I too am a DJ and had a difficult time understanding all the tech stuff. I used to use a Tascam Porta 7. I was looking into getting a digital 8-track, but I realized that my money was better spent on getting a computer. I got together w/some knowledgeable buddies and basically built the...

I'm no expert but, in reply to a recent post of mine, somebody suggested updating the driver. I just updated it and am able to lower the latency to 2ms @44.1 (according to the window that pops up in the M-Audio control panel when you change the settings). I haven't actually done a test run yet...

I'm running an AMD 1.2GHz, 512 MB Ram, and an Audiophile 24/96. I'm new to computer-based recording and I just began playing around w/n-track. I'm experimenting w/the "Live" function (w/no effects). There's a lag b/t what I play on my turntable and what I hear through my monitor. It's...

Check out Wav Corrector: http://www.wavecor.co.uk/. In order for CD burners to correctly burn a continous mix, the wav files need to be in specified increments. I forget the details but Wav Corrector will only allow you to split a long track in the requisite increments. I recently broke down...

I use Nero. I've used it to burn some mixes which require that no gaps be inserted b/t the tracks. I had to remove the gaps myself by setting the space b/t tracks to zero but at least the software allows you to do so. One quick note, for some reason, Nero required at least a two-second gap...

Greetings. I am currently testing out the Vegas Audio demo software. I'm new to this whole thing so I'm just trying to maneuver through the basics. When I save a file/project (.rm, .wav), the saved file contains intermittent static. Is this because I am using a demo version? Or, is there...

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but check out the following link: http://www.hollywooddj.com/hollywooddj/vesvincut.html Only $10k. I plan to buy one sometime before I die.

Greetings all. I need to edit a long wav file. I have a continuous music mix of about 75 minutes. I need to do 2 things: 1) I need to remove "pops" from the recording; and 2) I need to manually split the single file into several "tracks." Any recommendations on good software for these...

I had the exact same question a few weeks ago. I haven't tried it out yet but apparently all that needs to be done is to configure the burner's settings to record "disc-at-once" or "track-at-once." Check out this short blurb on the subject: http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq03.html#S3-26 (There are...

Greetings, all. After countless hours reading messages on this board and researching various topics on the web, I think I'm ready to purchase my new computer. I'm posting the proposed setup here w/the hope that you will share your thoughts. I've been doing my dj mixes on a tascam and am...

opinions I think I've posted thoughts on this issue elsewhere, but here it goes again. I don't know much about CDs, but these are opinions on some vinyl shops. sandoxautomatic.com has a good selection and I've been impressed w/their service. I recommend hiphopsite.com b/c the guys who run...

Thanks Thanks for the advice, all! I ended up buying the MDR V500s. They're too small for my big head. :D I'm gonna look into the models mentioned here. Any additional suggestions on headphones that will actually fit my big ass head? (7 5/8 hat size)

just a few thoughts Greatest of all time: Primo (by far) Current favorites: JayDee (Slum Vill), Madlib (Lootpack), Hi-Tek; Shadow Hall of Famers: Pete Rock, Prince Paul, Diamond, Bomb Squad (to name a few), RZA (early stuff), Dre (old stuff only :D ), Beatnuts (they should stick to production...

I'm using an ancient Porta 7 to do some music mixes. Yesterday, a loud clicking sound started occuring in random intervals. It sounds like the pop heard when an amp is turned off w/o the gains being pulled down. Do I need to clean the heads? Something else? Or is it just a part of low-end...

followup Thanks, Spin! I guess I should've been a bit more specific in my original post. One ear is fine for cueing but, b/c I live in an apt complex, I sometimes have to monitor all sound through the headphones (e.g., during late night scratch practice). Do any headphones exist that will...

Looking to get new headphones for DJ-ing. I'm looking at the Sony MDR-V500DJ and Sony MDR-V700DJ. The reason I like these models is that they have folding and rotating earcups, and they have single coiled cords. The 700 is twice as much as the 500 and I've read that both models have problems...

I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere but the search engine is not working (I searched for "music" to test it and nothing came up). After reading several posts, I am now planning to build a new computer system. I am just getting into computer-based recording so I don't know...

This is not legal advice. I don't know how to best protect yourself in your situation, but just so you know a copyright is a copyright even if not registered. As soon as you create some original work, it is copyrighted. The reason people register copyrights is because registration yields...

I don't know if this helps (and I've already posted this opinion elsewhere) but I bought the Boss Sp-303 sampler recently and I recently returned it. I was in the market for a relatively inexpensive sampler as I had not used a sampler before. I found the sp-303 difficult to use and limited in...

I have the same question. Can you use two soundcards? Basically, I'm looking to use a special audio interface w/analog inputs, but I also want to use my computer in the normal course. Based on my understanding (after reading replies to a prior post), these audio interfaces do not operate in...
