I's been seein' ya around n'all and I really love Jetstream n'all so a load down isa must'n. -- is this still up?

I'm impressed! I was assuming a sort of monotonous rolling bass prog, but there were all sorts of weird funky sounds, beeps, tinks, whispers, hums, sirens, kicks, stops and starts that added alot of fat groovy blackboy flavor for such a small whiteboy. What a unique last tune. Really diverse selection. I'm all over this mix.

Yeah. I used to say "Oh I should to a proggy mix" "or a chill mix"


Then I figured out that I cant choose those limits. So like I said, this mix was just a bunch of stuff I like put together the way I wanted.

Next mix will be a tad more electric though...

P.S. Y'all should drop tha midweystern accent jus for a lil' whaile.


P.P.S. You heard this before Slylee...thats pretty amazing...I thought she was my #1 fan


P.M.S. What did you think of te photos?

hey yahh. I slapped it on a CD-R and am jamming out before I leave. I prefer the remix of Jetsream rather than the dub. There's just something about that song! Hat tip to Neville.I mean.. it's nothing perplex but it'sits just.... ME!! Gawd I love it. I actually am going to make a cd with only that tune about... 8 times on disk? so I don't have to keep pressing repeat. Thanks again kidO.

Haha...I love the bassline. I like both mixes, but the dub fit much better in that spot. dubby dub dub.

A dj can perform a flawless set and still have it panned for lack of imagination. This imagination I refer to is more of a gift. The ability to know where a set is going, crowd reaction, flow, and build are all essential parts of this gift. Some dj�s have it and others don�t. Luckily, you managed to exude all those qualities. Music-wise I didn�t like your set because of different tastes. But the effort that you put behind Ableton is noticeable. In addition, your track selection followed a consistent theme that thankfully doesn�t sound like a bunch of tracks jumbled together. Overall this mix a great listen for anybody geared towards this type of music so nice job with the set Clovis.

i am really enjoying this mix so far. full review to come.

could you tell me a little bit about how abelton live works and what you have to do to make a mix? i'm curious how much effort it might take because it seems like a lot of effort was put into this.

I will take some screenshots later.

i have been checking it out on their website. just wondering how diffucult it is? does it use up a lot of RAM and do you need an uber soundcard?

Uses a good amount of ram, but mostly CPU power. I have a gig of RAM and a 2.2ghz processor. Soundcard wise, it doesnt need anything really fancy, depending on what you wanna do with it. I have an M-Audio card, the 2496.

I think its pretty easy once you learn a few basic things, but its really up to the user, how hard they want to make it. Once you have all your tracks warped (which you do before hand) it plays everything in time (i.e. you dont have to beatmatch anything.) This is pretty much all it does for you, the rest is just like normal mixing, plus I use a few effects here and there, along with filters, and I have alot of parts of different tracks looped or cut out.

One thing to note is that I dont use Ableton like some do, where they "record" the session, and can then go back and edit stuff later, I just record the audio live as I'm mixing, using a separate recording program.

Now that I have listened to this set over a couple of times, I am really appreciating your track selecting skills. The openning track is perfect (the Sasha influence is apperent ). The bleepiness of the next bit is infectious. I really like the werido sounds. Have you ever heard of Damian Lazarus? This is the stuff he plays with a really scary feel to it. The next more tribally part is really the part where I started grooving a lot more, waiting for whats coming up next. The progression from the beginning to the 30 minute mark is very well thought out. The crunchy sound of this section is what is really getting a lot of play now. The breakdowns are very nice. "House music" at it's best. The slowdown came too quickly but the last bit of the set really displays the effects of the software. I don't know the capabilities of Abelton Live and recording out of it but there were areas where more EQing could have made it that much better.

Overall, perfect set. I would tell people that it's a Digweed's Kiss 100 show guestmix set and they would believe me.

Can't wait until the CDJ set.

Thank you Marge. I know, EQing is hard when I'm using only a keyboard and mouse, I can only do so much at once. I havnt bought a controller yet.

nice work mate. do you have a cue file?



thanks

Awesome mix Clovis. Never heard any of these songs, great tracklist, awesome mixing.

Thank you, no cue file...you guys can make your own though..I just put a cue every 5 minutes...
