Re: [313] dodgy mixing
I'm confused about this supposed dodgy mixing by the UR DJs. Not that I heard and saw. Also, the post 5-am shutdown was completely in line with the entire presentation UR did. The point is, they show up, they do their thing, then they're gone. This is not a standard presentation and not supposed to be. If that offends, so be it, but I know that UR have their reasons for doing things... phred
Re: [313] dodgy mixing
My mail about dodgy mixing was not directly related to the UR DJ's or UR party, it was just a general impression I have after 10 years of visiting parties and listening to tapes and mixes. Also, Ken Ishii was just an example I gave. When I saw him, way back in 97, just when he had started earning a (well deserved) name as producer, he just couldn't mix. The fact that he has become a good DJ now (would be sad if he hadn't after three years...) does not change the point I was trying to make: great producers often start DJ'ing to make good money just when they are not ready to give a good DJ performance. It is their right to capitalize on their producing success, but I feel ripped-off when some big name turns out to be a crappy DJ, and sadly it happens all the time.

Re: [313] dodgy mixing
i agree, a crossfader is good for tricks but channel faders are very accurate while mixing two or three records. of course tweaking the eq is the other essential element. (a good ear and solid beat matching help provide the smoothness of the mix too). djr From: darw_n [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [313] dodgy mixing Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:51:57 -0800 wait, are we talking about using levels vs. cross faders?

He might have been desperately listening, but I just want to point out that there are DJ's that listen to nothing but headphones. Yeah, me included... I find it pointless to do one ear mixing when you can switch between channels within the headphones. Some people find mixing in the headphones difficult... Everyone does it differently... I know ppl that just use the channel faders and not the crossfader to mix... Nick (Dj Pacific:) __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/

RE: [313] dodgy mixing
Big respect to the likes of Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Laurent Garnier and some others who truly know what DJ'ing is all about, and for most of the others, please put together a decent live show and leave the decks to those who know! --- Hehehe, 'to those who know', nice pun o stuffed one! ;-) Speak soon!

he was still desperately listening to his headphones (with both ears...) He might have been desperately listening, but I just want to point out that there are DJ's that listen to nothing but headphones. When I play, I try to turn the monitor waay down and use it only as a EQ reference, and do all mixing with three tables through headphones, where you have the master out playing at all in the phones times while matching, I've done this for years... It's different I know, but just letting you know that this is done, and done very well with some... darw_n create, demonstrate, toneshift... search for djdarwin on napster www.sphereproductions.com www.mannequinodd.com www.mp3.com/darw_n
