Does Good DJ == Good Dancer?
From the "Which Came First, The Chicken or the Egg" department... Does somebody have to be a Good Swing Dancer to be a Great Swing DJ? Can a non-dancer develop an ear for what makes a dancable song? A lot of times when I'm out dancing, somebody will play a piece which would sound GREAT if ...

If the goal is simply an average tempo, then a single time measure (1 second precision) and a count of the number of measures (or 8's) (4/8 beat precision) over the entire song or sufficient duration (32 beats?)would probably yield a better result than a tapping style beat counter. I agree with Dav...

Any recommedations for a freeware manual BPM counter for Mac OS that lets you tap every 2 bars or something like that? I whipped up the following Quick-and-Dirty shell script that lets me hit 'Enter' at the end of every 8-bar Phrase (32 beats, four sets of eight, whatever...) It does it four times ...

Re: How do you store CD spindles at home?
I've got small living quarters. I have a collection of CD spindles, some of which are backups that I never use, others of which I pull something out of rather regularly. I admit this sounds like a crazy idea, but get some peg-board -- you know, the brown stuff with lots of holes in it for little me...

We played LPs for years and still do and no one agonized like that except the 'sound nuts' because none of it *mattered* beyond theory. If you're talking about LISTENING to music, hell, use whatever you can get your hands on; as soon as it's hit your ears, you'll never hear it the same way again. I...

Most pro DJs shy away from M-Audio soundcards. For instance, I had a Firewire Solo which got freaked out by frequent plugging / unplugging / sleeping / waking / rebooting, etc. -- all the things laptop users tend to do a lot. The only way I could get it to work reliably was to shutdown my MBP, plug...
