DJing might look like an easy job. Sometimes I hear stuff like:
Hey, what’s so difficult about playing some music out?
Here’s why it’s a bit more than hitting a venue and playing music like average Joe could do:
Finding the right music: I receive around 400 to 600 promos from all kinds of labels and genres each month. I need to listen to them ALL to find MY music. 80% of it is crap, 10% supercrap, 5% good, 5% very good. I only play the 5% that I find very good. But there’s not only the work to listen to ALL the promos, there is also the browsing through the stores and it’s (mostly) crappy samples. BTW, I recommend Resonant Vibes and audiojelly. Beatport just in cases when I can’t find track XYZ elsewhere. Finding the right music is the most time eating thing of the job.
Sorting the right music: I label my tracks after genre, NOT by tagging but file name adding like Peter Parker - Spiderman Song (Vogelmann Remix) - PROG. Each and every genre has its own folder on my HD’s, both the studio system and the gig notebook, always in sync.
Touching the music: Each and every track gets slighty sound optimized by myself, like loudness correction or a bit of equalizing, I have my own scripts or batches for that processes. Each and every track gets key detected for harmonic mixing.
The above is the hidden part of my DJ job, not many people have an idea what that means. To be exact: it’s the most important part of the job because THIS IS WHAT MAKES YOU AN ARTIST under millions of DJ’s. Compare it to a painter, his colours, his brushes, his canvas and all that stuff. Then there’s his way of painting and this is the part when I’m going live.
Let’s be honest: Beatmixing is not the hardest part of playing live. You have a bit of a rhythmic feeling? Okay, I’ll teach you in less than 2 weeks. But do you have the right ears, the right feeling for ‘what comes next’? Can you feel the audience? Is your sound right, EQing and all that stuff? When should you change the style a bit or the tempo? And what about your ‘acting role’ whilst DJing, do you have a charismatic aura or do you behave or look like an idiot? Don’t get me wrong, I find it very important to be authentic, but LIVE you’re not bedroom DJing.
A good DJ needs to be reliable with playing times and dates, needs to take care about his technical equipment and all that stuff, needs to find HIS style and satisfy HIS fans everytime he’s playing … I could write an endless list of other aspects of successful DJing. Just wanted to give you a glimpse of the background of things.
my name is Ingo Vogelmann, Composer, Producer and Label Manager. I wonder why you collect my music under
***URL***
and offer it as ringtones via a 3rd party provider and I know nothing about that. It seems like you’re making money of it, correct me if I’m wrong. Also correct me when I didn’t recognize that you and I have made a contract. At least I am not able to remember something like that.
It is possible that my distributor really made a contract with ringtone distribution companies. Please, inform me if this is the case in my case, I will also ask my distributor.(1)
I kindly request your reply within the next 3 days.
Wie ihr vielleicht wisst, habe ich ein bißchen Urlaub (nach 8 Jahren) gemacht, und zwar in Kopenhagen, Dänemark. Es war supertoll! Die Menschen in Kopenhagen (wie meistens in Skandinavien) sind auffällig schön, freundlich, offen, telefonieren die ganze Zeit und fahren alle Fahrrad. Ich war während meiner Zeit dort auch zu 80% mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs:
The Official friskyBike
Und einfach machen sie es sich auch. Zur Begrüßung sagt man “Hi”, zum Verabschieden “Hi hi” (das wird sicher anders geschrieben, aber so hört es sich an). Außerdem sind ALLE Frauen schwanger und schieben einen Kinderwagen vor sich her. Zigaretten gibt’s nur an Kiosken und aus dem Automaten, und die Auswahl ist leicht eingeschränkt.(1)
Das Wetter war der Hammer, weshalb ich auch einigermaßen gebräunt bin.
Ja, ich feile gerade meine Nägel.
Ungesicherte WLANs gibt es dort genauso viele wie in Deutschland und dem Rest der Welt, daß scheint normalmenschliches Verhalten zu sein.
Ein Highlight für jeden, der Kopenhagen besucht, ist ganz sicher Christiania:
Die Welt, in der ich mich täglich bewege, nämlich die Musikwelt, ist klein. Also habe ich Banel von iboga Records (www.iboga.dk)(2) bei einem Open-Air-Event getroffen (der in dem Video auch gerade selbst auflegt) und wir haben tüchtig gefeiert:
STOCKHOLM taz Feiert eine Firma ihr 75jähriges Jubiläum, ist das für sie in der Regel ein Grund zu feiern und über ihre Geschichte zu erzählen. Bei der International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) - der Lobbyorganisation der Plattenindustrie, die sich bekanntlich bei der Jagd auf Internet-Filesharing besonders hervortut - scheint das Verhältnis zur eigenen Vergangenheit etwas gestört zu sein. Das fiel dem schwedischen Historiker Rasmus Fleischer kürzlich auf, als er auf der IFPI-Webbseite vergeblich etwas über deren Geschichte erfahren wollte.
