It's actually the past participle...but yeah, you used it right.
heh, johnsmith, i can understand why it doesn't sound right. Nobody ever is talking about getting drunk and talking in past participles. hahahaha. Unless they're really drunk... |

the thing i dont like about getting drunk [er...close to it] is that i hate the feeling of being out of control. so i am not interested in that becuase i [unlike alot of people i know] do not need a drink to be realxed or sociable or...whatever else.

That's cool...and I hate arguing on this, but you should see the other side too. You can drink and totally be in control. most people very quickly learn their limits..and if they intend to stay in control they do. Then you have the "yo lets get faced" people. YOu don't have to be one of them. And it does tend to make some things like parties (and mixing at times) more fun if you've got a little bit in you. |

i actually thought it was a past participle too but my girlfriend said its present and i trust her lol
yeah i agree about the control thing which is why i can drink if im with my best friend/big brother figure but not wiht anyone i know in college becuase they do drink to get faced.
theres this dj i know who i respected until i saw him djing while he was faced and he looked and sounded rediculous. i guess its fine to be relaxed when djing and drinking and still being in control but first of all i dont know anyone who does that since im in college lol and second... i know my limits but i dont really feel anything until i feel out of control...maybe it just take experience but i just never really cared for it. especially seeing my grandfather being an alcoholic and doing all those bad things alcoholics do...and also seeing some of my best frineds turn into alcoholics in highschool and college. or just seeing their lives and personalities get messed up by alcohol.
im not saying that its a bad thing but personally i just dont care for it : )
OK PEOPLE BACK TO THE TOPIC... SOMEONE LEARN SOMETHING NEW ALREADY!!! im gonna spin tomorrow and.... hopefully ill have something new to say! |

We never went off topic. Your girlfriend learned that drunk is a past participle.
Go to www.dictionary.com if she's a nonbeliever :toothless |

aiight, i believe you guys, cuz i can't even remember what past participles are, it's been so long since i was in english. Anyway, it sounds ed up.
so, you would say i drank some water. but you'd also say, without having drunk any water?
NEway, this threads been hijacked. 3 pages and not even that many good ideas. |

i use to touch the platter alot but now im trying to use the pitch fader only, which more of a challenge and of course sounds better(even looks better).hard though, practice will be the only way to get there.
Just one more thing have u ever seen any internation Djs touch the platter??? Everytime ive watch them mix they only use the fader( they only touch the vinyl when they are dropping in the first beat.
peace all. |

Ok, I got one I learned something this weekend. This really only applies to those of us running FinalScratch.
:cool:
Ok, so when I first got TFS I set the overall strip of the song to fit to the window so I could see more details of the song. But my friend realized that if you have the songs the same size (by having the song strip fit to the record) then you can see the structure of the 2 songs and match up the phrases. This workes really well. Instead of REALLY knowing all your records, or just guessing the song phrase structure. You can look at the end of the song you are mixing out of and find the perfect spot to push off of with your cued record in order to get the phrases lined up how ever you want. Instead of pushing off after the last break or whatever, you can time it so the cued song will hit its first break just as the last song is ending.
Anyway, I know this does not matter to very many people but I am excited. I don't know of this is really simple and everybody else with FinalScratch already do this, but I know I did not in the few months I have had this. |

came to another realizeatoin today...
ive been listening to my sets more and more [as advised by a friend] and he was very correct about learning by listening to yourself...
the last mix that i made [which can be found in the amature dj promo section lol] was really good when i first listened but after literally like the 10th time i really was able to break it all down and find little minute details about each mix that i could change... while they are small in comparison to the whole beat/pitch/key matching scene i think these small adjustments and tweaks are what will make it stop sounding crappier everytime i listen to it and more homogeneous as a whole mix.
some thing that i am working on:
levels [gain treble mids and bass]
i think these are sorta rough for me
filters
i have filters on my mixer and i need to learn to use them more strategically
i donno i am more of a person who is more hands off when it comes to music. to me, records were recorded the why they were for a reason and i dont like to mess with the levels too much but when it comes to mixing i think i must in order to be smoother... i guess theres delicate balance that i must achieve to satisfy both of my needs
well anyone care to comment? or perhaps add some more info into this thread?
i am determined to keep discussion in this thread going! |
