ParticipantYeah, 20-30 minute sets are beat, I get comfortable after the 15 minute mark, and the 30 minute mark is usually when I’m ready to start busting out cool shit.
ParticipantJust out of curiousity, what geographic region would you be looking to start up said project in?
Participant(<..>) (<..>) am I missing something here?

There’s a busking section in this article. Totally was doing it since Dec, didn’t rip them off =D

Yeah, they’re also cop magnets though. Not worried about the annoying factor
ParticipantThere was a bar/club near Baltimore I used to go to a bit called the Black Hole…. which had IDM nights, Rave nights/ hip-hop nights, etc. The rave nights were unfortunately taken over by kandi kids……..was a shame too.
ParticipantBut of course =)
ParticipantI mean there are a few more bells and whistles, but the SX is a beast of a controller in its own regard, and the ns7 II isn’t really a huge upgrade outside of the motorized platters (if that’s your thing)

This was the whole intention behind the show I’m throwing in DC. The BPM is going to be opening in the upper 120s, lower 130s….. and let’s just say I think the set I’m planning personally ends at 174-180
ParticipantI will tell you, if you don’t scratch don’t feel bad, it’s really only an aesthetic thing at that point.
ParticipantYeah, I’ll be taking a 2nd job very soon to earn a quick 1500, damn my love of motorized platforms.
ParticipantI’ve been having wet dreams about a piece of hardware with these specs since I started digital……. even though I can’t afford it, I’ll make the purchase launch day (both =D and =( )
ParticipantAlright, so the Flyer is actually in the works as we speak (Roommate’s actually turning it into a hand-made stencil piece as opposed to a generic photoshop). I told him to leave room for the potential name of 1 more, which if I do not receive a confirmation by the end of the week the flyer’s going out with 3 names on it.
Two fridays from now I will be able to pick up lighting, and I’ll try to get the flyer in a printable stage no later than wednesday, and will be distributing starting friday.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you Daryl, I’ve been running into hurdles left and right with cancellations, wet-behind-the-ears acts who think they’re the next Tiesto and everyone should be opening for their 2 hour set (not to mention they should be making 100s……..because they can bring out all 10 of their twitter followers I’m sure) and just unfortunate circumstances regarding other DJs and work schedules (no hate your way Demonick, there should be a show in March and 2 in April and hopefully you’ll be able to make one of those).
Without your help Daryl, I don’t know if I could have swung this alone.

ParticipantI’m calling around 1500
ParticipantUsually I’ll just scratch along to tracks when there are no vocals. I find it easier to scratch to tracks 128-140, as opposed to slower tracks. I’ll have my track playing on deck B, and will be scratching on C/A (I’m left handed and find it easier to use my left hand on the jog/right hand on the fader). I’ll have a scratch track loaded on A, and the song I plan on transitioning into onto C.
As far as making scratch tracks goes, just start collecting a bunch of one shots/vocals you think would sound cool, and place them back to back in an mp3 (I use audacity). For instance, I have a sample of Kanye West saying “Everybody knows I’m a motherfuckin’ monster” set as one of my cues. One way I might open up one of my sets is after I am introduced, I’ll play around with this cue and have it sound like “Everybody knows I’m a motherfuckin’ monster-monster-monster mon-mon-mon-mon-mon (insert little scratch diddy here, right after scratch diddy is over I launch my first track).
I will tell you, f1s are amazing for scratch bank samples (disregard this Connibis, for I assume you use Serato with a ns6). I use the 4trak, which is the sister controller of the ns6, and I find it sounds pretty decent.
