I love gadgets, and have found them all to be prone to some form of problem - failure, data loss etc...
However, I have found one which is almost foolproof:

Wow thanks for all your feedback and advice! I think I have a long way to go yet before I can call myself a dj!
Marc I actually mix with the crossfader. I never realised I shouldn't, it just seemed easier for me in the first few discos I've done. Is that really bad then? What is the crossfader for then?
Thanks for the links too. I need to do my homework.
Crossfader is useful for some forms of mixing, and a pain in the butt for others.
You are in Surrey right? Why not go along to a few of our gigs with us? Marc and myself often work in Surrey, we could show you what we do and how we do it.

As some of you will know I'm very new to this djing business. I love music, but I'm a complete dunce when it comes to the technical side of things.
I have the Numark CDN 22Mk3 Twin CD Player and Numark DM1090 Mixer and there are slide volume controls. There is the master one and then 2 others for each channel. Should the master one be set differently to the other 2 if that makes sense? I can see the difference between using the 2 channels but when do you use the master one and is there a position that it should be set at to balance the other 2?
Does any of what I've asked make sense?? :stu:
Here you go llcooljoe, this should help.

The MU diary arrived a few months back, just in time to start filling it. It has a really useful layout.

Thanks for all the input on this thread, on this page is a pdf you can d/l which may be of use to you. It's the doc I put together for the seminar we delivered 2 weeks ago.
Enjoy!

It's OK, I found them!

I don't think you will be able to play the Sex Pistols - Friggin' in the rigging will you?

40th in Maidstone tonight, SEDA tomorrow night.

Red Bull usually - 1 or 2 cans max during my usual 6 hour club/bar gig every night.
Jon, please be careful with that stuff, it's not got a very healthy list of ingredients. I will resort to Red Bull only in extreme circumstances.
Did you know that eating an apple can wake you up better than a cup of coffee? I now carry apples for the way home!

No, I'm at work.

For the past 6 years Ive done mobiles which have been around the 400-500 mark for 10pm-2am (4hrs)
This year I'm doing a venue which provides me with work 3 nights a week all year round. I'm taking the "remember who pays you 52 weeks a year" stance and not charging as much as I usually would for NYE; but slightly more than the residency normally pays me, as it's more hours.
I'm happy, venue is happy so thats what I'll do. Its 3 minute drive from my apartment too and all kit is install.
What does everyone else think of this? Would you take the same approach as I have?
I think that's very good of you.
The venue I work on NYE can't justify my rate for their run of the mill stuff, but they are very happy to pay my rate for one of the most important dates in their diary. This date gets them a lot of work thoughout the year, so they push the boat out. If I was there often during the year, I would give them a workable discount.

Think Marcs gonna win this hands down
Uhh, ahh, yes I think you could be right there.....

I live in Horsham, Sussex, and I am working in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk with an overnight stay, and I am being paid well for the work. This is the 5th year running.... Before, I have worked in the new forest and Kent on NYE.

I was told that the L1 Model (I) and the L1 Model (II) were RoHS compliant.
I don't think the original L1 Model 1's were RoHS compliant.
-
I would have thought the non-RoHS L1 has to be discontinued and must be replaced by a RoHS version, we'll need to find out on Sunday.
-
Ah, that's a shame, I'm presenting a seminar at 2pm on Sunday.... See you at 3pm

How about pausing half way through the night to interview him live? You could ask him about HIS music policy! You could then direct any requests for other stuff to him :devil: :Thumbup:
Well he is your client, so you have to play what he allows!

Oooh, goodie! Another Pioneer / Denon debate!
My S5000s were playing CDs in seconds that Brians CDJ1000 Mk3s seemed to take ages to read....
Really? I have only had one problem with a vbr mp3 cd. To be fair Marc, I haven't loaded the latest fw yet on my CDJ1000mk3's.
Must do that...then you can try again.

Your Most Favourite Type Of Function...

It's a Denon poll - too many options
It's not the type of function I like ie wedding or 18th, it's what I have to do at the function.
