If I recorded all my originals on to my ipod and then played them at a venue that had one of these, would that be acceptable as long as I held each record up as it was playing?

Actually there is a better model, you only need one ipod:

I love this bit....

"would that be acceptable as long as I held each record up as it was playing?"

HAHA! Good question, I look forward to seeing replies from all the usual suspects!

:lol:

Would you be digitising your 45s straight to the iPod or on to a computer first?

If the latter, then I'm afraid there is a problem. When transferring a file from your computer to the iPod, you are in fact making a copy of the original. This means that the iPod files are reissues.

As we all know, the Soul Police frown upon 2nd issues, repressings, call them what you will.

Not convinced that the ones on your iPod are reissues? Consider - when you transfer the file to your iPod, you have the song on this device and the original on your hard drive. Admittedly it's very hard to tell them apart, especially as no matrix numbers are to be found in the run-out grooves of either, and John Manship has yet to publish his digital bootlegs and repressings guide, but the Soul Police can always tell.

It's almost like bootlegging your own 45s, but bootlegging them for yourself! And that will never do!!

Having said that, forward looking and more technologically minded soulies - particularly those who are a bit business savvy - will soon start swapping, buying and selling these files.

Eventually this will lead to the development of the Northern Soul ODO market - Original Digital Only.

Already happening.

I wouldn't take it too seriously Russell dust, I think Paul's just pulling our lariat.

Yes

Take it seriously? Of course Paul's having a laugh - and so am i...

All ready happening.

Great news!

The perfect design for shoving it up your @rse.

Why go to all the trouble of buying that bit of kit, there is an App that you can down load to you iphone or ipad that give you two turn tables, mixer, crossfading and a whole bunch more....

How did you find it Dave? lol

Ha Ha, I love the smell of irony first thing in the morning!

How did you find it Dave? lol

Mark

I found it very acceptable

think of all the requests you could fit into 1 hour of djn (100s) no need to carry 800 records around with you any more :lol:

why do you need an iPod? Why not simply use your laptop and use one of the great DJ programs, DJay 3 or VirtualDJ for example.

edit: Just seen Dave T's post. DJay 3 is about the best for your iPad.

..and would it be ok to run the shazam app while you're playing Paul.?

Very true - I did a podcast using the ipad 2 recently, was ill in bed and basically you just load up the tracks and it does it for you

think of all the requests you could fit into 1 hour of djn (100s) no need to carry 800 records around with you any more :lol:

No, you're missing the point, you would still have to carry the records. If you can't show the records you could have recorded somebody else's records or even from a boot.

What's an iphone? I have a nokia that still works as well as when I got it in 2001 - i think I can play mp3s on it but have never tried. I did have The Four Tops - Reach Out as a ring tone until it rang when I was on the train and the whole carriage joined in.

..and would it be ok to run the shazam app while you're playing Paul.?

The only Shazam that I know was the thing that flashed on the screen at ABC minors when that bloke changed into Captain Marvel (or summat). We all used to flip the folding seats back up and start kicking the bottom - it made a hell of a row when the whole cinema did it. The bloke in the dickie bow would turn up and sling you out if he caught you doing it though (err... kicking the seat that is)

No, you're missing the point, you would still have to carry the records. If you can't show the records you could have recorded somebody else's records or even from a boot.

no your missing the point Paul, if your gonna play off an iopd peeps would have to believe you have the originals as they do when you dj with records anyway, unless the soul police are in town of course

...if your gonna play off an iopd peeps would have to believe you have the originals as they do when you dj with records anyway, unless the soul police are in town of course

Don't forget that with tracks you can upload artwork/images to your iPod. All you need do is wave that at the crowd and there's the proof. Of course, with the majority of punters being old timers these days, they may have a problem seeing such small images without specs on.

But hey, that'll give the moaners something new to go on about

Yeah, but surely you could take a digital photo of you holding the label next to a newspaper with the appropriate date on and then project that photo onto the wall behind the i-pod unit couldn't you? Thus proving to everyone that you have the record but you just couldn't be arsed lugging it to the venue............

But then you'd be lugging a projector unit etc, and, heaven forbid, you could have borrowed the record just for the photo, and not actually own it!

Good fun thread this!

I went to a "soul" do at the start of this year where the guys had decent turntables wired up to mixer and a Mac with some software (name of which escapes me) and screen showed both turntables, mixer, track listings etc etc....On the decks were what looked like records, but must've been digital discs of some sort, with digital stylus to pick up tracking so that they could use decks to mix and adjust pitch / stop & start tracks etc.

All very clever I suppose and I'm not being critical, but but I thought...what's the point?! If you're prepared to lug that lot about and pay a good few quid for the kit, surely just also bring a couple boxes of records or CD's and be done with, after all there was nothing rare / expensive / hard to find being played!

Actually there is a better model, you only need one ipod:

Looks nice, it's even got sliders so you can pretend you're actually DJing instead of being just a glorified jukebox.

What about just copy and past top dj's playlist, show a picture on a screen but don't bother inviting them!!! Ok that would be bootleggin dj's playlist, so what about streaming a random dj actually playing those records at home on original vinyl but listinging miles away at an allnighter or even at home!!!!! Ok that would be almost like radio!!! OK I am lost now. Ahhh f*ck it I'll stick to ovo

if you could be a jukebox what jukebox would you want to be, i always wanted a wurlitzer but not right for 60/70s records so i would now rather be a lookalikey (boot) digital wurlitzer thingy

Seem to recall a "Fake" Apple store being exposed recently.Lets hope your i-pod isn't a fake one Paul.

An I-pod boot, playing boots..lol.
