Hi What style of music are you into? Melb (well, any really) scene is all about who you know, networking, building relationships. Then when you get a shot you gotta back it up with skill. There's an overflow of talent at the moment. Good luck

-Update to the latest software -The Shift button is your friend -Just try learn some of the features well to start out with, then expand, so you don't get overwhelmed and forget stuff. Then once you've got a grip on it, delve into some more. if you want to use Traktor, I wouldn't waste your time trying to create your own mapping when everyone else has already done it for you (unless you enjoy going through pain to get to the exact same result as everyone else who went down that path) https://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingone.aspx?id=5

Hi if you want someone to check out a specific track of yours, find the genre within the music forum https://www.ausdjforums.com/forum/40-the-music/ and make a thread

hi

Here are the pioneer controllers https://www.storedj.com.au/dj-equipment/dj-controllers?FilterFeature=ProductFeatureNames.Name:eq:Brand,Value:eq:Pioneer&PageProduct=1 they do have some budget stuff, but it's obviously a different feel to the club stuff. Additionally, if you want to incorporate the live stuff, you'll need a 4 channel deck, as 2 will be for mixing tunes and you need a third for your samples/imrprov/live/whatever. Your laptop will be good enough for specs fine as long as it's not full of other junk making it slow/unstable.

+1 for above. Laptop needs to be super stable. Dedicated DJ laptop if you can.

You can take controllers to a lot of clubs these days. There's a few problems with it: -people get in and start playing with cords on the back of the mixer without necessarily knowing what they're doing. Next minute, static and/or no sound = not a good look -sometimes there's limited space in the booth, not leaving much room for a controller and laptop -some people with controllers simply don't know how to beat match properly, meaning they can't mix into the DJ before them If you're wanting to market yourself as a hybrid DJ/live thing then you'd just need to make that clear, and let the venue manager know that you'll need space to setup all your stuff. Given all the above, if you want to get into clubs you need to know the pioneer equipment, which is why i recommend one of the pioneer controllers (you can even get ones that run without a laptop, with tunes on USB). Then possibly look at a separate USB controller with the sample pads to integrate in.

Was good

awesome, will give it a whirl tomorrow

If they're typical wedding tracks, just put them in a playlist and mix them live? Then if they change their mind on the order, no time wasted. If they're requesting common songs that get played at weddings all the time, you should probably already have them, and that's on you. If they're requesting obscure stuff that will take time to download and add to your collection and you'll never use it again, make that clear to them and say you can spend up to x time (whatever time you're prepared to spend for free catering to their needs), then after that charge for your time. Nothing comes free. As for recording premixes, that isn't in the job description, and should be made clear. Just mix it together on the night.

Only just started watching, but looks dope

Took the recorder with me on Sat, and this is what I came back with (after I did a duz originally, leaving it there like an idiot). Enjoy

I've only seen the 1 pop up on there which was the one by @newtz80, over a year ago and you've already seen the post. They're not an easy find!

updated thread title to indicate sold

I suggest posting a location

If you're trying to sign the track and sell it the label may question it. If you're just starting out best bet is just upload to soundcloud as a freebie and you'll likely not have any trouble with it. But as scottie said, @LabRat is best one to answer this.

@Gradagon rep the man if he was helpful

Jealous!

Anditz has been killing it. I'm going to nominate @Kodiak for his photography stuff

@Gandy where you been m8?

2 horse race! I think oxy's got this one again
