Hey how's it going everybody? I'm curious to know what are some of your biggest frustrations/troubles with DJing? This can really be anything: track organization, trouble with transitions, getting consistent gigs, basically anything DJ related I want to hear about it.
To kick things off I'll start with 2 of my biggest frustrations
1) Track organization: track organization has become such a pain that it paralyzes me to even think about organizing my library. I also don't get as much new music as I probably should because I know it's just adding to the pile. I find track organization is especially difficult if you're a multi genre DJ (I do a lot of mobile/wedding gigs alongside club/lounge gigs). I may go a couple months without a mobile gig and think to myself man I just want to get rid of some of this stuff then bam i'll need it for an upcoming mobile gig.
2) Moving beyond 2 decks: I've had the F1's since they launched, and like most of you, I was blown away at the possibilities, however it was soon obvious that the F1's require a very different thought process. It's not as simple as FX or transitions. It requires a lot more conscious effort about what you're using in there, and it's also a lot more difficult to plan how to smoothly get out of the remix decks without losing the vibe. Currently i'm still trying to figure out the best system/workflow for using the remix decks that will give me consistent results.
So those are my big 2 right now, what are yours?
