Subject:RE: djing Reply by: lolyfe00 Date:2/3/2005 9:08:21 AM Pretty good actually. I do radio mixes as well as mix cds with it. The Beatmapper is works well and you can easily stretch tracks to get the blends perfect. A lot of other DJs I know use Vegas. They say it's easier than ACID but I've haven't yet taken the time to learn it. I've played around with it a little but never got very far with it. Hope this helps
Subject:RE: djing Reply by: djHSL Date:2/11/2005 1:53:19 AM BRILLIANT. I DJ two nights every week using Traktor, and EVERY track I have gets edited through Acid before entering my collection. ACID allows me to standardise the BPM ... no more fiddling between 129.1 and 129.2 ... and I have a couple of small utilities which populate my collection file direct from the ACID tag. I started with ACID Music Studio 5, but found that a must-have is the Wave Hammer plug-in. This is great for automatically managing volumes in mixes, or when extending a beat to liven up an otherwise boring break-down. I ended up getting a cheap copy of ACID Pro 4. Now, all my promo mixes are done with ACID, as well as occasional stuff I put together for radio, fashion shows, etc. I couldn't do my job without it.
