DJs post your mixes for download

this one was done on my old laptop, which has a program called atomix. I believe this was the precursor to what is now virtual DJ. funny enough, atomix cost me $90 when I got it, but virtual dj (a program w/a lot more features, and similar to traktor) is free!

yeah it has a siren now

your mix is great so far but it's def missing siren

damn what are the odds one of those jdilla tracks wouldn't deliver?

Why VirtualDJ ?
don't make the wrong choice
In the past few years, the DJing industry has seen computer DJing becomes the de-facto standard.
With Technics having closed its turntable division, and Pioneer trying to replace its CDJ players by USB controllers, long gone are the days where computer DJs were frown upon. Now it’s the DJs still using CD and vinyls who are laughed about.

miss the days when we were not frown upon

rip vinyls :(

who cares

the DJing industry

guys do you have dj names that you go by

MISTER
PRIME
MINISTER

not having a DJ name is like trick-or-treating or going to a halloween party without dressing up

I have like 10, which is p much like having none

i'm a huge dork about it too

i dont have a dj name

to be dorked out upon you must first dork out on yourself

there should be a word for the fleeting feeling of accomplishment you get after listening to an entire mix online

the afterglow

cochleation

or cochelation

detumescence

for catholics, procochleation is the only permissible reason to engage in hedphone sex

"hed phone sex" <-- such a great album, esp the 2disc us version

heheh wondered if someone would get that. might as well be you, v. def was a big one for me back when.

I know this might not be the "right" thread but it certainly seems to be the most active one, so:

I'm about to rip several hundred of my own CDs for use w/ Traktor; what bitrate is ideal if I anticipate maybe someday playing them in a club? I'm torn btwn LAME V2 and V0 -- is anyone really going to notice the diff btwn the two?

And a follow-up: is EAC still the best ripper out there? I haven't done this in like 5 years.

320

just use itunes

if you're playing the *big room* at fabric you need wavs or flacs but otherwise ime doesn't matter

I've seen people use 224 vbr and even 192 in clubs for rips of scratchy-ass old detroit techno rarities

isn't 320 sorta overkill when v0 achieve essentially the same thing in a smaller filesize?

Also I've had bad experiences ripping w/ iTunes :-/

i don't know if 320 is overkill but it seems to be defacto standard

320 sounds *slightly* better to me than 256 and not any worse than 1411 wav so that's what i use

I don't really know the nerdy technical specifications and all that, but I prefer to have 320 if at all possible.

it just seems to be a sweet spot to my ears

i'm tots fine with 192.

I was about to ask almost the same question as Stevie on another thread. For files I already have on my hard drive I'll play em in Traktor down to 192 but new stuff I'll always rip at 320. but I was curious whether most people use iTunes to encode or something different. I saw someone on a forum saying that using LAME to encode instead of iTunes made more of a quality difference than the bitrate but tbh I don't even know what LAME or EAC is, just a separate piece of software you get? anyone else think this makes a difference?

I used to mainly DJ vinyl but lately I've been doing a bar gig that goes about 6 hours, usually by myself ... so have been leaning on Traktor more and more ... usually play about half vinyl, half mp3s.

if you're ripping to v0 or 320, i very much doubt it matters what codec you use.

anyway:
eac
lame
hydrogenaudio forums/knowledgebase

i can provide a 'recommended' eac config file if u want

awesome, thanks. yeah I may email you to follow up

Most everything of mine goes through iTunes, unless I digitize into Performer, then I save it as a WAV then use Max to convert to 196 or 320 depending on my mood and how much of a banger it is!

i spins pure bangers

320 or die

my tracks bang harder 320 and bang softly at 192

320 is plenty

isn't 320 sorta overkill when v0 achieve essentially the same thing in a smaller filesize?

fwiw some people say Traktor acts funny with VBR files. like it might have trouble beatgridding or calculating BPMs. I don't have enough VBR files to confirm or deny this.

true!!
