Sunrise, MixOne » Strictly House Music

dattrax mini bio part 4…DAT: “Now I buy mp3s, and then convert to wave with SONY SOUNDFORGE, then burn to cd, so that I still am close to a physical way of playing my music, almost like vinyl, but not as heavy. Only put one to two tracks on a cd, to mimick vinyl selection. Remembering carrying three crates of records to gigs in the old days. I don't think that I can keep a groove playing from a laptop- too many choices. Haven't heard a kick-butt DJ that played from a laptop either. Still the guys who've thrown down vinyl, then cds. When I begin a set, there is a whole ritual (I'll explain sometime). In general, I'll say to myself 'what am I in the mood for?', then go through 500 tracks and pick 100 or less. Pick the first song. The speed/ tempo and start mixing. If it has more than two mistakes, I just toss it or now delete it. If I buy from ITUNES, then I have to make a playlist, burn to cd, extract from cd from Soundforge. It's annoying, but I think Apple ITUNE files are some weird proprietary thing that you can't move around like a normal file. That’ll probably change because they adapt so quick.”BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don't you buy us a beer? There's a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website.
