Hello All! It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I'd check in again. Have been out of the industry for 2 or so years, got fed up with doing weddings and kissing promoters asses to get the smallest of club gigs. I brought some new equipment to try doing it as a passion, but I was just so burnt out at that point that I just couldn't enjoy mixing anymore. Fast forward 2 years and here we are, those 900's I brought are still untouched but I can't bring myself to sell them. So I'm having one last crack at revitalizing my desire to DJ. As a side note, I also do photography for a local radio station for their events. No cash for em only drink cards, but that's how I want it to there is no pressure if I fuck up. Currently my goals are the following: Move my Rekordbox library to my Surface Pro which I take to work everyday to find songs on my train ride home. Submit a Mini mix to my local radio station. Do some Twitch streams of me DJ'ing on Friday nights with some beers in hand. Short of this not happening, I will sell my decks and put it to bed. Can't bring myself to sell my PA or Sub though!

Bargain brah

Mad mic! I've got one myself.

ADL wedding scene is fairly competitive. But there is quite abit of work in July and November especially.

Yeah those crane stands are epic. Alota money though.

"Used MDF wood, 5 cans of spray paint, material from spotlight & bathroom door lift away hinges. " Used diagonal corners and metal corner bracers. Cut all the wood, brace and glue it together, prime it all and paint. Then drill the holes and put in the hinges.

I generally do my transitions over 3 phrases. 1st Phrase: Bring in 2nd song at 50% bass on the EQ 2nd Phrase: Swap Bass EQ's so 2nd song is now on 100% and 1st song is at 50% in one motion. 3rd Phrase: Bring 1st song out.

Mother & Me built a Facade over the last two weekends. Probably ended up costing about $200 in materials. Used MDF wood, 5 cans of spray paint, material from spotlight & bathroom door lift away hinges. Overall looks pretty good, but I'd say if you have the money and don't have much time on your hands just buy one instead.

The search in win10 shits me to tears. I swear 7 wasn't as bad as this.

For me it comes down to budget, The 15" macbook pro is a beast but last time I looked it was like $3k. The XPS is abit lighter on the wallet but is still a awesome machine though, Doesn't feel like a 15" laptop to hold too. I think the 15' macbook pro is a good choice as long as your okay with using adapters for ethernet and such. It really comes down to budget though.

I have the same issues, been playing for 3 years. The key here is experience, the more you do it, the less big of a deal it becomes.

The SB is a nice piece of kit, longer pitch faders would be nice but that like is very well built (I have the DDJ-SX)

You can pick up ddj t1's and s1's real cheap these days

I hired the QSC the other week and that thing pumped. I will deffs get one as soon as tax return comes back.

Thats why at weddings I have an ipad with a special stand etc so it looks official.
