Maybe sometimes it is. I am literally just back from Australia after 2 years with very little notice due to visa issues and I decided two days ago I would go and do the season in Ibiza again and DJ. Having only really been Djing as a hobbie in Australia due to living the family life I only had my S4 in the house to play around with. So I got home and it took me a day or so to figure out why the timecodes etc were not working on Traktor Pro 2 and with my old MKI vinyls. Then I never had cd's to try the cds out on either and after a few days of troubleshooting I got some cdjs off a friend for a day or so using the old Traktor but it had deleted all my cue points and every piece of data to all my music so I was mixing fine but for the type of mixing I will be doing it was just way too time consuming setting up finding the next tune, setting up cue points etc etc all in a matter of a minute or so and sounding and looking stupid. So yea that never worked out no matter how hard I tried.
I am going for trials for DJ jobs... Its what they do here in Ibiza and its pretty normal so I dont want to be that guy with tunes running out etc because I am trying to set cue points in the middle of my set plus mic work is involved as well so I just threw the towel in on that idea and decided I would just upgrade. Walking around asking club owners/promoters can I bring my S4 in to do my trial is just.... well... a no no!!! No one has time for that and it looks so unprofessional!!
So yea it is pretty urgent, and no its not the end or start of my career, but if the trials start tomorrow and go for the rest of this week for all the DJ jobs in Ibiza for the season and I fuck up.... well then it is then end of my seasonal 'career' here and I will be jumping on the next plane home. So yea its pretty urgent so thanks for pointing that out.
