All people have a passion. Unlike others, I have a passion for deejay-ing. When I was 14-years-old, I used to hear those "popular" genres like Techno. Remarkably, this inspire and spurs me on into mixing music. In 2006, I decided to make it out and joined music forums. I will post up the mixes and let the audience comment. I accept any either the worse, bad, good or average comments. I know this is the only way i could improve. I started out using Acoustica Mixcraft 2.5.1. I try all means to learn by myself.
Let me introduce some basics into deejay-ing.
1. Beatmatch - This means the combination of 2 different beats sync-ing together beautifully.
2. Vocalmatch - This means the vocals you've insert, syncs with the beat in the background.
3. Effects - Some common effects are flanger, wah-wah, phaser & a lot more are what we normally use in Sony Sound Forge 8.0/9.0 Program.
4. Timestretch - This is to extend the sound clip. For example you say "Haha" for 1 second, I can extend your "Haha" to the time I prefer for let say 10 seconds. Haha, it definitely sounds funny.
5. Pitching - This is to change the tone of the voice. You can make it to either a female or male voice.
6. Turntable - This is a very obvious machine. Please refer to Wikipedia.com for more information. :p
Eventually, I learnt Step 1 - 5 all by myself. It sounds easy but I think its a great achievement I have made since April 2007. I have changed my form of mixing technoes to r&b genres.
Making out in r&b genre isn't that easy. It has loads of beats to synchronize with. After several times of practising and advises given by friends, i managed to pull it through for now though. Haha. Well, from Joint Jam 1 to 2, I've learnt alot on transition of songs. For Joint Jam 3, you've guys gotta wait. :P
I feel that music can express our feelings, such as anger, happiness, sadness and blah blah blah. Music is important because it helps us to appreciate something more than what we see.
In retrospect, my quote for music is "We dont control our emotions, music does it all."
Thanks for reading this post. I just love to talk about what i feel. Haha. Good bye! :)
