A good proportion of his sets, well atleast radio based sets aren't actually mixed by Oakey but rather he just selects the tracks and order.
Then someone else just loads it all into Digidesign Pro-Tools and the computer does the mixing.
Can't really comment on his live stuff of late though, haven't heard much. |
ah no....

wrong. you can mix very easily in pro tools
you can set tracks to the same BPM and a whole heap of stuff
don't listen to everything you hear |
wrong again... maybe you shouldn't listen to all the hearsay you hear

Hey, as you guys know, Markus Schulz reads these forums, and even though I told him to get his own screename, I still get stuck posting his thought for him from time to time. So here is a word from Markus .............ok I have to chime in on this conversation. Pro tools DOES NOT mix the tracks for you. Pro tools is a comprehensive multi track recording application. What people use pro tools for is to perfect their sets. DJ's will record a tune on track 1 and 2 (stereo), and then the next track on channels 3 and 4. The still have to mix the tracks into the comp using the pitch control on the turntable or CD player. After the transition has been layed down, the DJ can then go in and fine tune using EQ sweeps, volume automation or looping certain parts to make the transition smoother. It actually takes more time to do a set in pro tools. Also when you are done with the set, you have to "bounce" the set to disc, which is done in real time. So...lets add this up, a 1 hour set.....takes (at the very least 1 hour to upload into the computor with transitions, another 1-3 hours to do the appropriate editing and automation, and then another hour to bounce back down. Thats at least 3 or more hours to do a 60 minute set!!! So if you see a set that a DJ has done in protools, be honored that they have gone through the extra effort to give you a perfected mix. It means they care about their product. Therefor I find it hard to believe that Oakenfold uses pro tools for his Stateside/93.1 sets. It only adds to the workload, when all Oaky needs to do is hit record and play on a cd recorder and an hour later he is done. |
next time make sure you know what you are talking about...
ONCE A LEGEND ALWAYS A LEGEND
btw Oakenfold rocks the floor over here in the US... stop being so jaded and let the music take you!
