Trick-heads unite! How did Danja make the keys start/stop like this on "Echo?"

The turntable effect the way the keys drag when they start/stop.

How did he do that? My only guess is he burned the keys onto a cd and did it with a cd dj-player but there's gotta be an easier way. Dope track nonetheless!

Digidesign makes a plugin called Vari-Fi that does what I think you're talking about.

Digidesign Varifi plugin. I think it's only for TDM though but I might be wrong.

It's an AudioSuite plug; works in both LE and HD.

Great! Thanks people!

I'm a check it out, love the track, love the effect...

Danja is a beast! Agreed that the song per se ain't fantastic, but the track/mix is great.

Every body on this forum knows danja is my biggest influence, when i heard this track i was flipping but what go tme was the way ciara layed down her vox, sound like she straining to keep up, i dunno, im going to try to look for the instrumental....

BTW to get this effect, use Tape Stop, its free, cant beat that

BTW does anybody kno how to automate tape stope the right way, cuz when i do it its always wrong......

PSM any suggestions, (not downing everybody else, philly suggested tape stop first so he must know things about it)

I havent had the need to automate Tape Stop but I would assume that you would put it in bypass mode first and click it in when you want the effect and then bypass again..etc.

I still think Ciara sucks though.
Talk about a chick who lucked out.

ciaras a great dancer, supposedly she has been taking opera lessons for her voice, most of her songs are fast paced so she's not really singing singing lol she' more like rap singing lol most of you will get what I mean. but I still like her as a artiist and dancer she has some excellent songs

hey psm ill tell you who's ealy lucky....cassie and its so obvious that she made it based on looks. it also seems like danja is becoming a prominent producer every body wants to work with him

It was rumored that it wasnt really her song, the first single she came out with, was written and performed by some one else....i dunno maybe it was fake rumor so the other person can get some money, but yeah she was terrible, you can always tell by their live performances



anyway, here's another awesome yet simple track produced by danja

most record execs, looking for sex appeal, see back in the 90's you had singers like aaliyah, RIP, who had looks, and could actually sing, also mary j blidge...Keyshia Cole although she wasnt present in the 90's could sing very well, i actually cant wait for her new album to come out, she's working with danja as well

Yea lumidee aint a great singer but I liked that song feat speedy (no the best reggaetonero outhere either)... pretty catchy.



Ciara aint a good singer but damn! she looked super hot in that 1 2 step vid, pretty catchy too.
