If you really think your mixes sound too tight - have you considered building in some slight drift into your cue points? The cue points don't HAVE to be exactly lined up after all... ;-) With old tracks I find there's some natural variation anyway, cus the master is off of tape or something...

Essentially .. it would be nice to run an Ableton set with a turntable as a pitch control / play back direction device. I love playing tunes/loops via Ableton .. but I really miss the Dj interface for stopping / rewinding & pitching the mix. The rigidity of software - as it beat locks everything makes for a very clinical mix. The old 1's & 2's on a turn table created a very subtle but pleasing pitch shift every time you shifted tracks. .. And on the music tip .. I am enjoying sounds from: www.miga-label.org Animatek [Miga03] Capibara Tracks http://www.archipel.cc Tom Ellis [arch025] Letters http://www.interdisco.net Julius Lagerfeld [id19] konterkonzept ep .. And yea . if you just love podcast .. I am doing a new series over at http://psurkit.net called Beat Up. It's a microphone interview thing where I go around an talk to peeps about the scene. I am trying to use it as a device to engage discussion about minimal techno in my area (NZ) and reestablish some vibe for electronic sound! much love for 313 .simon ------------------------------- http://obscure.co.nz & http://psurkit.net ------------------------------- m. +64 275 606012
