vertical layout for lists . Since I'm trying to fit song title, artist, album, bpm, year, maybe some other information there, I don't think having the lists side-by-side will work well. Unless I make the fonts rather small, and IMHO large fonts are quite nice to have, too. I do agree that it's usef...

My opinion is definitely coloured by the software I currently use (Megaseg), but I do like this approach, and I'd certainly be interested in using it if I didn't have something that worked in a very similar way. Personally, I'd favor more vertical space in the lists - so I think I'd want the views t...

I hope so. Realistically, I think sooner or later the price changes will catch up with us. I just hope it's later...

Interestingly, their subscription model doesn't appear to affect existing customers. As people's plans expire, they are being forced to convert to the basic model or whatever it is called. Mine automatically converts next week. But, I know of another DJ that has until Feb 2010. It all depends on ho...

Interestingly, their subscription model doesn't appear to affect existing customers. I'm currently on a £15 ( around $24) a month subscription, and I get 90 downloads for that. If I signed up now, the same plan would get me 50 downloads for £18. On the other hand, I don't seem to be able to find any...

Have you noticed how Breakaway takes charge and produces a different sound, as if to say "this is how it's supposed to sound"? Oh - believe me - I have (for Breakaway, anyway - I'm unable to try VL). If I could use Breakaway on the Mac, I would, like a shot. Sadly, that ain't an option, s...

I've been playing with Hear on my Mac at home. I like the product, and the Jazz presets can make the music sound pretty good, with a bit of tinkering. But overall, I much prefer 'Volume Logic' for the iTunes on the Mac or 'Breakaway' for Windows for improving the sound of those late 30s Swing Era t...

An update on the Hear front - I had a chance to use it properly at the weekend, with a 1 1/2 hour set in Leeds. Negatives first - I didn't have this problem at the venue, but while doing some prep beforehand, it was a little tricky to get Hear to kick in, so until I was able to do that, the audio wa...

Just bought a nice little piece of audio enhancement software called "Hear" for my Macbook. http://www.joesoft.com/products/hear.php I have yet to use it "in anger" - first opportunity should come this w/e. I have however had a bit of a play with it - there's cables, a mixer, an ...

Good enough for me - thanks! Order placed.

I'm pleased to announce that "The Dream Team | Live at the Lindy Binge" has been made available once again, and at a reduced price: $8 (shipping, handling, PayPal fees all included) Please visit http://www.JiveJunction.com for further details and the direct PayPal link. Enjoy! Do you do i...

I also overplay 'Back Room Romp' (1937 Rex Stewart and His 52nd Street Stompers), because I love it so much I want to marry it, I'm trying to give that one a rest at the moment, for pretty much exactly the same reason. A couple more that I love to distraction are Pussy Willow (I use the one from th...

1. Mix up the music and the classes. Play music while they are coming in. Have gaps between the classes, and play music. You might have to shorten the classes to do this. Yes. 'Flow' is very important to us - we find it's crucial to keep the energy high at any kind of evening or event, and never gi...

Mmm. It occurs to me that in many ways, I'm in an ideal position to do something like this. I wonder if I have even the remotest chance of finding the time....

This has been on my mind for a while. Some background: We're a new scene, with two venues in neighbouring cities - one venue has been going for nearly a year, one for four months. There were very few experienced dancers in the area, so most of our dancers were new to Lindy when they came to us, and ...
