Haven't really listened to that album, I think I download a copy and see what it's like.

Right, like I could play a vinyl. Besides I will not be keeping the album since it is a RIAA label. I just wanted to see what his new stuff sounded like.

And if you really want to support him go to the clubs when he spins (which is what I am doing tonight).

You mean you can't even play vinyls?

Heretic! Blasphemur! :gj

:) Not quite that fanatic. CDs work for me... maybe if I had a house where I could do a more permanent setup, I would go with some vinyls. Since I live in an apartment and move about every year, I prefer to keep my possessions to a minimum.

I started myself off by buying a pair of cheap turntables and a simple mixer. It was belt drive but I did some modifications and made it direct. Ordered it out of a magazine, didn't really cost me much over $150 and allowed me to teach myself how to DJ without looking stupid in front of my friends. :)

I've now got a better setup of course, but if you do want to start that's my advice on what to get. Something resilliant that you can make mistakes on. Best to get all the silly mistakes over and done with on a junk system than on something decent.

Man, I would love to see Tiesto. But he only makes one stop in Canada (Toronto). Could have went this spring, just didnt have the $$$, and school got in the way.

As for the new album - Adiago for strings is the greatest Tiesto tune Ive heard. Traffic is great as well. Will have to buy this album (Given they sell trance in Prince albert)

Wish you all were there, Tiësto was absolutely thrilling. Not quite the level of the last show of his I saw but close. My only regret is that I forgot to purchase tickets and consequently had to wait in line for about an hour and a half.

Any tiesto event is worth waiting an hour and a half for.

Did you meet anyone interesting while you were waiting to get in?

I like him and listend to his stuff. I also liked Alice Deejay.. =) I think women just sound pretty in trance.

I think Alice Deejay is a bit cheesy, but yeah you're right girls sound angelic in trance. Especially when they add tons of echo effect. Reeverb is ok, but echo/delay is definately better.

I also quite like the female trance artists. Especially Suzy Solar, she's hot. (musically and uh... otherwise) :gj

Just listened to Tiesto's single 'Traffic' and not that impressed really, its a very basic track that doesn't really go anywhere. Although its better than all that euro shite in that its got a nice deep subby noise (maybe a reversed kick?), more housey than trancey. I have not heard him dj so maybe he's similar to the late great Tony De-Vit - his productions are not so good but his dj sets are mental?

It won't be a reversed kick, more likely an 808 kick with a slow attack envelope. Are you talking about the bass which is sequenced between each kick? If so it may just be a sub bass.

Can't have too much though. You'd have to be a miracle-worker with eq and volume mastering otherwise.

I like the |kick| |bass| |kick| |bass| |kick| |bass| |kick| bass arrangement. Using a kick with enough bass, the transition between the kick and the sub-bass should be totally seamless. I think that is what tiesto is doing - he isn't actually using bass under the kicks as well as in between, he's just using a really bassy kick.
