tomorrow I'm buying a Boss DS-1 for my Juno.

if you're looking at CDJ's go for the pioneer. pretty much industry standard now. the 800's are fine for home use.

the Behringer BCD2000 I have no experience of but I don't fancy mixing on those jog wheels. plus Behringer's build quality is usually pretty shoddy. they are however very good at attracting legal action by copying the designs of their competitors.

depends which way you want to go. if you want to use a lappy you have more options open to you. but I think there are probably better controllers on the market. cdj's are more specific

what about final scratch/traktor etc?

My friend's dad is the president of Behringer, so I get a lot of free stuff (such as a guitar)

could you get me a BCR2000 ? :D

(^^^moi aussi)

Well, I got that idea when I saw that man looping a track with this behringer mixer on youtube: http://www.youtube.c...related&search= , nothing special I know. I thought it looked quite ok. Well I'm not gonna dj, and with cds not at all ;-), but i thought it would be more handy to have an analog/digital device to loop and mix tracks by hand.

out of my divorce settlement i got the following

2 x sl210 mk5 - allen & heath ozone32 mixer - event TR8 monitors - behringer comp/gate - alesis comp/gate - tc electronics fx unit - 3 x behringer patch bays - korg emx1 groovebox - korg legacy collection c/w ms20 controler - cubase sx3 upgrade to cubase 4 - korg micro kontrol - delta 10/10 soundcard - new 64bit pc - 2 x 19" tft's - mackie 12/2 vlz mixer - ive added this to the gear i allready own - akai S3000xl sampler - roland JP-8000 keyboard - makie 16/4/2 vlz mixer - absolute moniotrs - samsom studio amp - various stienberg software halion2 - dpole - wardorf ect that was in the 20year anniversary pack - other various free sortware from differnt mags

funny thing is i dont get the time to use stuff much cause of work and my lil son,when ive swap bedrooms around with lil lad im hoping to get back to work with my gear,im just not looking forward to reconfiguring the patch bays :S

In the meantime, why don't you give me all that stuff ? :D

ermm... took me 10 years to get rid of the bitch, so unless you wanna be my new bitch i cant mate sorry..

opps forgot my old novation basestation rack module..

ben_j do you want to be his bitch, that korg emx1 groovebox makes a great coaster?

Biff I have a Boss DS-1 and plugged my Juno 106 into it. But the sound I get is very weak. What should I do to get a proper phat distorded sound a la Daft Punk ?

Well you have 2 choices. I used to use a DS-1 on my first synth, a Jx-3p which I regret trading more than anything ever!! It works well on that cause the sound is thing and not too bassy. But for a juno, that's a new story.

I used a electro-harmonix big muff and man that was fuckin fun! They're not too expensive and they get bass better. think the chems might use one, I'll go into more details and "schools of though" later cause this is my favorite thing to do (distortion + poly synths) - but my roommates going out to surf and I need to race the tide as they say

okay thanks :D

I pushed the level of the Juno on my mixer. It's a bit better now but there's some noise. In fact I'm a bit disapointed because it doesn't sound so much better than FL Studio's distortion...

Done my first cool thing with that orange thing :P

http://myspace.com/sbrk "Dogs" arpeggiator Juno 106 on Boss DS-1 distortion + some effects (phaser, flangus...) + Reason ReDrum

ok I've returned

that sound really cool, that's a good noise you got out of the juno with the distortion. definitly the volume on the juno is key to getting that distortion up or over.

I play guitar and have several distortion pedals, I might try running them through my ms2000 or polysix, my guess is a metalzone followed by a tubescreamer will make a rich sound, that's what i use for guitar, i run a boss bass-synth pedal through it and it sounds soooo sexy, I'll try posting mp3s of my combos tonight or tomorrow

could you post demos with the big muff too ? I'd like to hear what it sounds like on a synth (if you can run juno-style sounds on it, you would be my hero)

Ben_J: could you get me a BCR2000?

1. i would have to ship it

2. right now, hes in iraq (not the president, my friend (his son) )

Guys, just to let you know, the BCD is pretty crap. The software that comes with it is pretty buggy, and it uses some weird midi stuff so getting it to work with Traktor properly is never going to happen. You can use it with traktor, but the jog wheels don't work properly. Oh, and the tempo sliders only use 128 values, so it's pretty hard to get stuff perfectly in time. It jumps from like 120.0 to 120.4 in one step!

BCR and BCF on the other had, I've got 2 BCR's and one BCF, and I couldn't do without them (especially live) :D

Well 8% divided by 128 : 0.6% It seems pretty accurate to me...
