MemberHello Deathray;
I am Very Sorry to hear that you have Given Your Time and Performed at 3 Venues Without Being Paid 🙁
This Must make you Feel Disillusioned to Some Degree with the Whole Business 🙁
I have a Template Of A Free Contract that you could Consider Using in Future at the Following Link:
Does Anyone Here Use A Contract
It seems to me to be Quite an Official Contract that Legally Would Have To Be Upheld;I Do Understand that Some Agencies are Renowned for keeping people Waiting For Payment for Months; and in this Case I would make a Weekly Phone Call (as you May Wish to be Booked by them in the Future); Enquiring about your Payment
MemberIt is a Massive Shame that this Post was Tucked Away in an Area Not Visited By All on a Regular Basis;
And So have Missed Out on this Fabulous Opportunity 🙁

Yes 🙂
Western Digital have a 2 Year Guarantee; and (Somehow) Keeps Track of Any Changes you make to the Files on the External Drive (the Reason I bought it); so; if your PC/Laptop Crashes or Fails Completely; the External Drive will have All your Files Safely Tucked Away with Complete Access to them with Simple Plug And Play (this has happened to me);Membermr stifffy, post: 6162 wrote: this should be the other way around in my opinion (not fighting this is just how I do it) 🙂 I have a 500 gb external hd made by western digital, I have my whole music collection, vst collection, sample collection and backup installation files along with serials that I keep locked in my safe, on my laptop I have maybe 250 songs that gets changed and replaced constantly, this way I KNOW my songs inside out and for the random nights that I dont enjoy playing but may do the odd time I add a new file and copy whatever songs on my harddrive over (pop stuff, rock music etc…)
I have a Western Digital External Drive too 🙂
Just 300GB; but Literally Everything I Own is on it 🙂MemberWow Michael; that is an Absolutely Honour to be Thought Of By You in that Manner;
And Certainly I would like to Consider You As More Than An Online Friend;
My Maturity and Care For Others is Part Of My Personality Of Course; but Grew Mainy Through Adversity with my Incarceration for 3 Years in a Mental Institution following a Very Unfortunate Incident;
Discovering this Forum; and the Wonderful People who come here; has not only Blessed Me With A Place Of Safety and Acceptance; but has Rekindled my Passion for DJ’ing; which to be Truthful I was going to Give Up just a couple of months ago; and Of Course This Then Would Have Left Me With ‘Nothing’; and spending 23 and a half Hours a Day in my Bedroom (as I have done for some years now); it wouldn’t have taken long for the Inevitable to Happen;MemberDJ Max D., post: 6157 wrote: No. Don’t. Just don’t.
To be perfectly honest I often came here just to read your posts because they are so inspiring and constructive and positive.. After reading what had happened to you during your life, I have even more respect for you and believe me, the world would be at great loss without you. Keep your chin up and don’t think bad thoughts, please 🙂 We still need you to inspire us.Thank You Max for your Wonderful and Caring Words; that is Such A Kind Thing To Say;
My Brain tells me I am ‘Nothing’; and that I ‘Deserve To Suffer’
Yet; All I Try To Do Is To Help Others; and I see that as ‘My Purpose’;
So for you to use Words such as ‘Inspiring; Constructive; and Positive’ in Relation To Me; Means A Great Deal;August 22, 2011 at 9:59 am in reply to: Where i can buy Novation Twitch in Milano-Italy ?????? #1001465MemberThe Novation Twitch is available Online from this store that Ships Worldwide;

Reliving the Names of ‘Messiah’ (of which I have All of their Tracks); ‘Digital Orgasm’ and ‘Lords Of Acid’ of which Both were actually ‘Pragha Khan’; ‘Warp Records’ (of which I have almost the Whole Catalogue); was a Blast 🙂
I call ‘Rave’ (and Remember the Later Raves – because of my Age – but Raves still held Illegally in Fields); ‘Breakbeat’; it may be the Incorrect Description/Category; but it still ‘Lives Today’ and I Love it;
And ‘Underworld’; ‘The Dust/Chemical Brothers’; and ‘The Prodigy’ are Just Legends 😎Memberdino, post: 6136 wrote: Emma please do not consider suicide. Please free free to PM me, if you need support.

