Wake the Dead 4 https://www.facebook.com/events/276635079063935/

Gonna try and list some shows with flyers that I know of or hear about in Arkansas. • ShowFest - May 19th - 20th • MSA CarShow - June 2nd • Wake The Dead - Oct. 20th - 21st Motorsport Authority CarShow and Audio Competition http://www.msacarshow.com/

I've tried looking myself, but my best guess is to Check with the producer of the segment, Wayne Harris, I'm sure one of the editors has the name of the song somewhere.

That first one I'm not familiar with, but the second one I've heard. Bass Mekanik's material can be easily found, it's on iTunes as well as his website and his bandcamp page. He's also on facebook if you wanted to ask him directly.

My friend Jonathan's 4 15's in 4th order blowthrough shot on Nikon D3s with 24/70 f/2.8 lens. Audio recorded on camera. For those of you interested in improving your videos here are some pointers to consider. And if you have any suggestions feel free to add to this thread as well. For All to know: • Know your camera/phone: various settings, what it can and cannot do. See if you can control the audio on your camera • purchase a decent tripod or monopod(one legged extendable tripod) • If you're shooting in low light or at night, bring some kind of Flash Light or LED light. • Have a plan of what you're going to shoot and how you're going to shoot it. ------------------- Basic Level: Some Camera functions to know: • Point and Shoot and on DSLR: -Auto= noobie mode, or do it all for me, -M=Manual Mode (you're in control of everything), -A=Aperture Priority Mode (you set the aperture and the camera adjusts the shutter speed accordingly), -S=Shutter Priority Mode (You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the Aperture accordingly) -P= Program Mode (like an advanced auto mode, camera adjusts shutter and aperture based on the given light of the subject you are shooting. --------------------- Aperture: The F-Stop value that is assigned to the given size opening that ls letting light into the lens/camera. i.e. F/5.6. The smaller the number the wider the opening. F/5.6 To F/32. Shutter Speed: How fast the given light is allowed to enter the lens/camera. i.e. 4 seconds ( 4") or 1/4000. ISO: If you remember buying rolls of film. This is the film's speed number. The higher the number the "faster" it can capture the image. Also, the higher the number the grainier the image can become. And vice versa, the lower the number the greater quality the captured image can become, but also the longer the time it takes to capture the image. i.e. ISO 400 and ISO 3200. *The Door Analogy: Imagine opening a door. How wide you open the door, is the aperture, i.e. cracking the door open vs. opening the door fully wide. How fast you open and close the door determines the Shutter Speed, slowly opening the door vs. snatching it open quickly and slamming it shut. Metering: In the camera there are these indicators: - .......0....... + • If you are taking a pic and the camera meters the subject based on a given setting and the meter is "+", the captured image will be OVEREXPOSED, or washed out. • If you are taking a pic and the camera meters the subject based on a given setting and the meter is "--", the captured image will be UNDEREPOSED, or a dark image. • If the meter is "0" then the camera will capture an overall correctly exposed image based on your given settings. ------------------- Advanced Level: Lens: Kit vs. Prime- • Kit Lens= 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, or 18-270mm f/3.5-5.6 - The f/3.5-5.6 means at 18mm the Widest aperture is 3.5 and at 55mm the widest aperture is 5.6 - some kits come with VR lenses which stand for Vibration Reduction, which is great for handheld video/pictures. But never to be turned on when on a tripod. • Prime Lens= 50mm f/1.8 or 28mm f/2.8, or 24-70mm f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8 - The aperture on these lenses can go down to that f-stop number (and at any focal length on a zoom lens). i.e. a 70-200 can be as wide as 2.8 at 70mm and at 200mm. In-Camera Settings: EV - Exposure Value, it's a given starting point, say if you were using filters that darken the image to a negative but you want that to be your 0 starting point, so you adjust back to 0 from the negative number. AE-L- Auto Exposure Lock- So when shooting video the camera doesn't automatically adjust exposure. Filters: UV - Ultra Violet - mostly used to protect the lens. ND - Neutral Density Filters, can cut the amount of given light going into lens by means of f/stops but without making an Aperture changes. Analogy - a car with a window tint vs. a car without. Circular Polarizers- Cuts some light, but mostly used to photograph objects that tend to put of a glare like cars or buildings. This is used to cut the glare and in some cases allow to see through shiny surfaces, i.e. water. -Audio Levels, mostly set on auto but if recording music, set to lowest setting and if yhou can preview your levels, do so, or if the camera has a mic input, invest in a professional audio field recorder like a zoom H4n and an audio splitter, so you can connect headphones to hear the audio your recording, monitor and adjust the audio levels, and pipe the audio directly into your camera. Some advanced cameras as that used above will allow you to control ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture while using video. Other you may have to trick them, like using Aperture Priority on a D5100 and adjusting the EV values for it to adjust shutter speed. Shutter Speed - for cinematic purposes (on a really light level) rule of thumb is if shooting a 24 fps (frames per second) video to set shutter speed at 1/60 or twice as fast. To capture the action especially rapid movement, higher shutter speeds would be desired. For more natural or some bluriness, then use slower shutter speeds. You don't need Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut to edit, sometimes I use the Youtube editor to cut videos. Also, it's better to shoot 10 seconds of a 4 second footage, instead of 3 minutes of the same thing. (more for editing and storage space). Also, think wide shot, close up, and creative/panning And rule of thirds, try not to shoot something centered in the viewing area. Divide the screen by thirds horizontally and vertically and where the lines intersect, be sure that your subject's interest, i.e. eyes or hands are located in that particular area. And one more thing, it's okay to shoot video in vertical mode, not everybody has to shoot video in horizontal fashion. I hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Let me know what you think. i think this isn't your personal spot to sell your songs/beats. Please (if you like), re-upload (with info on your site, or purchase info removed). You have been warned.

