    Well said Dj Hane K, a lot of djs stare at their computer screens now a days. It no different then have cdjs with the bpm counter, time elapsed, time left, song’s info and key on it. If Stazbumpa thinks starting at a laptop all night isn’t cool then maybe he/she should consider not using traktor or a laptop at all, problem solved.

    You won’t be able to get it until October when Scratch live becomes Serato dj. Meaning there won’t be no more updates for Scratch live and Scratch live will now become Serato dj. Though scratch live may have a shortcut for syncing.

    It depends on your experience as a dj.

    If you like mashing buttons then get the Mixtrack Quad, down side to mixtrack Quad is it doesn’t have serato intro or dj yet.
    I own the Numak N4 and you must be a quick/advance dj to use it, you also(depending on your mappings) have to hold a shift button and press the cue button at the same time to jump to a cue. I don’t think you have to do this with Mixtrack Quad. Numark N4 also comes with Serato intro(you can upgrade to serato dj) and virtual dj LE (you can upgrade to virtual dj Pro)
    Here is a video of me on it.

    If you’re using laptop and software to dj with turntables then there is always a sync button.

    I use that button all the time, not to match songs or anything but just the BPMs. I’m sorry but I get so lazy on my pitch fader… I’m really lazy with the pitch fader I can have a song that is 92 bpm and have the other on 93 or 91 and tell myself that’s close enough they won’t notice lol.

    I personally wouldn’t say stop looking at the screen but practices without looking at. Using your ears is the best thing you can do. You’ll get better and better with practice, what some tutorials here on this site or youtube.

    Why rent when you can probably just buy it, American dj owns a lot of cheap quality lights setups, chances are too another client may aks you to bring lights. I myself don’t own light but I know for a fact is someone asked me to bring some to a gig American dj would be the place I would shop.

    This is one thing I wouldn’t do, not matter how hot a female is I won’t ever do something such as play a request just because she’s hot. Reason being is that females like that have it too easy in life, not that it’s a bad thing. But you need to understand this is the Era of the Female Dj, the request of/for female djs is on a rise which can be a good/bad thing. It’s good thing for females who thought they couldn’t do it because they though that it was more of a guy thing, it’s a bad thing for us guy “because some females are just hot and don’t know how to dj”.
    This can become even more troubling if “the female dj is hot and knows how to dj”. Would you hire yourself as a dj if had to choose between you djing that night or “The Hot Female dj” who probably can’t/can dj?

    All the time!!!!!:confused: Especially if your booth is accessible, it it’s on a stage or in a room were they can’t access you then of course they aren’t going to request. They may get a large piece of paper/note pad or 3″x 3″ board and write there request with a black marker, thus creating a sign with their request on it to catch your attention if you not accessible. I personally don’t like taking request because it’s usually a song I will play or a song I already played.

    We always get those people who say “it’s my birthday so play…..” “Can you play I know the birthday girl/boy……” “I want to take this girl home with me can you play…….” “I’m trying to get close to so and so can you play….” “do you have so and so cause no one is dancing……” (They ask this question when everyone is dancing.)

    Well it depends, on the software.
    In my serato dj I organize my folders by individual artists and genres and build crates and playlists according to the type of party I play.
    In my virtual dj I organize my folders by genre and build playlists.

    You wouldn’t happen to own an IDJ3 would you?
