    I would suggest grabbing pen & paper,walk your crowd and take requests to get a feel for what people want to hear. Simple thing to do but it pays off in a few ways.

    #1 The crowd sees your interested in what they like.
    #2 Might make some more comfortable coming up to the booth to make requests(when you don’t have the time to walk the crowd) .
    #3 You now have a playlist that you didn’t have to program.
    #4 You have a ready made “shopping list” for requests you don’t own

    Mixed crowds can be rough but remember no matter how hard you try you will NEVER please everyone however with this little plan in effect you can try your best to please most of them.

    – Dj Vintage: LOL … actually I think PCDJ was around way before that time and Virtual DJ is also an old hand at the game. Somebody should make a Wiki on the subject :-).
    I went(pretty much)full digital in mid-late 1998 , a “tower” PC with 2 different brands of soundcard. Each card was assigned to it’s own instance of Winamp with a pitch control DSP plugins. Each card was routed to it’s own channel on my Vestax 2-channel mixer. The first dedicated mp3 dj software i used was pcdjRED in/around 1999 and i used it for most of my gigs till 2003. The company is still around, they still sell/support pcdjRED and pcdjBlue. They have a newer software, pcdjDEX and PCDJ KARAOKI. It was for it’s time a great piece of software, many fond memories.

    Thanks for the welcome Terry. When I first moved to Portland in 1993 the music scene was dead as far as Electronica goes, it was a completely MTV driven market. It took a few years but the internet opened up Portland, in fact my wife and I went to see BT a few months ago in a really small venue then in November we saw Gabriel & Dresden at the same venue , go back to like the year 2000, yes 2000 and i doubt there were 100 people in this city who knew who BT was (saw him live in Seattle around 1997).
    Portland has the BEST variety of restaurants on the entire west coast along with the best food, it’s a great place to live. Not many “GREAT” music venues here ,but lots of “Good” ones

    I think it was sometime in 2005 I got the Hercules Dj Control MK2

    Ride home 10/10

    Opening the box at home 10/10

    Overall feel for it is 7/10 because it had, even back then, one of the worst placements for a crossfader.  Unless your hands are tiny you will hit either jog wheel every time you transition. the fix for it was easy, disable the jog wheels, center lock the fader and volume crossfade. Alot of trouble i know but it gets a 7/10 because it’s 2013, I still have it and it still works!
