Went over to a mate's place and he explained how to mix with 2 record players etc... I thought it was hard, but not THAT hard. But after 2 hours I managed to sync 2 records quite reasonable within the duration of one of the records (took me about 5 minutes to sync the damn things). But... I just wanted to share this with you... ; ) |

congratulations! |

Well done. Try learning to scratch- that's the hardest, esp. with a beat mixing mixer :P |

Dj'ing is no more about beat matching nowadays. Look at venetian snares: cross-fader right - move head right cross-fader left - move head left cross-fader right - move head right cross-fader left - move head left cross-fader right - move head right cross-fader left - move head left cross-fader right - move head right cross-fader left - change track So concentrate more on the way you look cool when mixing. work your smile. work the way you block your headphones between your shoulder and your neck. Get some cool t-shirt. |

Don't forget the Marlboro Light in your mouth |

I do have a little pain in the neck from that headphone-blocking. Anyways, I enjoyed it a lot, especially when I first synced 2 records and it just worked out right. I dont smoke... is that a problem to become a DJ? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes - start with 5 lucky lights for the first two weeks. |

DJs who smoke whilst playing are so annoying. Smoke damages the equipment (okay, so does smoke machine smoke...), ash in the crossfader etc. is not nice. It dirties the mixer buttons etc. it's another thing to distract you etc. I think they're like 14 year olds- smoking to look hard. |
||||||||

Oh, whilst on the subject of DJing, has anyone here ever used monitor speakers rather than headphones for cueing etc? works pretty well. |
||||||||

I smoke while I DJ in my bedroom. My teddy bears reckon I look, I quote, "Hard as nails". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it's so horrible cleaning after a party when all the djs have smoked by the decks and thrown the stuff everywhere plus djs who wont play if they don't smoke are pains in the butt; we organize chill-out events so it would be nicer if no-one smoked in the main room |

i somehow doubt this |

I think food is more my thing while playing. Candybars! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh candybars is a good idea.. C738 will be playing melodies on 'Mars' in the future ..on second thoughts, maybe 'Nuts' is more suitable for you |

And yet, morton, I still have feelings for you, because under that tough image, there is a very fragile, soft and tender person... ah wait a minute, that wasnt you... You're just that brat with that tough guy image everyone can see through... (DONT take me serious morton) :) |

Lots of clubs have monitors... You can easily connect them to the headphone port with the correct cables & jacks. Saves you getting "headphone crick" in your neck :) |

Heh all those nice tips, and I just had a tiny little taste of DJ-ing! I just nkow I mustnt start to enjoy this. I'm already addicted to midi-gear, now another expensive hobby??? Would mean my financial end... |
||||||||

<--- grabs the treble and the bass knobs and starts rotating his body while he twists them...then he gives the treble knob a sudden twist while releasing... excellent move, it makes go the crowd go on fire while making you look buisy... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My tip: Don't have the monitor level in your headphones too high. Also: smoking while mixing, making a mess, spilling ash on the mixer, chucking cans on the floor etc... Guilty as charged. + previous form for doing lines off the mixer, stealing lighters, bringing my own alcohol to the club, blowing up amps & playing run dmc in a drum n bass set |

mixing snares is easy, i was doing it the other night... you just put the two on and move the fader around. it sounded good too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it's a little bit more complex. you have to move the head accordingly to the fader position. see the 4th post on this topic for more break-l33t teknikz |

Im just worried that I DO like it and that I spend more and more money on records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh you big old 'krent' |
||||||||
|

I need to buy a shitload of gear. I cant afford to also buy tables and stuff... Maybe I need to sell my body... Anyone??? Morton??? just 20 Euros! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excuse me?! buy your body?! who do you think i am?! i'd rather buy a dog :) or chupachups or a polarbear and besides that 20 Euros is way too much i am not rich ("i am mike" <- not funny) i have only 80 cents but if you desperately need money i'd advice you to remix 26 songs and put them on a CD.. you only have to think of an original CD-name after that.. |
||||||||

'ODE to Morton' I'll call it. |
||||||||
|
|

yeah beat mixing feels good - i just mixed jay jay johanson into the gantz graf track last night (yes it fits together) smoking while spinning doesnt ruin anything - i hate not being able to smoke when i spin somewhere - learn to scratch - its hard at first (i remember i smashed a lot of my break records in anger) but stick w/ it - djing is fun galore also if you mix stuff like v snares (with no understandable parttern of drums or structure) it DOESNT matter how you mix - when i mix too noise tracks i dont give a fuck where the pitch control is on either deck yeeeeeeeee haw |
