Participanti feel this guy got a bum rap. master of the mix should have been master of turntableism.

Participanti carry a cheap mini laptop for this reason, also i have a mini ipad w djay as backup if all else fails. shit happens, trust me it will happen from time to time. just PREPARE for it.

Participantyou have family in radio? ask them if you can tag along as a roadie! for free or little pay! what youll learn in return in priceless.
my cousin took me along as super cheap labor when i was 13 but i had no idea i would fall in love w/ this crazy thing!
i was just there to carry crates and gear and make a quick $60 and fast fwd to 20+ yrs and im still in this game!

Participantthose are good speakers if your on a tight budget. imo its hard to beat the EV powered series , they rock and sound super clean. you can also look at the b52 matrix series, i dunno if they have em new any longer but they used to have a pr of 8’s w a 15″ sub and another set w 10’s and an 18.
that setup sounded pretty good for the price.

ParticipantLol i just slapped two old songs together. Hard to keep em from drifting while hding camera in one hand. Old songs drift no computer to keep the beat 100% accurate.

Participantit depends, sometimes fx and eq manipulation works wonders! BUT sometimes keeping it simple works. it really depends on how you make of it. think of it like this. you have plain ice cream and still taste great, add sprinkles, whipped cream, etc and guess what it still tastes great! is it “better” ? that depends on the ingredients.
you can muck up ice cream if you add “too much” music is a rollercoaster ride try to make the mix or remix fit in correctly, knowing your tunes is ESSENTIAL.

Participantmy favorite way of using loops is making an 8 bar loop sample and mixing off 2 decks like normal, the 8 bar loop sample played correctly during the mixes keeps the crowd on the dance floor. (i do this when i want to keep the floor packed)
