Burning cd's

[SolDios]

Hey guys, im going to start burning cd's of music soon to eliminate need of a laptop.

How should I burn them so they are comparable with all cdj's?

Just burn them as an audio cd so even a $2 Walkman can read them?

I know this can be solved by Google, but I just want to be sure before I burn heaps of cd's and realize they don't work.

You Answered your own question.

Just standard audio CD on a slowish speed with text display.

Burn multiple copies if you're going to put a heap of songs on them, and don't throw them around when you're off your dick like I am.

In simple words, look after them

[SolDios]

Yeh, I don't want to risk them getting damaged and skipping mid track O_O

make a playlist in iTunes and burn it from there (if you're using iTunes). piss as

^ yep,

one tip: burn two copies of everything: that way if you are playing a track from a disc and want another track from that disc you have a second copy so can do so.

I actually put whole genres into itunes playlists, sort by the bpm column, burn across multiple cds making a note of which tracks ended up on which cd, then print entire tracklist using itunes own custom print (so i can have bpm and my own comments printed out too) then I cut up the print out to match to each disc.

Thats a pretty good method

I think il just do it like this though:

1 track + its remixes per cd

cd's stored in alphabetical order

Print tracklists out and colour code with highlighters.

Electro: Green

Tech House: Yellow

Prog: Blue

etc

[SolDios]

Wont highlighters smudge on cd's?

there is only one pen, it writes on clouds

Print the lists on paper, insert into CD wallet, then highlight.

just a quick Q' wouldnt you rather have your laptop as main source. and then cd's as backup? saves burning ALL of your songs.. instead burn all the main dance songs and must haves?

[Mitch]

na he doesn't wanna use a laptop coz people will apparently think he is a poser lol

[Buck_Choi]

if so tell them to eat one! but fair enough.

I had the same problem, burning cd's not poser, went out and bought the s4. Problem solved.

[eggssell]

oh man cant look like a poser!!!

especially since being a DJ is all about the image. how else do you get all the grrls or boys.

number one priority is how you look, everything else is irrelevant.
