Lol those videos weren't mine... I found them on Youtube because when I was writing the tracklist, I was at the bar while those tracks were playing so I had nothing to go off of... when I tried to record samples of those tracks so I could ID them later, the 2 videos for track 18 and 19 ended up not having any sound... just video :rolleyes: so I looked on youtube and those videos were the only tracks that I didn't have in my tracklist so I knew where to place them. Then it was a matter of matching up just one of the videos posted on youtube to one of my videos without the sound and see if the visuals matched up. The 2 tracks got IDed and were placed into the tracklist.
If you want to know how to get a clean video, then check in the options and menus for your camera to see if it says anything about having a bass roll-off option... something in the range of 80-250 Hz so it records the audio with a high-pass (low-cut) filter so most of the melody is preserved and you get a video with nice, listenable audio. Some digital cameras, such as my own, don't have menus for bass roll off and having taken an acoustics class and audio engineering course, I learned about certain materials being able to absorb target frequencies (low range and bass in this example) so I got a piece of cloth with a high absorption coefficient targeted at 250 hertz and taped it over my microphone. It actually fell off somewhere before I was able to record so I made something similar at the gig... I ripped off a piece of foam from my earplug and used the sticky party of one of my wristbands to hold it over the mic. It kind of worked but it fell off then I kept my finger over the mic but lots of bass still came inside the mic.
Your best bet is to email the camera companies if you'd like to buy a model for recording good videos especially for EDM events like this one. I am hearing from lots of people (and seeing through their videos) that the Sony Cybershot model seems to record videos with heavy bass very well and I think as soon as heavy bass gets picked up, the microphone automatically rolls off the bass for you. Try checking them out as I am going to buy a Cybershot model very soon especially for recording videos like this with high bass levels :crazy: |

word. i live in san jose, and i wasn't even considering the bill graham party, even with all my friends going. $75 at the door for a 3 hr Tiesto set just turned me off. They had other DJ's and 2 other rooms, but I heard only the main room actually had people. I was pretty pissed off that we had an expensive "mini-TIC" up here..
I instead flew down to LA for the weekend and had a BLAST. On Sat, Roscoe's for lunch, shopping, then dinner at Lawry's and then heading to the TIC @ LA Sports Arena. Awesome. |

That's exactly what I did. Driving from San Jose was worth it. |

I had a great time! It was a much more clubber/more mature crowd than most massives but that was a good thing. I ended up going alone because my friends were on the floor and I didn't have a floor ticket.
I did have to wait in line for 2 hours because the line was ridiculously wrong and then I discovered I had an upstairs ticket after waiting for an hour, and had to go to the VIP entrance for which the line was 1/2 as long as the regular line but when I went inside it was comfortable and there was room to dance so it wasn't too bad.
I had an upstairs ticket so I was dancing upstairs in the aisle. I was dancing next to some random cool people who I ended up talking to and grooving with.
Turns out I was dancing next to a guy who was 1 of 5 people from LA to go see Daft Punk at Red Rocks. (I was one of the other 5 people). So its a small world because the chances of us running into each other and talking at something like Tiesto in Concert are very low.
Tiesto was better than I expected. He played a lot of hard stuff (mostly during the Fire set) and he wasn't as poppy as I expected. He played some great classics. Probably one of my favorite moments was when he played Fonzerelli - Moonlight Part and Lethal Industry.
I don't really like his new stuff including Dance4Life (not the best song) but the visuals during that song were amazing so it balanced out.
He was pretty mellow until his Fire set and then that was really fun. I was around great people with a great vibe and that made it even more fun and possible to do some good old fashioned dancing straight for many hours.
(I am really glad I drank a vitamin energy drink! It doesn't make you hyper like other energy drinks but it gives you energy for the whole night so you don't get tired.)
So much fun! Although catching a cab at 4AM on the corner of Figueroa and MLK was a bit like fighting in the jungle but it all worked out.
I am really glad I went. |

i have to honestly say it was better than i expected. i wasn't even planning to go, i won a bet and a girlfriend bought the ticket for me. he played a lot of songs that i never expected to hear now:
...the prophet
...silence
...nyana
...tears from the moon
...street spirit (i thinks that's what it's called)
i had the best time of my life that night. the coming down of the curtain was cool, the fireworks was cool, and the opening was:eyes: the four hour drive was totally worth it.
was it just me or tiesto run into some trainwrecks? like one or two of them. the only down side of it all was the heat on the main floor. |

I've noticed Tiesto attracts an older crowd. And wow.. you went to Tiesto by yourself? Did you drop? |

That night was simply amazing. Besides Tiesto putting on a good show himself. The crowd was amazing. And so were the visuals. Also about the headphones. I saw him toss them. I looked at his myspace later, and found a comment from the gf of the guy who caught em.

How do you know if you have a floor ticket or not? |

Umm to me the crowd was younger this time around.
But it was pretty mixed. |

you liked the visuals during dance4life? i'm sorry but if i wanna see a public service announcement telling me to dance against hiv and aids, i'll stay home and watch cnn. in addition to being the worst track ever produced, the dance4life part of the show was also hands down the worst part of the show. completely killed my vibe i was like wtf? |
