  1. What IS this "tuning" thingy I keep hearing about? I play Rawk, is it something I should consider looking into??? ? ?
  2. Next tip! Just "discovered" your YouTube channel (while trying to send a link on my phone). I'd suggest adding the Video section (which appears to be missing ) since it is the easiest place to see all of your stuff and/or make an "Everything" playlist. Having a lot of one-song playlists doesn't do much! Separating styles into playlists is helpful though. I'm a much bigger fan of Melodic Trance over Techno for example. Of course, what people call each of the subgenres could make a huge thread in and of itself! Singles may be useful for mixing but, for pure enjoyment, it's nice to be able to play them all one after the other! ? (Note that I was DJ for four years back in the early 80's and also did the lighting at a lot of the underground clubs in the Los Angeles area back in the 90's. I've got many GB's of the Classic Trance and Techno from that era including multi-hour DJ mixes!)
  3. Well, I liked them! Some sounded like what I used to create back in the 90's (all lost when both a hard drive and the back-up "30-year Phase Digital drive" died... ?). Do you have longer versions with added headers and tails as well? These help DJ's mix them in and match tempos. And now, for the most obvious question you're going to get here: Did you even use BandLab (aka, Cakewalk, aka SONAR) in the creation of these? I've got access to some DJ's that make weekly mixes. I'll send them your links.
  4. I wonder if she'll prefer a Steely Dan or a Thin Lizzy when she gets older... ?
  5. I used Duckduckgo until they also started censoring (explicitly mentioned by their CEO). Now I use the Brave search engine on a Brave browser whenever I'm looking for real information (I still use Chrome for other stuff, like roaming here!). Unfortunately, the Internet is quietly being deleted by those that want to "control the narrative" and, in a real sense, what history was. There are a few videos about this (including a few that I've saved), but you can easily test it yourself. Just type in something that should have a LOT of results (and, indeed, used to), like "pizza" or even "love" and, if you get more than 500 actual results, I would be shocked. I just tried "love" using Chrome on Google and it claims 19.2 BILLION results, but on only page 19 provided this message: Clicking the link to "repeat the search with the omitted results included" will now give you 41 pages with 406 results. This behavior is MUCH worse on topics they want to control! On those results, you'll get repeated results from the "sources" they want you to use over and over... Unfortunately, even the better search engines (I've tried several) all use the same sources, so are also impacted. To say this truly sucks is a massive understatement! Test it for yourself! I still remember when there were thousands of pages of results for some topics.
  6. I remember trying very hard to come up with the over $800 needed to get a Commodore-64 when they first came out (about the same as $2,500 now adjusted for inflation). I ended up waiting for the first IBM PC instead since I had access to other computers through the school system. Besides the (teletype-only, acoustic modem) HP-2000 time-share, there were several "Trash" 80's and, in 1984, Apple computers (Whoa! These have COLOR! ?).
  7. Coo Ca Choo > Coo Coo Ca Choo The Beatles - I Am The Walrus
  8. I guess you really did like this one from only three days (or two pages) ago! ?
