bjarnetv Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I "needed" a new dac, so it was either an affordable old dac, or one of the new FOTM budget dacs. the blackgates and sonicap platinums in this one made the choice a bit easier... and its fairly heavy, so it's got to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjarnetv Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I dunno about that DAC... but that Kenwood looks wicked. i havent listened to it yet as i still need a coax cable; but if i dont like it, its probably not going to be hard to resell, as AN seems to be pretty popular around these parts. and the kenwood is indeed pretty luxurious.

Voltron Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Were those the ones from h-f that the guy wanted to sell for $2000? Either way congratulations and enjoy! Yes, but I didn't pay that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Lovenox, coumadin and diltiazem. Unfortunately this means no alcohol for a while. Eeew. Does that mean you have to inject yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yep. Two down, four to go. It's actually pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yep. Two down, four to go. It's actually pretty easy. Good man. My wife was on Lovenox for a while, she made me inject her. My neighbor has some injectable med for her MS; she has a needle phobia, poor lady, so when her husband is out of town, she comes to our house and asks me to inject her while she covers her eyes and looks the other way. Sounds like the no alcohol is the bigger difficulty for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absorbine_Sr Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 No, not for the weirdest cocktail ever, but a little wood restoration and some pleasant drinking. However, I did hear of an interesting new cocktail made with prune juice and wood alcohol - it' called a Shit or Go Blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Traktor Pro, which is more or less the best DJ software on the planet. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the .edu discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The amount going on in that window looks intense. I've always been curious, do you have USB "decks" so you can control all of those little knob icons? Or do you use a mouse and keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The amount going on in that window looks intense. I've always been curious, do you have USB "decks" so you can control all of those little knob icons? Or do you use a mouse and keyboard? There are a number of answers to that. I could have opted for Traktor Scratch and been able to control the virtual decks with actual 1200s. I have tried this interface before, and I do not like it. I dislike the Serato version even more. There are also a mess of hardware controllers on the market that send MIDI data over USB to Traktor. I have yet to purchase one, but there's a number I'm considering. I like the look of the Akai MPD32. The way I use use DJ software differs significantly from that screenshot. I don't use a software mixer. Nearly 15 years of DJing has given me the irrevocable opinion that there's nothing better than hands-on analog mixing. I have a USB DAC with 8 outputs (4 stereo pairs) and I plug it into a 4 channel mixer. Currently I'm using a Pioneer mixer with rotary faders. The way I mix, I'm working with the mixer most of the time. I only cue and sync with Traktor. This arrangement works fine until I need to make slight adjustments to a track's speed. My friend Dave has a pair of Pioneer CDJ-2000s ($1800 or so each), which can function as USB DACs and control surfaces in Traktor. Once this new version of Traktor I ordered arrives, I'm going to try out mapping the CDJ2Ks and see how responsive they are. The setup looks pretty sweet: Picture contains gratuitous gray cat.
