Is there any reason you need to have 2 audio interfaces? I’m curious as to what you are trying t do.
I’m guessing you are connecting into 4 channels on the main house mixer, though I can’t imagine what you are doing with that setup 🙂I’ve considered getting another K1 and using X-Link.. it seems more efficient and frees up a USB slot, but I like to mix internally and use 1 layer on the K2 as volume/EQ/loops controls etc.
If stems can be used with K2 I may consider upgrading my OS so I can update my Traktor to the latest 🙂
EDM lyrics are hardly intricate 😛
Maybe you would be better off writing pop songs and rap songs? These are more lyric based and there are lots of songwriters about. 1 hit can make you. Pop singers are more likely to sing other’s written vocals than rappers, but that’s a credibility issue, we all know Dr Dre didn’t write his own lyrics on The Chronic butdoes anyone care anymore ? I think not.And DJ Vintage, my Dutch friends told me pretty much all popular non-Dutch songs get their own Dutch language version… I lived with a Flemish guy who would play Party Squad a lot…I saw some Dutch rap act in Amsterdam a while back, but sadly I only know a few words in Dutch, back then almost nothing… The DJ of the night, Flexican, seems to have gotten more fame since then though.
Fair enough. I guess I’m used to London clubs which seem to handle this better, many times having the actual dance floor underground, which I kinda miss in Spain. I’ve only been to 1 place where 1 of the dance floors is underground.
The outdoor clubs have obvious noise leakage and there are always people in the crowd asking for the volume to be turned up, but depending where it is, usually there is some kind of limit, or it can be a public nuisance and shut down.
I guess the flipside for people with a lack of money is that you can be just outside the venue with your own drinks and still hear the music, but of course these are usually commercial venues and people who go there are more into being seen, VIP etc rather than there for the music 😛
I learned on vinyl and on student radio, the first thing was always to set levels correctly, and also so both sources have the same volume – software does it with autogain, so people forget, but I’d think for CDJ users this should still apply? I would always first go to the “meat” of the new song and make sure it matched volume with what was playing live already by setting the gain after looking at the VU meters, then cue it up.
