    Finally did my 1st gig last night!! It was awesome!!! I danced the entire 4 hrs while paying close attention transitions/blending of the tracks.

    At one point in time, some of the women said looks like the DJ is having way more fun up there than us…LOL….

    With just a few hiccups from last night:

    • VDJ froze on me in the middle of my set. So I calmly got on the mic and said please give me 10 secs as my software needed to be restarted. And 10 secs later I had the crowd jumping again!! I was calm and kept my cool…kept smiling the entire time 🙂
    • I also learned that I need a little light for my controller.
    • I also learned to answer nicely to the patrons when they ask me to play something for them that I did not have. “Sorry, I do not have it right now. Next time, I will try to make sure I have it” 🙂

    Based from last night’s experience, I realized that I can not make everyone happy. Regardless of what kind of music I am playing. I stuck to my set and I got lots of feedback from friends and other patrons. Most of them really enjoyed the evening! None of them knew it was my 1st time ever playing and when they were informed they said they would not have known…that was a nice complement. Sweet!!

    So in a nutshell, I have this gig once a month for the ladies of San Diego to let their hair down and dance!!
    I had such a great time!! I was jumping up and down on the dj booth…I could not contain myself!! I really LOVE this!!! WOOOHOOO!! 😀

    Update: Looks like I am going to be DJ’ng on Oct 27th instead. The ladies found a much better bar w/ a nice big dance floor and an awesome sound system!! I already did a sound check last Saturday!!

    So sweet to hear my mix in such a big place!!! I was so nervous even though there were only a few people in the bar since it was lunch time. What struck me, was the handful of patrons that was there were all bopping their heads and tapping their feet while eating….that really put a smile on my face 🙂 YAY!!

    Based on last Saturdays sound check, I learned that I need to check my MIDI controller’s volume so that I will hear it on the speakers!! OMG I was so nervous!! Anyway, a great mistake even for just messing around for about an hour!!! So stoked that the manager allowed me to play around!!

    I will let you all know in a couple weeks how the dance goes!! All I know for sure, it is going to be a BLAST!!! WOOHOOO!! 😀

    Thank you all!!

    Yes, I agree w/ you Bunyip. 🙂

    That is my intention Dave, to get to the bar a little early prior to the dance. I may even actually go this weekend to take a quick peak on their DJ booth setups. 🙂

    Thank you all!! I am going to go a little early at the bar before the dance starts so I can set up. I am going to keep it simple w/ the transitions and allowing the music to play, and most of all I am going to have fun!!! 🙂

    I think for a DJ name I am just going w/ Rocky. My name is Raquel and my nickname is Rocky 🙂

    Any inputs??

    Mahalo!!!

    Yep, I still can not upload. I tried what Terry suggested and like you different sizes and extensions. No go 🙁

    I believe I just fixed the problem.

    On VJD setup choose PERFORMANCE tab.
    Sound card tab options: AUTO(Default) >> Changed it to 512 to match the ASIO Buffer size 512.

    Looks like it is working it sounds smooth even before.

    YAY!! 🙂
