Are flights from Aberdeen OK?

What about beat matching, pitch shifting, time shift? I can't speak for Psydoll, Maxi, Jimmy Lucifer and Dave but i do all of those and they require a bit of skill. Fair enough, i'm no scratch DJ and i don't consider myself a professional but it certainly isn't just a case of change CD and push 'play' when i'm doing it.

The only problem i have with mp3 is rubbish sound quality.

aye yeh, fair play. Some DJ's, just push play. The guys youv've mentioned are among the most decent in aberdeen like. Although I dont really know nothing about Djing, and am just saying that as i know them.

Whatever happened to giles walker?

nice one

hey, happy birthday shaun!

jUST shove on a cd and go, i pod = no different.

shit just realised I can't make it, I'll be in Birmingham that week! bugger. in the words pavement - Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, over god, Its everybodys god, its everybodys god, its everybodys god, its Everybodys god, The worlds collide, but all that we want is a shady lane!

anything by talk talk or tortoise would be cool

The council have given their backing in principal to a new centre for contemporary arts to be built in Aberdeen:

BBC NEWS | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Arts centre backed by councillors

Looks like a good idea, nice to see Peacock are involved so it should be under decent stewardship.

If only the cultural enterprise officer was a member of this site so he could shed more light on it...

what about housing?

i thought it was a good nite. I got chucked out about 2am though which i felt was harsh.

i got a B for my HNC Social sciences and considering i ran out of time on my geography paper and only did a quarter of it, i'm dead chuffed!

Well, done. the dunser will be chuffed!

Ach well it's that time of year again students, Graduation Ceremony!

I got my kilt today, the lovely Auld Lang Syne tartan! Anyone else getting kilted up? I hear you have to bow to the Uni chancellor...oh dear

tamagochi

aye marks decent

We went there for our recording and to be honest, it was just what we wanted. I also think mark could do post mix mastering if you asked.

It was better than we expected. High quality.

whats Stanley?

I'm more interested in hearing bands experiences of using these places, the process they go through and the quality of the results they acheive.

I recorded at the old exile and the quality was pretty good to be honest. Mark Nicol produced it. I could try and hunt some CDs for you

Thanks for the replies.

I'll defo have a think about it a little more before applying.

Hi,

I am thinking about applying for the teacher training graduate course at Aberdeen. Can anyone tell me what the propects are for getting a job after your initial placement?

TA, Ollie x

At Aberdeen University everything is marked on a scale from 1-20, with each mark being 5%. A 1st is 90-100% (18-20), 2.1 is 75-85% (15-17) 2.2 is 60-70% (12-15) and so on. As far as I'm aware RGU mark between a 1 and 6 with a 6 being a 1st, 5 a 2.1, 4 a 2.2 etc.

I think the marking system is shocking to be honest. It isn't a fair reflection of the students actual abilities.

For instance I know people that have gotten a 20/19/18 for an exam but ended up with a 12/13/14 overall. Likewise for essays.

how do they work out what overall degree you get?

i've got 14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17

i do law btw

that'd be a 2:2 so far. But if you have another year to go you can push it up. Also depends on the amount of credits each course is worth. Different subjects also calculate your degree differentLY. For instance in Sociology only your 3rd and 4th marks count for an honours degree.

Not any more.

The univerisities (there's one in every village now) throw them about like confetti.

The prerequisite for gaining a degree these days is the student having a pulse.

That's not a reflection on the students themselves but the quality of the "those who cannot do, teach" lecturers with little or no real world commercial experience. Either that or they're industry burnouts who can't hack it in the big bad world.

It was

i dont think that is a fair reflection of things at all. Everyone I know worked hard to get into uni. They don't accept just anyone, you need the grades to get in.

The coursework is bloody hard as well. It is certainly not a breeze.

All degrees can give you labour market advantage, although increasingly post-graduate degrees (for certain industries) will give you an extra edge.

The lecturers that I have encountered at Aberdeen have close links with industries and do have a great deal of commercial experience.

2:1 sociology which is greattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

How did you get on students?

I graduated with a 2:1 in sociology, I got a scholarship to do a postgraduate research course!
