Nice looking place, but that glass is a highly reflective surface and you will have all kinds of trouble mixing there.
Try to find a non-square shaped room with few or no windows, or windows covered in heavy drapes.
Avoid monitor placement in corners or adacent to corners and, of course, keep monitors at the level of your ears in an equalateral triangle with your head.
I consider it a good thing that I haven't seen a lot of these djs because of the times I've seen the few I have seen and the people I was around at the time.
Well yea, duh, its all about the money for 90some percent of people out there.
Just image anything you give free being rubbed in someones croch, if you can live with that, ok, if not, don't give it away.
I've been a fan of sci-fi movies since I was a kid watching on television so its natural I like samples that are from sci-fi movies.
A lot of psytrance sounds fit with the theme of spacey sci-fi or futuristic stuff so the samples work (when not overdone).
I agree with the OP on this, now that I've seen Superbad on cable I can't understand why it was so popular.
But then, never overstimate the audience, Judd Apatow makes what the masses want to see.
He is the current studio darling.
Has anyone mentioned the 'Power Pill' EP ?
Its probably only -pick your favorite of the bunch, toss the rest- but still great stuff.
and his unreleased stuff...
It needs more structure.
That's the problem with most ambient, it doesn't have an identifiable structure - they get all these nice sounds and then just put them together without a form holding it all together. That's why I hear the criticism 'ambient is just noise' because song structure is still important, even in ambient.
It's also why I don't collect ambient, I don't feel satisfied listening to most I hear.
Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet:

...or the theme to Beatleguse
What kind of soundcard do you have on your PC
The audio out of the SH-201 should go to the audio in on the PC's soundcard then the mix software out (from FL)should go to your mixer
Make sure FL Studio can see your soundcard and that you have it set to recieve audio from that source.

You should stalk ebay for old, analog synthesizers and ultimately pay a years wages for something you use once, take to a festival and have electrical problems with.
