ill_spector Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 nice, how are you finding mixing on cdj's so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 slowing getting quicker with the beatmatching, occasionally i get a song that 1 sec it will say 129BPM and im trying to beatmatch then changes and will say 125BPM then change back as if the CDJ cant make up its mind...bit confusing at times but yeh still having fun with it and im finding the Sound Quality and volume coming from the DJM400 to my amp n speakers is better then the Hercules RMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 ignore the counters man they are nothing more than an estimate. be it in traktor or on the cdj's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yeh I kinda guessed that so I've just been using them as a rough estimate and finding the right temp, I'd say on average it's still taking me 30 secs to a min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 just one thing Djazis the smoke machine a new purchase ?because if you look around at 98% of venues they have banned thembecause they set off the fire alarmsthats why I sold mine off years agoand dont even use bubble machinesjust the way venues are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yeh they do set of smoke alarms, forgot about mine last night when I had it all going and had them going offyeh I'm sure most clubs n stuff wouldn't use them but the teenagers at party's are happy to take there smoke alarms off for a couple of hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SourceRaver Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Put glad wrap over the fire detectors...but make it so bloody obvious that someone remembers to pull it off at the end of the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 at my 1st gig a couple of weeks ago we took them down but forgot about 1 and it was going off for half an hour before a quieter song came on and people heard it over the musicso even if they were up and there was a fire i guess we are fucked anyway lolGood idea Actually Source, but seems to be more work then just a twist to the left and its off the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 it may depend on how thick your smoke is as well, i make my own and when i make it light it wont set them off but once i make it heavy it doesdifferent densities in the air i guess...

DjDennis Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 and it all depends on the venue as wellif they have in thier operation manual that smoke machines are not permitted then you cant convince them to allow you to use oneits what that said venue has rules foryou can argue all you like but if a vanue or venues say no smoke machines allowed period then thats what happenslocal governments have also got rules in for the use of smoke machines at public halls etc so best to check it out before use - dont care then neither do I when youre finedhave a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Venues dont want to pay 1500.00 for a false alarm and a fire brigade attendance with a monitored fire alarm panel.Usually two appliances arrive ,one to save life and another to save property.
