Hey, are we doing aria chart from april, or aria chart from June? That one. That's why I captured it in a screenshot to avoid confusion.

Last lot of iPhones and ipads were sold here cheaper due to the Aussie dollar. Was only marginal but still was cheaper here than in the states.

Seems to have worked. Seems like it didn't like the url/img tag combo? Which is weird cause that is exactly how the links in my signature are set up...

Yeah... The normal Flickr supplied tags that link back to the original image [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/92419471@N04/8835893376/][img=http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7443/8835893376_8aff6c1cca_z.jpg][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/92419471@N04/8835893376/]20130525-IMGP2627.jpg[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/92419471@N04/]dcBear78[/url], on Flickr

Trying to post in the Photo Thread and get this error come up. Have tried numerous ways to attack it and still get the same error. Have not seen the error anywhere else.

Having a listen to the tunes involved... This could get interesting. Looking forward to the different ways people will approach this. Who's putting their hand up to be in this?

Hey

Sounds good. Gives some time to hunt some remixes. Not sure what I'm getting myself into here. I got no idea what most of these songs are.

Let's lock it in then.... Seems as though the Aria chart idea seems popular. Rules 1. All top ten songs from Aria chart must be used (attached below) 2. Free to use any remix 3. Half hour mix (couple minutes either way is Ok) 4. No songs or accapellas permitted that is not from the list 5. No pre made mash ups (live mash up is fine) 6. Submit by ???? 7. Winner selected by ???? The song list

I like the suggestion of set tunes but free to use any remix

I'm gunna put my hand up for this. Need a challenge and inspiration to try something new.

Haven't watched the video but if you use any of the sync, quantize or snap features I would think carefully about entering.

Hey

^^^ I like that

I see this album as very similar to Homework. There was very little in that album that was danceable besides Around the World. It was more an adventure into electronica. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

^^^ Well said. Agree with all of that after I had a listen today. Cool songs individually but a bit disjointed together. But this is an experience thing. For a first this was a pretty solid mix.

hey hey

Traktor also now has key analysis, but I am not 100% on how to read it. It isn't in the same Camelot system as used by mixed in key but looks similar. Theory is the same with the numbers and a letter to indicate major or minor key. I purchased MiK before Traktor could do this so still use it for my harmonic mixing (and I am a big advocate of it.) I'm still very much a noob. I know my way around my S4 and Traktor, but without both of these I am lost. I am kinda stuck and now reliant on the visual element that Traktor provides. I purely mix for my own enjoyment. I make my own mixes with songs I like for my own enjoyment. So I am a meticulous planner because I want to be hearing perfect mixes. Playing live is different and minor imperfections are less noticeable. The other guys who have said they just wing it when they play are very experienced. After seeing Mitch play I think he could mix the 1812 overture with the crazy frog and somehow pull it off. But for a new person, getting to know the art and their equipment, plan it out to start with. My couple tips I can give with my year or so with traktor.... 1. Plan your mix... Different songs have different energies. I like to build a set, starting with fairly melodic tunes and ending on a high with the bangers. For a half hour mix build until the end, don't let up. 2. Plan transitions. Different songs require a different transition for that perfect sound. Most common things I use is incoming or outgoing song needs mids or lows faded or cut (I personally rarely touch treble...but that's me). I also like to use the filter occasionally for this. Audition and practise these.... Super Traktor tip --> You can save notes on your cue points. I write my instructions on what I am going to do on the incoming tune's que point. The one shown in the example is the transition between the first and 2nd song (2nd song starts coming in about 5:10 in the mix). Cue point 3 starts on the incoming tune at 7 on the outgoing track. Bit of gibberish but I knew what it meant at the time.... 3. Harmonic mixing generally sounds more pleasing, especially if you like long transitions like I do. As already discussed you can either use MiK or Traktor. I have used both and they both work. The mix below was using Traktor's key recognition and it sounds perfectly fine to me. You can see in the playlist the key progression. I assume "m" is for minor and "d" is major as minor keys seem to be the most common for EDM. The way Traktor notates it is different to MiK but the basics are the same. 1 to 12 either "m" or "d". You either go the same key or usually -/+1. It is also possible to -/+2 or -/+7. This isn't exactly a solid rule though. If a mix sounds good but doesn't follow the rules then so be it. I break the rules a couple times in this mix, but sounds good enough to me... 4. Click on the dot next to the "Key" knob - Shift + Play on S4, to turn Keylock on. This makes it so much easier to change tempo without it being audible in a pitch change in the music, just the beat will change. A non-issue if all your songs are at same tempo, or you are mixing at a constant tempo. But really useful for those genres changes like a 110bpm Moombah song to 120bpm Electro tune. 5. Bit of a cheat here and the purest might get upset. But I say use what technology you got at your disposal. Click on the blue button next to "Gain" knob. Will change to orange and all songs will be loaded up at the same gain level. click for full size http://soundcloud.com/dj-drc1/march-electro-mix-1

Plus GST for anything >A$1k

Just don't be expecting EDM bangers.

These should marry up with the knobs on the T1 that says "FX channel select" (at a guess... ). But instead of A & B it should be effect bank 1 & 2 in Traktor. Then use "Effect Select" knob to chose from your 3 effects which one you want. You can change the settings to have 3 different effects on the right as well (6 total) rather than the one effect with 3 parameters. This is bit of a guess as I have an S4 not a T1.

Just hilighting it can be more than a -/+ 1 step.
