...in this thread?

Here's an hour+ segment from my set - deep, dirty, druggy, late-night Techno, House and Electro, all-vinyl, 3-decks, no waiting. Thick like Chicago-style pizza, a bit wobbly here and there, but then again, t'was a bit of a wobbly night all 'round... ;)



Tracklist? We don't need no steenkin' tracklist! :p

(off the top of my head, there's some DJ Bone, Chris McKormack, Steve Hurley w/ M. Doc (best ever Hip-House tune), K-Alexi, Secret Cinema, Barada, Eduardo De La Calle, Frankie Bones, Tyree Cooper and Trevor Rockcliffe in there - just ask if you're looking for specifics and I'll do my best to oblige)

Why is the quality so bad? What mixer do you use? I mean it actually sounds like it was recorded sometime in the early-mid 90's lol
PivotTechno
Rec out from my Xone:32 straight into the 1/8" mic jack on my laptop. Suppose I should drop the mic volume a touch on the laptop next time, as the mixer records to 0 dB regardless of the main output levels.

The fact that I'm playing mostly well-worn 90s vinyl might also have something to do with it having that 90s feel... :p

here's your problem. a mic input is not a line input.
what you did by plugging it that way is using the crappy pre-amp from the laptop mic input thus adding volume.
PivotTechno
Hence my thinking that I'll drop the mic volume next time 'round. Or, I could be less of a lazy and route through my Firebox. :p

Either way, 26 listens straight off - guess the lo-fi-ness isn't dissuading too much...
Paulr
even if you drop the mic volume.... it will always sound very lo-fi. so yes, you should go through your ext soundcard
