A few Questions about DJing

[Deejaesnafu]

i dont use cdjs, i prefer real tables and button pushing myselff, but rubbish? im rofling, this must be why (almost) every serious or semi serious money making DJ uses them. and yet i have never , ever seen a money making dj outside the wedding circut using american dj gear.

sounds legit.

[Deejaesnafu]

u can do what you want on any controller or even a qwerty keyboard if u put in the work, i still wouldnt go around calling cdjs rubbish. i also wouldnt brag about getting things done with a few train wrecks, just sayin.

The great thing about mixing in two songs that you heard somewhere else, is that you will never be able to fully recreate that sound that you have heard before. One of the wonders of Mixing.

I would mix the songs together as practice. Don't let this block your creativity and think 'these songs go together really well, ill keep on mixing these two.' there might be a better combination of songs that you are limiting yourself from.

Also if it is two BIG songs mixed in together that work well and everyone knows, this might play against you when trying to promote yourself. People will assume you are one of 'those' dj's who just copy everyone else.

and who can even tell with hardcore lols.

who`s bragging, they are my sets, my train wrecks mixed in deckadance, i would`nt brag about buying anything based on some rubbish scratching and crappy london 120bpm music where you have 2 whole seconds to press play inbetween kicks

even more so, when most tunes arn`t even mixed in youtube video`s, everyone used the sync button, then just chops the mix into the next tune, and have to mess about with the EQ`s nonstop because they have`nt normalized all they`re tunes to the RMS averages

the latency is low enough to match a bar, and let go of the scratch part of the jog wheel, with instant "pickup" for hardcore where you have 0.8 seconds inbetween kicks

I like when people come ask for help and then bash and argue with everyone...

<sigh>

[keithace]

its not me who asked for help, i said the VMS4.1 will do what you want for another 5 years or so, if you want to get some cdj`s, you can just plug them in to the analog jacks, and wont need a new controller or mixer, ontop of having to buy a bling computer

ontop of everything, its only £260 in the shops in the uk

yes you did...now calm down...

[keithace]

garagehead101 started the thread, not me, nobody on london radio, or pirates can mix, its not me who needs help

seems as though you are right...my apologies...

still...relax...
