TSI Mapping from Youtube movie
Jul 29th
Sorry guys (and girls 
) but I’m slow sometimes in posting what I’ve promised to post. I’m creating some cool mappings in Traktor for 2 deck and 4 deck plays. Including tons of effects to be used, even effects over effects. Some of the ideas have been stolen from the mapping for the Midi Fighter I own as well (see djtechtools.com from more info on that).
Anyway, that’s not the info you came for. You wanted to have the TSI from this Youtube movie:
Notice that this TSI is not finished at all, but to give you an impression check out this file:
HouseQ APC 40 Mapping v5.44 (2D – Dumb Mode)
Please make sure you’ve set your APC40 into dumb mode, check out how on my vid on Youtube. Also make sure you have 4 effect banks available for max use of the effects. Effects 1 and 2 must be chained, effects 3 and 4 must be advanced. Also I suggest to set effects on unit 1 and 2 to delay/reverb and filter, and effects on unit 3 and 4 will be switched automatically.
I will not give you support on this one, as this is old now. But I just wanted to make sure you had the TSI from this movie. Another more advanced 2 deck will follow soon!
New HouseQ logo!

Ordered my Midi Fighter today!
Jul 4th
Today I received an email from the guys (I’m sure there only guys in there, no girls on the vid’s sofar ) from DJ Techtools that there own customized controller called the ‘Midi Fighter’ is available for order from today!
Although I’m currently finding my way through all my controller stuff in my ‘dj room’ at the moment, I cannot resist having the great custom DIY midi beast myself! Therefore I decided to order this piece of creativity and designed my own custom fighter as shown above!
I ‘ll have a wonderfull black casing and a shiny see through plate, this way no dust will gather itself around somewhere within my controller, but thanks to the transparant plate you still see the beauty of what’s inside! The finishing touch is by using the 16 arcade style white buttons which make this a real black & white beast. Hopefully those led’s are gorgeous blue which will make the beast even more gracious!
Check out the controller yourself at their shop and customize your own favorite color! I hope to have mine somewhere end of this month (I’m ordering from Holland, they are shipped from LA, USA). More pics will follow then it’s in!
Free Ableton Livesets
Jun 23rd
This week I discovered the website of Tom Cosm. I have no idea who this is (probably a DJ from Australia), but he made the biggest and best instruction movies for DJing with Ableton!
I checked his website which contains a big pile of information about using Ableton, DJing with Ableton, creating sounds with Ableton Live and much more.

Playing around; HouseQ – Piratez v3
Mar 9th
Even more crap is coming out, YES it’s time for another try-out song. This time I’ve covered the Pirates of the Caribbean tune and used some cool synths along with a simple bassdrum. The result is just anottrack to get some feelings with the software and the tunes.
So far so good, get it now HouseQ – PirateZ v3
First try-out; HouseQ – CloX
Jan 18th
Whooooot it’s finally happening! Turning from Fasttracker in 1994, using modplayer, Amiga crap and other crappy non working home studios. Finally old Tha’Deejays freakin’ idiot brings out a magic sample release.
Yes, you’re right, that piece of info was about me, HQ ! Although it might not be huge, big, interesting, innovative or whatever you should expect from a track in 2010, I MADE IT MYSELF!
I’m talking about the freakin’ sample from Coldplay called clocks which I next to play it fully on a piano myself, but also converted into a nice trancy mp3 sample with a simple beat. Don’t expect the best but feel free to check it out. Download the HouseQ – CloX mp3 now!
I’ve used FL Studio to create this piece of art using the Alpha Free VST reviewed shortly somewhere on this site! I’ll get back to you on the FL Studio software. But for now it’s CloX time!
See ya!
Alpha Free VST
Jan 18th
The first review/check won’t be a biggie. Why should we talk so much about stuff while we can experience and play with it ourselves?
This VST is from LinPlug Virtual Instruments and although they selll more VST, this one is for free! Everybody who needs some custom VSTi to start with (because the free ones that came with your software suck), download this crazy piece of fake hardware and start trancing, clubbing and making awesome basslines.
Get the download at the website of LinPlug itself to be sure that you’ll download the latest version!

HouseQ is becoming a space to show off some stuff created by myself. Maybe nothing interesting, maybe nothing new, but if you love music, probably you only care about checking the tracks, vsts and software. So that’s what will be on this site.
So I’ll share my experience since I’m a newby in producing music, but not in music itself. After DJ’ing for many years (nothing big though), I now also want to create some stuff. Just for fun and feel free to join me in this ‘musical exploration’ (blah blah).
See ya!
