The DJ Booth - For all DJs on Facepunch (lets press sync n play) - General

[QUOTE=Wablur;40298647]Has anyone here done a silent disco before? I've just been booked to do a 2 & half hour at my uni bar for an 80's themed prom night.[/QUOTE] I did one at this event my dad put on. Was quite fun just playing well-known party shit for a change.

Welp, I seem to be getting a new e-mail every week from Soundcloud about copyright issues. I guess it's just all the more reason to use Mixcloud. Anyway, here's a dubstep mix wot I just went & did [url]http://www.mixcloud.com/Gorza/haute-sub-mix-220413/[/url]

Went round a mates and had a go on his Vinyl setup.. after a few beers I got confident enough to start using the third deck! I kept messing it up and losing the mix completely but he just said "Keep trying man, it'll click..." After two hours I was kinda getting it but i was burnt out... Went out flyering and then ended up at a house party with guess what.. Three decks!.. After uncounted beers and other party treats I stepped up at this house party and tried to spin x2 traktor vinyl and a CDJ.. MY GOD SO MUCH FUN! I'm never going back.. I even found a way to link up a third deck at home going into the soundcard on my computer with a seperate set of speakers (I only have a two channel mixer).. No headphone cue..no eq but it's great for practice! If you find yourself mixing on two decks and standing there thinking "Hmm..I feel like I should be doing something.." BUY A THIRD DECK!

Shouldn't there be more than a single rca? [editline]24th April 2013[/editline] Never mind, I can see LEDs lit up on it

Hi, Never posted here before since I didn't knew FP had a DJ thread. Anyway, Lately I've been working on a 3D uhmm... well I don't really have a name for it yet so just take a look at what is is below (All realtime btw not rendered) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCTpcpUfqWo[/media] Since I haven't really decided where I want to go with this project I wanted to ask you guys how much interest you would have in something like this where you can DJ and people could join in on you.

I want to get better at DJing and DJ in Second Life. I love Second Life clubs.

However if the server can translate a DMX or ArtNet stream into lighting commands for the client then the lighting technician in me will get a boner and a huge desire to help test it.

Can anybody help me with Traktor? I have a 128bpm song and a 110bpm one. I have the 110 playing, and I press the sync button on the 128 to make it 110. I then press play on the 128 (which is now 110) one and immediatly turn off sync. Now, I press sync on the original 110 track so it switches sync roles. So whenever i'll move the pitchbend of the 128 (now 110) one back to 128, it moves both at the same time. The problem is, i can't sync an already playing deck to the other playing deck. This shit sucks, it should be possible with same BPMs in both decks. I cannot fucking properly transition on beats then, i'll be stuck with other shitty methods. [editline]30th April 2013[/editline] what i mean is, the original 110 track that is already playing can't be synced to the same fucking 110 bpm that the 128 track now has. fml

[QUOTE=blah2;40477048]sync problems[/QUOTE] Use the BPM fader manually and adjust the phrasing using jogwheels/pitch bends. Beatmatching with readouts isn't nearly as hard as manual beatmatching - it should take you about one second to change the BPM fader and maybe 5-15 seconds to line them up perfectly, maybe less given that you have a phrase alignment above the waveform.

[QUOTE=TheHydra;39737176]what are some essential DJs to listen to? i'm really interested in turntablism and stuff like daft punk's "alive 2007" where they take multiple songs and make them into something new[/QUOTE] kid koala the greatest turntablist ever

[QUOTE=TheHydra;39737176]what are some essential DJs to listen to? i'm really interested in turntablism and stuff like daft punk's "alive 2007" where they take multiple songs and make them into something new[/QUOTE] Check out Boiler Room on youtube. They do live streams and recordings of a lot of good DJs so you can actually see how they perform their sets. My favourite's are Ta-ku's Los angeles set and Richie Hawtins one in Amsterdam, the latter actually helped introduce using Maschine into my sets as a step sequencer. Also check out the XLR8 podcast, they have some great mixes too.

Silent Disco was fucking awesome! [img_thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/107294/WP_20130510_001.jpg[/img_thumb]

I think I may buy a serato ddj-sx what do you guys think? I'm throwing down with my brother for it! Its about time I get some proper equipment for what I'm doing so if any of you guys had any experiences with this controller please let me know!

Sup DJ brothers, I'm thinking of buying a new pair of headphones, I'm thinking of buying the V Moda M100. What do you guys think of it? Also have a listen to my UK Dubstep mixtape because hating on Skrillex is the cool thing to do > [url]https://soundcloud.com/electropikal/electropikal-this-is-dubstep[/url]

Hey guys back again, played Lakota again last week to a room of 10 people... Though i just got a gig in holland at prime time of 00:00 - 00:45.. only 45 minutes but it's a good slot and theres only one room so it'll be RAMMMMEEEDD!! I've recently got back into producing.. roll up a speaker cone and stick it in your ear.. [url]https://soundcloud.com/zafrole[/url] Listen to Bring it down and Until The End

been casually DJing at home, making short mixes and whatnot for a couple years now, but finally got my first gig in a couple weeks time... at a high school prom :| any tips for a first gig?

Just focus on smooth transitions! set up your playlist before hand and practice transitioning from one song to another sprinkle some effects where appropriate and there you have it! Ask around to see what songs people want to hear so you can have them readily available to you. When you transition to a slow song for slow dancing tell everyone you're doing it over the PA while you transition to the song because your voice will distract while you can put on a lower tempo song. I did this for a highschool dance once from only a mixer and virtual dj on a laptop and it went pretty well!

I find my S4 annoying to carry around, I couldn't imagine lugging that thing to gigs unless I had a car or something.

Just finished another tune [url]https://soundcloud.com/zafrole/bring-it-down-zafrole-remix[/url]

I'm gonna play with it and throw a mini get together with some of my friends so they can play on it to see if they wanna get one themselves.

I got my main account back! Have a new track and a photo dump! (REDLINE) The nexus 2000's are beautiful.

So a mate convinced me to go back to using Soundcloud as Mixcloud forces people to sign up to listen to mixes. I haven't had any problems with copyright since, safe to say the Soundcloud copyright system is bipolar? Anyway here's my latest mix. Some Future Bass/House/Dubstep/Whatever [url]https://soundcloud.com/gorza/future-bass-delight[/url]

Did a quick Grime mix, trying to get used to doing faster cuts/fades. [url]https://soundcloud.com/gorza/bootleg-beatdown[/url] Also I managed to fit both of my turntables and my S4 on my tiny desk and hook it all up to my computer but the turntables are really quiet so I have to pump the gains way up, is there a fix to this or is it normal?
