Hi everyone,
My story: Part time DJ, wedding DJ mainly. I won't set the world on fire with mixes and scratches. I can keep the dance floor going, but I get paid to be good on a mic, and run the show, which I can do. I use Traktor Pro.
I'm married, with family, full time job, and busy all the time. When it comes to computers, heck, even reading the Traktor Bible, I'm not sure if it's my lack of patience, or me not being technical enough to get it all, but I know that I don't know enough. Just enough to make things work. I'd like to be better, know the program more and what it can do. My time is valuable to me, so I would pay someone who's local, (I'm in Lake Forest) to come out, show me things HANDS on, with my system. I'm serious about what I do, don't get me wrong. I've invested in a lot over the last couple years, and have had no complaints on my gigs! I just want to feel better about Traktor, and maybe have an outsider look in and give me pointers, tips. Hope that all made sense!
I use: HP Pavilion DV7, 8GB, Two HD of 750 GB each. Traktor Pro. Kontrol X1. Denon 1600 mixer. QSC KW181 sub and K12's as mains.
If anyone is in Orange County, CA, and is interested, please shoot me a message. I'm fair about people's time and money.
I've called DJTECH directly, they're in SF area, so no luck there. Native is in LA, but they don't have anyone in OC either, and sometimes I wonder if the responses I get are from people here in the US! I even tried a "DJ" school a year ago, and that was not what I expected. I told them exactly what I was looking for, and they taught their own agenda, didn't listen to me, so I stopped going. As you can see, I'm serious about my side job craft, but again, time and me maybe being a bit impatient and needing to be hands on. For me to spend hours reading, etc, it's tough for me with a 5 year old pulling at me non stop!
Thanks for any input, or anyone interested!
