no, that guy definitely works solo. he also did another cool project "Ammobox.' he used Reaktor and some coding to write his own software to go with timecoded vinyl, Ammobox is a trippy way to change up the samples used. holy fuck did I ever have a flame war with THAT guy, LOL! the guy's legit, he just has a day job too, so he can't always finish or fix his extra-curricular work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ2jTG7OLss <--- the scratch thing he made. Live isn't scratching, Live is telling his software which sample to use when it scratches. he gives a good demo. he offered a bounty for someone to finish that project, busy guy. don't piss him off.
:P

his ammobox thread (it's not pretty. :lol: )

That's mindblowing! I wonder if this will be possible also with M4L and/or serato partnership thingy that's still under the blankets..

if you have Reaktor you can check his out for free I think.
http://www.remix.net/wiki/ammobox

for $100 you can get Ms Pinky, which is 2 timecode vinyl and a max patch that run on its own. it also comes with a max object with the hooks into the max timecode reader so you can make your own.

or get Traktor, Serato etc.

Ableton has a partnership with Serato announced, nobody knows what's up with it.

Ammobox is special because it lets you automate the audio being scratched,I don't know if the others can do that. at the core Ammobox is a Reaktor timecode vinyl detector.

put up or shut up. you can do better? could you even begin to make your own timecode vinyl detection system? I think you're missing the point. he even claims he's not a great scratcher.

what's up hater? :roll:

Im talking about the op. That shit isnt even musical, he just pushes random buttons and sounds like horse shit. I would have commented sooner but my account has been painfully deactivated for a week.

shit, could be.

threadjack over? :? agreed, the OP's blog and contributions are a joke.

sorry throwaway, thought you were hating on something else.

edit - yeah, my account was deactivated for a while after I changed my contact e-mail. the train kept rolling and all I could do was watch.

Funny thing is I tried to register another account under the nickname "IdrinkHaterade"


Where did people get the idea the op was a professional dj from?

No one did really, it was just the way he stated early on that the forum was filled with amateurs and that Ableton shouldn't be putting their requests into the software because it makes it all... amaterurishy?

I'm enjoying the lack of Bush's influence in the world in general lately. maybe we can choose different sides of the "sound card in an APC" thread. you pick a side, I've already argued both.
