  1. Possibly. Still haven't looked to see if I am working or not yet.
  2. You can claim a certain percentage of depreciation over the following 3 years. Its not like you get all of it back and essentially a free laptop. But there are better tax experts than me here. I only know cause I did it a few years ago.
  3. +rep
  4. And how do you get around the copyright issue?
  5. Never heard of this. Watched the first 5 minutes and decided I will get a Blu Ray.... cough.... copy to watch later.
  6. Might be really good, hopefully all the people that like shit music will go see Havana leaving you with people with good taste! You are talking about a regional town here. A big name comes even the people with good tastes will go because everyone else they know will be going. Not a lot you can do in these situations.
  7. That alone does not do it though. I have tried both with the same mix and both were rejected.
  8. I am not saying it IS possible. Just figured it has both so why not use both. Haven't tried myself yet. You can be my guinea pig....
  9. Did you want to enlighten us with this question, or was that it?
  10. Unless willing to spend bulk coin for minor improvement you won't get much awfully better than that. Yeah, can go up a generation of CPU and 8gb ram. Both have greater impact on paper than they will in the real world. How is that not cutting it? That would handle most applications except massive CAD/Rendering/graphics programs or gaming.
  11. Monitors have both XLR and RCA input? Why not connect PC via RCA and S2 via XLR? This is possible isn't it? It is what I had planned to do with my monitors when I get into my new house.
  12. Y U No Use Mixcloud tags? edit: I find mixcloud buggy, although useful for reasons already mentioned. Plus free and no time limits. The song timestamps are cool idea though.
  13. Yeah... But that is an official mix. Not in the competition. I think there will be some decent ones that pop in the comp. http://soundcloud.com/skrillex/sets/make-it-bun-dem-after-hours-ep/
  14. Any of our more talented producers going to have a crack at this?
  15. Download parts here --> http://play-download.beatport.com/packs/Beatport_Remix_Package-Skrillex-Bun_Dem.zip Submit here --> http://play.beatport.com/contests/skril ... dem/upload
  16. First you need to host the images you want on an image host... My preference is Imgur cause it is just plain awesome. Then go to control panel, and edit profile > signature. Use this template as a guide. In front of the URL you will need a http://
  17. Any chance of a download link? I like what I have heard so far. I think the familiarity will help with the dancing. Kinda summery, late afternoon beer garden feel. My only thing I have noticed is, I was enjoying Love the One your with and it got mixed out when I know it is only about half way through. But that might just me I guess. I also am not a fan of highly schizophrenic mixes of electro that seems to play 1 minute of a tune before moving onto the next one. edit: You lost me on Electric Lotus.... Really nice song. But if I was up dancing, I just sat down. edit: finished... I do like and still want a download link
  18. In my very, very short time doing this I put a lot of effort into planning the mix of the ones I intend to upload. Right down to rehearsing each transition, knowing exactly my cues, how I am fading and what I am doing with EQ's. I guess it is because it is a recording, made essentially for other people's enjoyment I want it to be perfect. I will stop and start again if required. Or if I hear something I don't like when listening back I will start again. One of the discussions I had with the feedback on the newbie comp was regarding this and how it wasn't just fluke or natural talent but quit a bit of effort beforehand. I guess this is why some of my mixes can sound pretty polished for someone so new? But some are completely shithouse.... Hey I only been doing this since March this year. But live mixing is a whole different animal. This takes so much more skill and experience that I just do not have. Then only live mix I have on Soundcloud is one I did straight after getting Mixed in Key. And the point of that was not necessarily to see how good I could nail the phrasing and transitions but to see how random, un-auditioned songs in my library sounded in a harmonic mix and whether the theory worked.
  19. Love my iPad and so does my 5yo daughter. I just personal hotspot my iPhone if I want use use the net on it outside of my home.
  20. The version of 4x4=12 that I got was both. Individual tunes and an hour long mix. Same with SHM Until One. From my limited experience it seems like albums from artists are either un-mixed or both. The commercial compilation albums are almost always mixed.
  21. I just don't understand how any electronic music cannot be spot on to the bpm? It's not like regular/acoustic music that has human error in it. It is made to the bpm required with perfect timing....
  22. Why not? Besides making it arbitrarily harder for no valid reason? Like it or not it is called progress. It's just like automatic gearboxes in performance cars, cruise control, automatic washing machines (anyone remember twin tubs?) or advancements in photographic equipment. Things change that make the old way of doing things easier.
  23. Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind. In this section you will find the peripheral definitions of what the event is as a whole, but to truly understand this event, one must participate. This site serves to try to paint a picture of the Burning Man experience to those who are new to the project, as well as to give those participants looking to keep the fire burning in their daily lives an environment in which to connect to their fellow community members. For a brief yet eloquent overview of the entire event from the time of arrival to the time of exodus, please read "What is Burning Man?", an essay written by participant and one-time web team member, Molly Steenson. Please see archived sections for each year to read more about the art themes, art installations and theme camps for each year. Here you will find links that will take you on a trip through the past - through the history of Burning Man - from its early days on a small beach in San Francisco through its evolution into the bustling city of some 48,000+ people that the Burning Man event has become today. These people make the journey to the Black Rock Desert for one week out of the year to be part of an experimental community, which challenges its members to express themselves and rely on themselves to a degree that is not normally encountered in one's day-to-day life. The result of this experiment is Black Rock City, home to the Burning Man event. There are no rules about how one must behave or express oneself at this event (save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and experience of the community at large); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community. The event takes place on an ancient lakebed, known as the playa. By the time the event is completed and the volunteers leave, sometimes nearly a month after the event has ended, there will be no trace of the city that was, for a short time, the most populous town in the entire county. Art is an unavoidable part of this experience, and in fact, is such a part of the experience that Larry Harvey, founder of the Burning Man project, gives a theme to each year, to encourage a common bond to help tie each individual's contribution together in a meaningful way. Participants are encouraged to find a way to help make the theme come alive, whether it is through a large-scale art installation, a theme camp, gifts brought to be given to other individuals, costumes, or any other medium that one comes up with. The Burning Man project has grown from a small group of people gathering spontaneously to a community of over 48,000 people. It is impossible to truly understand the event as it is now without understanding how it has evolved. The impact of the Burning Man experience has been so profound that a culture has formed around it. This culture pushes the limits of Burning Man and has led to people banding together nation-wide, and putting on their own events, in attempt to rekindle that magic feeling that only being part of this community can provide. The Black Rock Arts Foundation promotes interactive art by supporting public art that exists outside the event, and has a special interest in supporting art at regional events. Additionally, Burning Man has over two thousand volunteers who work before, during and after the event (many who work year-round) to make the event a reality. To give of your time and talents, please see the Participate section of the website. If this is your first visit to this site, a good starting point is the FAQ page, the glossary, and the timeline. From here you can stroll through the carefully archived sections for each year. Community, participation, self-expression, self-reliance; these tenets of Burning Man are lifeblood of the Burning Man experience. Whether you are new to this site or are returning for your umpteenth visit, you are encouraged to delve into these pages to expand your viewpoint and definition of these ideals, and to connect with yourself to find your niche in our community. The giving of yourself is the greatest gift you can give to the Burning Man community, and is imperative to the survival of this unique experiment. That is the most over-written, pompous piece of shit I have every read.
  24. Awesome! Well done.
