From what I understand, EVERY DJ Kicks release (except for the John Acquaviva "Skills" CD, which is part of an actual DJ mix series) is done in Pro Tools (yes, even the Carl Craig/Claude Young/Kevin Saunderson/etc...). Kind of defeats the concept of DJ mix CD's, but of course yields excellent results in a non-real-time composition of a DJ set. Coldcut's "Journeys By DJ" set sort of proved the use of this technique, apparently they had been composing all of their radio shows for years this way, ahead of time. -Våt ____________________ Reckankreuzungsklankewerkzeuge PO BOX 382864.
