JohnnyHotPockets

thank you for the info guy they have msged me and im yet to call them back (only got the msg late at night) the last wedding i did was extremely laid back, thats why i did it. i think i will have a chat and see what she is after. The last wedding i did wasn't bad, for the people going. it was just i could tell the little subtle details. But I do agree, I don't want to be the reason they may not be happy with the night. Thanks again really appreciate the advice.

I watched that video Scottie, that's exactly what I am looking for right now, thank you very much. Massive help

yeah so, the person who wants me to play says "this is the list of artists, genres and songs i want you to play throughout the night" and then during the night i might get people asking me to play this song (off my equipment). so normally i have a laptop and an ipod plugged into my mixer and i bounce between the 2 manually cross fading. Thanks for the info, ill check out some of the things that you suggested

My budget would be probably around $500-$1000. I'm thinking at the moment I'd be after CDJ's and Mixer. Being that at the moment I play songs requested, would this be what id need? Thank you for the patience and reply's I really appreciate it.

Yeah, I don't think I will do any more that aren't family until I have more skill and experience. Like I said, I have been told that everyone likes it but I can tell its not perfect and it bugs me. Ill, have a search around on the forums here but can you suggest any beginner decks that are good for learning? I really enjoy it and would love to learn to mix. Thanks for the reply

Hey guys, JohnnHotPockets here I wasn't sure how to word the title so ill just jump into it. So, a few years ago we stopped going out clubbing and started having parties at home, so I bought 2x Behringer B115D's and a Redback A2554 mixer (just basically so we can have a couple of inputs and quickly change them). This is all well and good and I was happy just doing this. Then my mate told his mum I would use my equipment to do music for her 50th, which was ok because it was a family event and they were happy with me playing what ever music they wanted. Then they referred me to their friend and they wanted me to do a wedding. They all refer to me as a DJ which I insist im not, im just a jukebox because I don't mix, just cross-fade and play the music they tell me prior to the event. this same person has referred me to do another wedding and while the people I have done music for previously are happy with it, cross-fading music just seems extremely amateur and it kinda bugs me. Especially when they insist of paying me to do so. I would like to upgrade and get away from the mixer that I have and get something a bit more professional. My question is a 2 part question. Is it possible to beat mix non EDM i.e. rock, classic rock etc? I have always wanted to learn to properly mix and invest in some proper equipment, but for the meantime is there a mixer or software that will allow automatic cross-fading from different inputs with the ability to cue music? I apologise for the amateur questions. As I said everyone thinks it sounds good but I like to do things great, not good. thank you in advance for any responses. JHP
