I want my sets to reflect me not a carbon copy of someone else. Also I found I literally didn’t have the time to go through all that I copied with the new stuff flooding me over.

My Nephew gave me copies of 12 of his Favourite Tracks on MP3; and as a Present (and an Experiment for Myself); I thought I would Mix them (whether I liked them or not); and the Mix came out Really Well; however; like you; that is as far as I wanted to take it; as these Tracks were ‘His Favourites Not Mine’; and as I didn’t want to Feel ‘Influenced’ by another; I have now Deleted them (although I have since Bought one of the Tracks as it was Brilliant :));
But when I began DJ’ing; the Law was that to even ‘Play’ a Track Live in a DJ Set (in front of an Audience) we had to Pay the Original Artist 4p (English Money); how that could ever be Enforced I don’t know; and I Never paid Anyone Anything; but with my Step-Father being a Member of the PRS (Performing Rights Society) he told me what the Law said; and that I should ‘Comply’ with its Regulations;
I Understand that there are New Laws now; and that ‘Someone’ should ‘Own a Licence’;

Hello Karl 🙂
I have just looked this up and the information I gained was this …
“6.1 Will not work with the microphone, only VirtualDJ Pro Full 7.0.2 will work.”
So I Presume it would depend on which Version you have on VDJ; what Version do you have ?

Here’s the article: Why I Just Threw Away Nearly All Of My Music

Emma, I was a resident in the same club for 10 years, and I have to say my set changed gradually, never in one go – people came to hear me play the tunes I played, because they knew how I played them and they knew what they’d get. I think it’s OK to play the same tunes and change only gradually. Only my opinion though 🙂

Hello Phil :);
You have an Amazing History Phil; and to be able to Flourish into Publishing and Still DJ Every Weekend is a Brilliant Track Record; I only asked the Question because I still don’t Understand the Sites like HypeMachine and what they do (although I am Subscribed); I am a Fanatic – in the sense that I have 29 Different Remixes of ‘Martin Solveig – Hello’; but of course if I was going out live and ‘Wanted’ to play that Track; I would only take One Version with me;
I Feel I have to Learn New Ways of Organising my Sets as I just have So Much Choice; but as my Vinyl is in the Attic; and my CD’s on the Shelves; a Seperate Place for Tracks I Want To Keep; but maybe not Play; would be Cool;
All my New Tracks go into Two Folders; and I Try to build Sets from them; but I have to Heavily Dip into the 3,000 other Tracks I have as the New Tracks just aren’t Enough in Quantity; and of course I like to be ‘Different’; and so am Not Ashamed to say that I have Classical Music at my Disposal (and I would rather have it at my Disposal than not); and also Instrumentals like ‘The Sugar Plum Fairy’; it may sound Mental; but Mix that Track into an Underworld Track and it is simply Amazing; and as I said ‘Different’; and also ‘Unexpected’ 🙂

Hello Lloyd :);
Yes; I had to take 7 Years out myself from DJ’ing; but I am back now; and like you; moving from Pioneer Decks (which I still have); and Physical Equipment; into the Digital Era was a bit Daunting at first; but has become an Absolute Wonder of Learning and Experimentation :);
I am only a Member of this Site like yourself; but we All have Knowledge to Share; although of course we also have Our Writers who have Access to All New Equipment; and their Knowledge is Unbelievable
However; you can see the Adverts down the Side of the page; which shows that the Physical Equipment Age is Not Over Yet :);
But; do you have any Inclination to move more into the Digital World of DJ’ing ?
And if so; have you looked at any Software in particular; and is that the Knowledge you are looking for ?

A Very Warm Welcome to You Keenon 🙂

WOW !!
That is just Totally Unbelievable in this World in the 21st Century :(;
I Bet she was English and got some Preferential Treatment as that has happened before; (I am English);
