    Awesome. Everyone so far has been VERY helpful.

    Derek; I want sound and audio because like that show he played they had him bring his own stuff. If I don’t have my own, I’m missing out on that show.

    DJ Hane K; I have a 2TB external that warehouses my colossal library, I actually enjoy thinking of songs to play. If I get stumped on rare occasion I have a cheat sheet crate to pull from. or could goto a top40 crate, genre crate ect. Also love having it all with me incase I’m playing a track and get a song come to me that I wanna play, I know I have it.

    Any more advice anyone? Thanks so much!

    grab 20 tracks that are all 320kbps, Start them at random places and mix in a new song every 20-30 seconds. If you don’t hear your volume problem than its most likely ur problem. I guess if all else fails be ready to adjust as you drop just in case. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

    I’ll say again. never too much.

    Time consuming? Of course but music is what we do. It’s to be expected you put alot of time in effort in your job.

    Hard to find a track? Not at all, its all about how you organize your library/folders/crates/genre.

    I love the fact that I have any song someone asks for, I type it in and its right there ready to go. If I’m at a club and a random song pops in my head and im like “oooh!!” I have it, Selecting a song is no problem. I can play any song that come to mind and on the rare chance I get selection block…. well, thats what your “cheat sheet” crate is for.

    Are your tracks all 320 bitrate? that will happen if you have a good quality track (320) then mixing in a crappy sound quality track. (196-)

    You can never have too much music. I have 147k right now and I spent about 4 hours a week checking the top 40 list for new singles I don’t have and when a new single is hott, I buy the whole album from that artist. I pride myself on the fact of having anything someone wants to hear. Playing a club, house party, wedding or any venue if you ask me for the most random song you can think of, I prolly have it.
