  1. Re:I hope they use some high-quality encoding on DJs Spinning Those Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Insightful

    excessive high-midrange.. your ears are most sensitive to midrange (which is what humans use for speech) so when you get blasted with too much mid, you get ringing.. the secret to good equalized sound, is to have pounding bass (you'll never get ringing from the bass), decently loud hi's and pretty low midrange.. VERY FEW DJ's seem to realize this, and go and crank up the mid, just so it makes their sound system sound louder, which makes me want to throw my drink at him.

  2. Re:Good luck. on DJs Spinning Those Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    heh, i'd like to see you just edit them togother into a mix of hours of dance music.. (it certainly is NOT as easy as you think) It takes me about 8 hours to mix about 1.4 hours of music when done on computer. Besides what would you have the club do? mix a WHOLE CD of music, then play it over and over again in the same song order non stop every day of the week? Yeah, that'll get the crowds going......

    Any DJ who uses an iPod to mix isn't a real DJ.. why? because there is absolutely NO skill involved in simply pushing play and moving a slider. DJing is about finiding and playing music that no one has heard before, but is something everyone will like and want to dance to, and mixing it together (which often means beatmatching, which is a skill VERY FEW can master easily, hell i've hosted raves many times before and a lot of the DJs I have try out for a slot can't even hold a beat match for more then 20 seconds..)..

    All clubs *really* need is a cd player... but then again they have to have a DJ to be trendy and popular right?

    I've been to clubs that do just that, heh, you end up seing no one dancing, why? beacause the manager of the place doesn't have the time to find any decent music, and just plays some 4 year old cd, then stops the music dead for 20 seconds when the cd is done, then slowly pops a new one in.. sorry, but there's a reason we have DJ's in clubs..

    heh, good luck finding a club with a decent sound system, most places that teh conception that loud = good quality.

    a GOOD sound system will be really loud, clear, and wont leave a ringing sound in your ears the next day. I rarely find a club with those attributes.

  6. Re:about fscking time on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    that's a very bad way of looking at things since as it stands christians are imposing their ways upon those who who are not part of their belief system. If you want to believe in god, cool, do it. Just don't make people who don't have the same belief be forced to take part, while at the same time be 'patriotic'

  7. Re:about fscking time on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    go look up the word religion. Athiesm is NOT a religion. why? Because a religion is "a belief in a supernatural being" (websters definition). Shame us athiests don't have any of that god stuff, otherwise you might actually be right.

  8. Re:Quicktime.. on Two Towers Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    even real has a better player design

    Uhh yeah that's it, real is a better player then quicktime.. why? Hmmm Because it needs to be upgraded everytime i go to use it, because it has about 15 million banners and buttons all over it's interface, because it's video and audio quality is far superior to even the best media players out there!

    It seems more then apparent that you don't like electronic music, just say that. That way i could have spared myself 25 seconds reading your whinning about a genre of music that would don't like.

  13. Re:Moby's CD is selling as well as it deserves to on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    moby's early albums were downright terrible with the exception of a few songs. I listen to a LOT of electronica, in it's various genres, but his early stuff is just annoying, i can't stand listening to it. Especially "Early Underground" Bletch.

  14. should be free anyway. on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    Musical artists should not be charging money for their music anyway. Any 'artist' who whines that people are 'stealing' his/her music obviously is not in the music industry because they love music, but instead because they want a lot of money.

    If all music was freely available you know what would end up happening? All 'pop' music and other label creations would dissapear, (heh, and so would the labels) what would be left over is a lot of great music created by those who truely love music and not those who are in it for the money and only money.

    If you think that these artists will have no money to make music with, you are wrong. I make well under 10k/year (i'm a student) and i still manage to buy all the audio equipment to make and produce music, and i certainly don't charge for my hard work. what i do charge for is live proformances, which should be the only time an artist should charge money for their music to be heard.
