Cupe Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 When playing live, what do you use to keep everything in order to keep your sets going all night?How much pre-preperation do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanmaessen Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I've never pre-planned a set, funny enough. Probably why so many of them fail .. lolEvery now and then a gem comes out of it, or at least a good hour or so you can pluck from a 4 hour recording that sounds ok.

Trip Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Most of teh house parties i've done involve a 5-6 hour set. it hurts towards the end but its all good fun. In terms of preperation, I make a setlist as best I can and have it on my laptop next to me so I dont have to start choosing tracks on the fly.

Trip Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 ^ i'd like to have a set like that. bust out at a place with only my speakers, roadcase and cd wallet. Less anxiety than a proper gig i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skank Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 one magic word to make your long set so much easierSERATOkeep track of songs you have already played keeps your head open to the tracks you forgot about in the bottom of your virtual crate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 thats where being a professional djyou never play the same song more than once a night periodyou get to play more tracks and when you played a track put it aside so you wont play it againbeen doing that for a long time...

Funkedub Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 done som every long after party sets, 10+ hours. generally only preperation was enough beer and other things to keep going.and a lot of records.I'm going to agree with this one.Did a house party this weekend and just packed my bag with as many tunes as i could squeeze in (considering the crowd that would be there) and made sure i had plenty of beer Set lists don't allow you to work with the vibe of the party as it moves along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blodders Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 the most planning i'll do is ogranise my tunes in to some sort of style classifications makes it a little easier. Tunes and lots of them... usually anthing over 4 hours i'll take a second bag of records. but now with serato it's still one create of tunes serato (still have a small digi library) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
