Very interesting topic. I will have my first, small gig in one month so I’m very curious about hints how to get people on the dancefloor.

Do you have an example for cheaper alternatives? I’m looking for sth like an Audio 8 or Audio 10, wich has at least 3 (stereo) outputs and at least 2 inputs. A mic preamp would also help.

EDM (not EMD 😉 ) stands for Electronic Dance Music.

I mostly agree with what you already said, but I want to add one point for consideration.

Where do you wanna go?

1. You do this whole stuff for fun, for refinancing your equipment, for being part of something. Then being fair and polite would be the right way for you.

2. You do this for a living and you want to be the next Armin van Buuren ;). In this case it’s getting tricky. On the one hande you can’t ignore your collegues but on the other hand you won’t be successfull just being nice. At least it’s highly unlikely. You have to advertise yourself strongly and this could include going all in. In this case it’s just business and business is never fair. Maybe to a certain point but when (lots of) money comes into play you should be prepared putting Mr. Nice Guy aside.
