LabRat

Problem with that is after a few spilt drinks those things are fucked haha there was a video going around of some guy who made his own booth out of mdf or whatever. That thing was covered in some spillage from some pretty heavy nights and this thing just collapsed on itself. The booth at the bar I play at is on its way out too. It looks super sketchy

I'd say it would come down more to the production of the song and what you do with your melodies and what not rather than the sounds themselves. Take Virtual Riot as an example. Skrillex somewhat made those growl sounds mainstream. Virtual Riot hasn't done anything different to what Skrillex has done but it's what he does with his sounds that make his productions cool. Be creative as well. People sampling real life sounds and making pretty wild leads out of them. It's becoming a really popular thing so try diving into that and experimenting with different techniques. I made a pretty outrageous sound using the initial patch in Massive and other plugins to modulate and warp it. You don't want to sound like everyone else either so take existing sounds and play around with them to make them your own. Anything is possible when you click stuff.

I found myself in a similar situation at the bowls club. They were having a sad because they couldn't sign new members and asked for a "youthful" perspective. They took no ideas on. I moved to a new club and they're embracing change to the fullest and it's a really good atmosphere to be apart of. I'd say this committee is stuck in their old ways and are too afraid to jump off the fence. It might be worth getting the members to speak up and put their voices forward. Most committee members are usually an absolute waste of air and are only up there for the bragging rights. Get the voice of the members heard and it should be enough to force their arms. The second the committee find out they're not going to pay they'll make changes

With the way technology is today I’d say there are a lot of people around the ages of 16-19 doing sound design. Back when I started it was a little more complicated and when you heard a 18 year old designing sounds it was kind of a big thing. Now it’s not overly impressive if I’m honest because synths and accessibility to information is very easy

So who is actively is still djing in venues here? I wanna know what music is been played around the country. The scene in Perth has hit a big lull to the point the people coming into the venues don’t even know what they want to hear. I’m interested to hear what you guys are dealing with

Seeking some good top 40 remixes along the funky house / tech house vibes. Any house sub genre will do though. Anyone good to point me in the direction?

Yeah had a look but they have nothing. I think this update was supposed to fix it. it'll continue to be drag and drop for me for now

Yeah. Rekordbox updated last night and it still doesn’t work. I think there was an iTunes update not that long ago

Does anyone have an issue / fix for rekordbox 5.2 so I can read iTunes 12.7 playlists? keeps telling me .xlm extension doesn't work

I was supposed to be Lab Rat (AUS) but it didn’t happen so my tunes are mixed up with the other guy…

Welcome. You need equipment, you need music, and you need to know what you're doing! So with that basic stuff out of the way, you don't really need any kind of licenses even though you should probably register to APRA. APRA distributes royalties to the artists when their music has been broadcast. You'll be required to fill in a performance report every time you play and submit it to them. I don't know anyone that does it though but it's food for thought. You need an ABN if you wish to do such work. Just like starting any business really. Try not to bite off more than you can chew. If you're new to DJing you're definitely heading that way by starting a mobile DJ business. I say this with all respects of course because we've all been here. I can only assume you have very little to no experience so I would strongly recommend you learn the ropes and figure out how to mix first. All the fancy new gear pretty much mixes for you but it's still very important you learn these things. I'm sure there's a million, 101 guides online so partnering that with practise you should be able to pick this up quite quickly. Good luck!

I don't think he comes around here much. He's pretty active on Facebook so you should be able to message the page

Problem solved

The Australian music scene is quite political. My best advice is just to keep meeting people and get involved with promoters. Where are you staying in Australia?

I just copped the new version of rekordbox so I'm just importing my music into that. I figured I should just do it. However, I went to reformat my SD cards. Is FAT the same as FAT32? there's no option for FAT32 on the new MBP but from what I've read I'm just assuming that FAT will work fine

time code

Old boy here needs some new knowledge. I'm just wondering whether, 1) I can load my library on an external HD and convert to my music to my sd cards that way or does the music need to be on the local hard drive? 2) can I still use the old version? I have all my music on my old MacBook Pro and any new version of rekordbox just makes it piss (its a bit old). I would rather keep using that then put all my music on my new MacBook Pro because I don't wanna clog it up with shit while it's still new I haven't mixed for over 2 years and I see that rekordbox is up to version 5. I might be jumping back behind the decks and if I am I want to leave a good impression, starting by knowing how the fancy new tech works. Thank you kindly

Going to your house

have you got equipment yet?

I didn't have intentions of coming to this but could kill 2 birds with 1 stone that weekend so I shall deliberate

My EP is finally out. Here's a copy and past from the ol' faceballs "On a personal level, it's been a hell of a ride. I started this so long ago, about her. I never though I'd share this and I spoke so little about it but it feels good to have this out in the open. 6 years on and I can finally close this chapter and move onto the next. I guess it's kinda cliché with the release being on Valentines Day but it's definitely the icing on the cake."

Posting tunes to get me that hat-trick for producer of the year
