Stryke you got high heels - go see Pratty for a gig at Skynet.

... and by the way, I had people coming up to me during Domz set asking why the PA was cutting out... Not a PA expert **doh** Sound Engineer Please can we get some help here, it appears the compressor can't handle shit here and the promoter wants to punch you out.

You can have a bit of a cheap shot at me for the stuff i play, but not the way i play it. The levels were all at 12 on the eq which is the most you ever should do on a pioneer djm600. The sound system at Soda is really good but definately needs a bit of a tweak by the experts. Im no expert on PA's but i know how to operate a mixer. but can you operate a food processor ?

Sounds not ready.

I can operate a mix'n'blen dats it....

QUOTE (Benzaah @ Feb 14 2005, 01:13 PM) Dex set up like that still suck balls  Is it really too hard for you to move your arm about 8 inches? Makes fuck all difference when really only the pitch control is your only concern

I'm pretty much of the same feeling as Benzaah where turntables are concerned. I can do it if I must, but will never volunteer to do so.

It's not really about moving your arm the 8 inches, it's about being asked- made, even- to do something in a disorientating way, aside from potentially having to hang your arm over the record and even the tonearm if your mixing style is to 'ride' the pitch sliders.

I doubt many people would drive their car so well if the accelerator became a lever that moved from left to right. Sure, they could drive, but it would take some getting used to and would in the most part never be as comfortable. Not the best analogy, but not a million miles from the mark...

i will agree it is slightly easier to play with the decks the right way round, but if you did notice the amount of space there ben, it is impossible to have the decks in the normal postion.

wish i was here from alll reports, but was busy getting mashed in melbourne lol.

Oh come on man, you can't be serious?!

I respect your talent and everything, but if you are disorientated by having a deck sideways and the pitch in a different position...well man...that's wack!

sideways decks are harder to use, particularly for newbies

however, djs should be used to playing on them that way coz sometimes there just isnt enough room

yeah that's the way I've got em at home - not enough room otherwise... no big deal to reach across the arm... haven't knocked them yet,, could see it happening maybe if I was bouncing around a whole bunch but otherwise... I think the only position it would be hard to mix in is if they were upside-down...

The first set I played out was at Soda, and it wasn't all that long ago - i'm definitely a newbie DJ.

I (and Nathan) handled it alright. So have all the people in the DJ Comp.

I can't believe people get given a sets, then bitch about the decks being sideways. Pffft, turn it up ya fucking sooks!

i'm with james on this. it shouldn't make any difference which way the decks are set up. if you are having problems with the decks set up like that you really shouldn't be playing out.

personally i didn't really pay a lot of attention to dom and roland's set, the music didn't interest me a great deal. spent the whole time playing pool.

big up andy for his set earlier in the night. on point mate.

big up e-theory as well for his set, fucking rocking. nice one mate.

i thought Jeff Mills might've spazzed out in Nov @ Traffic coz one of his three decks had to go sideways but i dont think he even blinked twice

actually i dont think he blinked at all during his whole set

ive got a theory that hes an or at least a

Makes it harder to ride the pitch IMO

I dont like the decks sideways if it can be helped.

Easy for your sleeve to catch the tone arm. Its happened to me at the cumby

Er- I did actually say "I CAN do it if I must", you know. Disorientated, yes. Beaten, no. It's not like I'd refuse to play or anything like that; it's far from a big deal. Just that unless there ARE space issues I'm going to put them the right way round- if you're not a turntablist (which I'm clearly not) there's no point them being configured any other way than that which the manufacturers intended.

EDIT: On a loosely related topic, I hear many a DJ complain about the side of the decks that their monitor is on, and that they have a 'mixing' ear and a 'headphone' ear. Worse yet, some do noticably suffer as a result. Personally I find this ludicrous- as long the monitor is not directly in front of me, which does happen on occasion, I'm fine with woleva. But so many people tell me this I'm almost led to think I'm the unusual one because it doesn't bother me. Another example of disorientation and that to which you are accustomed...

And you'll notice I didn't say you couldn't

Hey, if y'all are thrown by that sort of caper - fair enough.

I'm just saying I dont think it's a big deal, and I think it's VERY rich of Benzaah who hasn't played out in Adelaide a big deal to rubbish the setup and sound of a club where he just played.

If you have general concerns, I dunno - I woulda thought the ettiquette would to be to raise them with the right people in the right manner. Not bitching on RA.

sif!! what the hell else are we here for?!!

Love ya talking it up James like your an old timer on the 1's and 2's.
You only been mixing for about 6 weeks or there abouts

You "not saying I couldn't" is neither here nor there. I know I can do it. My objection was to the sweeping dismissal of anyone who does anything other than hit the ground running when faced with such things.

6 weeks?

2 years mate.

Im just saying I think it's easy. Shit...excuse me.

Stamina: It wasn't a sweeping dismissal, I'm just saying I reckon he shouldn't whinge about something so trivial. Especially when you've only just started playing out.

Well spank my arse and call me Charlie

blah blah blah

Stamina - I like your avatar.

I woulda said that 'whinging about trivial things' could ONLY tolerably be done when one has just started playing out. Surely the more experience you have, the less cause (and even less 'right') one has to 'whinge'?

Fair call.

My point of view is that when you're first being given sets you should shut up, thank the promoter, and not crap on about how you thought the set up sucks dogs balls.

that's a fair point

I make that a fair call too, in retrospect.

Now let's all hug

ben had one post with only one sentence on the deck setup, the crapping on has followed.

the main critisism in his post was of the sound system and it was obvious that it wasn't running well on saturday night. and pratty has said he's getting it looked at

get over it guys

...says the person who posts after it HAS been 'gotten over'. Horse, stable door... any clues...?

ahh fucking dial-up connection

@ tim.

good timing mate.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway!

This was a really good show, as you know i'm not a fully fledged DnB head but I enjoyed the tunes and had a good night.

It's good that people are trying to pick up the slack after Traffic closed - keep getting out there and SUPPORTING the shows guys!

Boh and shit
