How many here record their own sets?

[BureOne]

Ive noticed many grab sets from the Promo's & Recommendations and it's all filled with well known dj from around the world etc.

but who here actually mixes and tapes their own on DAT or PC?.

I know many of us are just music lovers and dont actually mix or have the equipment for it. Maybe there should be another section for board member sets or something.

I do every once in a while but I have not recorded a set in a long time. Usually I just play for the heck of it and don't record it. I look at it this way it to hard to get gig around where I live and I don't have time to travel to gig. So I just play for fun in my bedroom.

I record most of the time when we (THM) play out.. but not always is the recording worthy of being put out for the public.. we use an iRiver

That's what I mean. I dont have any gigs or residencies. It's a fun hobby for me. I mix alot at home and like you said, every now and then I record something.

I would really like to listen to stuff from "regular joe" members here. See what each of our styles are and what not.

I record a lot of promos...well not a lot. I have recorded a few of my sets from my residency, but since I don't have an mp3 recorder, I use a minidisc to record everything with. So unfortunately I don't get an unbroken set to listen back to.

Re: How many here record their own sets?

well I'm looking to get one of those 1 gig or 512 meg Iriver recorders, I have a buddy who has a 512 and he can record a full 4 hour set on it. That's pretty cool to me. I just don't have an extra $90 to throw around right now.

Re: How many here record their own sets?

so then you understand how long it takes to put the stuff into the computer for editing. Oh how I hate waiting for that stuff to get done.

Re: How many here record their own sets?

I record straight into my PC using either SoundForge or Goldwave. No editing, just convert the .wav to .mp3 and delete the .wav. Thats it.

Difference between both programs for me is that Soundforge I dont have to set a time limit vs Goldwave; I need to give it a specific time length which sucks balls, i fall short or not enough time.

I just use my computer and an external soundcard to record...

Ditto.... Figure two shows a month for mercurysessions, one a quarter for xm and then the odd promo here and there.... throw it into soundforge and then master either with ozone or send it through the tc finalizer and wahlah.

I used to play out a lot in the 90's and early 2000, but Daytona went downhill after that and I don't feel like pushing myself to do gigs over in Orlando.
For a little background have a look @ http://techlogic.20m.com/custom.html
I also did a couple of sets on http://www.trancedomain.com/

I was going to post a few sets that I have done sometime soon, but just hadn't had any time. Also been sitting on a lot of Chris Fortier mix tapes from the early 90's that I have been trying to clean up and post for everyone. I still play and collect vinyl, but not as much as I used to.
