No question.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s this Pearsall&#8217;s Acid Test business, then?<\/p>\n<p>Well, as I mentioned in the post accompanying <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/?p=1028\">Inside The Crate (A Skream Tribute)<\/a>, I&#8217;ve recently switched to a new system of recording mixes, a process which has had some hiccups. Basically, I moved the decks into the living room, away from my desktop computer, so I&#8217;ve started using my netbook to record mixes. The one problem with this approach was that most of the recording would be fine, except for a few little skips where the audio cuts out for a fraction of a second. As anyone who heard Inside The Crate will have noticed, these skips are not a major problem, but they are a little bit of a surprise. When I recorded Cold World there were a number of these skips, maybe 6 or 7 in total &#8211; not enough to totally ruin the mix, but annoying enough that I decided that I needed to figure out how to stop these skips from occurring and then re-record Cold World.<\/p>\n<p>Having fussed around with various settings, I eventually figured that I had a pretty good idea of how to make sure that these little skips wouldn&#8217;t happen whilst recording a mix. However, because Cold World is over 70 minutes long, I thought that it would be a good idea to first do a shorter mix in order to properly test this new setup. Since I&#8217;ve been listening to Fil Devious&#8217; fantastic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bangingtunes.com\/forum\/topic\/t140753\/\">Route Blaster<\/a> mix a lot recently, I thought that it would be nice to do a short London acid techno mix. Anyways, it&#8217;s been two years since <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/?p=55\">Squat Rocking 3<\/a>, so it&#8217;s certainly due!<\/p>\n<p>Having made this decision, I quickly pulled out ten acid bangers and smashed them together. The results speak for themselves!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy! ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short London acid techno mix!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[11],"class_list":["post-1059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mixes","tag-acid"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1059"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6120,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1059\/revisions\/6120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