August 22, 2011 at 1:55 am in reply to: Does the Laptop really make a difference on sound quality? #6137MemberMC6, post: 6131 wrote: It was my friend’s laptop which we were using and as I don’t have it right now I can’t give details on the model etc. Sorry guys. I could have a look at the soundcard settings when we’re back at it again.
The event went good by the way guys, the sound was okay once we got it into the bigger room. It wasn’t perfect, but hey, we’ve only started so we’ll learn as we go along.
We don’t have a soundcard at present, we’ve had to rely on reading the waveforms on the program which is not ideal, but its went pretty well considering. The music for the venue is all commercial, so not a lot of talented mixing needs to be done anyway lol
D-Jam, I’m not really up to date with the functions of a soundcard. Haven’t even had the chance to read over all the articles on it as I’ve been really busy recently, which is the reason i’m only getting back to this thread now. I’m guessing that it has one connection which is USB to plug into the laptop and the little box has a headphone jack to plug in the RCA cable like we would normally do? Sorry if that isn’t explained very well lol! Would it take over the sound and make it sound a lot better, yes?
Hello MC6 🙂
I believe we can pay around £1,000 for a Soundcard;
However; your Description at the End of your Post is Correct 🙂
In Order to ‘Monitor’ a ‘Seperate Output’ to Our Headphones; so that we can Set Up a Track (and the Crowd Can’t Hear What We Are Doing); we need 2 Outputs from Our Laptop (if we are Using Our Laptops Soundcard);
So; a USB Connection will give us 2 Plugs as you say;
One Output to the PA;
One Output to Our Headphones;
It obviously Depends how Much you have to Spend; but this is a Good Article to start from 🙂MemberMichael Fuchs, post: 6128 wrote: Thank you very much Emma, it feels great to be recognized for this to be quite honest. Also, although it’s often difficult, we even more often share great times together and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Your ‘Acceptance’ of your Sister Michael will Mean ‘More’ To Her than any Medication or Professional Help she ‘May’ Recieve; I Feel that you can Both Look Forward to an Incredible Brother/Sister Relationship;
You are Already Doing ‘More’ than I have Ever Recieved; and that is Accepting Your Sister; rather than Rejecting Her Because She Has A Difficult Condition (that She Never Asked For in the first place);Membermr stifffy, post: 6123 wrote:
my live setup and the studio 🙂
Love it my Friend :cool:;
And What an Incredible Difference your Big Sceen makes now up to your 2nd Laptop 🙂
I am pleased you still have room for your Xbox and TV (mine is also lying on it’s Side) 😎MemberFxn-L, post: 6094 wrote: I go to school in Buffalo, New York in the USA. I live in York County, Virginia…also in the USA. Both of which aren’t especially known for their appreciation of the musical arts. The crowds in Buffalo exist solely to consume Billboard Top 100, dubstep, and electro. York County doesn’t even know what EDM is.
This makes a sticky situation for an aspiring EDM digital DJ like myself. Does anyone else experience this where they live? EDM DJs in Europe, Canada and the UK should consider themselves lucky; you all are placed in what appears to be the heart of EDM consumers.
Just recently I was offered to open for my DJ friend at a private party. I was so excited! An opportunity to play EDM on a decommissioned US Navy Vessel with a good friend? Who’d say “no” to that? Then the sound tech gives me a call and rattles off a list of what they’re looking to be played including Insane Clown Posse, Jimmy Buffet, “I’m On A Boat” by Lonely Island, Top 40, and dubstep “that girls would like”. To top it off, he tells me if I’ve “got one or two tracks to play too, that might be okay.” I don’t even know how to feel about that.
Does anyone else have to deal with their location being a non-optimal zone for their chosen style of DJing? If so, how did you deal with it? Saying “Move to Europe” isn’t a great answer.
Hello my Friend :);
I Understand and Empathise with your Situation 🙁
However; we Must Attempt to Help You Feel Comfortable; and The Customer Satisfied;
When you received the Phone Call with the ‘List’ Of Tracks they Wish You To Play – You Must Get These Tracks
As in an Indirect/Direct Manner you have been ‘Ordered’ to;
This Has to be your First Step;
The Words ‘Play Some Dubstep’ can mean Anything; and is Extremely Ambiguous; as the Dubstep Genre is Vast;
If you played ‘Figure – The Monster EP’ (including ‘The Werewolf’; ‘Zombies’; ‘Aliens’; ‘Frankenstein’); you would Tear The Roof Off; ‘Excision’; ‘Liquid Stranger’ and ‘Danejah’ are also Classic Dubstep ‘Bands’
However; Your ‘Object’ as a DJ is to Introduce some EDM into your Set; and I would like to Help You With That 🙂First of all I would like to deal with Mixing Dubstep ‘Into’ House/EDM;
House/EDM is ‘Usually/Always’ Constructed using a 4 x 4 Kick Drum Pattern
Dubstep is Constructed in a Slightly Different Way; where the Bass Line follows a 4 x 4 Pattern;
In order to get an Idea ‘Where’ this 4 x 4 Pattern of the Bass Line is; we Follow The Snare;
The Snare Always Hits On The Second Beat; so;
1 = ? – 2 = Snare – 3 = ? – 4 = Snare
The Bass Line in Dubstep follows a 4 x 4 Pattern; such as this;
1 = Bass – 2 = Bass ‘And’ Snare – 3 = Bass – 4 = Bass ‘And’ Snare
Now; bearing in mind that in House/EDM we have a 4 x 4 Kick Drum Pattern;
We Mix Dubstep into House/EDM; This Way:1 = Bass – 2 = Bass ‘And’ Snare – 3 = Bass – 4 = Bass ‘And’ Snare
1 = Kick – 2 = Kick – 3 = Kick – 4 = KickWhen You Do This (if you Choose to) During Your Set; the Clientele will be Not Only ‘Amazed’; but also ‘Very Receptive’ to the Change In Style (though I would Suggest once you have Mixed From Dubstep into House/EDM; that you Mix ‘Back’ into Dubstep; and then back into House/EDM; until you ‘Feel’ The Floor has ‘Accepted’ and are Enjoying the 4 x 4 Kick Drum Pattern) 🙂
I Hope that this Post Helps You in Some Small Way 😎
