How annoying is it.... (post your complaints here)

[pill]

I'll start:

How annoying is it when some drunk bitch gets upset because a song that everyone usually loves has some negative correllation to her (probably slutty) youth and squeals "next song" on the dance floor until the mood is completely ruinied?

(i dont know about you but in general i have a "if a song starts it finishes" policy

[SourceRaver]

I disagree...if the song isnt working (ie clears the dance floor) mix in the next asap.

If you start doing weddings, make sure you ask the bride and groom about songs they DONT want played. Nothing kills the mood faster than a song that instantly reminds the bride of time spent with an ex boy friend!

[pill]

of course, I'm just saying its annoying when there's one whiny person that keeps saying next song like they are the one in charge of the function (when normally they're a straggling aunt invited out of pity that no one really wants there)

I'm with you on this one PILL...

I think there is nothing more disrespectfully than being yell at from the dance floor...

I know I'm not going to please eveyone , all the time....most off the time I just blow it of & keep going

but if you keep DISS me

I dont give a fuck who you are...thear will be trouble

I carry the Scratch record SFX just for that reason

I make a song thats bad sound fun with effects if it dont work

or the sfx of George Jetson saying "Oh I pushed the wrong button again" people laugh then just as he is saying it the split second he finishes or as he finishes I start a new song (you have to watch to know how its done)

you just have to do it or know the way to do things like that to do in a split seconds notice

so if you need tricks call me - you have the phone number

got your number...it's 0800dickhead

[Skank]

im with wazza on this one, 99% of the time at a serious gig you would of been hired for a reason (like recommendations from friends and so on) so if some ganga is yellin at you on the floor tell her to close her ears and open her mouth

[DjDennis]

yawn well when you know that the crowd asks for it and they wont do a thing but hey you know it all you been doing this for many years and are a great Dj

have a nice day

[DjSTRiKE]

Has anyone had dealings with mobydisc? they anoy me.

i mean ffs they use 2 walkmans connected to a mixer -.-"

[pill]

Far out man they are horrible. Their DJs in Perth get a video jukebox and are paid $20/hour. No wonder they can charge $400 for a wedding...

[DjSTRiKE]

Yeah. i don't know one person that has had positive feedback about them, and there undercutting alot of DJ's so people take them and they dont know what there getting themself into. its stupid. they dont even "DJ" as such, they just play songs, and that outfit they wear? LOL.

a massive amount of mobile DJs just play music. Being a good DJ is very hard and takes years. Meaning a lot or most mobile DJs just settle for weddings n shit where the high skill level isnt needed

[Skank]

how annoying is it when

you are in a hotel or bar and see i djing obviously cueing up tracks for a transition and when it comes to the end of the track they just smack the fader accross.

its not hard to practice simple transitions, your not a fuckin rockstar no one in the building is here to listien to you play get creative or fuck off

[pill]

bleurgh the 'resident' dj at the mint night club in perth might as well be using itunes

[DjSTRiKE]

I got told a while back by my Dj mentor:

"good music makes a good party, but good music + good mixing makes a better party" I take this into consideration with every gig i do

[Cupe]

wize wurdz

[FabDJ]

Hell my first rig was a couple of walkmans and a balance control.

Was hard work reading CD covers and guessing track numbers.

Didnt even have time to get drunk and start a fight.

Mobile Dj's may not have high skill levels when it comes to mixing, but they should have highly developed skills in other areas like reading the crowd, dealing with drunks and 'conflict resolution'. Sometimes you need to have a tough skin and be prepared to play music that you really dislike. Kudos to those who pull it off on a regular basis.

[CBG]

i should explained myself better, you pretty much did it for me SR,thanks

[gcdj]

One of the worst things i have encounted is having everyone up and dancing then some drunk chick comes behind the dj booth trips over my cords turning the music off.

[pill]

ouch. I haven't had that problem yet but i am always scared of it happenning.

new annoyance:

... when it's the night before an expo and you run out of paper / ink with half your flyers still to print

[Lurk6r]

When parents come up and want to look through my crate for music their kid would like. And no pink doesn't get the fugging party started...

[pundaddy]

One almighty grave dig.

[legunner]

i would rather not dj for a month then dj at a party for kids 16 or under.

[SolDios]

^ you would hate my first gig at the end of this month :/ a 16th
