I use serato fs out on the odd occasion when I play out, as does my
quite a few of my friends. When I do see people using a digital dj setup
these days, I mostly see them using serato fs.

I haven't had any hassles with it crashing on me (yet). The latest
version has key correction (finally) and the beat looping is getting
there, although no where as tight as ableton or traktor.

The two main gripes I've had with it is:

1. crawling around in the dark in a dj booth trying to get it all setup
while another dj is playing without disturbing
2. sh*tty decks which are completely out of alignment, and make it
*really* hard to get serato synced up nicely. This has only happened to
me once and probably would've been less of a problem if I'd brought my
own needles. Lesson learnt (shouldn't learnt that one years ago with
normal vinyl).

>  Who have you seen on the circuit using these systems ??

I've seen A-Trak, Mix Master Mike (although he used it with CD decks),
Common's DJ (not sure of his name) and Diplo using it out amongst others.

You can do that now with serato fs. Its a really great feature when
you've got a crap deck or a deck that's too close to a speaker stack
without decent sound proofing.

Thanks for the software advice

2007-05-02 Thread David Powers

If you really think your mixes sound too tight - have you considered
building in some slight drift into your cue points? The cue points
don't HAVE to be exactly lined up after all... ;-) With old tracks I
find there's some natural variation anyway, cus the master is off of
tape or something...

  The rigidity of software - as it beat locks everything makes for a very

MARCO PASSARANI (Pigna / Nature / Peacefrog - Rome)

@ 483 Hackney Road, London, E2 9ED (w/Funktion 1 sound). 
Admission: £8 adv. via [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 07967 332 964 / £10 on the door

SUBSTANCE - Exclusive debut LIVE performance 

Instrumental in the development of the sound of the legendary Basic Channel 
off-shoot, Chain Reaction, Pete Kuschnereit's recordings as Substance have in 
turn helped shape Berlin's rich heritage in modern electronic music; a heritage 
which more than 10 years on is resonating throughout today's musical landscape 
stronger than ever before. 

Despite being an in-demand DJ and remixer, continuing to man the counter at 
Berlin's Hardwax record store and promoters and party goers worldwide still 
clambering for a taste of the live Scion experience, Pete along with Scion 
partner Vainquer (a.k.a. Rene Lowe) recently found time to resurrect their 
production partnership. Launching a new label, Scion Versions, both new and 
archive material from the Chain Reaction vaults are planned and things have 
kicked off in typically fine style thanks to the first two releases, 
'Surface/Immersion' and the current 'Reverberation/Reverberate'. During the 
course of 2006 Substance also dropped what we believe to be some of the finest 
remixes of recent years in the form of his 2 contrasting reworks of Monolake's 
'Alaska'. 

In his various guises, Pete is no stranger to OC parties and, having previously 
both DJ'ed and performed the 'Arrange And Process Basic Channel' project as 
part of Scion, by now he knows what makes you all tick and knowing Pete he'll 
take pleasure in incorporating this knowledge into his battleplan. 

MARCO PASSARANI 

With a career spanning 2 decades, producer, remixer, DJ, label & distribution 
company boss (Nature & Pigna and Final Frontier respectively), Marco Passarani 
is truly worthy of his worldwide reputation for being THE pivotal presence 
within the Italian techno/electronica scene. His studio legacy, which covers 
the breadth of the techno and electronica spectrum, boasts a list of 
productions that is stronger and longer than some of that bog-roll that gets 
caught up 'round one of those insufferably cute puppies! Marco's work has 
graced a stellar array of labels including Rephlex, Skam, Clone, Generator, 
Hymen and an album deal with stalwart UK imprint, Peacefrog which has so far 
brought us the rather fantastic 'Sullen Look' LP and the promise of more 
material to come. In the meantime, with his ongoing Analogue Finger Prints 
project and as part of Pigna People, Marco has be turning out 1st class 
dancefloor material fusing the influence of Detroit techno, electro-funk and 
the time-honoured sound of Italian disco to extremely potent effect - Most 
recently delivering an ass-shakingly good Pigna People remix for Bounce's 12" 
on Glasgow imprint, Wireblock/PointOne. 

Marco was recently overheard light-heartedly describing his Djing as the 
pursuit of sweat... But in all seriousness, add to that aching feet and a 
contented grin and previous experience tells us that's exactly what those 
congregated will be left with come dawn... Man gonna make you dance! 

JAMIE STEERE 

An excellent DJ in his own right, long term friend of the OC-fold, Jamie will 
no doubt be dropping an immaculate selection of sounds inspired by Chicago, 
Berlin & Detroit along with anything else he decides to treat us to. Having 
first collaborated with Jamie some 7 years ago, OC thoroughly look forward to 
his long overdue return and advise ya'll to arrive early so ya don't miss 
out... 


Lastly AND, in this case, 'leastly', The Outlet DJ Crew will kick things of 
with the usual spiked cocktail of techno, house, disco and whatever else they 
can get away with spinning... 

Wouldn't be the same without ya's!

 Recent reports via the THL . have voted Serato before FS, and even
 placed miss pinky on the table as a strong contender for Digital/Vinyl

 There also seem to be several new interfaces with scratch platter on
 the market ..

 Since it's been a while (i think?) .. has anyone got any updates/info
 on some of these systems .. reliability ? functionality ?

 Who have you seen on the circuit using these systems ??

  ..

 The essential function I am looking for is the ability to cue a 
digital track
 .. pitch adjust it into the mix using a turntable .. then release the 
track

 from the turntable and then start the process on a new track.

 Basically .. providing the ability to do multi deck mixing using only 
one

 turntable as a control device.

 I know that Cycling 74 & Ableton are getting into bed, so this may make
 miss pinky an excellent companion for working with Ableton.

 Essentially .. it would be nice to run an Ableton set with a 
turntable as

 a pitch control / play back direction device.

 I love playing tunes/loops via Ableton .. but I really miss the Dj 
interface

 for stopping / rewinding & pitching the mix.

 The rigidity of software - as it beat locks everything makes for a very
