MemberOnly issue is most drumstep tracks hover at ~170-190bpm. When I do large bpm changes in my mixes I generally to a record stop/braking effect and then cut into the breakdown/drop of the new song.
MemberAlso, Bruno Mars. Women love Bruno Mars for some reason
November 10, 2011 at 1:21 am in reply to: How much time do you spend each week looking for new tracks? #9608MemberI don’t go out specifically looking for new tracks. I do however listen to various mixes from other DJ’s and pay attention to a couple of people on soundcloud. If I hear a track I like, I buy/download it, then go ahead and do all my beatgrids/cue points for them later.

I think it’s just the opposite. People here in Australia don’t listen to stuff like house, dubstep, etc… Most of my requests are for the latest Gaga/Black Eyed Peas/Flo Rida song (I absolutely refuse to play Dirty Bit these days). They like being fed the same songs over and over again. When I was living in canberra, the club that most people would go to would play exclusively top 40’s from the last 5 or so years. It got to the point that after going there once a week for 2 months or so, I could tell you the exact order of the songs the DJ would play. All of my rage as well when he did one of the DJ name drops AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SONG! Yes, I can understand doing it every now and then in your set. BUT MY GOD, I DON’T NEED TO HEAR IT EVERY 5 MINUTES!.
Unfortunately, most of my friends only wanted to listen to this stuff, and I rarely went to the other club, which played more house/trance/dubstep, and the DJ used more controllerism techniques. University students are stingy and couldn’t be bothered paying the $5 cover fee.

I feel like I am to the point now that I can create a mix and post it on the internet and people will enjoy it.
I also want to consider using youtube as a means to expose myself.
I want to know how you go about making a mix and recording the video and having good sound quality with the video in sync with the audio.
Thanks!
Many digital cameras have an input for a microphone to use rather than the camera’s standard. You can route your output from your sound card/controller into this and it should record.
MemberYes you should. You just have to be able to mix everything from classic jazz, all the way through to hard dubstep. But I like the fact that I can fit all my gear into my messenger back and backpack.
MemberSoft jazz is always pretty good. Has nice loopable patterns all throughout the song, which solos/main rythms are laid on top of. Surprisingly easy to mix. Miles Davis is always a favourite of mine.

However, the people who I assumed where metalheads ended up asking for populuar DnB and Dubstep
Yeah, that was a surprise at my first few gigs as well.
MemberI’ve heard that they’re very good if you custom moulded ones that fit your ear. Unfortunately it can be very expensive to get a set.

If you have your SW and Music files in your PC then the PC streams the musicfile to the controller and in some cases it ads rumble and hum in different stages. I had an early controller from a finisc company and my stationary PC worked fine with it but my laptop pc did not. It added static and I tried with an other laptop it also added static so I had to return the unit.
It had 2x built in soundcards and the static came from the VIA interface in the PCs.So interly bullshit it is NOT!!!!

I doubt this. Purely because when you plug a controller in (assuming it’s USB), the sound that the computer sends it is digital. As in 1’s and 0’s. The controller then converts this into an analogue signal. Noise/humming is not an issue with digital signals.
MemberShame, I went from mac to PC for djing. 14.1″ is my perfect size as well.
MemberI run a seperate partition that I boot from for gigs. Has all my dj software installed (Serato, Traktor and VDJ) plus the extras like mixed in key. Works fine for me.
MemberSennheiser HD201/205
Shure SRH550 DJ
AKG K519DJ
Shure SRH440/SRH240
Audiotechnica M50 (if you can get them below ~130ish)The shures are my favourite of the bunch. But I haven’t had the chance to listen to the K519DJ’s yet, so I can’t comment apart from the fact that I’ve heard good things about them.

@Cool Cats, Does the NS6 have a function to let the the track continue on under the loop you set? like the ‘loop roll’ on Twitchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8zPhyuYd-w
It does apparently.

The built in soundcard in controllers differs a lot and how computers handles different soundfiles and how fast
differes. (another reason to keep to Mac, it just sounds better than PC in my ears it does anyway)Now this is just plain bullshit. You do realise that the PC doesn’t handle the sound output when you DJ. Controllers and sounds cards have their own DAC. It is this that handles the sound output, not the computer. Hence, the sound is entirely dependant on the bitrate of the song and the controller you’re using.
