My money's on: "Slow Motion Music signs Paul van Dyk to label; new 2-disc album due February 2007." :D |
nice thought!
unfortunately, it was "just" digweed in the booth with pvd... |

i was gonna say, i recognize that from last years Katrina Tour Mix here in h-tizzown. I remember you freakin out back behind the booth when he played that matt. I figured that was probably one of your favs;) |

Same thing with Houston. As in my other review either he figured out how to mix harmonically by ear, or figured out how to do it automatically in Ableton. |
I am betting on ableton. None of the 'top' dj's seem to take pride in the art of actually executing a good transition anymore. Eventhough I do respect the notion that the set itself and how it controls the crowd is what's important, I think the skills that make a dj unique has been lost among the elite. I do have abelton, but would never use it in a live set. I use cdj's, so I guess you can call me a pseudo-purist. I am sure that there are some on here that use software, and I mean little disrespect. That's just my opinion. |

For an Angel will always be one of my favorites due to how he played it in the end at Metdown 4 in Dallas, had all 5,000 people jumping etc. MvL's remix is decent with the addition piano, but I prefer the e-wek club mix.
As far as me freakin out, that was nothing compared to some of his better gigs. :) |

Haven't tried that software so I don't know what you can actually do in it but it sounded like For An Angel was looped while coming out of the previous tune. He could have done it 3 ways: using the live software, Pioneer DJM-600 which has a sampler but it would be a very difficult thing to do in a way it sounded or he might have mashed those 2 tunes before and then burn it on a cd. Just listen to the end of The Essential Mix and you'll hear the exact same transition.
And Matthias - I'm totally with you - E-Werk Club Mix will be always my favorite, 1998 rocked... |

wait, so, did Digweed actually do something like tag out with pvd, or did he just stand there and look cool? |

sounded like the same thing he did in Houston. He has two laptops, one for ableton, and one for Serrato scratch live, I unfmamiliar with the capabilities of both, but the more I think about it, it was probably done through Ableton.
Kinda been doing soe thinking on this..no disrespect to him, just an observation. Before he started using Ableton, his transitions beatmatching-wise were were sketchy, afterward they were flawless. Doesnt take a genius to figure out that using ableton helps you beatmatch and phrase em without putting too much brainwork into it. Up until last wednesday, while his sets were on-point, the transitions weren't always in key unless he was lucky. Last wednesday the entire set including every layering trick he did was in harmony. Again, I dont know too much about Ableton, but Im guessing its a possibility that 'he figured it out'. If thats the case, its all whatever.
Bottom line. I honestly dont give a if by him using the technology makes him more or less respectable. I've grown past that arguament just like the age old vinyl vs digital debate which is STILL going on, even though a majority of the headliners use digital in some form or another. I'd like to see Paul take some time off the tour to develop some new tracks. And I dont mean like he did for Reflections, but 7 ways/ Out There and Back type material. It aint gonna happen but...its all good. |

This is in Dallas thursday. They both look like Ableton to me. I think one is how he all the tracks set up to play, and he used the other one for the effects. |
