My first cue juggling performance

[sarasin]

Timing is key...as well as making sure you don;t have latency throwing you of beat.

If your strokes are coming in late....its gonna sound odd innit?

So...make sure you get it as quick a response as possible.

[Redlight]

What I was trying to say is that the responsiveness of the LPD 8 versus the midi fighter is going to be different so what you might see someone do with a midi fighter might take a little more work on an LPD8.

I'll have to second that. I have never used a LPD but I do have a couple midifighters. I dare say there is nothing else available, that is as responsive as a midifighter. It might be the best controller for cue point juggling. You can crab on the buttons with ease.

I'm pretty sure my timing isn't the problem. I play a couple real instruments, so good there. I'm listening to the mixer cue to time my hits, which is the same thing the crowd is hearing, and it's in time, no sync needed. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem I'm having, it's introducing a crowd to a completely different concept. Anybody ever spring something new on their home crowd?

[sarasin]

Sure!

Half loved....the other half were not liking (ignorance).

I think it could be latency then matee!

[DJ Nada]

Alright, I'll record it tonight, maybe a video so you guys can see the reaction and hear that the music is pretty tightly sync'd. Who knows, maybe they'll like it the second time I run it past them.

I'm leaving right now to go DJ. I'm on the west coast.. Let you guys know how it turns out.

My other passion is MMA, so if beer gets on my gear, club night is going to turn into fight night Do they make raincoats for a laptop, mixer, TT, CDJ, and LPD8?

[dubgiant]

subtle is okay..

but from my experience, people dancing IN A CLUB usually don't enjoy a lot of beat juggling or scratching. they like to listen to songs and remixes of songs and thats about it. Its sad but when playing for other people, heres the list of the most important things ranging from most important to least important.

1. Track selection
2. Track selection
3. Track selection
4. Decent mixing (keep the flow going. A few off beats are okay as long as you don't trainwreck)
5. Crowd interaction (no one likes to see someone sitting behind their laptop
6. How you look
7. The clothes your wearing
8. Your ethnicity

100. scratching and beat juggling and turntablism....
