dim

the motto of the mobile dj?

^ bahahahah, would work at most functions tho ey? cringe

good post ean, i mean karma, i mean... +rep anyway boss. see: http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... 6525#76525

^good option, better than entering a loop and thinking you can get away with that for 10 minutes! Am I right in thinking most dance mixes are still based on the 12" vinyl format and so are all about 10 minutes anyway? anyone got any other songs more suited to the function/mobile DJ that are long? meatloaf - paradise by the dashboard light @ 8.29 bat out of hell @ 9.50 goodtimes by chic @ 8.10 I've loads of jazz/funk/disco trips too but anything more up to date/less cinematic?

oh i get it, you mean: "Professional Vinyl-Emulating Compact Disc Turntables" why didnt you just say so?

there's something wrong here vladpp... cant quite put my finger on it tho. shit of course: if i didnt breath how could i inhale smoke?

is true. What's worse is if they're in the loo you've got no chance of getting in there until the next solar flare/total alignment of planets in the solar system.

lest we forget: if there's a queue at the bogs you've no chance... djims old skool recommendations (all 10 min or more): rappers delight: the sugarhill gang the rapture: Blondie (original full length mix) Give it up or turn it loose: James Brown Got to give it up: marvin gaye andymans cig break favs: Radioslave - Grindhouse (Dubfire Terror Planet Remix) Deep Dish - Say Hello 16 Bit Lolitas - Murder Weapon keep 'em coming girls and boys.

ha my rep floweth over this week! 2 girls one rep! is your rep half full or half empty! god i need some sleep.. glad to be of help though mate.

ya know, this may sound wierd, but if you turn it 90 degrees the pads would be where you want them. the faders would work horizontally not vertically and the screen would be a pain to read but ya know: if the cap fits you wear it right? depends which functions are most important to you and how you feel using it really.

which one, the mdp 26?

mate, I regularly play 5 to 7 hours non stop. we have a smoking ban in this country so I need regular piss, bar visit and fag breaks.... how about we start a thread called: "songs long enough to fit a piss break in"? i'll begin with the old skool ones: rappers delight: the sugarhill gang the rapture: Blondie (original full length mix) Give it up or turn it loose: James Brown Got to give it up: marvin gaye if theres a queue at the bog you're fooked anyway tho!

best of luck pal

naH BLUD, it's important to be comfy, that's why i couldnt settle for the s4 (pads above the transport buttons) you wouldnt ask a guitarist to turn his axe upside down or change where the tremelo arm is ey? As far as i can tell midi controllers are just a load of buttons and nobs so the lay out is all that's important mate.

akai mpd 26 or the little brother akai lpd 8 have lots of buttons, knobs, and lovely akai pads. Akai rep for build is good but TBH I dont think any manufacturer really gives a lot of thought to midi controller build quality these days. I dont think they make much from these products? this page shows lots of controllers for dj control and/or studio control: http://www.htfr.com/pages/quickSearch.p ... =0&catID=8

just subscribed to your channel sol. hope you know you are my mentor mate! i would never have thought of this without your lead! chk my channel if you get a min, i'll slowly post tutorials for kids at my lessons but all feedback mad appreciated.

In the U.K. in reasonable venues no one gives a fook what you turn up with as long the sound you produce does the job and all your kit is safe/legal. In smaller venues and those living in the past they may still fear change and in my experience the issues the venue owners are concerned with are as follows: 1) Is it safe? Non maintained gear can damage a sound system, staff or the public. All appliances require annual PAT testing in this country. Plus you require public liability insurance to use anything of your own in a public place. So if you want to bring something into a club there's two extra things the venue owner has to check you have = more work for him. 2) How will you wire it up and how will you leave it after you're done? The venue owner needs to know there will be no damage to any of his equipment and that whoever follows you in the booth will not have to struggle to re-wire things during a busy saturday night. Essentially if you cant plug in and set up and then pack down and leave without stopping the flow of the music you are not going to make any friends at all. It's highly likely that someone has tried this before you and made a real mess of it which is why the owner has got a bee in a bonnet in the first place. Worst still is if the venue owner is so worried about this that he/she gets in the way and causes you to make an error, they'll never understand it would have gone better if they trusted you so better to approach things slowly. Maybe agree a time to practice setup and show them what it involves? If you think the argument between controllers vs dex etc are what is really on the venue owners mind then you're not recognising how busy he/she is and how much else they've got on their plate. Even if she/he does mention this it's probably just coz some barback has got an opinion that they've put fwd. As with most things in life: proove yourself 1st by doing whatever they want. When you have earnt trust and are known as reliable explain what you want to do yourself at an opportune moment (not during an event), explain it is legal, have the certificates ready to proove it is, show you understand the owners concerns but check exactly what is on their mind and why they dont want to try the new out, try and alleviate their fears without making them look or feel dumb. Then proove that doing it your way makes no difference at all to anyone for any reason except making you a bit more comfortable... and no one'll care.
