Dj 1800 Dinosaur
Jul 29, 2016 With a string of understated 12' releases, 1-800 Dinosaur are now set to unveil their first full-length release. Anchored by Trim's polarising narrative, '1-800 DINOSAUR Presents Trim' is a collaborative endeavour featuring a slew of 1-800 members and affiliates, including: Happa, Dan Foat, Airhead, James Blake, Klaus Boothroyd and Bullion.
- Dinosaur DJ Lyrics: It is five hundred trillion BC / And the asteroid is coming for the Earth / Everyone there is happsy: / The dinosaurs, the ferns, the, uh, the fishes / But in one second.

There wouldn't be anything wrong with this if Trim hadn't been picking this wound since at least 2011. It was other artists' shots at the charts at the turn of the decade that caused Trim—a prickly character with an unusual aesthetic sense—to disconnect from the scene. He became a sort of grime Sensational, collaborating across the electronic music spectrum with the likes of Mumdance, Dro Carey, Riva Starr and Commodo. But after an album for Rinse never surfaced (Trim fell out with them, too), the MC's solo career faltered. Judging by the content of his debut LP—which has come out several years later, and in a different form—he's followed the success of his grime contemporaries with some resentment.
It's a shame that Trim can't just let it go, because his constant griping undermines his talents—if you can look past the wounded ego, 1-800-Dinosaur Presents Trim shows that he has plenty. Faced with a volley of bizarre beats from a crew of leftfield producers, the MC keeps his poise and style. The strangest of the lot comes from James Blake: 'RPG' is actually the album's weak spot, with haunted fairground synths working like a prankster against Trim's vocal, as if Blake is still in the bootlegger mindset of his Harmonimix series. Other producers are more sympathetic. Airhead draws on the space and warm weight of dubstep for his three beats; Happa's hulking, horn-led 'Before I Lied' has an undeniable momentum; Bullion packs the heat-warped weirdness of his recent album into 'Among The Living'.
Lyrically, Trim isn't at his most mind-bending—he seems to have slowed his verbal metabolism to match the often thoughtful instrumentals—but he's not without witty moments. (On 'Man Like Me,' his 'Flow's like arse / Kiss me'; on 'Waco' he's 'Such a big Big Mac to these gherkins.') Balancing things out are a couple of peeks behind the ego. On the Boothroyd-produced 'White Room,' shimmering pianos and guitar-like swoons prompt a rare flash of self-doubt. 'Or am I some form of tulip in a cabbage patch / Lost in hope of winning a set / And stuck on stupid / Sending out silly little threats to my opposition?' he asks. Trim definitely isn't stuck on stupid, but a bit more self-awareness wouldn't go amiss.

HUGE!
Its designed to be “plug and play” and easy to use with all of your gear — studio mics, vocal performance mics, guitars, basses, keyboards — whatever it is, iRig Pro I/O can probably handle it. It features a new 1/8″ stereo headphone out with preamp and level control, making it compatible with even the most recent iOS. Jul 23, 2019 How to record guitar with an iRig Pro I/O in GarageBand iOS on an iPad or iPhone. In this video, I take the iRig Pro I/O audio interface for a test drive by recording some guitars in GarageBand iPad. Honestly, recording via garage band is so amateurish it’s almost a joke. GarageBand and irig is a total waste of anyone’s time. Yes, It’s completely possible to record professional quality audio on your ipad but the first thing to do is forget about garage band all together and get the right apps and hardware. Bought an IRIG I/O 49 key specifically designed for IPAD last year (For my son) However it charges and interfaces over the normal IPAD standard port. Is irig pro compatible with garageband ipad 4. Jul 30, 2011 I have the iRig working just fine on iPad 2 with GarageBand. Just plug it in and run the app GarageBand. It works nice for practice but its a little bit noise for recording.