‘Angelic’ going Top Ten @ audiojelly.com in the Progressive charts! To be exact it is #9 right now (Deep-pression Remix). W000000000000T!! Karim Haas Remix is #38.
No. 1 would be nice.
Update
Juno Charts: #306 this week (complete release). Not bad for Juno! Let’s see what happens next.
Yeah, you are right! This is “Angelic” once again. But additionally you will find two fresh Remixes on that! Spanish producer/dj Karim Haas and the Hungarian Deep-pression mark this release.
Do not be surprised at the style of these tracks, they are completly different to our last release “Bergluft”.
We hope you will enjoy as well…
But what to tell more over - don’t miss the chance to listen to these tracks immediately by clicking on the link bellow:
Feedbacks: Moshic :: moshic.com
Wow…what a release, bravo! Would play Deep-Pression Remix and Original. Keep it like that!
Miss Nine :: myspace.com/missnine
Thank you for sending this promo. “Deep-pression” is my favorite Mix!
Bp Zulauf :: helvrecz.net
Thanks for sending, not really my cup of tea, the Deep-presion has a nice bassline wobble that works well…a bit too deep prog for my sets. merci, keep it going
Kellerkind :: myspace.com/kellerkindmusik
I really like the Deep-pression Remix! It is very smoove and the congas makes it sound very fresh… Nice work…
Brix :: myspace.com/brixquark
thanks 4 the tracks, all are very nice but the original is absolut magic (love the theme, the bass line and the atmosphere) clean sound & smooth vocals: Great artist Mr Vogelmann!
David Phillips :: myspace.com/davidphillipsgermany
Very cool Release, Original Mix perfect for me. Will play at my WMC gig this year. 8/10
And I have to thank you my fellow DJ colleagues for your honest and great feedback!
„Nun ist deutlich geworden, was sich hinter dem Label Linkspartei verbirgt, nämlich die alten Kader der SED und der DKP“, sagte Hollitzer zu FOCUS Online. „DIE LINKE hat die Maske fallen lassen.
Das ist mit Abstand der grösste Unsinn, den ich politisch je vernommen habe. Sowohl DIE LINKE Führung als auch genügend hochrangige Einzelfiguren äußern sich hier GANZ KLAR dazu. Es ist schlicht DUMMES ZEUG, zu behaupten, DIE LINKE wäre nur “nach außen hin demokratisch”.
Etwas Demokratischeres als DIE LINKE gibt es in der Bundesrepublik parteipolitisch gar nicht.Â
Wer so eine Kacke verbreitet, disqualifiziert sich sowohl auf politischer als auf auf menschlicher Ebene. Das sind schäbige Angriffe, die nur von Leuten kommen können, denen nichts anderes einfällt.
Ob mich das irgendwie ärgert? Verdammt, ja. Ich bin stinksauer über diese kotzige Schelte und diesen ekelerregenden
Die zweite ‘CD’ (Download) mit meinem Bruder ist nun fertig geworden und heißt ‘Der Weg zum Ich’. Heute im Laufe des Tages wird das im L2MusicStore erhältlich sein. Dieses Mal haben wir noch etwas intensiver an den Inhalten gearbeitet, denn das Thema war uns sehr wichtig. Nicht das andere unwichtiger sind, aber es passt halt gerade in die Zeit, und da wollten wir möglichst Optimales produzieren.
Ausserdem habe ich heute den bereits erwähnten Track für ein neues Megalabel fertiggestellt (gemastert, und dabei - wie erwähnt - bald die Hütte abgefackelt). Ein Snippet kann ich euch zum Gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht zur Verfügung stellen. Erstmal muss alles unter Dach und Fach, und im Übrigen kann es ja auch sein, daß man den Track gar nicht haben will. Unwahrscheinlich, aber möglich.
Ich bin mit Beidem sehr (sehr!) zufrieden und kaufe mir jetzt ein Eis.
Traurig bin ich über meinen offensichtlich angeditschten Hochtöner im linken Frontmonitor-Speaker. Bruder und ich haben den Otto gestern mal auseinandergenommen, wissen aber zuwenig von dem speziellen Bauprinzip, um da viel machen zu können. Die Rente für Ersatz habe ich gerade nicht so rumliegen. Es ist nicht besonders tragisch, aber auch nicht besonders erquickend.
