Um, you all kind of misunderstand. I wanna help teach him to have an EAR for really good mixing and engineering in music, stuff that audiophiles like (tight bass, a sense of place, stereo imaging, hearing lots of layers yadda yadda yadda), so that he can recreate all of those effects in his music, which he will compose (that's seperate from mixing in a club, where audiophlie stuff goes out the window, and we ALL know it), thereby bringing a new definition to most electronica, which doesn't pay attention to what audiophiles care for...music mixed in a way to make good equipment shine....
The thing is, he WANTS to be an audiophile, and he KNOWS he doesn't have the tools to do it, but he WANTS to get an ear to add cool stuff to the songs he makes....and, thereby, differentiate himself from other dj's, and become unique, which can only be a GOOD THING! And he wants to know equipment to do it, on the cheap....
so, here's what I wanna know....
What can we get him (sl-ct470 + V6?? He's going to get the V6 anyways, for mixing at home) that will be an audiophile system, and can show all of the details that good engineers put in really good, well mixed and recorded music. And we need some music to teach it to him, to tell the difference. I'm already screaming at him to get the Blue Man Group cd, which should show him a lot of what he can do in Electronica instead of normal, but, any more suggestions? What about something to show him for really low bass? Where can one get high, audiophile quality samples of instruments to use in making electronica?
Oh, and by the way, we're a few states away, so I can't go over and show him stuff.....
