If your teachers in school would have told you ” I’ve studied too hard and long to help you learn.” You wouldn’t even know how to read to map anything. Come on the guy wasn’t asking you to do it for him, he’s just asking for help.

    in theory he was asking for me to do it for him…. asking for a mapping that I spent hours on for free, why couldnt he put time into it???

    Kind of see both sides here, although I’ll always share track names with people. Thanks for keeping it civil guys, it’s only DJing, not religion or politics πŸ™‚

    I dont really like fighting specially when djtt always has fights (it is the main reason I come here now) but I like people to do work also :), if people have specific questions I will gladly help, but asking for it done for them reminds me of that whole “dj 5 dolla holla” thing that was floating around for a while.

    I just talked about this in another thread, but I’ll repeat it anyways.
    Get a DJ Tech I-Mix reload, $200 US, and it’s awesome, nuff said.
    If you have $300 get a Mixvibes U-mix, even more awesome; you get software, and a soundcard with inputs.

    I say just give ’em the map. I mean I might get weired out if the same person kep asking for a map everytime they got something new or wanted a new function. I try to remember how confused I was back when I had to pester Phil for mapping help. So if I have it, I’ll try to get it to them. My mapps are never complete anyways, haha, so they will have to do some work, too.

    my maps are usually pointless to send to people since I have them all in the one file and includes the omni control, hercules controller, nanopad, nano kontrol, ipad and keyboard…. merge them all so that I can use shift keys across many controllers πŸ™‚

    just a quick question, how do you use your iPad for DJing?

    I change between touchmidi and touchosc, mainly touchosc though πŸ™‚ theres some pretty mental stuff that program can do. Ive been looking at the alesis i/o dock which mean I can pretty much use just my ipad as a controller which would be pretty sweet for smaller gigs.

    Gotta say not telling a fellow dj the name of a tune seems kinda harsh, dont get that at all. If you tell him the name of it then next week he plays it before you play your set then a kick in the nuts is entirely justified.

    But the thing is I spend hours everyweek sometimes daily scouring the internet looking for tunes that compliment my style and sets, the reason I do this is so that people come back time and time again to see what I deem as my own style. If I give someone my setlist and songs names I know they wont be able to completely replicate my set since even I find it hard at times but that already takes away some of the unique-ness and also my hard work…. I never really dj’ed in a time where you went to record stores to get tracks but these days instead of there being limited copies of certain tracks everyone has access to the same stuff and its pretty much unlimited so the only way people can keep this stuff unique is being a bit more personal, its why when I play I setup traktor to not show songs names…. I play a lot of electro-house and dubstep nights meaning other djs will be floating around the place… why would they need me back if the opening dj has my tracklist and plays for a lot cheaper. Song choice in my opinion is what sets you apart specially if you dont scratch… anyone can use a gater, filter, beatmasher or phaser…. not everyone puts in time to find killer songs though.
