    We hired a photog to come take some sweet pics of us for a presskit. They turned out pretty well in my opinion. We gave him as much as he could drink and hooked him up with the manager in return for him taking these pctures for us. Pretty good trade, something to consider if you need some sweet pics for gigs and poo poo like that. Im in the tie and you can see my dj partner in the background. Weve been playing around with a guitarist and MC, which is why we wanted the pics for a presskit in the first place.

Splinter posted:Asked this in the Mac thread, but probably better here: Anyone have recommendations for a laptop stand for a 15" MBP that is sturdy, height adjustable and rugged enough to survive some travel/gigs? Crane stand is the only one worth a poo poo IMO. You pay dearly for the quality though. I honestly really like the griffin brand stands like they sell at the mac store. Its not very tall and doesnt pack up very well but its super sturdy. And ill say it again: stands suck and you should tuck your computer as far from your face as you can. Its a distraction. oredun fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Nov 26, 2013 |

88h88 posted:Anyone else using in-ears at all? I find them easier to cue tracks with personally due to them sitting right in my ear. It also means I don't need to run the volume as loud which saves my hearing a bit. I just started using them because im gonna make myself go deaf if i dont change something. Theyre great when DJing by yourself and no requests, one is good if theres requests, and theyre impossible to use if djing with someone else. They only thing is, you have to be very confident you wont gently caress poo poo up live because sometimes you may not be able to even hear it.

Crunchtime posted:Thanks I ordered the non straight armed one. It'll be here next week when im out of town I got a new job and after a while they were all saying I needed a new name because i was just using my regular rear end name. So they made one for me. My name is Justin. So naturally they decided my DJ name is DJ Just Inflamed. And I had no power over what they put in ads and poo poo. So now what I do is just say my name is red and DJ name is red (I'm a ginger) and its a decent enough name and it helps me remember random people from work(cause nobody in real life calls me red). I don't know the moral of this story but don't be that guy with a stupid name. Like DJ A55 Pl4y for instance.

19 o'clock posted:Don't get me wrong - that was mostly sarcasm and whining about how I keep buying equipment in my last post. Right now I am in the middle of a 10 day burn of gigging every night outside of my day job. It's fun and I am losing track of the days. If I'm not packing up or moving gear for one gig, it's because I am busy printing posters and hanging them for the next. I am definitely doing okay and very happy that music supports itself. Thats my minimum too. I feel like its fair because, well, i would do just about anything for $50 an hour.

Lump Shaker posted:What's your Ableton setup like? Do you have a lot of crazy effects in your live set or a lot of other crap on your laptop? I'm trying to put together an Ableton setup and this is one of my biggest fears. Ableton crashes a lot. Its just a fact of life. Maybe like 1/25 risk of crash. I've used it for a really long time and many computers and it just crashes more than doing software. Last time I used it live it crashed actually.

a milk crime posted:I think acts like Raime, Holly Herndon, and Uwe Schmidt really throw your statements to the wind - people love their music (by people I mean at least me, and my friends, and those who see them life), and they don't do a whole lot of moving while they perform -and generally you can't even see them at the clubs where they perform anyway. You just named 3 people who are boring and ive never heard of them. Now think about how many actually famous djs just stare at their feet all night? Not all that many. Secondly, about ableton talk, it crashes a lot for being "live". Ive had it legally since 5 or 6, ive been to studios to train people how to use it, i can do some poo poo with it. But if you notice, the big names who use it have two laptops on stage with them because it crashes too much.

Lump Shaker posted:What are you feeding into that mixer as far as audio sources? Im not sure he realizes there are things that plug into the mixer that make noise. "Playing with mixers" I really like that to describe what we do. I especially like that someone whos into the scene thinks that what we do. Does anyone have any playing with mixer gigs that are both awesome and totally mind numbing at the same time? I just got this one, and its at "nice" restaurant bar thing, but goddamn its just old rich square white people getting wasted, so you can imagine the great music i get to play. And the worst part is.....i only play 15 mins an hr because i fill in for the band the night. So i sit for 45 mins and read my phone and eat chicken wings, and jump up for 15 mins, play poo poo music, and then sit back down. But, they pay me a decent amount in cash no taxes or none of that poo poo, and its super easy so thats the awesome part i guess. Ive done worse for less i figure. But fuckin a man, fuckin a. Itll make you want to get a real job sometimes.

Mister Speaker posted:Let's inject some more controversy into this thread because I'm bored today. This has been making the rounds on my FB feed amongst promoters and the like; Dillon Francis at Holy Ship viciously insulting a dancer for spilling a drink on his laptop. That was really loving rude and uncalled for. I dont think ill ever look at him again. She was just doing her job, and made a mistake....and he was just doing his job and made a mistake(by not having another cloned computer in his bag). Poor form overall.

Alfajor posted:I download a lot of stuff during the week on my computer at work. When I import everything to my DJing laptop, I like to convert all wavs to mp3s (at 320, stereo). I've been using Audacity to do this, and I'm tired of doing one at a time. I searched and found a batch workflow that is definitely faster than one at a time, but still requires a lot of clicking around. Theres this tiny little program called itunes that will batch convert wav to mp3 for you. Step 1: Select. Step 2: Right click. Step 3: Create mp3 version. Step 4: Ascend to higher plane of consciousness.

So my pioneer mixer pooped out on me. Does anyone know the fastest best way to get pioneer to fix it? So far ive never even been able to through to support on the phone(this scares me) and can only communicate via email with them. I looked for authorized repair place near me but there isnt any.

keevo posted:What's the go-to mixer that isn't a Rane 62 or DJM-900 or Z2 for those who play open format stuff? I need to start figuring out what mixer to buy because my Mackie D.2 sucks. I would go for the 62 since I'm a Serato guy but it's a lot of money for a two channel mixer. My DJM T1 was the poo poo. Until it broke. So who knows. The z2 doesnt seem very quality to me. The t1 feels super amazing and great, but ill be damned the left side went out. They only cost $600 so theres that too.

What kind of scene is this goin down in? I cant possibly imagine this tune working for any crowd ive ever played for. Ive been wrong before though.

I notice Pioneer have just released a couple of sets but the cheap set is still $160. Do these vsonics have the cinch thing on them to tighten them behind my head? I cant tell from pictures.

If you use relative mode you can use a turntable with seriously hosed anti-skate whatever. 2/3 of mine wont go past around the 5-7 minute mark. I actually like it better because i never have to reset the needle! Some sound guy nerd told me it fucks my poo poo up but ive been using them like that for hundreds of gigs. No change in any wear and tear i can find. Seriously though, i like them better broken...something to think about.

Poizen Jam posted:Being as I use a DDJ SX2 I really wasn't in the market for a RANE mixer. So this really, really sucks. I do not want to go back to Traktor Its not just a rane mixer, its specifically ONLY a ttm57 or sl1 box. The new ones with newer firmware dont work with scratch live. And honestly, ive never seen anyone do a good bridge set, and i have a really good top40 mix somebody made with bridge years ago but its the only good example ive seen. Its too complicated and traktor remix sets do a much better job of the same thing. I used to be a huge serato fanboi but now i think traktor is better after theyve crammed all that poo poo into serato dj. oredun fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Feb 26, 2015 |
