ParticipantIf you’re not going to do the job, then don’t bother…or the crowds should get an eyeful and think twice before shelling out big money for a “big name DJ”.
Amen!

Participantbut managed to throw down some old country chestnuts that sufficed (or at least kept the beer bottles from flying at me).
Why do I see images of you singing rawhide? 😀

ParticipantI use soundforge OR audacity to create my ‘drops’. easy peasy pumpkin neesy. I even get my family and friends involved. They love when I add effects.

Participantthe last DJ should have done a bit of research. the 2nd dj should never drink DJ again.the first dj should have played last. :). This is why clubs should have basic booths that allow DJ’s to use their own gear.

Participantphrasing, beatmatch and key, multiple decks for live on the fly mashups is what I’ve learnt so far, Practice is your best friend!

ParticipantI don’t hate it, but I’m not fully convinced yet we’re going to do away with hard drives, thumb drives, and put everything on the cloud.
Agreed. Cloud has some strengths, my biggest problem is who owns the data once it is in the cloud, too easy to lose control of it once it’s ‘out there’.

Participantif you look at my prof pic you will see a mixer/controller this is wired to my pc and lets me control my digital music like they were on turntables. as for loops phrase them right and you can isolate vocals on the fly. My best example is actually the first four minutes of my latest set, http://djmix.net/NewportDJ/ManicMixVol1/ where three songs are mashed all at once but only the bass line and drums from one are used. Is that what you are getting at? (eg:’sexy girl’ vocals are used but not the drum and basslines).
