The acapella from this month goes back to 1985, when Colonel Abrams’ single Trapped went supernova in the charts. A great song with a funky baseline and soulful vocals.

Here is a short photo impression o Carnaval 2010 at the TienerTenT Nuenen. Pictures are from the last evening when I helped Mike out with his busy schedule. In my previous blog posing you can find the mashup of that evening.

As special gift for the Carnaval DJ Mike On Tour and I created an exclusive mashup of Def Rhymz and DJ Debonair. Both Schudden and Samir’s Theme are beloved among the youth in Nuenen and a perfect fit to spin in the TienerTenT during Carnaval 2010.

Since the last Traktor beta I blogged about there have been a couple of updates making 1.2.4 the most current version. The updates include support for new controllers, among of them Native Instruments’ own Kontrol X1. What also has been updated is the Time Code signal for CDs with version 0.0.2.

When you live in the south of the Netherlands there is no escape to Carnaval 2010. Just a few more days and the festivities will start. Streets and bars filled with people dressed up and ready to party hardy. Oh and not to forget, DJs working there ass off from way to early in the morning till… well almost the next morning.

For some reason I completely forgot to publish a new acapella of the month. But with Feel it 2008 from the Tamperer Feat. Maya I would like to make up for the absent.

While working on my big Acapella session in Ableton Live I accidently pressed the key combination CTRL + F instead of something else I was trying to press. It seems that CTRL + F activates a nice feature I wasn’t aware of, called Follow play timeline.

Since the new template, the website performance had increased already a little bit. However, the server performance was still poor and slowing the website down. Especially when it comes to the generation of the web pages, since actual download speed has always been good with speeds of 5 MB/s. But that has changed and the website performance has had a boost.

In this tutorial I will describe how to make the Perfect MIDI Sync between two Ableton Live computers. I will use two Windows XP systems, but it is also possible to do this between a Windows XP and Mac OS X system. For more background information regarding MIDI Sync options and MIDI Time Code you can read my previous blog posting about this. And best of all, the MIDI Sync will be free.

Last monday I already wrote about the recent increase of web traffic. Studying the logs I found out that there was a lot of traffic comming from Bee Mp3.
