I'm wanting to know what do I really need to create some fat beats I have no hardware except for a computer with alot of memory. What all do I need to get started and how much would it cost.

Great mixing seminar R-Tek (Sorry about your head pain). I think the only problem I'll have, as you already indicated, is not having a cross fader. Looking into this. Damn credit card is going to be the end of me. I have enough mixing gear that I can pre monitor stuff though. Despite approaching this in a 'different' way, it seems that my end result will be similar. In principle it sounds easy but I know that it will require some practice. First I'm going to compile the music and figure out the technical hurdles so I can just sit back and get the hang of it. I checked out the D'n'B Arena - Listen link. Way cool. The albums "Blazin LP","Hostage", and "Both Worlds" sound awesome. I'll be going there all the time now...Hey, what the...I'm mixing other peoples stuff into my own music now! Last week I was just telling you how I...Never mind. One more question for now: How long would an amatuer DJ take the floor for? Yeah, maybe this is a question that can't really be answered acurately but I have a disk space limitation. I think 50 minutes or less wouldn't kill me. Please don't say two hours. If I have to buy bigger drives then it would be cheaper just to get the tables.

God, nice one R-Tek. I'd do one for you aswell Fresh, but i have trouble in expressing myself, i know what to do , but explaining to someone!!!to me it's like sitting an exam. Anyway you don't wanna bother with anything but Technics. because it's nearly impossible to get a good mix on them fuckers, and they blow up while the Technics keep on going. When your cueing a record, the Technic's reach the pitch almost instant, whereas the cheaper ones take about 5 hours to get there, you can use your fingers to speed it up but then them fuckers go way too fast. Then you slow it down, but them fuckers are too sensitive. Not like the Technics. Dunno about the new digital deks tho, their more expensive than the Teks aren't they?

`nics r far from the best dex around now. The Vestax dex have a faster startup time, more stable tonearm and a reliable pitchshifter with a quartzlock that operates throughout the pitchrange, likewise the new Numark dex. That said, I`d always advise 2 get `nics cos they last 4ever and never let u down. I started out on Soundlab dex and all I can say is DONT DO IT! Well, maybe if you`re desperate but they really r shit.

...yeah, but those Rane mixers cost a fortune..............I was reading about their new "NY Style" mixer the other day and its got no gain, no x-fader and no EQ!!! Its probably a great piece of kit an` that but I`d rather sacrifice a bit if sound quality in favour of somrthing more versatile..........

....don`t matter what u call it Wai, its only technically different.......don`t forget the phrase "Drum and Bass", even though it had been around 4 a long time, only became popularised when it became trendy; and the people who`d previously slated "Jungle" could save face by using another term.....

What became of Drum n Space? Heard some great stuff on the radio last year then it kind of fizzled off.
