Good thread, brought back a lot of memories, was a regular for the first half of the '90s Still got my membership card somewhere What ever became of Benny the DJ ?

Fair comment, Lunik is a bit of a kleptomaniac... Not billed as a regular part of the night ? Which nights are doing that ? Yeah I made that up, must have spent too long on the playstation.. I've been told it was only 4 decks (cause the 2 computer decks were being controlled by CDJ's anyway) and it wasn't a battle, just competitive mixing (with 3 mixers) - I believe there isn't a name for this sort of thing??? but it did really happen ! Yes, the way your original post reads, it sounds as if you are having a go at people putting their own time, effort and money into trying make a go of a diverse range of nights hosted at a club that has been freewheeling for a few years. I'd thought you were calling them a bunch of lazy amatures.. o_O A lot of people put a lot of effort in behind the scenes at clubs like Kef so that folk can have a choice of a good night out. Those folks have already had a kicking this week as their services are no longer required, so I'm saying thanks for your efforts, and not blaming their abilities... Anyway.. Kef R.I.P. Belmont Street has changed significantly in the last 5 years, it doesn't really fit into the place it once defined... I imagine the last night is going ot be a bit of a riot

What is the latency figure you are currently getting with the onboard audio ? Have you tried asio4all (google it) ? I'm guessing with the spec you mention your latency will be > 35ms for non ASIO drivers Not sure that processor spec, even with a replacement audio device, you will get your latency under 20ms, so really depends how much real time work you wanted to do with it, or how well you can adapt to the latency lag..

Cheers.. yeah based in Aberdeen..

MacBook Pro and Ableton 6 at the moment, Kaoss Pad, TR-808, controller keyboard and Roland Pad-8

Mostly for reacting to changes in your set on the fly. If you intend to turn up, hit play and let your sequncer run from start to end, exactly as it always does then pretty much any sequencer cuts it. Its also easier to quickly assign midi or key controllers on the fly, alternate between variations of a part etc etc. I mostly use Logic for studio based work and transfer everything into Live for performance. Just my preference, but also worth noting that every live electronic artist I've seen in the last 12 months has been running Live for same reasons.

Totally disagree with you. While Kef has really struggled to woo large numbers of punters from some of the recent younger sexier contendors, its wrong to place this blame on those running the nights. As well as Tez, Lunik deserves big credit for Ketchup - the first regular night in Aberdeen to be playing Breakz, Electro, and more recently Minimal Techno. Also the first (and only) night in Aberdeen to have a resident VJ providing live visuals, back to back 6 deck battle mixing etc etc . All of this Lunik has been doing for the last 2 years. Guest have been hit and miss at Kef (as Tez knows) and shouldn't be regarded as a measure of the quality of the night - how often have you seen a group or duo playing at a certain other club, only to find on the night only one of them bothered to show up... guests are frequently a big PITA that the door returns at Kef made it dificult to justify..

Only suggested Live, as I find it better than Cubase/Logic/Pro Tools for gigging.. Although an MPC3000 would be better

what sort of electro are you thinking ? Sorry mate it can't be done with the sort of budget your talking But if you want to have a stab anyway, I'd suggest a serious look at the Arturia Collection Arturia | | Intro Should leave you enough left over for Ableton Live and a reasonable controller keyboard, although making the assumption that you have a suitably powerful and portable computer... gratuitous link to my own meager synth collection compuphonic's Photos - MyBedroomStudio
