SwingDJs

I was thinking, and a better name for this music would be Jam music. Am I right? I have a playlist in iTunes that I've named "jams". Most of the songs mentioned in this thread are on that list. I never knew what separated those songs from the rest. I now have a more fuller understanding a...

This is an extremely tight and well rehearsed band. I like the way the guitarist keeps time by bobbing her head.

Mahalia Jackson! I'll have to listen to that one. Does it actually swing?

This link is a story about musicians wanting to extend the copyright protection from 70 years to 95 years. If they are successful will this affect the music that can be purchased? I ask this because a lot of the classic swing that I have is either from a foreign release or I bought it from someone o...

Haydn, What are your eq settings and what tracks (name, artist, album) did you play that sounded better?

Besides, I think the real limiting factor is the encoding rate on CDs ... at 16 bit / 44.1 kHz, there's some audio information missing, especially when you compress ... have you tried playing the unencoded wav files through the soundcards instead of the compressed files? Perhaps the soundcards are ...

However, I slowly gave in when I realized that much of my disdain for MP3 DJs stemmed from poor playback equipment, not so much from poor recordings. Using an external sound card instead of the internal sound card often made up the difference I had perceived. An external sound card is a must. By th...

Great! Now you tell me. I spent the whole afternoon yesterday looking through iTunes for this stuff. Just the same, I don't like the drm gorp that apple puts on its iTunes music. I probably won't have bought anything.

1. Understand the set up like the back of your hand. 2. Get there in plenty of time to change the set up as you want it. Brian :D Good advice. One thing I would add to this. Bring your own cables.

You can't go to Seattle without seeing Bud.

Another reason that I have not switched over to Traktor is the fact that your music has to be in mp3 format.

It might be hard to find a fast version of that song what with the lazy theme and all.

Can you imagine? Apple goes through all that trouble to protect the itunes music and then you can circumvent that by getting it free from some website.

Sorry mods, back to the regular programming. I like Sidney Bechet. Alot.
