So I don't really know what the point of this post is other than I just got back and am not to happy. Tonight was my first night at this particular bar/club and I was doing the closing set, kind of just did it for fun. The promoter had a family emergency and wasn't there when I got there so I just set up and went on after the other DJ who was meh. The problem was I effed up and forgot my little lights and was really struggling to see the mixer. That and the fact that these girls wouldn't stop trying to talk to me while I was mixing lead to a few mistakes in my set and its really driving me crazy right now. Nothing to awful (stuff like the incoming song fader being only partially up, and transferring the bass badly) but its really killing me now. Simply put I just could't see well with no light. The guys before me were using rane 57s with like 6 knobs and 2 faders and were fine in no light, but it effed me up on a 4 channel mixer with shit everywhere. Regardless, I did fill the dance floor and played good tracks and had some good mixing but man, those mistakes really really sucked. uhgggggg. This is really the first time this has ever happened to me, I always have those lights (not this time...). Also.. the monitor speakers sucked, useless.
