Hi,

I've just spent a few hours skimming through the excellent resources in this thread.

I am impressed with how much useful info there is in one place! A must read for laptop DJs of all levels. It is great to have all this information in one place.

It would be nice to include a similar thread for Mixing and Online Mastering. Let us know we would be more than glad to help!

This was actually a huge help to me!

The link to 'where do you buy your music' links to a wrong topic.

Great topics and FAQ btw. Going through them at the moment.

Done! Thanks for the reply!

Just had a quick flick through,

looks a quality product.

Is it simple to use ???

:cool:

it's all about DJ tech! thanks.

Thanks for the info.

PS : These two links are dead -

How to EQ
The Official Mix Techniques Thread

Looking into it Sovvy.

OK just for interest sake - it has to do with the url so the old url is
http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24072

when it should be

forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=24072

Sovvy, mind your tone here, it comes across very condescending.

It more has to deal with me working through a phone then anything else.

Not being condescending at all, only helpful.

I know, but your choice of words can come across quite harsh.

thanks for the info

Great resources here.

Thanks!

Should be standard stuff these days. Some people will always need a question asked and answered in their own format based on their own specific criteria. Simply brushing them off by saying "search the forums" sometimes isn't the best response since forms were designed to exchange ideas and questions. If nobody asked them, we would have no content for the forums ;)

im new in fl studio what plugin vst fl studio can use.
