Spin Doctor

Bigsteve, the next event is a Red & Black Night. I don't think the lineup has been released yet but bound to be some good tuneage from Bond.

Have you got a direct download for this, Aza? Make it easier to listen to in the Car for me.

Awesome.

Solid mix, Briggsy. I particularly liked hearing Boca - Play With Me again. My copy of this has an annoying warp which makes it particularly difficult to mix.

Some belters in there mate. Like Aza's Technocality, I have added it to my to listen list.

Nice post. I especially love the 'pancake tuners' reference. With the pace of technological change I do wonder where we will be in years to come with DJing technology. Also I am surprised that the laser turntable hasn't made a re-appearance for those wishing the highest possible archive quality of sound prior for digital DJing.

Must be early twenties then?

Will add this and Technocality I to the ever growing 'to listen' list!

Took me much longer than planned to get back, but as usual a high quality mix from Aza . 09. Svenson & Gielen - Twisted (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix) [High Contrast] 21. Felix - Don't You Want Me (Pants & Corset Remix) [White] 22. G.D. - Choral Reef (Original Mix) [IDJ] Particular highlights for me!

He looks about 12 in that picture!

Looking forward to this. Will listen at the weekend.

Looks fun. You can't beat small venues for crowd/dj interaction.

I do kind of remember meeting some JJ Message Board members that day, but I must admit exactly who escapes me. I spend most of the event with one of my mates from School (!) and a friend I'd made at the first ever GKGG in 2001. Very bad to admit forgetting to meet every, and how I'd forget the famous No2 fan I'll never know! Can you remember who was there?

If you increase volume past 0db you will get clipping; there is no way round this. If you want to increase the overall volume of the track without clipping you will need dynamics processing, also known as compression. Compression is a reasonably simple concept but one which is very hard to master to get professional results, therefore I think you are better off just normalising to 0db and leaving it there. Modern music is recorded with little dynamic range, the difference between the loudest and quietest part of a recording and if you start over compressing it further it will sound worse.

You need to normalise the file; this will bring the loudest peak of the waveform to 0db.
