Recorded a mix with webcam and screen recording software!

After moving to a different setup (focussing on midi and digital audio) I also connected cams to record my movements. Not just to show how good my dancing skills are ;) , but mostly (and even more fun!) to show the things I do on the controllers, the mixers and my PC. Therefore I’m also showing the software so you can also see what I’m looking at on my screen!

I’ve uploaded a video testing this and it already looks great, although not perfect yet. But feel free to decide this for yourself!

DJTT Midifighter Notes Overview!

Midi Fighter from DJ Techtools with midi notes

Okay here we go, although this ain’t no rocket science, nobody will be saved and I won’t win any Nobel-prices, still this is so useful! Everybody would (should!) remember my posting about my Midifighter which is an awesome toy from DJ Techtools (know as DJTT:)). And as I did some remapping and copying of the Midifighter behaviour and ported its behaviour to the APC controllers from AKAI, people asked me to share those notes with them. Of course you can find out them yourself, but why don’t just steal them from me now, I don’t care;)

Enjoy it!

HouseQ – Pre-Party @ Energy 2011

Damn I need to pay same attention on saving my playlist when creating a set, because now I’ve an overview of all tracks, but no decent playlist (in which order they are played) for you. I could spent some time figuring it out, but hey, just listen and enjoy! You’ll probably recognize the tracks yourself!

This mix has been made for a small pre-party before going to Energy The Network 2011 (in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, The Netherlands). A huge event visited by many (also foreign) people, and I guess somewhere about 30.000 people in total dancing in three $$%$# amazing music areas. The party has been huge, this mix is to enjoy some of the feeling of that night;).

HouseQ – Qlub House (On The Move)

Today I’ve spent some time on making changes to my DJ setup. Main thing was to do some mapping on my DDM 4000 which will replace my old 5000FX which of course isn’t digital and/or midi-compatible.

This mixer combined with my APC40 + APC20 will unleash the controllerism beast in me and make sure I’ll be able to have the best experience on mixing, cueing, fx’ing and sampling! It might take a little while before the best mapping will be finished, but for now it’s usable and therefore I’ve created a new (‘test’) mix!

This mix contains 30 minutes of full house and club music of today’s charts! Check out the track, or download it in full lenght, from the Soundcloud link below!

HOUSEQ APC40 Mapping Overview v3.00

APC40 Midi Mapping v3.00 for Traktor

35

It is almost becoming an addiction to create the ultimate TSI mapping for the APC40. In the beginning I purely focussed on having a TSI on the APC which gives me additional options and makes more functionalities available next to my Reloop Digital Jockey II I own as well. But now I moved to a TSI supported the APC40 as a standalone deck featuring every hot function in traktor needed while playing the tracks!

I’ve created a whole new version of the TSI and remapped some old notes, so please check out the new image to be sure you understand the map.

Main Functions

Check out these main functions this mapping supports:

In short the main functions (the rest can be checked in the image map describing the mapping functions):

  • Full cueing options on 2 decks
  • Great loop functionality, including different loop lengts and relooping
  • 2 advanced fx units supporting delay, slicing, 8bar sampling and gater fx (don’t forget to use 2 advanced fx together and play with fx on fx3 while sampling it on fx4!)
  • 2 chained fx units supporting various fx’s with fx1 supporting cool sound fx and fx2 supporting beat-fx with delays (don’t forget to use 3 fx together, for example all fx on fx unit 4, which give you awesome delayed gater sounds while playing with the beatmasher as well!!)
  • dry/wet indepent per fx unit!
  • Xone 4 EQ supported on both decks!
  • Filter effect for both deck
  • and much more.. (volume faders, crossfader, auto grid-cueing on cue1 etc..)

The mapping keeps on growing but it is now already very grown up and good to use in every set. Be sure to check out the pre-conditions of this map (see image) to fully use the TSI including LED’s etc.
