This is really a stepping stone project for a full in depth database that would pull from Mixed in Key and Serato (and if it looks viable to sell Traktor and/or Virtual DJ) which is graphical and will have points in a web that would expand and contract with the connections being the curated mixes.
Anybody know anything I am talking about that would be willing to help me?

I’m pretty sure virtual dj has this function already. Windows Media Player artificially downloads ID3 Tags for music files though it doesn’t always get it right and I think ITunes does as well.

Sometimes it’s not just what you know but who you know. You’re on the right track by asking people close to you, that is how I got my first gig. I started out djing for free at lounges and gave out my business cards during the parties I did. Now I’m not saying go out and do it for free or undercut other djs. I’m saying you have to show people and clients why they should choose you, you need to sell yourself(ex: Why should I pick you instead of Him/Her? I’ll do it for free… I’ll dj for you to hear how good I am at no charge… I have censored and G rated music…. I play several genres….I have recommendations from so and so……. I have a following…. etc)

Now places you should try out are:

• Carnivals
• Flea Markets
• Block Parties
• Friends Birthday Parties, even pool parties, BBQs
• Outings
• Music stores or malls

Things you need are Business cards and if you can’t afford them make 7- 10 mins Demo CDs and put your contact information on the cd or put it in a nice CD envelope(You can get these at the discount store or 99 cent store in the U.S. for 99 cents… Or get some cd cases).

So then what do you use? If you have windows media player you just drag the picture onto the album art in your library

Hey can you make or post a video of what the problem is and what you did to make the sound better?
I might be able to help, and do you still have that plastic ring?

1. Try search on youtube how to fix speakers, they have plenty of videos on how to fix this problem.
2. Go to a junk yard/thrift shop and by some cheap speakers to replace the spare magnet and cone.
3. Or you can wait for one of the members who had the same problem to help resolve as I would like to know what they will say so I can learn from it if I have to fix a speaker.
4. Sometimes you just have to replace the whole unit especially if money is a factor.

Young Djs like me don’t under how lucky we are for todays technology. With out the old their wouldn’t be a new.
My first mixer, I got lucky though.

Usually the one who goes first sets the tone of the performance, hopefully the dj before you isn’t a idiot and plays all the hot tracks and leaves not just you but the guest dj to play the same tracks again or nothing to play. If anything I hope the dj just plays a good set nothing too old and nothing too new, that way you can play a better set and then the guy after you a better set. Then hopefully the guest dj plays a great set.
