Brokenchord - Blue Star EP (Out Now)

jamesmidik — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:25:25 +0000

Automatic buy imo. Dude’s Mary Anne Hobbs mix was/still is massive. This Bluestar EP contains the tracks that made up a big part of that mix. Go get it now on Black Acre Records at Beatport or other fine retailers.

Rekordbox (Free from Pioneer)

jamesmidik — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 05:36:47 +0000

Am I late on this? Probably. I haven’t been DJing much but I have an enormous amount of tracks I’ve collected over the last 3 months. Looking for a way to organize them I came across Rekcordbox from Pioneer. Its labeled as “DJ Management Software” and its FREE (From Pioneer of all companies).

Anyways, I’ve installed it and started to organize my loose tracks that are building up on my hard drive. Its really nice software. Automatically calculates BPM of the track once imported (and its accurate). Imports album covers, ID3 Tag info and any information stored in there. Its everything you need, and its cuts out all the stuff I don’t want from software like MediaMokey or something else similar.

Well worth a DL: Snag it from here.

Pretend (Dubstep)

jamesmidik — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:27:41 +0000

Morning Memory (Electronic)

Far from Hostel (Electronic)

jamesmidik — Sat, 22 May 2010 03:24:57 +0000

So I spent last weekend at the Tree-House Hostel in Brunswick, GA. Really awesome place. Brought my Tascam DR-07 with me and snagged some quality drum circle playing. Also snagged some cool forest samples which I plan to use later. Anyways, this track is based on some of the sounds I came back with. Lush heat.

Tech-House Mini Mix July

jamesmidik — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:30:58 +0000

Been a long June/July and I haven’t gotten much accomplished on the music end of things. Life has a funny way of preventing that from time to time.

But on to the matter at hand. This is a short and sweet mini-mix I did today, (first one since my ear infection has subsisted!). Not a very long mix, but some real bangers in there. Anyways, hope you enjoy it.

My XONE:3D Bomes Template

jamesmidik — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:59:36 +0000

This is my XONE:3D Bomes Mouseless template I’ve been using for the last couple of weeks that I made. Its done with the Free Bomes MT version. It will also work for the XONE1D or 2D. I use a PC, so I’m not sure if this will convert to MAC or not.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You’ll Need to Download:

Midik’s Bomes XONE:3D Template Pack <–Right Click & Save As

Pack Contents:

BOMES MT Free Version (http://www.bome.com/)
Midi Yoke (http://www.midiox.com/)
Image of Control Layout
Instructions on setting it all up.

How to get it to work:

Install Bomes Midi Translator (included in DLed Pack)
Install Midi Yoke (included in DLed Pack)
Open Ableton Deactivate your XONE:3D in Midi Sync. Track=Off Remote=Off
Open Bomes
In Bomes choose “Midi In” as XONE:3D Midi
Choose “Midi Out” as Midi Yoke: 1
Go back to Ableton
Turn on track and remote Midi Yoke:1 under Midi Sync in Ableton Preferences
On the Bomes icon in your system tray (by the clock) Right Click and select “Midi Thru”
Go to Bomes and open the XONE:3D Template (included in the DLed pack).
Go back to Ableton and enjoy!

That’s it! You can now use the mouseless nav template. Included in the DL pack is an image of the control layout, or check it out on flicker here >

I’m working on adding a shift button in order to double the controls. I will post a new template up once its finished.

Editing this Ableton Template for a Different Controller In Bomes

Double click on the “Incoming Trigger” you wish to remap to your controller
Check the box “Capture Midi”
Press your midi key, pad, or pot/knob
Select that note from the list
Click apply
Keystroke should now be mapped to your controller
Go to Live, and try it out!

Thats all you need to do for applying these setting to your different controller (Trigger Finger, midi keyboard, ect..). All these keystrokes are for Ableton Live, so as long as you’re using that, you’re good!

Enjoy!
