Re: (313) Digital Djing

could not agree more with Benoit.
very good points. the selection process is what makes or breaks the DJ.
bad selection, kills a mood, and this is easy to do when frustrated by 
not being able to remember what tracks sound like. this happens with me 
on accasion, when using FS2.
for the very reasons Benoit has raised. saturation of music. quantity 
not quality etc...


and thanks Peter. a simple solution to the problem i have with FS2. 
i'll have a go at this filing method. and persevere with FS2 till i

Hi all,

A very interesting discussion. Much had been said about it, so i`ll
try to keep it short. My solution to this problem is inspired on a
discussion that was held on this list before. There was a discussion
about how to sort your records. This is essentially the same
discussion. At that time someone came up with the idea of sorting your
records in chronological order.

So that is what I did when I was configuring Traktor. I made a folder
for each month. In a folder I store the tracks that are new to me in
that month. I found this the easiest way to recall the location of the
tracks. It works way better than a long list and you can still sort
them by bpm per folder. (Which is not really necessary since you can
get the tracks to play in their original key when pitched up or down.)

Interesting points have been raised here. Actually I think cover 
artwork

is the easiest way to remind a track for a vinyl collector.

When i raised the 1000+ records in my collection, i still could (by
seeing a record artwork or listening to it) remember by heart the name
of EPs, label cat, and most of the time the titles of the highlight
tracks. This was in the early 2000s. For example, at that time the 
funny

thing i could do is associate this kindof info with almost the full
tracklisting of a Jeff Mills DJ set heard at the radio or in a party.

Now i have raised the 2000+ records, and as labels are opening and
closing so fast, most of these new records i get are from different
labels (which was not the case some years ago, when there were fewer 
and

bigger labels representing at least 3/4 of the records i bought). At
that point the memory trick is just impossible anymor,e though i still
know at least the artist name and the label of what i have.

Sorry for these long words, but I think my personnal situation shows
something more general : electronic music has completely bursted in 
term

of quantity of good labels and producers. And digital download + file
sharing makes you able to have 2000+ records in one month, while it 
took

me 10 years to buy them on vinyl. Which leads to the fact that now
people own many tracks, and got them so fast that they hardly remember
them. Then it is impossible to remind everyhting very clearly.

Thats why associating a picture with sounds eases the memory thing, 
and
that the picture/record browsing can make you think to a track you 
would

not have thought to.

The track selection process has evolved. Digital DJs have so many 
files

that they can forget to play the 'good' record, and at the same time
constrain themselves to the files they know they will work and they 
can
access easily. The 'old school' DJs has to make two selections : 
first,

what he brings in his flycase, second, what he plays in a party among
this first selection. To me, above the Djing technique, this selection
constraint was the most important thing to appreciate a DJ in a party,
and digital DJing has removed that.

Cover browsing would partly solve that problem IMO.

i have used Final Scratch 2 for the past 2 years, to some success. 
however, i am still not able to play a proper, balls out set with it. 
not because the tunes are not there, but because:-

1. the sound quality is not an iota on vinyl
2. i agree with senor Francis on the covers thing. much easier to pick 
and choose in the heat of the moment, through sight of and feel of the 
vinyl and covers.
3. although much lighter and much less fuss than vinyl, i love vinyl 
and FS2 has not given me any better alternative.


having said that, it does allow me to play new stuff that i, or flat 
mate, has written that afternoon. and not dub plate it. so in that 
respect, it is a useful tool


sorry, but same old argument... vinyl rules

When I first read this I thought yes I'm sure that's absolutely 
right.
But then I thought a little bit more and I'm not sure it's the whole 
answer.
What I think looking at covers (real or virtual) gives me is some 
information / association that I can absorb very quickly and use

to make a decision on what to play next.
It's not the only way you could do that though - i.e. I don't just 
want to do it this way because it's what I'm used to.  I can
think of other things.  In fact the covers thing would not be as 
good as a gadget that quickly previewed in the headphones how a
load of alternative tracks would sound mixing out of the one playing.  
But of course there wouldn't be enough time to do this with

too many tracks - what I was saying about accessing the info quickly.
So let's imagine some other wonder gadget that did a different version 
of covers.  How about a jack that plugged into your head
and gave you a millisecond flash of how a track made you feel?  OK 
I'm being silly now but maybe you get my drift.


And the funny thing is even though I don't DJ with a PC (yet) I know 
what people mean when they talk about not being grabbed by a
list of file names.  Sadly I keep a log (not always up to date or 
accurate) of the records I buy.  Just a clipboard with a few A4
sheets with the 12/LP names pencilled on.  I started this about 15 
years ago when I only had 3 or 4 hundred records and wanted a
way to quickly look through them.  I've kept it up and it isn't a big 
deal to do - just a few words every week or two when I've been
to the shop a couple of times (there's no way I could start it from 
scratch now, it would be too big a job, I'd like to switch to a
database with more details on but it would take winning the lottery 
and employing someone to transcribe).  But the point is although
I keep this up, as it's easy, it's never really served its purpose: 
sitting down at the kitchen table with a list of all the records
I have and being able to quickly skim down to select a boxful to take 
out.  It just doesn't sink in and your eyes slip over a title
without really taking in what it means.  I still end up on my hands 
and knees crawling around my record shelves actually looking at

them because only then do I really see (=hear?) them.

