Nicely dawg!

for the first hour i was scared and i had some problems with mixing (even with beatmatching) and this EVO 4 seems to be so complicated...but later i start to feel pretty good - and that was it! I was playing from cdj's and traktor scratch, traktore start to freaking out, he reject many of my tracks (DRM protection or corrupt file - what the hell? that music was bought on beatport day earlier) but that was amazing. i finished at 5 pm ONLY because i have no more fresh tracks (i have about 70 songs for 2h of mixing) in other case i would stay till 9 pm.

Lesson learned... have more music than you think you need!

Glad it went well for ya.

Also play or analyze your tracks before the gig, so you know which are 'faulty'.

When it comes to digital DJing, it really pays to do your homework.

Gridding, naming track correctly, sorting them....etc.

[mdcdesign]

"DRM protection or corrupt file" is typically caused by either a) not having QuickTime installed, or b) Traktor can't actually locate the file... running a consistency check can usually fix the latter.

Corrupt ID3 tags is also a common problem, which can be caused by Traktor itself.

Tagging programs like MP3Tag can easily fix files with broken tags.
