OK that's done it my home printer which prints Cds has packed up. Anyone know of good cheap brands out there? I'm looking for colour photo and CD printer with seperate ink cart which are cheaper to replace. Cheers

Hi Well thats just, it not nearly enough to justify getting pro-dub. I think it's just because I find it much easier to work with CD's so the bottom line is I will have to get my vynil skills up to sratch and be cone with it. You have a good point perhaps I can get used CD's for the vynil I have, but if not I will have to up my practice on the decks

Doh! wasn't thinking of course can mix with mp3 players forgot. when I was getting my kit was actually contemplating on them, should have chosen a DJ CD and Mp3 player at the time. Ah well will wait for a used bargain

Thanks very much for all the info sorry about the double posts trigger happy. I suppose the only negative with a sd or Usb player is I would not be able to mix on the fly, perhaps I should look into buying a dj mp3 player as a longterm addition to my set-up maybe secondhand? Any known good makes out there. I mainly wanted to upgrade my vynil though so perhaps there is no way I can get out of buying the dub license.

thanks for that if i use mastermix whom say all money goes to the artist and is ppl covered do I still need to get a Pro-dub license if I put the mp3's onto disc as audio playable? or if I have a dj cd player which plays Mp3's would that save me the license? Whats the score on using Legal compilation like Now can I use them for a gig? The thing is at the mo I don't realy have enough music by far that I want to convert to cd so £250 is a lot given my situation. I know pro-dub is considering lowering the pricing structure but that hasen't happened yet Thanks

Hi Most of the sites under terms restrict usage for djaying even the ones whom are named DJ.....music sites. Where can I get Mp3's from? Looking at some of my CD's they state no performance like the Now collections so can I not use them? Where do you guys get your music from? I'm looking to get a load more music and considering mp3 site would enable me to only buy what I like from an album saving loads Cheers

Hi Long time since I have been on this forum. Last wedding I did, I had a chap come up afterwards asking me how he could start being a DJ in clubs. He was in his mid 40’s said he had not done it before but reckoned he has the skills and was finding it hard to brake in, I took his number and promised to get back with info. This is not my thing but does anyone know of agencies, places that would take him on? Cheers

I'm competent at being incompetent. Joking aside I need to get the cert. Thanks for the offer.

LOL! Thinking of learning electrics so I can do it myself :ads: Will check it out Cheers

Darn CD Trustee I have logged all of my music on this thing, only to find out the following. I want to be able to print of a report say…a set list. For this I selected tracks using the Play list menu then printed it off. Though have found it does not display the slot location, useless. Now there is a ‘Note’ area on the print off that could accommodate a slot entry, which is found in the track tab window ‘Note Input’, though I would have to input every tracks respective slot for it to display. That’s thousands times an average of 18 tracks per CD, No WAY! Anyone know a wa

Hi Anyone know of a reliable PAT tester, whom will come out to test without charging the earth in BLACKPOOL? Cheers

Now I have a dilemma. I have designed a web page in flash. Floated it to check alls ok. But a problem has occurred. If the page is opened by direct address….djwebpage.co.uk alls fine, but if you open it using the link given by a google search it opens really small you can’t read the text and it useless. I noticed in direct address opening there is no suffix i.e. djwebpage.co.uk But opened with google it reads djwebpage.co.uk/index.swf Now If I remove the suffix from the title bar it opens up alright again. That’s no good for web surfers. Oh woe is me it’s taken such a long

Oh well, there is nothing for it. Can't get round luggin it all upstairs to my PC. I must be lazy That's def on my birthday list!

Now then Chaps and Chapesses Am just about to plug one of my decks into my PC so I can tinker with some vinyl. What can I attach the deck earthing lead to. You know the u shaped lead that normally connect up to the purpose screw fixing on the amp/ Mixer desk? Cheers me dears :joe:

Is it me but is Traktor 3 not all it is made up to be. I’ve been tri-ling it and wander what all the fuss is about. What great things have you done with it and what gives it it’s reputation? What are the features? The talk function doesn’t seem to superimpose my voice. There is a interesting feature ( On Air ) Button what is that used for? What’s the best laptop spec soundcard you would recommend? As you can see I no not a bean about it.

Hi Tinkered with Audacity. I love the simplicity of it and so very user friendly. Particularly the fact that the audio is visually layered as tracks and can be move around, making it so easy. Been thinking though. I remember a friend of mine swarming on about Cubasis and wandering if to invest in that for long term use. What are the benefits / features? And is it visually simple to use like Audacity. I vaguely remember there were a load of small rectangles representing tracks looking very complicated, or was it me hallucinating as it was 4 in the morning?

Thank you that's just the ticket Cheers

Hi Help!!!! Does anyone know of good multi track recording software. What I want to do for example is Track 1 Record my voice Track 2 Record music Track 3 Record jingles etc….and so on I need it to be fully editable and finally, be able to save all 3 tracks as a single MP3 or wave file. What good software is out there and what’s it called? Cheers

Hi Thinking of hooking up to Beatport music downloads. They say trax downloaded can be used and burt to CD for DJ use. Would I still need a license even with all my receipts?

Hello people. So having recovered from the dmx crash course of my last topic un-teetered I am a glutton for punishment and with the great help I got it has prompted another dmx question. I have finally got my impressive dmx laser. It’s great really bright I was having a whale of a time flapping my hand around in the time tunnel in my living room on first practice. Who needs raves anyway? Though it does not have a specific dmx channel to pan, tilt or point any of its affect using the joystick of my chauvet dmx 50. Is it possible to get the laser to perform the inbuilt affect

ARRRGH!!!! Well I think trial and error approach a lot of wishing I stuck to sound and light and the ultimate decision to dump a load of candle on my clients table at gigs and say heres your lighting bud. So long as I can program and affect each light I have independently I dont mind what amount of channels I have it set to. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/alcoholic.gif

QUOTE (EdBray @ Jul 23 2006, 02:43 PM) Hi, I have the Stairville DMX master 1 which is the same as the Chauvet DMX 50. I do not understand what you are trying to achieve. How many light units do you have? Are they all identical 4 channel units? How do you set their DIP switches? Do you run the units individually, or do you have them linked? I do not understand your question re converting your controller to 8 channel operation, just do not push the page select button and you will only have 8 channel operation. I would be surprised if you can find any individual light un

Hello Have the supreme……. chauvet dmx 50 light controller. Now having a whole 16 channels per fixture is very opulent considering my units at present use a grand total of 4 channels each. How easy is it to set the dmx 50 to 8 channel operation [per fixture? Has anyone got a quick explanation. I’m not impressed with the instructions that came with the dmx 50. Thanks http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/sterb188.gif

This unit has what appears to be aprox 30 squares of different colours. http://highlite.omc.net/index.php/highlite...ts/lighteffects Just wander if anyone has one and what are they like. Will look up the lights you mentioned thanks

Hi So having got some spin masters 1’s and laser I was wanting to get two colour changers. Spotted the Showtec Fascinator and wondered if that would make a handy option in the colour changing department? Its dmx, has it only got one channel? Has anyone got one and what are its capabilities what can it do? Is each of the individual lights programmable? Looking at showtecs spec page I am assuming not as it uses two bulbs and looks relatively simple in its casing. What is the opinion of these lights? Thanks
