no not that mix, the one i did before that, which was all vinyl

no, i use my up faders to mix with the crossfader always in the middle. at the club i dont even have an option since both clubs i play at have one of these:

so i went to Havana that night that your friend was maybe gonna go

i kept an eye on the door and in walked a bald, dorky guy, by himself. not tall, though, no asian girl on the arm, but i went up to him anyway.

i asked if he was gr80's friend. he gave me the "i can be gr80's friend if you want me to be" look. oops. i told you how gay that place has become. he touched my arm a lot and drunkenly talked about i don't know what. i stopped paying attention.

when i got back to our table my friends were cracking up. they'd seen that guy exit the bathhouse across the street a few minutes before. here's hoping i didn't shake his hand.

!! how did i miss this

good story jergins

i appreciate you taking one for the team like that

he gets flown out to DJ m1cr0s0f+ p4r+1es twice a year and if i play my cards right i might get to one day soon~~

grady im watchin the emmys where r u

wow its 8:04 and ive cringed about sixty times already

heidi klum is slamming as usual tho--do you think i could get a girl that hot if i wrote a song as good as "kiss from a rose"

sick burn piven

lookin good julia l-d

please liveblog the whole thing, maxmaxmax

heidi klum is slamming as usual tho

tape-delayed here i think but max otm

wish i could lxy but every time one of the hosts appears on stage i get so embarrassed for them my face melts off and i start crying and have to hide under the pillow

ricky gervais is kind of funny tho

ok actually loling at gervias tickling carrell

they just gave an award to the dude who is right now directing the emmys--seems kind of fishy--maybe the integrity of the program has been compromised

or maybe they gave it to him because if they didnt he would end the broadcast

conan is proably the only person at the emmys who is as tall as heidi klum

man i think 1 of the most fun jobs in the world would be working on the writing staff for the daily show or conan or something...

i think you have to be way more neurotic than i am

lol steve martin weed joke

thanks for sticking with it. think how fun it will be to post when you see grady!

I JUST SAW GRADY!!!!!!

what was he doing?

i didnt see him i was just trying to keep you on your toes

wow josh groban is singing a medley of theme songs

^^ when this is broadcast later dont miss it

sort of bizarrely unfunny & weird

more like rowan and martins laugh-NOT

ugh i thought no one could be less funny than the hosts but somehow the reunion of rowan and martins laugh in is pain-inducing

lol heidi its "bones" not "THE bones" at least PRETEND that you watch television

i feel betrayed

tina fey just won! do you think i can make her my friend if i meet her in nyc?

yes

good luck max. we are going for ethiopian food

i have a really dumb traktor 3 question. how do i export/record while mixing

thats for anyone to answer not just dj rick gibralter. like i see where to set the file location but where do you enable recording? i need tips and hints

also, tricks

the 'native mix' recorder is crap. avoid it.

the standard audio recorder, which records in wav, is usually on page 4

then i import into itunes to listen and get it down to a usuable file size

no tricks, just tracks

lol i didn't even see that page 1-4, thx! i seriously looked for a half hour for that shit and gave up. i h8 reading manuals
