So, I made a decision… Yes, Yes. I decided to not make a trip to WMC (Winter Music Conference) this year. I had a booking for a prior gig for RETSO in ATL.  This is a decision I do not regret, RETSO was a GREAT event! The organizers were on point as well as the speakers and if you know me, you know I don’t speak Real Estate, but take it from me, these people got game and knew their social media (twitter, facebook, linkedin, etc.).  I am a geek! I enjoy talking with other geeks. We talk, we collaborate, we take over! I enjoyed the event and I see this event getting bigger and better every year!!!!!!

Seriously! I admit. I do on occasion and find it quite funny on some of the things  that come up by googling myself. Also, I guess it doesn’t make it any easier having a name that matches a wrestler’s name (Iron Mike Sharpe)

Pioneer has stepped up to the plate to give you a multi sceen touch controller. The DJM-2000 is the first mixer with a multi-touch display and uses the 5.8-inch LCD to provide control over the sound that would be difficult with buttons. At a basic level, it lets musicians put up a set of custom interfaces for controlling a Mac or PC’s music software through MIDI. Gestures also work to create “sidechain” mixing, and on-screen sliders can fine-tune the frequency.

Yes, you read that right… Capsulated Software Ltd., announced the availability of Cue.Play.DJ. 1.0, the most advanced digital DJing solution ever created for the iPhone OS platform. CUE.PLAY.DJ has the needs of existing DJs in mind, offering a familiar interface and feature-set comparable to existing desktop digital DJ solutions costing hundreds of dollars, while sporting a $9.99 price point that lowers the barrier of entry to anyone seeking to become a real DJ. The real kicker here is that DJ/Producer Ferry Corsten collaborated and put his input into the project.

Up to late on a Friday night I come across another how to video by the one and only Jim Pavloff. If you recall I wrote previously about the making of Smack my Bitch up Jim made using only Ableton Live. Here Jim does the same thing only shows us the inner workings and samples used for the classic Voodoo People by the Prodigy. If you recall this song was also featured in the movie Hackers which happens to be a favorite movie of mine.
