i pretty much sang all the vocal songs that he played that ive heard before and knew the lyrics to |
I guess he had a unfamiliar track selection.
Now i am very happy.. |

You folks are getting steamed over his playing one track 2 times?
Good thing most of you weren't there in '03 when he dropped ATRC 3 times. |

I had a blast as always. I don't really follow the trance scene too much anymore, but PVD never dissapoints me. I'm sure there was some to be desired for with his set, but I wasn't there to nit pick it apart. I had a blast hanging out with everyone, hearing some classics, and getting drunk in the park. Can't wait til next year!
track of the night for me was Murder Was The Bass. That track never gets old.
Max Graham afterward was awesome as well. Thanks to Sleepy and Boo for having me in the basement. Awesome sets from all the djs last night. |

not exactly...you still have to line up the beats on every track (time-warping)...it is not automatic...it's only automated once you set it up correctly, and if the track is produced with hardware, or a vinyl rip, the process can take hours just for one stupid track.
all the top DJ's have people time-warping every track on ableton so it seems like it never fails. but ask any bedroom DJ who has to go in and adjust everything himself and he'll tell you what a pain it is. |
If you know what you're doing, warping a track shouldn't take longer than 3 minutes - maybe 5 if you're warping a vinyl rip that isn't keeping constant time...
PvD's set was ok. I don't really go to these CP events to see PvD anymore. It's all just about hearing EDM outside in the late summer for me. |

well, that depends...to match up the intro/outro usually takes about 3 min...but if you want to be able to mix out at any point in the track, it takes a while longer. and it depends on the accuracy ur after too. to get rid of all resonance/transients in the mix caused by vinyl rips would take hours.
anyway, pvd's set on sat was good. clever use of ableton, although the laptop screwup was unexpected |

Had a pretty good time today hearing PVD.
What i hated it was the ING DISGUSTING BEER THEY HAD. 7 bucks for this piss-. We drank a case and a half before the show, so we dont have to spend money on this Brooklyn Brewery.
Of course, the lines for the bathroom were horrible. Bad ing job to whoever manages this . idiots. My friend pissed in 3 cups while standing in the line waiting.
This is getting worse and worse.
The drummer ed up alot of times, like he never heard the songs before and didnt know how to coordinate.
Paul spun some good tracks. He was with the crowd today and i had a blast like usual when i see him. If it wasnt for PVD this show would suck ass.
There was TONS AND TONS of polish, russian and slovakian people. I was suprised and i met alot of them. Alot of hot girls too.
I took alot of pics, but im not going through them today.

Just back....
PVD tore it up!!!! All those reviews from Friday night must have meant two different shows. Paul was lively and interactive and having a great time. The only other time I remember him being like this was at Ultra in 2005. Too many familiar tunes to mention, many of which sounded like new mixes including 4 Strings, plus his trademark stuff (Nothing But You, For an Angel). He ended with Alter Ego - Rocker, then For An Angel, Crush and Time of Our Lives. He also played two tunes that I would never expect from PVD - The Egg - Walking Away and the Trentmoller mix of Royksopp - What Else Is There, both well pitched up. The crowd was definitely into it, the lighting was great and the sound top notch. Only one glitch throughout the night when some of Paul's equipment failed for a few minutes during Dogzilla - Without You (wonder how that moment will transer to Sirius). The drummer was also a really nice touch as well. Another nice touch was at the very end PVD and the drummer walked right up to the crowd, where Paul grabbed a banner saying 'Thank You' and then held it up to show everyone. |
