BeatLeSS Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 stage antics, you can write more on it, BPM, Key, Cue points (times) etc.But you look cooler ejecting and inserting discs all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggssell Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 that was/ and possibly is the standard from what i remember hearing.remember these people arent using mp3's so the most they can get on a disc is maybe 10 tracks (less for those 10 minute trance songs).so it is heaps easier to have less songs on the cd.im sure people would have no more than 5 tracks per disc, definitely no more than 10.armed or cbg, what do you guys do? its only a handful right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattus123 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 well thast what made me question my playlist making skillsi put on as many songs as i could fit onto the disc which is roughly about 12 (i dont make mp3 cds)but after hearing this, im starting to tihnk maybe i should have more cd's with less on themalso... is there a certain way i should organize tracks into cds? obviously im not gonna put country music with trance, but should the tracks on each cd have similar bpms and stuff, or doesnt it really matter?

pulsebeat Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 what i do is i make a playlist, listening to songs to get which song goes on whatthen i make 2 cds, complete exact then mix and go!!just a way i do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 im real fussy with my cds and i tend to burn them like vinyl. example - i'll buy the whole release and burn that release onto cd - could have 2 songs or more. if its a single release (like you're typical white label) then i'll burn that single to cd. i enjoy looking through my wallet seeing releases rather then a bunch of cds with a playlist of random songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarmed Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 armed or cbg, what do you guys do?well can't speak for cbg but i have one track per cd, and no its not to look cool ejecting cd's all the time.....its because anymore than that and it becomes a risk. say you have 5 songs on a cd, imagine that cd fucks up at a gig, well thats 5 songs gone that you could have used where as if its 1 song well its no big deal.If you have the money and time i suggest one song per cd and label them with a cd labeler and put what you want on the label eg. bpm, key etc... obviously you want the track name and artist hehe.But with all the new gear coming out now i tend to use usb sticks more and more on the cdj's. And i will always have 2 with me so if one fucks up (extremely rare) you have another. so 2 usb sticks instead of a few hundred cd's, kinder on the pocket too haha.

mattus123 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 cd's screwing up isnt HEAPS likely thou is it?if i were to put about 5 on a cd, that'd be acceptable yea? (i think ive got too many tracks (12) on my current cds)also in relation to that video, buuren has the key written on the cdim assuming throughout the set he would change keys, so not every transition would be in key ey?

djarmed Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 just do what you think is best. what you're comfortable with.As for keys, what genre are you mixing? Trance sounds much much better if mixed in key, in fact most genres do. But its just more noticeable in trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 my question is where do you find a giant CD wallet to hold all the CD's?i meen 100 songs isnt much, but 100 CD's is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattus123 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 yea i definitely know mixing in key sounds betterbut at some point throughout the set you would have to change keys wouldnt u?or would u jsut have to have that many songs in the same key, that you wouldnt need to change keys?

Ravni Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 i got slappa and udj, i like the UDJ cause its on a sling and holds a shit load, but id lean to a slappa case and just buy a shit load of inserts so when you gig u take the inserts you want and slide them into the case. That way u limit what you take particularly if you dj different styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
