    wider view with subs for the completists

    Is it a pic of yours ? I mean , were you allowed to go on stage after soundcheck ?

    edit : how even did you get into there before doors open, you were part of the barbican crew ?

    Who's the best person on the forum currently for sorting out files?

    I have recordings of both Barbican sets but they will need some subtle mastering attention and hosting somewhere, I don't have a mega account etc. I'd like W.A.T.M.M.ers to be able to hear them but don't want them splashing all over YouTube...

    I'm willing to help on this task

  3. I think the man's review (or analysis as it's called) is quite on point for a first listen (if he's not faking about it being his first listen before commenting)

    I mean he spots out some typical ae synesthesia . wich shows that ae is def a singular experience.

    or I could say "he's been autechreised" :lol:

    ,also he feels seasick with dynamics (unterstand : movements) where I  feels appeased with it... typical reaction for a first listen  this needs accoutumance to enjoy maybe

    (...all what I said pretty obvisous to us ae addicts I guess)

    Balanced inputs really aren't necessary with line level signals unless you're dealing with LONG cable runs, and unbalanced can potentially sound better (also if you have to connect an unbalanced signal to a balanced input you lose either 3db or 6db compared to an unbalanced input).

    exactly .  and the 3or 6db loss is not a problem since you have gain control on the mixer input (-30db would be more a problem)

    Balanced OUTPUTS are pretty much mandatory on a mixer though, for sure.

    yes . especially if you directly feed a P.A. or powered speakers.

    unbalanced ouputs are ok if you can use DI boxes or balancing transformers, or if the wire are not  too long and magnetic envrionement clean enough.

    In theory, RCA is a better connector than 1/4" because the area of contact is bigger and the entire connector is shielded

    both RCA or 1"4 unbalanced jacks are usually shielded - with a more or less effective shield accodring to materials and quality,

    but they're equal on that point to me as far as we're talking unbalanced.

    I should have been clarified that the mixer I envision would have balanced 1/4" inputs.

    yeah balanced inputs options on DJ mixers you often don't have this. maybe on the fx return channels sometimes

    Why in the hell has Pioneer not made a true hybrid DJ/live mixer for clubs? Is there anything else they'd absolutely have to do beyond just adding 1/4" inputs for each channel (all channels can go Line level already)?

    and if you just use an jack - to - rca cable, this will work ok , doesn't it ?

    anyway I found out that pioneer mixers are  ok if you use digital pioneer player with it, but when you feed it with a pair of MKII or a synth or whatever, it's no good .

    the DA input converters are too crisp and too trebbly IMO.  allen & heath dj mixers do a much better job for hybrid dj / live setups. (IMO again)

    especially the ones wich have a full analogue signal path.

    it's really the raw translation from google translate,

    yes, I should have guessed indeed, because I realised   " ca vous faut une belle jambe " translated in "it gives you a nice leg"

    but this means nothing in english. a real human  traduction would say "you just don't care about it" 

    anyway , nevermind, as soon as it works for what you have to say in there. cheers.

    I decided to piss myself off writing in English on watmm, my English is too approximate and I always end up saying bullshit that I didn't want to say, and that doesn't even reflect my thoughts, just because I'm more concerned by writing grammatically correct sentences in English that really reflect what I have to say. From now on, all my posts will be written in French, my mother tongue, then translated into English by google translate. nothing to jerk off that google translate does not necessarily translate well, it will always be more faithful to my thinking than the stupid posts that I spend forever pissing me off writing, all for a result that systematically disappoints me. and FYI, I won't even bother modifying the google translations, moreover I won't even read the translations, I'll just copy and paste and basta. in short, here it is. you are made aware. it gives you a fucking nice leg, I know. Anyway, here it is, this is my first post written in French and translated by google translate. with that, long live the fresh ham and more for new adventures.

    either the google traduction is pretty accurate, or it's you making a joke and didn't used google translate at all.

    .... though ,i don't get the "long live the fresh ham" thing ?

