D.J.Manhattan – Learning Journal

Ok so this weeks video blog was a total fail. I got a couple of good shots but over all i am finding it really difficult of editing my own vids lol…

In other news the saturday nights are really popping now at the bar. My last gig though I definately drank more then i should have so never again. Damn these ppl buying me drinks! good thing my friend drove me home after lol… i wouldent want to take a bus like that. In terms of production I’ve been having a really diffuclt time focusing on making that time. in otherwords its really difficult x.x but no worries i am going to keep at it!

No worries! I’ve got an idea on how to make the vid blog better as a whole and more interesting so il post one up ASAP 🙂 Just need some time to reshoot it.

Back for another week of kicking ass! Short post as I didint do much because it was my birthday WOOT WOOT! but here listen to this while you read. Eargasm in coming: [media=youtube]PIhDGI18x_c[/media]

So I what did I do this week? Not much. I finally bought Ableton 9 Suite with the new incoming Push. I’ve been just chilling and clubbing. I wanted to jump right into ableton but b-day planning came before anything and I had a good 4 days. I basically Partied Thursday – Sunday. I rocked my live wednesday set but now my focus will be a bit different where il probably stream my learning process of ableton. I really sat down with this yesterday (monday) and spent a good 3 hours making sounds and beats. I’m definately getting the hang of it but its still alot to learn! I have my march show coming up and i’m adding on alot more music for my saturday gigs (older hiphop 80’s 90’s). Alright back to music searching, peace! remeber to catch my wednesday show live!

Missed last weeks update so here it is + this weeks 🙂

Too much drama in my life. me and gf have been fighting and finally broke it off. I’l get over it by drowning myself in work. I’ve spent alot of time with ableton recently roughtly 2-3 hours daily and am definately getting the hang of it. I am finding it hard to create melodies that i like but im guessing that it will just take time. I’ve gone out to see a couple of DJ’s live recently and its really starting to sink in that alot of them are just Hype… my mixing (in my oppinion) is no worse then theirs especially the regular club DJ’s in which my mixing is usually better. all thats left for me to do is to bring that hype up and start getting those club gigs. im slowing building and finding connections so hopefully something will become of that. My online show is slowly building as well. not much but a bit and thats great 🙂 ive been experimenting with production stuff live and i think i kinda like it maybe il stick to that or do that every other week. My event is this friday and one of my connections is bringing some guy from Universal studios so i cant wait 😀 this could be something really good for me :). im going to make sure my set is extra sik. and last but not least im working on new biz cards :).
