Tommy Hear Me

Something with words and video mix

[media=vimeo]35055590[/media]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_jockey kind of sums it up particularly if you read the History of how music medium has evolved.

“My Goldfish wants to be a DJ”

A theme could be about Trains “All aboard the Night train” chugging along “From Paris to Berlin”
or the most predictable theme “Love” therefore every song has the word love in it in some context or another.

I have lost the the Document and i cant “like” a second time anyway else in getting it 🙂

“The GodFather” tricky to get set up but great once you know how i mainly use it for changing names, buy tunes from the net and they have underlines, numbers and other characters “The Godfather” can change the file names to what it should be in a batch so if you have run 100 tunes through Platinum Notes and have that dreaded pn.mp3 at the end of the name The GodFather can sort it, if not see Vito Corleone 🙂

Now to get VDJ to colour code the cue points

For Vinyl run for your life.

Firstly find out from others how they did it. Use this site and others for information

My equipment and process i used for Vinyl:

Lot of spare time 🙂
1. Direct Drives Technics
2. New needles
3. Good Mixer (Digitladjtips has a great section on setting up the mixer volume levels etc. thanks :))
4. Amplifier ( this will ensure that both left and right channels are even)
5. Audacity or similar for recording
6. USB Soundcard into computer
7. Discogs.com for all that great tags you gonna put into your songs.
8. Platinum Notes or Mp3Gain for improving volume loudnes
9. TheGodFather for renaming lots of songs at once and getting rid of the pn in pn.mp3 or similar program

Computer needs fast CPUs for instance if your recoding and browsing the internet you may find that the recording has some jumps in it because the CPU was not fast enough to do both tasks i.e. browsing and recording.

Save the Songs in WAV and MP3 fill in tags as i go.

For every song you record in vinyl get the mixer setting correct first time all songs have different levels of volume.

Clean the vinyl

think of it as a production line and along that line keep checking the process.

I have recorded 6000 + songs and still not finished and every now and then i come across a song that did not record correctly.

Any songs that you have ripped, mix them with other Mp3 songs bought from the internet or ripped from CD, when mixing the ripped vinyl look out for beats drifting out of sync. This may happen if you ripped your Vinyl using Belt Drives.
