Is it worth it?

Also make sure you check out Ms Pinky DVS system. I have heard that it can be integrated with Abelton to make a Bridge type system too. (Max for Live?)

Sounds like me too 😉

I can not dance what so ever, but I love my music, and by DJing, I can get into the music, and nobody looks twice if they see a DJ head-bangin to their crazy mix in the booth. In fact they get right into it and have an awesome time too! 😀

Djing is my dancing….

Yep, I’m almost OCD with this too. I have actually trained as a sound engineer, and while I only use this training occasionally, it makes a huge difference to the vibe in the venue when I give a damn. Having the wrong sound will usually drive the crowd away, not to you and the dance floor.

As a general rule I like to get there before the place opens and have a listen to the house system playing a couple of songs I use for soundcheck, so I can tell if there’s any major problems with the sound. This way I can fix thing with the house lights up, instead of trying to fiddle with cabs in the dark. Also I’ll get to know where the house mixer is, to I can adjust it when the venue is full of people, as the bass tends to be drowned out.

But yes, I do my best to make sure that the venue sounds good before I play, as one night of bad sound could ruin your reputation…..

Any time mate! 😀

I guess maybe you could see a DJ as a curator of music?

Yeah, I used to work as a sound tech, so this stuff is fairly simple for me. It’s when you have 24-odd mics running to your two mixers, over 80m of loom, with 4 stageboxes, 10 aux busses, effects, compression, limiters, crossovers, and you still have to patch in the foldbacks plus a squark is when it gets complicated!
