SP-FORUMS

hello sp friends! i wanted to let you all know that i have decided to drop the name DJ Aerial and go by my nickname, zaxl.

some people here in southwest Ohio recently pointed out that another person from Ohio had used the name 'Ariel' a few years back (same pronounciation), and is still pretty ...

thanks for the PC advice fellas. i think a full reinstall is needed and i have an IT friend who can do it when he has time.
far as i know, the soundcard issue is unrelated. my PC is a Frankenstein made from leftover parts, so it wasn't a good sound card to begin with. to get the most of out of my ...

vocal samples as drums is cool as hell.

i got inspired by Roni Size the other day and made a DnB beat with samples of my own voice, recorded into the 555's internal mic. it kinda sucked but was a worthy experiment.

** a little off topic, but i should probably explain why i never post audio ...

awwww man. i only got 362 plays... which in reality is probably 2. and it was me looking at my new player haha!

for real, a 404 woulda been worth its weight in gold.

i get to use a computer at work, so no big deal, but i missed my Techs and my 555 dearly. it felt so good to see those blinking lights

Last Sunday we had a massive windstorm here in Ohio and my electricity was out for 8 days but It's finally back on, yay!!

I haven't spun records, made beats, played keyboard or electric guitar for 8 days and tonight it's on when I get home from work. Sheww! What a relief

The whole time I didn ...

i've been reading up on Nutmeg having psychoactive properties when ingested at higher doses. really long lasting and unique trip that im really interested in trying one day!

dude, nooooooooo!
using nutmeg to get high is in the same league as chugging Robitussin. it works but you really don't ...

DJ Aerial: I couldn't tell whether or not that was a joke...



no joke, i quantize everything. i like a lot of freehand stuff it's just not the way i usually work. i like to be able to drop my own homemade beats into a house set, and that requires reliable timing.
i know the sp line isn't ...

i quantize everything so i can beatmatch a house record to it

auto chop
and i really can do without d beam i dont use it does anyone here really use it??

yeah i use it a decent amount. more for the filter than the synth, but it's more powerful than people give it credit for. yes it's limiting to have a synth with only 8 voices, but the scale and key are ...

you can't go wrong with the industry standard- Sony MDR 7506

i've been rocking the same pair since 1997 and they still work perfectly. the ear pads are starting to wear out but they are replaceable.
every studio and radio station uses them because they're accurate and they can take a beating ...

their new album is streaming in full on MySpace

i struggled with quitting for over a year before i got there 100 percent. one thing i noticed is that when i would socially smoke one cigarette, or even take a few puffs from a friend, i would feel very irritable for the next few days.... which led to smoking another one... and more anxious feelings ...

sounds like an interesting setup! have you heard a of band called Growing? they're a guitar/laptop duo that might be of interest.

the internal mic is hella weak, but it's better than nothing. when i've used it i really had to crank the input level. haven't tried it for capturing sounds at a distance, i'm interested to hear that