Wie gesagt: Nichts, was die Produktionsergebnisse negativ beinflussen würde. Und das ist erstmal die Hauptsache.
More tolerant error handling when loading custom fonts.
Selected installer language was not used when upgrading from 3.0, this is now fixed.
We have improved the error handling when copying Remote maps and codecs during start up.
All sample players (NN-XT, NN-19, Dr Rex and Redrum) - High Quality Interpolation is now enabled by default.
Improved handling of mono/stereo connections while auto-routing.
Dragging devices to the rack from the tool window only worked with the top-most window, now it works with any window.
More robust error handling during startup, avoiding certain timing problems in Windows.
Sequencer
Automation type for Dr Rex transpose parameter was continuous - changed this to stepped.
In certain situations Command-A did not work properly on Mac OS X.
Notes with same Start or End position could change the play/stop order randomly. This could only be noticed while playing chords on a monophonic device. This is now fixed.
Fixed note trig queuing for extremely short notes. This was causing phased effects when doubling clips exactly on two layers.
“Reset automation override” could default to wrong value.
Pressing Stop the second time moves the song position locator to previous start position, it could sometime move to song start if the locator had been repositioned during playback.
MIDI import of file with redundant note information is now filtered.
Uncombining a Combinator deleted the Combinator’s sequencer track. This is now fixed.
Reason could take a long time to respond when entering extreme numbers in position editors.
Overriding parameter automation by loading a patch did not always indicate automation override. Now fixed.
Improved workflow in sequencer
If a clip is selected in Arrange mode and you switch to Edit mode, the clip is automatically opened for editing. This only happens if the clip is on the current track.
You can press [Esc] to close an open clip in Edit mode. If the clip was opened from Arrange mode, this will automatically switch the sequencer back to Arrange mode.
Changed Zoom behavior: The program now zooms on the song position locator if it’s in view. If not, it zooms towards the left edge of the current view.
Drag and drop now also works in left-handed mouse configurations.
Text-entry of a tempo with a decimal in the transport panel or when editing the static value was counter-intuitive: Typing something like ‘120.5′ or ‘120.05′ delivered 120.005. This is now fixed.
Added label to velocity and pattern lanes.
Remote
Added Remote support for:
Akai MPD24
Akai MPD32
Akai MPK49
Edirol PCR-300/500/800
Frontier Design Group Alpha Track
Line 6 KB37
M-audio ProjectMix I/O
M-audio Axiom 25/49/61
M-audio Oxygen 8 v2
Fixed a performance problem with the Remote Override “learn” feature.
Browser
Performance problem when having many ReFills installed.
Reason could crash when saving if there was more than 300 ReFills installed -fixed.
Better error handling while file searching in browser.
Broken search for missing sounds in songs created with OS hide extensions enabled - fixed.
Changed wording of memory usage in patch browser to avoid confusion.
Saving patches in Reason version 4 and ReFill packer had a backward compatibility issue - fixed.
Sometime the static value was not imported correctly when loading old songs - fixed.
If an opened patch or sample had been moved or deleted while Reason was running this could prevent the user from saving the song - fixed.
Reason could in certain cases unexpectedly quit when saving on Mac OS X - fixed.
Combinator
If many devices in a Combinator were programmed to switch “Receive notes” on/off in the Combinator’s programmer, some devices responded slower than other devices. This is now fixed.
Malström
Increased the buffer size of Malström’s Comb filter, this fixed problems with high sample rates.
RPG-8
Fixed velocity CV and knob/automation lag when in random mode.
Fixed broken velocity change of tied single note when in ON-mode.
“Render Arpeggio To Track” was broken when pattern automation lane was enabled.
New shortcuts: Shift pattern right: Ctrl + J (Win) or Cmd + J (Mac) Shift pattern left: Ctrl + K (Win) or Cmd + K (Mac) Random sequencer pattern: Ctrl +R (Win) or Cmd + R (Mac) Alter Pattern: Ctrl + T (Win) or Cmd + T (Mac)
Thor
Thor’s sequencer have new shortcuts:
Shift sequencer pattern right: Ctrl + J (Win) or Cmd + J (Mac)
Shift sequencer pattern left: Ctrl + K (Win) or Cmd + K (Mac)
Randomize pattern: Ctrl +R (Win) or Cmd + R (Mac) Audio Card
Reason could go silent if the sample rate was changed in Windows Vista or on an aggregated audio card driver in Mac OS X. This is now fixed.
ReWire
Fixed a ReWire problem with FL Studio, making it more robust.
Made Ableton Live and Reason ReWire connection more robust.
