I thought there would be enough people who would like to see these things sorted out. My intention to start this topic is to generate info for the specific things a dj/producer needs to know where to promote things, where to find info's about TT's, Mixers, softsynths, effects, sequencers, samplers, monitoring etc

Not everything is completely on the run but there will follow many more

Please do not mess up this thread with stupid questions. Adding more links is appreciated, telling me I'm a great guy too

Your a great guy Thijsje

Having this topic pinned would be great

I've recommend Hitsquad.com a while ago

Oooh Pega your soo good

added
thanks mod. to pin this topic

edit:

@ Tommy,
start before your Ibiza gigs....
maybe you could produce something (maybe only some intro's) for your sets at Ibiza

List updated with 3 links:

Dj and Producers section have both one massive magazine.
Promotions has one extra promotions link

if you feel something missing in here like a bunch of links (or maybe one) or you think there's some need of a new (sub-) category.... then say it

this is it for now
more to come soon

hehe well if i would have the time for this

im working each day for 10 hours as reporter for an local TV station. And on weekends i got my gigs.
Also i need some time for my girl


so u see not much time left

I see...

PM me or add me to msn,
then we can talk about it

wow, i just found a new website

check this out and set to your favourites... it's recommended by me

http://www.dailywav.com/

good usefull list
thnx thijsje

Nice topic thijsje

Very usefull!!

^^^
if you're in need of any specticular sound, just search on this page..
could be usefull thijsje might wanna check it.

added

thanks for the link


At the moment i'm trying to figger out and translate some info's about recordlabels... do's and don'ts

these info's will be addded to the topic soon

added:


i'm thinking about removing the dj needs.. there's not many value added by posting only a few links

edit:
also added to promotions:

hey thijs,

when i recently sent our (me and sinsure's) track to somatic sense recordings, i got an email back from pascal (aka dj precision) saying that he has real trouble downloading from yousendit.com and invited me to use dropload.com. I tried this site out and it seems to be very good. The best thing about using this site is that when you send the link of your track to your recipient, dropload notifys you when the recipient has downloaded the file. so that way you KNOW that the label has got your track.

just something to keep in mind.

also i just thought of something else,

i've been doing some research on which record labels i could send mp3's to, and these are the labels that i've found are compatible so far:

- anjunabeats (www.anjunabeats.co.uk)
- somatic sense (www.somaticsense.com)
- mondo records (www.mondorecords.com)
- five am recordings (www.fiveamrecords.co.uk)
- lost language (www.lostlanguage.com)
- adjusted (www.adjustedmusic.com)

i'm sure there are more out there, but these are all top labels that allow you to send them mp3's. when searching their page, click on the "contact" link (or something similar to contact) and that's where you'll find out how to send your demos to them. (ie what their demo email address is.)

feel free to add any more labels here that allow online sending of demos.

hope this helps.

list updated with:

http://www.serious-sounds.net/index.php

http://www.audiopioneers.com

great topic , maybe some of those site will help me out with producing a bit cause i'm kinda stuck now and my tracks don't really sound professional yet

What for programs do you use? and why isn't it sounding professional to you?

just post some in our unsigned tracks section, then we can take a look at it

I think producing a real beauty is partially a matter of experiences (learnt by feedback and trying) and contains for the rest of good standards of producing

i use fruity loops but sometimes i don't get the highhats or well better said the drums right and it sounds to hard and all...

Great topic, thank you very uch for this!

very useful thread, thanks for taking the time

Well keep saying this,, but you have to make an ear for listening what is right and what is wrong,,, and i know Fruity sucks,, (sorry not a fruity user) ,, ..

maybe a tip for you,, try to start making a full beat (kick , hihat , clap , etc etc ) .. so you can set the right volumes for each instrument..

i know how it works , and i do have the ear for it , but still i think it has something to do with the mastering and all...
thanks for the tips though

Oh since you said fruity sucks wich program would you recommend ?

don't spam up the useful topic, please....
we also have a PM box

we're not spamming we're having a discussion about producing , can't you see ?
if it's really that bad to you then i can delete all my posts from here if you like...

huh Thijsje? ,, just telling my opinion about Fruity,, im using Cubase,,, .. but just helping Xerocool out with his problem.,... if i do that with PM messages,, you can delete this topic imo.

i made this topic with the meaning to get a clear view where people can get info's they need, not to use it as a live-chat.... imo nothing wrong with, but stay on-topic please

ok ok .. thats cool !
i have downloaded some samples from a site.. great thijsje

thanks for those links!!
the are really useful
