Top 3 DJ Software 2012

2:50 PM Posted by Jhui , No comments


From the very early days of my interest in music I was always impressed with the skills that DJs have being able to mix records in a noisy, busy club environment, to seamlessly thread together pieces of music, to be able to work out the right place to bring a new track in and get a good reaction from a large crowd of people and to be able to read your audience in order to keep them dancing all night – it really captured my imagination.

So here is the list of top 3 Dj software of 2012


1.Zulu DJ Software

Zulu DJ software is professional DJ Software for Windows. This professional DJ program lets you mix music and other audio recordings live. When loading a music track onto a deck Zulu will automatically scan the file for a beat and assign a beat per minute (BPM), and will change the tempo in the second deck for perfect synchronization. Drag and drop music into and around the application's interface and preview an upcoming track through headphones via a secondary audio output. Features include: Crossfade in between two tracks, Automatic beat detection, Synchronization between the Decks, Supports a large number of audio file formats including wav (multiple codecs), MP3, VOX, GSM, real audio, AU, AIF, FLAC, and OGG. Change the pitch in real time of each track, slow it down or speed it up to manually sync it with the other tracks, Add a cue pointer marker at any point in a track to instantly start playing the track from that point, loop sections within a track and synchronize that loop to the BPM, real time equalization on each Deck (track) including "kill" buttons for instant EQ, apply effects in real-time to a track, effects include distortion, high pass filter, Reverb, Phaser, Flanger, and Delay, and separate output for headphones.

Tutorial for Setting Up Audio In Reaper

2:49 PM Posted by Jhui , No comments
OK, so the first thing you have to do after you download and install REAPER is to set up the audio. The reason they make you do this is because most people use REAPER with a recording interface that uses an ASIO driver. But you are just a random guy who wanted to make some tunes in your spare time, right? So you just want to click OK to that message that pops up, make sure WaveOut is selected and Microsoft Sound Mapper is selected on those menus that pop up, and hit OK again




  • NOTE: If you ever want to try to set up an ASIO driver with your sound card, you will probably want to use ASIO4ALL. Once you download and install it go to Options>Preferences...>Device in REAPER and select ASIO for the audio system. Mess with the settings in "ASIO configuration..." until you get the sound to work. Once you get it working it will work for all eternity. The way you would set that up is different for all systems so I can't really describe it here any farther than that. It's kind of just trial and error. You might even be able to get less of a delay in your sound just by messing with the other "Audio Systems" in REAPER, I don't know. (I have a recording interface, teehee).

Basic Project Setting Cubase 5 Tutorial

2:48 PM Posted by Jhui , 1 comment

Hello all,This is my First Cubase 5 Tutorial.
My tutorial will be about how to set up the proper bit rate and wave resolution to use cubase to it's fullest.
Let's start by opening up cubase:

Second, let's open a new project like this:

tutorial part 1


Now, let's go to the project setup page.

tutorial part 2


Here is the main project setup page where you can choose the most important setting for all the project.

tutorial part 3


Open the sample rate box to choose your desired sample rate. The standard sample rate is 44.1 khz, but most of the new sound cards should at least give you 96 khz, and in the major studios and for DVD productions, you can also use the 192 khz rate.  The most recomended rate for a first project will be 44 khz.
Open the small "Record Format" window:
tutorial part 4
Here you can set the resolution of the recorded wave files.  the standard is 16 bit, but actually it would be advised to use 24 bit.  If you have a lot of HD space and a fast computer, you can always use 32 bit float.
This is it, all that is left is to start a great musical project and start working :)

Rapid Start in Cubase by Creating Templates

12:32 AM Posted by Jhui , No comments

To some, the idea of working with a template sounds like working within boundaries or limits.
It’s not like this at all when it comes to working in Cubase. Using templates can actually get you
right into the creative process and skip all the boring setup procedures that usually come with
preparing for a day in the studio.working with a template can save you several steps and could also prevent you from creating a “messy” work area.

First, let’s go to the very beginning. Restart Cubase.



1.Start by adding and naming all your tracks.

2.Color code your tracks.

3.Set Your presets on Vst Instruments.

4.Don’t forget to set up your processors and EQ on your audio tracks.

select Save As Template under the File menu.

Next time you open cubase you will see the saved template available.
