No. I do it because:
a) It's Fun. b) It's a way of ensuring that the music played on a night out/at a party isn't mostly gash.

I thought the main effect of being a dj would be to have a load of dweebs hanging around looking at what you're doing, people asking you to play stuff, getting into tiresome shouted conversations over the blaring music and trying to get someone to go and get you a drink.

That's the long and short of it. For every remotely attractive girl, there 10 blokes (usually youngish kids) who keep leaning over to shout or ask inane things and keep banging into the desk as they do so, causing the records to skip. I've even had someone (who I didn't know and had never spoken to me before) told me to "Look after my pint while I dance." This wasn't a polite question, it was said as an order. I asked him if I looked like a fucking barman and he seemed genuinely offended.
Other top ones are "Can I look through your record box?" At which point they proceed to drop your records all over the floor and bend the sleeves and them wetting their knickers if you have a kaoss pad. I've actually not taken it to places with a fairly accessible desk before, because the lit up touch pad seems to scream, "Lean over and mash at me arhythmically, drenching the sound in bad reverb and making every one in the venue glare at the DJ" and frankly, it pisses me off.

I've never really understood what the kaoss pad actually does, I think
Can you somehow record something where you use the kaoss pad and periodically contrast it with dry versions of the track you're using it on? Maybe also comment what it actually is you're doing?

Actually the one time I did DJ I nearly got into a fight... with a girl. Though she did buy me half a lager afterwards.
Half a fucking lager, who buys half a lager? I suppose if you don't really like the person you're buying it for...

Buying someone half a pint is like leaving a 5p tip at a restaurant; it's an insult, that's what it is.
DM:
It's not hooked up to my computer at the moment so unfortunately can't record it, but basically it's an "all in one" FX box. The quality of the fx is fine for DJing, but I've never really thought they were up to scratch for studio work. The touchpad is just like a bigger version of a laptop touchpad and for each of the different fx, the x-axis controls one paramter and the y-axis controls the other. You can set it to "hold" and fx being on, or just when you tap it, so for example you can add reverb to the snare in a break, but not the kick drum.
The xy pads in Fruityloops /Ableton are basically copies/do the same thing.
There's also an incredibly limited sampler built in with only 5 seconds of sampling time (I think this is expanded on the KP2 and is certainly better on the KP3).

i actually stoped djing because of that. i mean on every single party i played there were always these stupid trancy girls who had no clue what i was doing and praised me like like god.
of course they always yelled when there was a breakdown in the track thinking this was my intention.
yeah-cool-music-you-play-very-experimental-got-any-prodigy- oh and i left because those questions
AT EVERY SINGLE PATY !!
(oh and btw. don't expect to get nice girls into your pants when playing idm...)

there is nothing worse then being at a wikkd party and then having to stop socializing to go and DJ. I'd rather have a couple of pints... dance... goof around with friends....
rather then stand around. make sure you're set-time is locked. spend every $$ buying records. worry that your headphones will break. you remembered your dj needles.... and the million other issues with dj'ing...
plus if i hit a big sound system... I'd rather bring gear and really knock it out.

i actually never liked playing alone - we have rou local dj's crew here called "comicstore" - we meet every now and then alltogether and spin around black ones.
it's always fun you know - i mean sometimes we are like 6 dj's at once and when one is on the decks the rest tries to find a track that will fit.
it's cool when you have a set consisting of music of a few guys.

a male or a female friend, tridenti? just curious..
i dj because, i don't know really..because it's nice when you make people dance maybe..i don't like to be in centre of attention so i would prefer being hidden, but then i wouldn't get any feedback so that wouldn't work..im doing a 6hr set on thursday btw, should be fun.
