very very nice. kudos!

i was gonna post the custom table i built for my setup, but i don't have them available right now. and my computer is packed up for my move. it was all finished like yours is, but it was something to keep everything in check. my roommate and myself combined all of our DJ equipment and we had to make something to keep it all organized. but it's no more, because i'm moving. when i get my computer up and running, i'll post pics. also, on my myspace page, it has links to my mixes, BUT they're links to my FTP, which is of course down for now.

This was a question among other mods and admins right off the bat so I will answer in the same fashion as I did with them.

Basically, the songs are all purchased or licensed in some form to me.  There is a gray area with this type of music and the ability to play it publically.  Technically, every live-to-air broadcast over the web, satellite, or FM stations is bending the rules of copywrite infringement.  However, it is not illegal.

Since the music I am using is put together into a mixed compliation, the rights are therefore put onto me.

I am in no way making any money from this set or distributing it TO make money so that proves the legality issues as well.

Also, like I said: it is a mixed compilation.  If I were releasing the tracks individually as their own or in a form that could be broken up, we may have some issues.  But I'm not.  This is a private mix to be released for promotional use only, as with any mix compilation that is ever released.

Same goes with anything from BBC's Radio 1, ETN.fm and their torrent downloads, DI.fm's downloadable sets, ID&T, etc...

Hope that explains things enough ;)

Ummm ... not exactly. Those big sites get their downloads authorized by labels/DJs/producers before distributing a mix. While some labels have less strict policies in place regarding this kind of thing, many (i.e. Anjunabeats) specifically forbid any of their releases being offered in mixes like this. Also -- BBC, ETN, DI.FM, ID&T, etc. all pay broadcasting royalties to BMI, SOCAN, ASCAP, BUMA, STEMRA, etc. etc.. Else, it's copyright infringement. End of story.

I see. So any DJ who's posting links on their page to a personal set should be locked up for copyright infringement? Same thing would then apply to any Live-To-Air broadcast via FM radio as they do not pay rights as much as you claim they do (save stations like BBC).

I would then assume that passing along a demo to another DJ to evaluate their performance would then be dubbed illegal.

Or even sending out promotional copies of a new track, illegal.

There are so many gray areas that are being bent with DJ culture these days. Notice every vinyl you have (including the 4pack Tiesto LE) says right on it not to be used for distribution. So anytime you were to play it live on radio it technically breaches that contract. However it's done all the time, and even the RIAA knows that this goes on. It is no infringement and it is not illegal. Not to mention I provided a full tracklisting of all songs included so if anybody likes the tracks they can purchase them on their own.

Also be aware that I have contacted many of the artists that this was to be released on this website and received about 90% approval rate, the rest have not returned my e-mail.

Downloading now. Rarely touched this genre but this time for the sake of Neowin and [NFC]Wave, take a look and perhaps I will love it. :) Thanks for your hard working.

I downloaded it and I'm a little past 60 minutes into listening to it. Wow, good timing because just now (as I was typing this) it hit a song that I like quite a bit.

I'm not usually a fan of this style of music (and listening to this bit hasn't really "converted" me) but I still have enjoyed it. Cool stuff, thanks!

:cool:

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
