MemberThanks
MemberBut as far as the piano goes, sure I guess I can do without learning. But it sure would bleeping help
MemberI think of it more like “able to play with a DAW”. I’m no where near anything else

link does not work..
MemberOh no Sir, remember as far as creating music, I’ve just begun to get my feet wet in developing technical skills! I was just curious . I wish I knew piano too, a lot more complex melodies could be accomplished if I did. I feel so limited.
MemberI have not earned a wonga, in any job I’ve done. From Djing to retail, to security..nope. no wongas
MemberI like to call myself Papa Smurf, it’s a fun title, far less competition too
MemberYeah Ferry Corsten , well known . So give me an idea of what your studio set up is like.Can ya play any instruments?
Member“DJ I Need a Name “
MemberI dig the minimalistic side of this track of yours. The other elements seem , to me, to go in a different direction and not meld so smoothly..for *my* taste. Of course I have no technical skills , so I’m just critiquing from the side of my personal tastes ;-). Check out this video of Dubtribe, I want you to get an idea of where my inspiration derives from. It’s only a very , very, small sample of their capabilities and talent..but least you’ll get a taste . The tracks are their own, they use the tracks ..and create on the fly ..live. Nothing quite like experiencing a live show from Dubtribe …:

MemberSure , I understand what you mean with your own sound. As it is that track you heard is heavily influenced a particular House music artist(Dubtribe Sound System), that I had the fortune to befriend, after years of being a follower. Having Dj’ed for near 21 years now, I have a good feel for the general direction I want proceed when it comes to creating. Not the sond per se, but the way in which I want to combine the two into one experience for the listener. When it comes to Djing side of me . I’m a bit odd in that I truly at am my best in front of a crowd. Nothing is more inspirational to my set than that interactive experience I get when so emotionally involved , with the crowd..or one single person out on the floor for that matter. So yes, a lot of technical skill is going to be needed on my part, to be able to do what I want do do.
Johnny, where can I find samples of what you’ve created?MemberJohnnystorm, post: 15317, member: 456 wrote: Not going to lie, I kinda dig this track man. I just feel that with a little bit of improvement it could become even better, I feel that some of the transitions are a little off. But keep up the hard work, and keep doing what you love.
Thanks, I appreciate that Johnny . A friend of mine, a long time house producer and DJ said that having the back ground of having been a DJ, is very beneficial in creating tracks. I have all the inspiration and ideas of where I want to take things… from all the years of being so deeply in love with music. etc,. It’s just gonna take a very long time to develop the technical skills to be able to do it :-p.
MemberIt is just a sample of how the track may be, obviously not complete..but the general feel..
MemberI don’t know much about today’s lighting set ups, but I do recall the hell of having to set up our lighting systems back in the day. We had trusses, strobes, etc,etc,etc,etc. Plus all the crates, decks, mixers. It was hell (but fun in it’s own way..because of the memories now.) in our war wagon (197? oldsmobile station wagon). Point is , having a residency would be a good route to go, esp for not having the money to get lighting gear. Of course getting a residency isn’t gonna happen over night, chase it if it’s where ya wanna play. Or if there are one offs, where everything is there and taken care of..maybe look for some. If you’re still a beginner , then don’t worry ..just get what gigs you can @ house parties /smaller events and such.

If I bring my NS6 to plug into their house setup is this going to be a big hassle? (more trouble than its worth?)
If for some reason they won’t let me bring the NS6 How exactly do cdjs work? Do I have to have all my music on CDS? (I have 147k)
Will CDJ’s work on my laptop with ITCH for NS6? or will I have to get regular Scratch Live? (last time I had both ITCH and Scratch Live, I got alot of missing file errors I had to fix)
Also a few more tips, I’ve been pretty shy as far as putting myself out there to network with other DJs because they are all vinyl, last week I went to an event and networked. The DJ had a huge trailer outside and informed me he brought everything. His setup, the lights, the audio. All that discouraged me and made me want to give up because I don’t have my own audio yet, I’ve sunk all my money into my controller and music.
Any advice or pointers on this?
Thanks in advance!I say just switch over to vinyl, 147k in vinyl should not take too long to gather :-D. Actually why not? Not 147 k, but maybe give vinyl a shot.? If you’re lucky enough to be around in an area that has DJ shops with vinyl, which it seems you are. Nothing like it…
But I guess the other option is getting gigs where you can use your own digital set up route, if it’s not possible at the clubs there. Or ask one of the resident club DJ’s, see what they think of the possibility of getting your own set up in there. Good luck dude