So although I agree it's partly about making new digital forms act 
like old analogue ones by aping their physical aspect, it's also

a psychological one about how we absorb information.

Phew! (good job I'm off on holiday for 3 weeks on Friday as that's

im not sure i agree. i used punk as an example of people throwing out
the previous rules and inventing a style without anything new, but
really house and techno to a large degree were like that as well. if
you count straight up house and techno records, youre talking about
1984 at the earliest and by then they were using the discarded
worthless synths and drum machines that had been used and abandoned
by pop music already. ditto with the creation of hiphop, they were
using old technology (record players had been pretty standard for many
years and 8 tracks and cassettes and reel tape had all sprung up as
competition for it) and just breaking the old rules of what counted as
music. even reggae and dub was more about misuse of something more
standard: a slightly different shuffle with an absuive use of echo and
reverb (both of which had existed for years before reggae took it over
the top). also, id contest the idea of jungle being something new.
surely it was great, but it was more of a combination of what had
already been happening with techno and house music and combining it
with hiphop. the style and some techniques may have been different,
but the equipment was largely the same. i know ive recently seen a pic
of a guy called gerald's studio circa 93 or so and it was all the
classic house and techno drum machines and synths plus and mpc60 and
an amiga.

obviously the electric guitar and the synthesizer changed music and
alot of ideas about music, but not every major change can be tied to a
new tool!

Re: (313) Most Cherished 313 Vinyl.

2007-04-28 Thread Ben Thompson
My most cherished piece of vinyl is:-

Equinox - Chapter 1 on retroactive cad004. Some wicked tunes on there, and
rare as rocking horse ***t
My favourite bits musicaly are :-
Kenny Larkin - Metaphor lp and loop 2 [12]
And the d'arcangelo brothers did a 12 in the mid ninties on out of orbit
that is the best techno I had heard at the time. It has stuck with me as one
of the best tunes of the time. It didn't get a lot of play though. So it was
lost, and I cannot remember the name, or can I find it in my massive
collectiondam.
Oh...and LA SYNTHESIS - AGROPHOBIA

 It's Friday, and I'm curious.
 
 What would you cats consider your most prized piece of 313-related
 vinyl?
 
 For me, if you'd care to know, it would have to be Dan Curtin's
 Silicon
 Dawn LP.  I remember someone from DEEP records turning me on to that
 release, and from there I just started eating up anything with a
 similar

Passion is prominent. And there ain't nuthin wrong with it. Whatever colour
or 'oppressed culture', you may be a part of!
Music as a whole, transcends the race issue, the political issue and the
issue of who's right and who's wrong! The fact that we ALL, at some point in
our lives, find change difficult, is all to obvious.
I have a mental image of the most passioned people on this list. But no-one
else. I think I'm pretty dam close too.
We need people like you guys to keep the world turning. Or else those of us
who can't get to grips with standing still, would have no-one to call a mate
in our home towns.

it was all about the music:-

 I don't know about all that. Even though I've seen tom push his opinion
 a lot further than most would like (including me on occasion). I think
 some peoples reaction to his comments on this subject in particular are
 more a product of knee jerk reaction (here comes tom) than any kind of
 comments in his first post. Like JT already said, it was a rather
 informative observation. It was also a question which he's asked twice
 and so far (excluding pm's) I believe I'm the only one to respond to
 that part of it instead of mocking the observation. It's been obvious to
 me (in the course of this thread alone) that no one even attempted a
 serious response to his question (which could've sparked more
 intelligent convo). I think I'd get a little defensive too if I asked a
 completely valid question and all I got was a bunch of jokes and yeah
 right's and there HE goes type replies. And on the subject of the
 Detroit artists dodging tom, I know for a fact that more than a few
 prominent Detroit artists happen to feel the same way about this years
 fest (some are playing anyway) but public forums aren't their thing. So
 my reply to Tom's original question (which every reply so far has
 artfully dodged in favour of lighthearted humour or derision)which never
 made it to the list for some reason is included below.

 My original reply:
 
 -Tom Asked:
 does anyone now feel like maybe those concerned initially back in the
 day were well founded?
 
 
 Any black person in the united states (post colonial)that has concerns
 regarding oppression/culture thievery/marginalization is well founded.
 This is not a Detroit affliction. It's an imperialist affliction and the
 actions observed can be justifiably understood to speak to that specific
 mentality (in small or large part). In short, I've always felt they were
 well founded. Carl (et al)'s gotta be saying, 2006 and shxxt still
 ain't changed. 
 
 
 I'd go just for Rob Hood to be honest, but I can't bring myself to
 support something I don't believe in, strictly for the sake of hedonism.
 I hope all the rest of you have a ball (cause the current state of the
 fest can swing on mine).
