been lurking for a while now so i just wanted to introduce myself. professionally i go by DJ elixeR and my original production's are under the name elixeR. I got into DJing after producing and at the moment have a mixtrack pro with Virtual DJ 7 PRO (i would ues traktor but for some reason it absolutely will not work on my laptop even though i have all the proper specs and drivers and serato just seems disgusting to me so until i can upgrade my laptop im on VDJ) and its a fairly decent setup in my opinion for someone just starting. after playing solely for myself and a few friends, i finally decided i was ready to start actually DJ'ing. Im currently booked to headline an overnight beach bonfire in april and its my first real show with other DJ's. Do any of you have any tips or tricks to have a great first show? im not worried about any of my gear failing im just worried about me being overly nervous and messing something up. Also between now and then i have roughly $200 that i could spend on gear and full access to a design and fabrication lab (woodshop but with plasma cutters welders and grinders for metal stuff) is there anything that i should have other than a laptop and my mixtrack pro that anyone could think of me getting or making? if it helps im going to be playing an electro/dubstep set at first then im going up again and playing neurofunk/liquid funk for my 2nd set. Glad to finally be on the forum and im hoping for some great feedback!
