SwingDJs

I recently heard great recordings of Alice Spencer singing Bye Bye Blackbird and Ain't Misbehavin. I'm not sure if she was singing with the Victrola band or some other project. Anyway, I can't find the recordings at any of the usual places. Does anyone here know where I might be able to find those h...

Does anyone have this working? Years ago, I tried to install it to re-make the swing-i-fied version of "Every Breath You Take" for a music class I was teaching, but I couldn't get it to work, alas.

Can that be addressed via software/drivers? or is it a hardware thing? Native Instruments claims its a hardware problem with Intel's chips that support the USB3 protocol. Its been ongoing for over 18 months (and the NI bulletin boards are full of complaints), so I suspect that if the problem was so...

I used the prior version for several years and really enjoyed it... but it appears that the new version did not fix the problem that it works only with USB2 ports, not USB3 ports (see http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-audio-interfaces/traktor-audio-2-mk2/specifications/). Many...

JRiver for me. I tried Media Monkey, but it just didn't seem to agree with me.

Eww, remysun. Give me back those 2 minutes of my life. On a happier note, I've had some success towards the end of the night playing the below. (Some of these) I'm not knowledgeable to know if they are considered "real" electro-swing or merely electro-influenced. But (IMO) they are all dan...

I recently bought a Xonar U3 USB. It retails for $40, which seems cheap enough. I noticed an immediate improvement over my Acer Aspire 1810TZ, which supposedly already had a decent chip. Review here: http://techreport.com/articles.x/21256

I'm looking to upgrade from iTunes because latest versions are ridiculously slow. I don't need a lot of features. I think I need: * Compatibility with iTunes playlists and tags (and some kind of "smart" playlists would be nice) * Ability to preview through separate audio channel * Difficul...

Can't quite make out the lyrics well enough to google. Hopefully somebody can recognize:

Thanks

Also: "Inner City Blues" by Marvin Gaye ("Rockets, moon shots; Spend it on the have nots; Money, we make it; Fore we see it you take it"). Marvin Gaye is not swing, but Carla Cook does a great bluesy swinging cover. In country-swing, there's "Income Tax" by Dub Adams, a...

Ignore the odd video

How are you currently synching between desktop and laptop? Lipi's suggestion of using an external drive is probably the most commonly used method.

To date, I haven't been syncing my laptop and desktop; I've been DJing from an iPod. Sounds like there's not really a great method

Hi all, I just started DJing for our local scene in Hong Kong more seriously, and I'd like to start DJing from a laptop instead of my iPod so that I can review BPM, switch around music, etc. However, my music collection is way too big to fit on my laptop hard drive. Plus, I need to continue to use m...

Not very dance-able, and indeed not very PC, but "Hong Kong Blues" by Hoagie Carmichael. I play it occasionally here.
