**First Set on Funktion One** Hey, so I’ve got a set this Friday…it’s one of my first (first paid) and it’s on a decent Funktion One set-up which is far superior to what i’ve played on before. Any tips in terms of EQing and stuff? Also, I’m running a macbook pro, traktor pro 2, a VCI100SE and a Numark DJIO soundcard. I’ll be playing 320mp3s. Anyone had a problem with the sound quality of that sound card? and are mp3s ok, or should i definitely use WAVs? I’ve never had a problem before, but was just wondering incase there are problems with a heavier soundsystem. Cheers ---

Never used that soundcard myself so maybe its fine but I’d rather use an audio 2 at least… 320s will be fine mate. ---

The Funktion one will just sound awesome, relax and have fun! ---

I haven’t had experience with your soundcard but my old residency was a funktion one system. What to expect: 1. The feeling when you crank it and that bass hits your midsection is indescribable. That alone will bring goosebumps. 2. You’re going to feel like the man, the power of this system is nuts. 3. More goosebumps 4. Enjoy it man, your songs will only sound like this on a few big systems. The only soundcard I used on that system was my audio 8 and it sounded excellent. If the place has a funktion one it will def have an AV guy who will make sure you are set up right. Again, enjoy it man and bring it big! ---

Make sure the sound guy sets up the speakers properly. Its not always the djs fault. If its badly eq’d and your crossovers arent setup properly it can be pretty nasty for the audience. Ive been on the receiving end, if people arent dancing next to the speakers and giving them evil looks, thats your cue. Chances are though if they have funktion one, they know what theyre doing. Smash that place up with some serious bass! ---

bring ear protection, system one engineers (oh no they’re not) dont tend to grasp venue half full, amp half volume. Other than that, stay out of the red and you’ll be fine. ---

just stay at 320 kBit/s and don’t change that quality either way, you’ll be fine that way. ---

Tip, dont blow the speakers, thatll be a hefty bill to pay. ---

I am based in Leeds i know alot about traktor, I would not mind helping you out with course content what the..? you been smoking something, or did you answer a question in the wrong thread? 😉 ---

All went well, and the promotor said he wants me again, so job done. It just wasn’t as busy as hoped…the guy before me was playing quite chilled tech house when it was getting busier, which seemed like a real error. it almost seemed like he had planned his set to the minute, so when it needed to be a bit heavier, he wasnt able to adapt and he ended up almost clearing the dancefloor to the other room. I was playing bass-driven house/ future garage/ uk funky which helped to pick things up, but there wasn’t really much I could do. It was fun though, and everything went without a hitch. ---

Go in with a cool audio signal and tell the Sound Engineer that you are coming in cold…he can pump it! 🙂 ---
