I think I'm now at the level where I can play gigs and really impress crowds - I keep pushing myself to improve, even though I know I'm good enough I'd still be nervous beforehand.
Mixing into someone else's set that's playing before me - how do I know my levels are right? I'm using an S4. I'd need to manually beatmatch into their song wouldn't I? or just play an instrumental intro over their outro. What I'm asking is how will I know if my song is going to be too loud or too quiet? Do I test it before the gig?
DJ booths - I'm quite tall so will I be bending down all night whilst mixing? I suppose I'll need a stand for my Laptop and maybe the S4 because the last thing I want is to be having to bend down to mix.
Is there anything you can do to prevent 'freezing' when something goes wrong? I've done it a few times when playing for friends but it's not that bad. I guess if I missed a cue point or something or accidentally stopped a playing deck I'll be crushed for the rest of the night.
2 new night clubs have just opened in my city so this is a perfect opportunity for me to start gigging and making a name for myself.
Thanks
