Spain in the arse - first adventures in Soundforge
Spain In The Arse - MH Edit by Mark Hawkins
My first lesson in Soundforge Circa 2000 - Field recording originally made at “The End Of The World Party”, Costa Brava, Spain.
A subverted DJ mix from one of the Babble DJs on the Smokescreen/BWPT soundsystem - This unfortunate DJ had been picked out for ridicule by the boys, poor sod, as JE:5’s Live rig was plugged into channel 3.
A pair of headphones were plugged into the live set mixer and the realisation had dawned that the level on channel 3 could be sneaked up while the dj’s back was turned and DJ WOT became master of ceremonies. poking fun at the cheese of the house music an anyone else unfortunate to fall onto the dancefloor during his watch.
The following autumn I used the recording to experiment with Soundforge at Stayfree in Leicester and basically taught myself how to manipulate audio. And this was long before I ever heard the Noodles stuff or Cassetteboy!
