ParadoxVincent is PICASIO PICASIOHey everyone.
I've been suuuuuuuuper unactive. Practically nonexistant. But it's all because of this! myspace.com/picasiopicasio My DJ MySpace. Under the name PICASIO PICASIO I just got the TorQ XPonent MIDI Controller and TorQ Program by M-AUDIO. It's basically a digital representation of turntables on your computer and a controller that is basically a representation of the TorQ screen. Kind of confusing if you haven't dabbled in Audio or Computer Music. But on there (and hopefully on another website soon) I'll release remixes, mixtapes, original songs etc. etc. I'd LOVE it if you'd all add the profile and listen to my mixes. I'd love the support. So thanks OLR! I'll update sometime soon. Song details Buffet Mix 1, Buffet Mix 3 and Protected are all mixtapes Tomorrow Never Ever Knows is a DJ Shadow vs. The Beatles Mashup. Blue Light (Gargle remix by PICASIO PICASIO) is a DEMO TRACK of a remix. The song is originally by Bloc party. It contains samples of Treach Battle Beat by DJ Shadow. It is NOWHERE near finished.
It's not advertisement. I'm planning to update this thread and discuss music with all of you, etc.
It's more of an artist's thread.
Eh, it's an OLR listener talking about stuff he does, I think it's okay.
I just tossed you an add Vincent, I'm listening to OLR and working on my own music right now so I'll check your mixtapes and such later on. What do you think of that Xponent? I've been looking at them for a while but I'm not too familiar with DJ work and I'm not sure how well something like that would work out. Do those little dials work for turntablism, or is it designed for more traditional DJ playback and mixing (beatmatching, etc)? Do you use that to play your shows, or do you have a traditional vinyl setup? I love weird looking music controllers :) Hey, is that a RADIAS I see in your picture? I'm jealous!
Hey everyone!! I've updated the page. I removed most of the songs and put up a new song from my Wavedash album called (888) 477-5594. And yes that's a real number, yes you should call it, and yes it's video game related. Some of you might even know what it is (keep it a secret hahaha).
@ WarriorBob. I think XPonent is awesome. But NOT on Leopard. I love it to death but M-Audio is being lazy as hell with the new drivers. Partially because with a little luck and some personal tech support, it actually works fine on Leopard, well, kind of fine. There are some weird problems, random stops and sometimes I have to restart the computer to get it to work. But hell, it worked fine on Vista and will probably work fine when M-Audio actually says it's alright for me to run my program on the computer I have XD The jogwheels have touch sensitive surfaces that will work for scratching and turntablism. In fact, with the killswitch like crossfader buttons, you can crank the crossfader to Deck B and tap on the Deck A Killswitch to cut in Deck A's sound. You can easily do flares and stutters this way. Everything is super smooth and super loose, perfect for turntablisms. But honestly, I didn't buy this for turntablism, even though I do quite a look of it. It was auto beatmatch which is nice for when I see song and want it playing in mere seconds. it also has a simple auto repeat, which is a LIFESAVER for when I want to spin bemani music, because I can take those 1:50 long songs and turn them into 5:00 club hits simply by repeating every couple verses a few times. So XPonent is mainly designed for beatmatching and for that it is GREAT. I learned it in one night, honestly. It's all about the music. Well when I spin I use XPonent and (you got it!) the RADIAS. I'm also grabbing a sample controller. But as for performing live, I don't yet. Hahahahaha. But so far it's just me and Ableton.
Sorry to hear it's being a pain on Leopard. It'd work fine over here, I run Vista and Tiger myself. Of course, I run Tiger and not Leopard because I am a cheapskate, so of course I probably won't drop the case on an Xponent anytime soon, although it looks very cool and I'd love to learn to spin. Too much other music stuff I want to buy.
Thanks for the detailed review though! Definitely helpful to me if I ever get serious about it. I just listened to (888) 477-5594. Neat song! Threw me off at first with all the distortion in the beginning but then the Mario part came in and I just couldn't not like it. Nice crunchy mixup of sounds. I haven't called the number yet. Also hooray for Ableton. What kind of sample controller are you getting? Is it a MIDI controller/surface or is it like a full on sampler? Sampling is another technology I'd like to learn about.
