ConKussed Top eJay Tip
To make a tired eJay sample sound a bit better, have a bit more prescence, export the sample by itself, at the eJay's original set tempo speed to a wav file. Open it in a good audio editor and start experimenting by boosting frequencies, adding or removing bass, removing or boosting top end sounds, reversing the sound, adding flange, filter sweeps and echo etc, it'll make your mixes sound a lot better (and slightly more original) in the long run. Then cut off the silence at the end of the sample and re-import back into eJay.

ConKuss (or CK to his friends) is an alternative/metal techno artist. He's been part of the eJay community since December 2000 and has enjoyed every day of it. He loves homemade dabblings and solutions to things, and recons there's nothing like getting your hands dirty and simply experimenting.
He makes his music with some software synthesisers and a physical keyboard, and has been using Dance eJay 2 for a couple of years now after playing around with a mate's copy of DE1.
CK used to play bass guitar/drums in a Thrash Metal Band called 'Formerly Neclecide' around Oldham for about two to three years around the end of the '80s - the start of the '90s, but got fed up with carting a fifteen piece drumkit around.
ConKuss is a well known character on the eJay boards, who has done regular reviews, and generally contributed fully to the community.
How would you class his music? A combination of spoken word poetry to hard dark dance.
Having met CK at this years eJayberFest 2001 party where he performed live for the very first time, it's easy to see that he's a kind of gentle giant and he recons he's in a strange half way point within his eJay career. Now he's done that first performance, he is quite excited about all the exposure, and the fact that peeps are starting to know who he is and what he does.
He's fired up about the potential that the eJay community has to expand into something unified and recons the community is far more powerful than just a bunch of peeps competing to see who can use a £30 piece of software to make music better than the other persons.
Look out for perfomance number 2 at Fest 2 sometime next year but if you can't wait until then, he's due for another live performance at S'kiri's party in Manchester in January.
