DJ GRE
MemberWell that and the new interest everyone has in DJing thanks to the big names… like guetta or deadmau5 and i can see how a company can think, “well a teenager probably can’t swing an $800 controller… but I bet they’d like to try it out – how do we get THAT money?”
September 28, 2011 at 4:30 pm in reply to: Are the Barriers to DJing too low? See this Video #1001768MemberWell… the biggest barrier to DJing used to be the gear – look at how much the gear they’ve got must cost. I mean people love young people that can do things at an adult level (japanese guitar playing prodigy, Mozart) and I can see the appeal of watching little kids DJing too. But like D-Jam says there isn’t any actual show of talent – definitely a lot of showmanship though.
Memberit also changed the master level monitor… now it has an orange before turning red and there’s a headroom (0, -3, -6 etc.) selection. if anyone finds anything more please let me know!

If that comes out right – So I was playing a gig and threw on modesteps feel good and a lady in a chicken suit walked in and started dancing! funny stuff.
MemberI honestly can’t believe that Diplo and A track aren’t on there somewhere – especially Diplo. I usually don’t put stock in these things though because of how splintered genres in music have become it’s hard to really create a top 100 in anything anymore.
MemberI would say just for the sake of less complications go with the audio 6 but that’s just me. Looking at your setup that may be all you need – but if you are looking at adding things in the future the 10 is a great buy if the price doesn’t put you out. Audio wise I would say the audio 6 and audio 10 sound better that’s just from when I’ve heard DJs use them.
Memberthanks John – very helpful – I can see how this can be a great tool.
MemberNo problem – I find Ean Goldens tutorials to be really helpful actually. And Phils course above is a great bundle of knowledge!
MemberI’m rather lazy right now ( just got done working out) but DJ tech tools has a couple great vids on how to beat juggle using cue points musically during a set. One was not too long ago so a quick search should pop it up. Congrats on the S4! would love to get one if I could.
MemberIt depends on how your itunes is set up I believe… I’m not a huge i tunes fan, but here’s what I think…. By your description it is taking up double space – there’s a setting in itunes that lets you choose to create duplicates or not – I always turn this off as it seems like a useless function to me.
Other than that – if you are editing tracks in itunes I would say use the itunes songs because it would have your data saved on those copies and not the originals… at least i think….
Memberyeah I would say audacity – Its what I use for quick edits or for extracting a sample out of a track – I mean you can’t beat free right? Or like benny says just time it right with the fade out or possibly set a cue point to the end of the track.
MemberTony Youll, post: 7273 wrote: I’ve been thinking about this quit alot.
Alot of the songs in throw into an average set of mine are very heavy dubstep tracks (low bass, massive kick)
I’m just wondering if this is something the general public like to hear in clubs and whatnot (obviously not guna drop this stuff in an RnB vibe)
It really depends on the crowd you’ve got… and what area you’re in. If you’ve been to the club you’re thinking of and it isn’t what they normally play then I’d say you’d have to test and see how they react.
I have a ton of really filthy, dirty dubstep stuff that I only pull out when I recognize that the crowd is a dub kinda crowd and even then it goes a little too hard… but I’ve played a couple shows where this is all that me and the other DJs have played. So it really depends on the crowd man… you gotta be in touch with who you’re playing for.
MemberGod I feel like this is my answer to everything but here it goes: play it by ear – or make a long enough mix (you should have a good idea of how long it would take ;))
MemberYeah – I can understand that maybe he’s not a master mixer but with him and deadmau5 I feel like there’s a lot of attention being put on DJs now and I’m glad. but I respect that he can throw one hell of a party and knows that going from C to G can bring a crowd up like no other!
MemberIt’s true – DJs will frown upon your equipment no use saying they won’t… but if you can pull your weight the crowd won’t care – one thing that I’ve always found though is always be respectful to all the other DJs. Being nice and polite is the greatest marketing tool that most DJs ignore.
