traktor pro and logic 8So the great man himself is chatting about his upcoming soundclash at Radio 1′s Swindon ‘Big Weekend‘. Comedy Dave reminds Chris that he has access to the ‘mixmeister’ services of yours truly and next thing you know I’m in the ‘Pop Laboratory’ on what looks like a mammoth ‘mash-up’ session. The plot is to give Moylesey some audio dynamite to blow Tim Westwood off the stage.

With track listing and samples all sorted, everything’s transferred now onto my laptops hard drive running Traktor Pro. The plan..? Use Traktor to stream audio into Logic 8 taking advantage of the audio manipulation power and some cool effects, do tempo changes on linking sections, and generally being my DJ booth for the day.

In Logic 8, I’m adding all crossfades, shifting audio slices around, triggering samples from the EXS rompler and utilising all and any plug in FX that are needed.. I’m on it baby and no doubt ’til gone midnight tonight.. 8-O
