In about 11 days I’ll be moving into residence at College and I have thought it would be a great place to start something seeing s usually people just fire up a playlist and let it go for the night. Seeing as I like to only drink with my friends and I am not into weed or any other substances I think it could be a great way to feel comfortable with people yet I don’t have to sorry about crazy transitions or effects. What do you guys think?
Also I have noticed that VDJ saves the hot cues for each song in its memory, so if I set 4-5 on Shots by LMFAO for example it would save them the next time I drag it up. Seeing as I don’t have an external sound card to me this is an easy way to find build up’s, signifigant baselines and other key parts of the song people know. Do you guys see an issue for now having those preset before an event?
Finally, is it bad to create a playlist, or some sort of list the consists of songs to play together before the night? Or is this something that should usually be done? I know they say know your music and I do well enough, but some songs I know g really well at this point and I have tried every song combination yet.
Thanks again for your responses, Matt 🙂
Hello Matt 🙂
Yes; I Feel a Playlist is Vital (or at least when I began DJ’ing a Written List of the Order Of Play During My Set);
This ‘List’ (Playlist) then gave me the Opportunity to ‘Develop’ Further Playlists;
If Our Software gives us the ‘Facility’ of Creating Loops Before Our Set; that we can then Use In Our Set; then that is also a Great Option; and can be used to ‘Further Develop Your Style’;
I think your idea of Playing at College is also a Great One; and I Wish you Well 🙂
