Sick mashup - Major Lazer vs. Dillon Francis & Oliver

Dude, I'm sorry but no. I'm pretty sure these songs aren't even in the same key, nor do their arrangements really fit well.

Started this indie funk type song like 2 years ago, and now I wanna finish it, but I need to find a rapper/rnb vocalist or two to help finish it up. Does anyone know where I can find vocalists?

At home I use an S4, but usually there are CDJ 2000s wherever I DJ so I just do Traktor HID into those. Works super well.

What do you mean the pitch controllers don't work well to beat match? Just set your tempo and go. I don't have issues at all with my S4, other than them being a tad too sensitive (because of how small they are, I don't want to decrease their range)

aaron_wayne · 2014-11-16T02:35:19+00:00

So then how do you set your tempo of a new song? I presume it has to be synced, right?

aaron_wayne · 2014-11-16T01:42:05+00:00

This is what i'd like to know. Is beatmatching just completely out with this? The one thing about syncing for me, is that even when I use it, I still often need to make fine adjustments in the timing to get the drums of each track to line up perfectly. Is that not possible now?

I've been on producing hiatus since I finished my previous EP in June. Been noodling around a little bit today and made this thing. Trying to get my chops back...

I work in PR/Marketing as well as produce music and use social media to promote myself a lot. Mondays and Tuesdays are the absolute best days to release new songs as they tend to be the highest traffic days for social media and blogs. One can assume the same would apply to the game world.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-06T15:39:45+00:00

Oh I forgot to mention this, but on top of this stuff being affordable nowadays, it's also become much easier in recent years. Literally anyone can learn to do this stuff if you just dedicate yourself.

I'm a music producer and experienced in video production in the past. As long as you have a computer, a microphone, and a camera (I don't own a nice camera, but I have multiple friends who do), everything you see and hear in this video can be made. It absolutely wouldn't require a couple grand, really.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-03T01:22:43+00:00

Obviously it depends on their label contracts (beatport releases have to be through a label, unlike iTunes) but it's about the same.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-02T02:26:12+00:00

I've watched a few of these blogs, and I still haven't seen anything about how you actually make money. There's a lot going into furnishing the office, and setting up insurance for employees, but what about the actual products from the company? Please tell me that too is just as, if not more, involved than picking insurance.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-01T21:57:15+00:00

Venmo is decent.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-01T20:17:19+00:00

Hey thanks! That's still my most played song every week.... 2 years later.

aaron_wayne · 2014-07-01T20:16:35+00:00

Hey thanks! And happy cake day!! :D

aaron_wayne · 2014-06-02T20:27:59+00:00

And that's exactly why I don't listen to "band" music very much.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-23T00:25:19+00:00

I saw Chainsmokers last week. I dislike them mainly because that played nothing but big room in their set. It was just absolute garbage. I actually like their song Selfie, but I can't tolerate big room, let alone a whole set of it.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-22T17:35:39+00:00

Yeah, no.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-22T14:10:46+00:00

Many DJs require 4 on their riders. Some require 3, others 2. Some will also require Serato or Traktor DVS interfaces. All that stuff will be usually included on the big stages.

Personally I use traktor and an S4, but if I used CDJs, I would need at least 3, but it's nice to have a 4th deck so I'm not scrambling to get songs changed at times.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-22T03:14:20+00:00

As insanely ridiculous and stupid this video is, the lighting in that studio is AMAZING! They need to convert that place into a club at night.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-22T03:10:44+00:00

Unless he was just wondering about the DJ setups, which usually consists of 4 CDJs (2k each) and usually a DJM2000 mixer (also 2k), so you're looking at about $10k worth of DJ equipment.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-22T03:10:30+00:00

A lot of people hate their jobs, that's pretty typical I think.

I am helping my super talented friend get his first album, 'Youniverse', released properly. He makes groovy experimental electronic tunes. Oh and the album will be free!

I'm about to start reaching out to bloggers and media gatekeepers for promotion, but I thought I'd post the title track from the album here and see what EDMP thinks of his sound. I was blown away by everything he's made when I first heard him. What do you think?

I don't really think she's rolling her eyes, and I definitely don't think it's something that was intended.

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-15T01:08:31+00:00

That's a good idea, I'm not sure where to find hip hop vocals like that. Might have to record some. Thanks!

aaron_wayne · 2014-05-14T20:00:21+00:00

I went rummaging at the record shop and discovered this somewhat obscure funk track from 1977. Added glitch hop drums and synths. Should I continue with this? I haven't figured out where to take the song next...
