What's your Music Style?

[Xenobase]

Some question's for everyone!

What kind of music do you play at gigs?
Which music Genres do you like, and which do you totally hate
And last but not least if you make music yourself using Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio ?

[Xenobase]

I'll start

I don't play at gigs yet, and due to some private problems I won't untill the summer
So I can eventually help at the forums! -Cut the crap-

I likes several music styles;
On number 1: House
On number 2: Electro House
Shared number 3: Progressive house & Trance

Much I's but last 'I' I'll use:
I create music using FL Studio, done it for few years now, but inspiration faded the last months. Guess it's the time of the year
If you wan't to hear some visit my youtube channel (search for Xenobase)!

Your turn's

OK, I will try this one too.

On gigs I have to play what ever makes the crowd move he best, within reason. I have used the entire 'techno' genre in the past but I dont like ALL of it. I have a love for older rock songs remixed to house beats (Dirty Funker Remix, Eric Pridz Remix, Global Dj's is a good one too) and newer R&B remixes to a club or house beat. There are songs from all the sub-genres that I like and use. Its a mood for me, someimes Trance, other times Electro House, all depends on what I feel inside.

When I had the studio (closed it last year) I used Acid Pro 6 for about everything. For a quick pre-recorded mix set I liked Mix Miester Express.

Well, let's see now...

For the moment, i'm not mixing at any gigs ( only now and then at some of the parties my friends throw ). VIM's got me doing other stuff anyway, so... .

When it comes to music genre, i'm all about jungle, ragga jungle, breakbeat, hip-hop, speed garage and a bit of grime.

As for making music, haven't really done that in a serious manner. Used Ableton a couple of times to make some beats, but just for fun .

Peace,
Survi out.

I have not mixed for a while but when I do I like hip hop, old school funk r&b and I have been getting into some house stuff too!!!

[Iceman]

on the gigs i mix what the people ask for...
on events like House parade I make my gig how I like and I like Trance (teck trance, hard trance, vocal trance... trance)

I like the 90's, I like dance, I like a lots of stiles... now I'm concentrate on trance...

I hate a lot of songs from stile caled here in Romania, MANELE... If u wanna listen search for guta, salam, copilu de aur and there are a lot...

I use FL for my songs... You can listen it on my site: http://www.icemanthedj.lx.ro or on myspace acount: http://www.myspace.com/icemanthedj

What is a good music making program that is free? I need a music making program that is good and easy to use. I need it to create music for a song that I am making. I have already tried Mario Paint Composer and Audacity, but those don't seem to work out.

[Xenobase]

You could try Sony's Acid Xpress 7, or you could try out the demo of FL Studio!
The demo offers all functions, only you aren't allowed to save the project file (but you can export it as mp3 or wav )

Lmms: Linux MultiMedia Studio:

http://lmms.sourceforge.net/home.php

Works very similar to Fruity Loops Pro.


PS. yes they have a native windows version..

I had never heard of Manele befor so I did a search on it as you said. I found it to be interesting music, although its in a language I dont understand or speak. I read about it first at this page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manele then I looked up some songs and listened. Not what I would listen to most of the time but I can listen to it sometimes and enjoy it.

Thanks for shareing something new to me Iceman.....
