Here in Milton Keynes, it lasted about 3 or so seconds.

Wasnt like the earthquake a few years ago, that one I heard coming beforehand. But this one seemed louder, didnt hear it coming though.

Nor did my parrot. Made him fall off his perch!

Quote from lizardfolk :Did Jason Jarrett or Justin Labonte participate in touring car series aside from ARCA and NASCAR?

I was a bit confused with the name.

Just got their names on the front for the marketing, I think.

TOCA World Touring Cars. That's what Gamespot came up with for it.

Fun game. Not as good as TOCA 2 because WTC had no BTCC, but still fun.

Quote from Gekkibi :In other words, beat-mixing.

A bass-swap is one of the practices in beatmixing, yes. But this thread is about sorting out gaps in a ripped CDs playback, or putting them all into one track.

When not ripped as one whole track like in the method I posted above, your mp3 player, even if it claims it does seemless playback, will pause for a few ms, which as I said before, you don't want right after a bass-swap as it interferes with the "flow".

Imagine pressing Play/Pause twice quickly on your CDJ right after you've done a bass-swap, it'll sound funny. Your player is doing pretty much exactly the same as it decompresses the first part of the mp3.

I've seen a few Winamp pluggies in my time that have tried to decompress the first bit of the next tune, but they've all been really, really rubbish.

And Pioneer DJS is far better when you use a traditional mixer as an output and a DJ hardware controller to control the software

Another spliff, then bed.

Night!

Quote from Bob Smith :I thought modern media players supported gapless playback anyway? So if the music has no silence at the beginning/end of each track, you don't need to do anything to the files.

Some do. Sorta.

Seemless is never seemless. Winamp got close with its try, but there's still a tiny gap.

Annoying on a rip of a dance CD as the track usually starts on a bass-swap, right where you don't want a few MS of silence.

Quote from Gekkibi :Buy mixer and two cd-players and you can start mixing those songs together. :P

I recommend DJM-600 mixer and CDJ-1000mk3 cd-players.

Love my CDJ 1000 mk1's

OK, anyway, back OT.

Easy way is if they're MP3'd, decompress them to .wav using something like Winamp's Disk Writer plugin. Then in your sound editor (I'd recommend Wavelab for putting split mixes back together), load up track 1, and go to the very end of it. Then simply insert the track 2 .wav at the end, and continue.

If they're still on CDs, use Audiograbber. Go to the very last track, right-click and go to Track Properties. Where it says "Sectors", copy the value in "Last" and close that window.

Then right click the tracks, choose ""Select None", then recheck the tickbox for Track 1. Right click Track 1, go to Track Properties, and replace the value in "Sector" > "Last" with the value you copied from the final track.

OK it, then rip. Simple.

I'd say touring cars, but not the Aussie V8 ones.

ETCC/WTCC/BTCC sorta thing. FXO in FWD racing form would be superb.

I think Lotus/Caterham Seven for the LX's on that list is more then enough really.

Quote from troy :thats not exactly correct, of course they still belong to somebody but you can legally have them on your harddisk as long they are recordings of the radio, same thing like the tv tapes, your allowed to make recordings for your own pleasure but as soon you start selling (uploading in case of the sets) you will (can) be in trouble. at least the law is like that here in switzerland, coud be different in britain of course.

It's a rough area.

Not supposed to have it unless the copyright owner has granted permission, but you're not gonna have John Law kicking your door and possibly your teeth in just because you do

Quote from troy :screw the albums, go for livesets! they are more intense then a track could ever be and as long you do not upload them your also on the safe side if it comes to law enforcement (at least you should, unless it's totally different in your country). i do not listen to much to drum and bass but still have some artists that i quite like to hear now and then: aphrodite, dj marky, shroombab, bailey, kosheen and some others i probably forgot or already named earlier in the thread

Livesets come under exactly the same copyright rules then single tracks. They're owned by someone, usually the station relaying it (Essential Mixes are property of BBC, for instance) or the DJ themselves.

But they also belong to every artist who appears on said liveset if they're credited for it officially.

Same goes for any DJ who records a mix themselves, they belong it, but if they give out a tracklist, all the artists who appear on that tracklist also have copyright on it.

</boring stuff>

Quote from Töki (HUN) :I've tried to search for Pendulum albums on several __that__ kind of sites, but only old albums, or single tracks can be downloaded
I won't give upStill have lots of artist you all mentioned to look for

"Those" sort of sites aren't very good for grabbing music really.

I won't mention a decent program to use that has shedloads of electronic music on it, but it's vastly better then using torrents.

Aaaah, D&B.

Few producers I play myself (I don't play D&B too often) are DJ Hazard, DJ Hype, Wickaman, Phantasy & Shodan, Noisia, J Majik, Hoodlum, Shy FX, Total Science.... blah blah blah.

Try some of Pendulum's work with The Freestylers. Good fusion of London breaks and Aus/UK D&B

The plate is a restrictor. Whack it out.

My little 125cc had one in the carb and they were never built to have them. Ran much better without it in.

Not sure about 50cc 'ped engines. I only know the NSR125 engine. Can't imagine they'll be much different, but meh.

I'd personally say it's a jetting problem. But check the sparkie is good and your air/fuel screw is turned to where it should be.

When running it in, keep it at a very sensible RPM for about 200 odd miles. Big pain in the arse, but you'll have a good running 2st engine until it pops again.

*re-reads some posts*

Don't pin it. It'll be poor above a certain speed because it's all new.

Ride it like a granny with 1 gammy eye and a false leg. Otherwise you'll just kill it and it'll run like a bag of spanners for half the time it would if it's run in nicely

My style all depends on what and where I'm driving.

In the "road" cars, I brake slightly early, and I like the back end to slip out a tiny bit on corner exit.

In the GTR cars, I prefer it to slide as little as possible, slow and smooth around hairpins and nice, smooth gearshifts down to help me into tricky corners. I also seem to use a lot of coasting to get around hairpins, like the ones at AS3.

I'm pants in the single seaters, so I stay away from them

The start of the opening line reminded me of "Elton John - Candle in the Wind", and the choir section made me think of a Bond theme tune for some reason, heh.