    For myself, good, I hate getting vinyl in the mail when it's this hot outside...

    haha ! sure.  that's exactly what happened to me when I ordered "modern rave + rave hop + presents : amen andrew"

    the 12"s arrived in my metal mailbox while I was away for a few days. weather was really hot . I went : oh shit they gonna be melted !

    fortunately, they were just very slightly deformed, but allright. didn't alter the sound.  the fact that they were pakaged in thick cardboard + bubble wrap saved it from total carnage I guess.

    still, have to be carefull with orders in hot summer :happy:

  9. I never met S & R myself , but I went to an Ae show in france with friends, one of them worked at a local radio (very very small local radio),

    he asked Sean and Rob for an interview before the show, they said "yes okay !"

    I did'nt go backstage with him but according to my friend they where very nice dudes. they rolled a spliff and shared it with him during the interview.

    This was the untilted tour, 25 april 2005, city : Reims, venue : "la cartonnerie". very good sound system and acoustics.

    Great AE liveset. Rob Hall and SND were playing also.

  10. about those quaristice tracks : not shure if it was 100% renoise... It could be renoise along with a bunch of third party vst stuff or along with the elektrons...

    can't understand his english flow well enough sometimes :happy:

    Still reeling from the disclosure that a whole bunch of Quaristice trax (rale, fol3, fwzE and WNSN) were made using Renoise cause Sean didn't have a proper studio set up at the time.

    yeah I spotted that too. it got me in wanting to test this software. now trying the demo version.

    Really? It starts 23 seconds into the track. A female voice it seems, or something pitched up. All nice 'n chopped up.

    You sure you got the right track in mind?

    Edit: perhaps there's a mix-up in the track titles (on vinyl) and you have Second Scout in mind.

    oh... yeah right thanks. I did not have my records nextby at this moment, so I checked out "second scepe " on youtube  but it was mislabelled.

     

  13. Someone asked "what is the vocal sample being chopped up in Second Scepe ?"

    awnser : "I'm not telling"

    ...well I can't hear a vocal sample at all in Second Scepe. did I misunderstood the song title or what ?

    They basically made these tracks just to build up some chops on some new software they were using, in the intention to use it for the Sophie remix.

    From memory it was using an Ableton/Max for Live combo as his workflow .....

    yes, ...and, if I unsterstood correctly, also because for the remix they needed something that have a timeline behaviour, because their system don't.

    Here's the E-4's signal flow, you can pass the USB out signal through the processing pipeline, but with standalone operation you have only mic in.

    right, but so with the aira MX1 wich connects tu usb directly with other aira devices, you could send anything into it, aim i right ? ... well,this only if all  your MX1 usb ports are not busy so you can fit one more....

    anyway I would like to try this  because :

    Scatter effect 4 life, fight me

    yeah I like the scatter effect on MX1 / TR9, very handfull. (TR9 "roll button" page combined with scatter fx gives you very nice and quick -acsess rythm variations / breaks fills - perfect for a live situation. )

    you can feel some of sign / plus + nts + esleq base patch , all morphed in and out into a spooky scenario.

    ... and new stuff yeah ?

    thinking : about using the room acoustics as a whole instrulent i remember sean once said (AAA thread) something like : "yeah we have some recording of 2010 liveset that our f.o.h. tech did at the time, but he recorded a blend of the desk output and room mics, so we can't use it for a release" 

    but I personally think this would be the best thing to do for a liveset release, to mix proper desk output with a bit of room mics, so you have best of both worlds : the precision and tightness and details from the "dry" desk output, combined with the ambience and reverb / sustain that the venue acoustics brings to the thing.

    AAA thread also, he said something like : "2010 set was all dry (no reverb) nord drum stuff , because the venue / room will bring this reverb, so we just compose with how the room sounds like. (well, even if "edit - Rob has some reverb in the G2" he said)

    So yeah I thing it would be cool to make a live rec with this blend of desk out and room mics (high end ones, in the right place)

    (...though you'll have all those "wash your hands " , " tri reepetaaaeee" , "whhhoooaaah yaaaarrggh " , and "what is this plinky pong let's get out of here" casual crowd bits in it :lol:
