is putting both album names in the album section an option?

ive been recently playing with the new k2. its a bit easier to use than a single x1 but if you use 2 x1s or 2 k2s, you can easily have all you need without having to switch layers or use shift functions.

as you said, you gotta make sure you beat grid all your songs. since im not totally comfortable with the set up, its harder to do some spontaneous experimental mixing which usually require a jogwheel. im thinking of adding a denon sc controller to my setup in the future to help with this. although still hoping a smaller controller with a jogwheel comes out soon

sigh me too…all my rules about requests go out the window when theres money involved..or a hot girl

rcf art 310a or 312a would be the cheapest i’d look into and they compete well above their value

youre better off renting. you can get a 10″ powered speaker, stand, and cables for $50. Since you’re doing it with your friend you can ask him to help you with the cost. you can try using some loud computer speakers but everytime i do that, i end up blowing a $150-200 system.

if this is a one time thing, then go rent. if its going to be more frequent, you should look into investing into a powered PA speaker.

basically midi controllers is a way to connect “buttons” to a computer and assign those buttons to do specific tasks. the controllers are laid out in a way that is convenient for djing but essentially you could take anything that is MIDI, such as a keyboard and assign them to functions in a djing program and dj with that.

i think for the most part, remixes and mashups are done in the studio and then played live. you can’t do too much (or at least i can’t) live besides simple effects and basic mash ups.

as for program choices, DJs generally use 1 dj software such as serato or traktor, not both. there is a growing amount of Djs that are using ableton to supplement their DJing, but ableton in itself is not a DJing software. It is more for producing.

hope that helps a bit…

i tend to make small mistakes here and there in the bedroom and you would think that these mistakes would be amplified by a louder sound system but ive found that the opposite seems to be true. the eq is far more forgiving and speakers are far less sensitive to the small adjustments you make. once you notice what you can get away with, it lets you play around with your songs a bit more.

It was kind of like when I bought my first manual car. I was so excited to finally get it but after an hour or so trying to learn how to use it, I didn’t touch it for a week out of frustration.
