How do YOU record your dj set?

what do you record with?

"I heard for the "BEST" sound quality you need to record straight into a PC through a soundcard"

yeah use your soundcard to record into soundforge or cool edit then master it and burn it

I record straight into Soundforge.

I record straight into my computer also... What do you guys mean when you say Protools? Is this software?

Cheers

sort of...

i record to md then listen in car...

so to burn a cd i have to f*k around with cables etc from mixer to pc - but they all sound ok to me

dont have the luxery of a computer in the same room as decks so i record onto minidisk.

then if i want to make a cd i have to play the minidisk into the computer!!!!

one advantage is you can check if it sounds ok before burning but is a pain in the asssssssssss!

I use a Mini Disk to record with as my PC is in a different room, I then when I want to put the set on PC I just plug the Mini Disk into the soundcard and re-record it using cool edit pro.

you can always studio mix it with protools and pass it off as a dj set.

Mate, that's just not Cricket!

obviously!

i was just responding becuase he asked if there was any other way of recording a set without spinning it.

and there is...... its just not right.

but i have to say that "most" people wouldn't be using Protools to record a DJ set.  its a program that can do much more than record...  ie... mix television shows.

Same here

hehe, so is pushing the play button in your .wav editor   

Yeah Im a minidisk user.

Its fucking annoying the amount of fucking about to get a cd.

However you can track mark before the mix starts and then skip through sets listening to the mixes only.

I will consider getting a cd recorder when they drop below 150 pounds.

Poundland mostly........

I know you get a good model for 200 quid.

Im just tight.

I mix straight from my Vestax PVC-275 into my sound card(The Sound Blaster® Audigy® 2 ZS Platinum)... but I use Magix Music Maker 2004 Deluxe for recording purposes...any one else use Magix?

Do you need an expensive soundcard to record into soundforge or will standard do? I've got soundforge but don't really use it.

I record onto MD then when i've got a good enough mix record it onto my cd recorder.

Would be interested in recording onto soundforge though, especially if you can master the sound quality

the better the sound card the better the sound quality.  also you're source recording decive has to be good aswell.  ie... good needles, mixer, records, etc.  as the old saying goes, you can't polish shit.

soundforge does have a great deal of tools that can be used to clean up and 'master' as you put it your sound file.  its not the top of the industry for mastering devices but its plenty adequate for what we need to do with a dj mix.
