  1. Where do I get them!? Im trying to make my setup look cleaner, more professional, and these would greatly help!
  2. Went to a meeting with the bride and groom for a wedding im doing for them They want me to play from 7 till 10, so I quoted them $350, which seemed like a fair rate ($100 an hour, + 50 setup fee) Later they told me that someone else quoted $700 Am I undercutting, my rates seemed fair for this, or was the other guy over charging?
  3. Hey guys! I am going to register the domain in august when it expires, but im thinking of putting in a back order to ensure that I get it (I should get it anyway, seeing as the owners aren't using it, but just in case!)Can someone please help explain this to me, or suggest a better service to do it perhaps? http://www.godaddy.com/domainaddon/doma ... px?ci=9001 I take it you pay $20 and you automatically go into the bidding for that domain, then if you win, they give you your first years registration in the $20 fee you paid earlier? Thanks kris
  4. This is the same case with my 400 jack, I have to wiggle it abit sometimes. Also it keeps unscrewing itself and trying to fall back into the shell.
  5. Mixing in the double red makes Jesus cry Mixing in the triple red makes him explode
  6. Pre mixing means you wont be able to do requests, which we generally get alot of as mobile DJ'S. I'd just be a cross fader jockey if you can't mix it. They won't know the difference. Just a tip, bring your usual top 40 stuff too, as she will also probably request it. Good luck! by Tapatalk using Xperia Play
  7. THIS For an extra $0 to $200 you can get 900's, which have far more features. You could even get 850's for even cheaper than that, and 800's again even cheaper if you want a large platter. A benefit of second hand equipment (Especially pioneer) is that it holds it's value REALLY well, (E.g. cdj 1000 mk3's) So that way if you decide you don't like it, at the most you might loose $100 when selling it all off again. As for audio quality, 320kbs mp3 is fine, and sounds good on a club system. You could always try and step up to the higher quality's to give yourself an edge over the competition in some way. Use AIFF instead of wave though, as it is the same quality and allows you to store ID3 tags such as names, artists and cover art. I would also have to recommend you get a program called mixed in key, I can honestly say that it has made me a better dj, and made it alot funner by taking out the trial and error of track selection. Good luck in your choice man! (P.s. second hand 850's are amazing value for money if you get a pair in good nick second hand) Edit: Just saw your bit about a mixer, the djm 400's and 350's are very nice, The only two main effect you need to have IMO is a manual filter and a echo. Manual filter is amazing at letting you get really smooth fade out's for transitions, however this only seems to be standard on the djm 700+ mixers, (Except the djm 250, but that doesn't have echo, you could always sacrifice it) One option is just to get your nice cdj's then get a cheapie newmark mixer, and save 1k for a djm 800, which are AMAZING mixers, and have everything you could possibly want.
  8. some of the fresh fm hosts seem to play there own bootlegs all the time. So im not sure what to say
  9. As long as it's cash in hand your fine
  10. People are going to go for the blue ones though, especially if there cheaper :/
  11. Hopefully 2.5 isn't as much of a bombshell as 2.1.3
  12. Hey guys, Payment just cleared for mixed in key, and it's safe to say I love it. However recently I just changed the settings so it overides the old comments with the new key, but it hasn't come though? Do I have to re analyse the songs or something? :/
  13. You can get a disclaimer form and just say it's a hobby (which it usually is) That's how I do mine (Edit: Sorry, I can't remember what the exact name of the form is :/)
  14. Id like to bring your attention to this video: Yes he mentions unique squared alot, but when he says (He brought) he means, they gave him all his gear. there one of his sponsors Look for the bit with the apc 8
  15. The t1's are such nice controllers :3
  16. Hey guys, So whenever im playing a gig for older people (35+ yo's) I never seem to be taken seriously, they always seem to think Im just some kid with fancy equipment, not a business owner. They ALWAYS try and get behind the booth to talk to me, and have a very condescending tone of voice. I always make sure to dress appropriately, be professional, have business cards blablabla. But they still never take me seriously. Any advice?
  17. I have seen those before, they look amazing I wish my sennys had a generic detachable cable like that :/
  18. Anything by deadmau5, that's how I learnt. His songs always have a strong kick, so it makes it easier when beatmatching
  19. Raises hand the "That's what makes you beautiful" one was requested a bunch of times at my last 18th So I eventually caved in and agreed to play it.
  20. I voted for deep house
  21. Electro House
  22. Oh wow! so he was scamming you. At least you can get your gear back now D: post the link foe so we can help you get your gear/a refund
  23. Bet you $10 it won't sell If it does, the buyer is an idiot