Thanks for the video, what is your system's sweet spot for music?

I use a macbook pro $1600 +- with Virtual DJ Pro running a Hercules Rmx Controller $300+-. Have had no problems with it. I was on a limited budget and wanted to spin various artists along with my original music, and could not afford cdjs or vinyl turntables. I spin house, trance, electro, and some dubstep. You can visit my page - As far as cdjs vs. vinyl vs. laptop with controllers go? It all comes down to what you have already, if you have a bunch of bought cds then cdjs (Pioneer cdj-1000) would be best, if you have alot of vinyl, then turntables (technics 1200 direct drive) would be your best bet. But if you are just getting into it, then a nice laptop with an external harddrive, and a dj controller like Allen & Heath, Numark NS Series, Hercules Series would do. As far as software goes - Virtual DJ, Traktor, and Serato. I've seen djs that vinyl using Serato to control mp3 with vinyl, and cd djs control mp3 with cds. They switch to a more convenient setup of having mp3s on laptop and controlling them by either controller, cdj or vinyl. So they wouldn't have to carry so many cds or precious vinyl. Sound? Well, your on a car audio forum and you could build your own - like Steve did But some that I like are: QSC, EV (Electro-Voice), Funktion-One, Void Acoustics, etc. Mixers? That's up to you, if you are djing parties and not providing sound for a live band, then most dj mixers (2 to 6 channel) have a mic input or two. Lights? Some can be bought in packages or separates, note that LED Light panels and strips can change colors and can play an image or video. And if money wasn't an issue - xl video (think deadmau5 visuals) Websites for gear?

Created and mastered in Propellerheads Record/Reason. It's not boosted, I made the track and worked on getting it as loud as possible without distortion.

Prelude!!!! I like the setup! Quick question, what's under the hood? My buddy did a frankenstein setup H22head on h23 bottom end.

Anybody gonna make a quick test video playing this track?

Sup fellow bassheads, I got a new song I'd like for you to test and post a demo video of your vehicle playing the song. Rocktown SPL "Watch it Bang" is a hip hop themed "showin off" style bass track that peaks at 37 hz but ranges down from 50. You can play it here: http://soundcloud.co...l-watch-it-bang And Download the track here: http://soundcloud.co...t-bang/download Be sure to upload a demo video of your system playing the track. Also not required but would be helpful if you put "....playing rocktownspl watch it bang" in your title so i can link it to my youtube channel: youtube.com/rocktownspl Thank you for your time.

I was wondering if anybody had any old Cerwin Vega woofer action footage to reply with them. Here's one that I shot from a car show years and years ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v83R5bh5y0o

What's up. Did a new experimental: Black Eyed Peas - Rockin To The Beat Slowed and Bass boosted Quick Download Link: Download Here From Soundcloud To listen online: Preview Track And as always, I have my full test tones and sweeps which you can find and download here: Soundcloud Swwep and Tones Set

I had to use 2 flashlights to add to the room light, since high speed shooting tends to darken the footage during capture.

I recently saw Steve's video with the slo-motion woofer excursion and wanted to test my girlfriend's camera in shooting a bookshelf speaker playing a sweep. I was using a Nikon s8100 which has a special setting for high speed shooting, 240fps. I don't have any large woofers to test it on but this would have to do for now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pG62OB-1T4

If it were to be for my car, there's about a foot of spacing behind the rear of the wall, the batteries would be from left to right, probably about 4 total. The amps would be vertically mounted on the left and right side above the batteries. Also, The rear hatch has a "dead" area that's not being used, so a big amp or multiple small ones would go there, top removed with accent neon and covered with plexiglass.

Thank you, I was thinking like no more than 1,000 each on the max side.

Just added a more designed version of the setup. I did some base measurements for my car 49 across 38 high and 46 depth. Also I was thinking if this were to be a setup using subs that are not as tall. The second photo of all the sides is a scaled down version.

This is a quick sketch of a wall design for a 4 door compact car or hatch, with a 4 subs in a clam shell with a port in the middle, as well as side ports being for the front chamber of the subs that are mounted on the sides of the rear chamber of the clam shell. All backs of the woofers are in the same chamber that fire through the port that is in the center of the clam shell. No particular tuning goal, just an open design for a wall with 8 18's or 15's for a compact car. The wall and port would be at the back of the front seats to the back of the car with spacing for amp rack and batteries. What are your thoughts? Here's a follow up concentrated design of it:

Believe it or not, but those bass lines were already in the song, I just boosted them, or increased the volumes of the bass. Most of what I did to Pretty Lights were based on the idea of how people like Tommy McKinnie and them like to hear r&b or so while demoing their vehicles.
