i thought protools was mac only - do you need the external bits and dedicated card to run it Seraph? I'm looking at a change from Cubase and Logic is MAC only now....
Oh veedubnutz, what are you running in terms of decks, mixer, etc....i've not long sold my sl1200s, shdj1200 mixer (bit of a scratcher myself, but mixed anything from breakbeat to hip-hop) and peavey hi-sys PA!
Ive had my decks for donkeys years, just some cheapy numark tt1910's and dm1001x mixer. Motors are more than a little worn now tbh. Dont often use them, normally go round my mates and use his 1200's
yeah, i was still being tongue in cheek kinda however, you can get a cut down version(protools LE with soundcard) running on wins/mac ect. There was a rumour a few years back that some of the 'mixed live' compilations by jules and co, were actually done by a studio techy on protools. E.g. the 'artist' was no where to be seen!
yeh, i learned on some belt drive jobs, soundlab iirc, round a friends - when i bought my 1200's i realised what i was missing! Do you scratch at all? By the end i got bored of mixing and began making my own tunes and got down to one deck just to add scratching....now i concentrate more on that and guitar/drums. I still have a load of records lying about as i was pi55ed off at what some of my classics sold for on the bay!
These are direct drive, had them for about 5 years. Never really tried scratching to be honest, but would be a cool skill
yeh, don't mix on protools etc, that's for rookies that can't beat-match records records! Only thing i ever heard that was electronicly mixed and still skilfull was "dirt chambers session Vol 1" (1 deck and 8 track recorder) by liam howlett, prodigy!
if you're interested in learning how to scratch (in my mind the only way to call yourself a true DJ), grab yourself a copy of any dj rectangle battle weapon series! Lay down a beat and mess about...eventually you'll never mix just scratch...best fun on decks for me after gettin bored of puttin other peoples tunes end-to-end!
