well the title says it all, 20-30 minutes of breaks any style. efx ok, no post production mix it how it is one take, but im sure some will cheat lol, must use decks to mix tt cdjs etc. no program to mix it for you. if you feel you are down for this then lets set a date and time!

I just pulled out a bunch of old late 80's early 90's breaks. I may give this a go.

Synergy

Old skool FL breaks vinyl battle :slayer:

@ Mrspyaman - If it's a Florida breaks battle, they will most likely be playing stuff like DJ Fixx (the older stuff), Huda Hudia, DJ Icey, Sharaz, ect...

@ Synergy - What needles where you using before? I bought M44-7's last year and they are great for DVS and scratching, but I think they sound like shit on regular vinyl. They're almost too loud and I think the mids sound muddy the highs sound harsh.

OP stated "breaks any style".

OP stated "breaks any style".

ortofon concord concord pro dj s' but they are oooolllld and the little tab to pull up the needle is gone on both mine. I think they sound pretty great on vinyl as well as dvs, was gonna spring for the white labels but I've had the 44-7's before and found them perfect.

Synergy
05-17-2012, 07:39 PM
vinyl only or cdjs according to rules.

djlotus
05-17-2012, 07:42 PM
It said "must use decks". DVS counts as decks. Using time code vinyl.

Synergy
05-17-2012, 07:49 PM

DMG Thanks I wasn't sure, hell I was gonna pullout some old west street mob and sleaze boyz.

No problem. Sorry for posting it twice, i hiccuped. Anyways i'm not to sure if that's the same DJ Icey, but i wouldn't bet on it.

Synergy
05-23-2012, 10:35 PM
ALL VINYL. I have a rough edit, no mixing after the 30 min mark. gonna record it tomorrow, my hearing is so bad i have to have the monitors up super loud otherwise i have to turn the headphones up super loud and I'm deaf by the third mix.

gonna be fun, hard fitting in what fl breaks should be in just 30 min. is gonna be fun, already taking trips down memory lane and it is awesome.


ROLLLLLLIN!!!! lol

Who exactly is participating in this battle? It's almost impossible to keep track of who is in it =s

Synergy
05-25-2012, 08:48 AM
i think its a 5 or 6 way right now, battle royal!!!!!

Synergy
05-25-2012, 10:01 AM
okay well here is the deal, i was unhappy with the way it came out, however, one shot, it is how it is. sooooo with that said...i am submitting!


fuck it, i had fun a shit, had chills in my body and it sounded okay to me lol, maybe ill re record it how i want it and save it as a mix :) CHEERS GROVER this was fun!

LESSON:
even though its a DVS, it is not vinyl. the little nuances in vinyl, the imperfect timing, warped records, scratches...all that affect your beat matching. records still rule and it is a skill that can deteriorate. i need to get back to the all vinyl game dammit. dvs is almost too perfect, it makes playing real vinyl different.

can't wait to see the other submissions! fuck yeah!

Synergy
06-03-2012, 10:48 AM
well i was gonna redo mine but...the rules stated one shot, so...thats what i did. its okay. i need to find a way to make my recordings LOUDER. when I burn them I have to crank it WAYYYY up on my radio.

djlotus
06-03-2012, 10:56 AM
I have the same issue. Usually I would just run a volume increase after I recorded it since I just record straight to Sound Forge and I can't have the input level up to much without clipping.

Synergy
06-03-2012, 11:06 AM
I've tried that it doesnt really work. i try normalizing maybe ill just hard limit within a few db of the peaks and then amplify to -0.1db instead of normalizing.
