Watch the drinks over the gear. Don't let people hold there beers/cocktails over the gear as they drunkenly try to talk to you.
If someone makes a request say:
ROUND 1: "Yes. I think I have that."
ROUND 2: "It's coming up."
ROUND 3: "You didn't hear it?"
Don't tell people "No" unless you have a bouncer/security guard/MMA friend withing 10 feet.

Great way to ignore requests! ^_^
Also, concerning my set-up. I already have another Graduation Party in July, and i was able to borrow unpowered JBL speakers... But no mixer.
What would I need to run a successful set-up... (Specific gear)
I have a 4Trak, do I need another mixer? And what type of XLR cables? I have no clue
Have you ever tried to mix on a surround sound system?Quote:

I've never been able to confirm this, but I would consider this before stepping into this situation and realizing you can't beatmatch because of a delay.
However all this was in the days of manual beatmatching, so I guess with Traktor's "sync" it doesn't matter.
How much Latency can it produce? If Its not nearly instant, I just won't do sudden drops...
Enough to make it impossible to manually beatmatch.Quote:

"Latency in the sound waves"... wut?
Yeah.Quote:

Yes, but only if it's used sensibly/in accordance with the laws of physics :p!Quote:
