig was Coki in March and I couldn't make it)
something to dance to or at least be excited by...techno, noise, drone...something
for example, this last weekend,
locals before Even Tuell's house were playing bass-inflected dance music thru nice speakers
and Russian Circles made loud, melodic noise thru a really nice Marshall stack
but, apart from a bit of a sway and head nod
nothing

it's not the loudness or the crowd
or even the weight
it's the addiction to dub + step

I was the same but then a mate persuaded me to go to a Rashad set with him and that changed it back to how it was

Scenism. Which, imo, is just oblivious hipsterism.

I think you must be now.

sd5 just needs some good techno in his life. listen to the latest Ben Ufo podcast and explain to me how you wouldn't dance to the second hour at least: right-click & save as...
or, to maybe transition a bit more smoothly from dubstep to techno, dive into the breaky stuff the livity sound guys are pushing: soundcloud
if you need it deeper... check this Wania mix on mixcloud.

and if all else fails, Jeff Mills will gladly be of assistance in order to set your head right again.
