MemberYeah,why not let the fanboy run? You love music after all don’t you? And LOUDER is better. x) just dont hurt your ears

I guess sometimes a song is good but not so capable of fitting in many sittuations, and therefore you might consider it bad…Maybe I’m really asking about guarding against your inner fanboy in your music selections. Being a genre fanboy might not be a bad thing, but I notice when I’m listening to one genre for a while, I tend to like it a little more. So I might pick a mediocore filter disco track because I was listening to lots of soulful house.
I think it depends of what you are looking for and what you like and/or maybe need.(just my point of view).
I try not to retract my “inner fanboy”. In my case that is what makes the definition of my sound, i dont look for genres so much, i usualy listen to artists, those artists look for other artists, and so on. A track that pleases you but does not please as many people as you think hasn’t necessarily to be bad.
Maybe it’s about defining what you hear and like, and in which context it might fit.
Take a look at Nicolas Jaar Essential Mix Show on BBC1. It’s up on SoundCloud.
I believe i had never seen e set list like that, simple yet tight. On a radio show so widely listened.
Maybe it’s not a “mix” for everyone, but i still love the way it delivers a variety of flavours.
I don’t believe that mix would do very well in many clubs, or party’s.
Being broad works for me. Listening to local radios helps me getting a feeling for what other people might be hitting on right now, Live Sets and mixes also helps. I usually listen more than once, and when some track starts “making sense” to me, I try to look it up on google or YouTube as it might give a longer preview of the track (that isn’t a crime is it?). Sometimes it’s some guy i never heard of, sometimes it’s some “famous star”.
Sometimes i also only download mixes for personal listening, and sometimes i just listen to other artists, like pop, Rap Rock, some Stitched up dubstep remix…As the song says “Music is the answer”. =D
And that’s how it works for me.August 11, 2012 at 1:02 pm in reply to: Sounds great in the club, crap after the download . . . #1009525MemberHi there Reason808
I’ve stumbled uppon that “problem” too many times..
But in the end, i thougt that it didn’t mather that much, it’s just that those tracks you bought under a certain mood are not bad… There ain’t no bad music (not literaly speaking, of course there is bad music… ya know :x) theres only people who say so.
What should mather is that that those tracks mean something to ya… like when you were feeling really “down” and the track/song gave some of it’s “energy” so to speak…
And when you get that feeling again, and it will happen, that track will rise up on you again to make you feel better…
Dont just think about it for the club… music is a pretty much “personal” thing i believe…Don’t know if you get what i’m trying to say, don’t know if what i wrote has something to do with what you were sayin’, but tell me if you need me to explain better.
Just trying to help people ya know.
1 Love brotha

400$$$??? 400$ +??? So i guess nowadays when you buy an i-phone or an ipad you are only paying for the “Screen-Estate”… LOL
Sorry if i sounded rude, that was not the point.Regards

Don’t think of it as giving it away, think of it as having NI write the code for you and turn your idea into something tangible that you and everyone else can actually use, and NI gets a better product. Everybody wins.

NICE GUYS!! Ill post my idea here later for you guys… i just want so bad to see it and use it in traktor…
But as i said it is not a big improvement or something… i just needed to hear what you guy’s would do..Memberthe reason i didn’t post it was that… i was not thinking about a patent, just something that would registrate the concept as mine.. i know a patent would be costly, and (i am ashamed of it) my idea is not a BIG, Major upgrade…
It is just a tiny thing that could simplify (maybe not the right word) our playlisting inside traktor.
My thougts were: “Well, those guys from NI don’t give anything away to us, why should i give them my concept and help them make make without asking something in return?”
I don’t want to look like an egoistic asshole who only thinks about himself… i am nothing like that.
And i am even more ashamed to tell about my concept as you guys/gulls maybe wont find it that surprising or special for me to start thinkin about selling it… i just had to know your thoughts on this paradox of mine..
Well, maybe ill just give it away for them to incorporate to traktor and we all beneficiate from itHope you all understand and maybe dont judge me as an egoistic prick… when maybe two or 3 peeps reply to this i will post the ideia and then run to NI.
King regards to y’all

It’s a lot to take in, very overwhelming at first but if you take it one step at a time it all starts to make sense. It’s difficult to say how long it took for me to become comfortable with it. I guess I’d say I spent the better part of spring learning and messing about. By the time summer hit I knew enough to throw together a decent song from scratch.
And no I don’t use MIDI keyboards, but I would like to. Money just doesn’t permit it at the moment so my keyboard will have to do.
Sorry, but 50 buck you get a LPK25… that should be enough… that is my next acquisition…
Keep it
