Guys, Sorry to be a pain but I am running a very early version of VDJ and would like to run the software via my external mixer. The question I have is when I access the CONFIG button in the VDJ, I don't know which set up to choose, I run the software via a DJIO soundcard at present which works well, but wanted to get a bit more control by using a mixer. There are plenty of Youtube tutorials if running the newest version of VDJ but not for the early version I have (I think mine is 3.5) Any suggestions please? :wall:

Thanks very much mate, it is nice to have a simple answer to a question rather than the usual scratching of the heads which is what I normally get. :Thumbup:

Hi Guys, I have just purchased a Cortex HDC3000 Media Music Player, Numark 200FX Mixer, Numark DJIO Audio Interface Soundcard, KAM KXR 1000 Amplifier and 2 Pioneer CDJ 500S Players. The problem is I don't know how to connect all these together with my KAM speakers which have a speakon output. Can someone please explain how I get all this to work, PLEASE!!!!!!!!! :wall: :sad:

Hi guys, Probably the wrong thread so apologies, but if anyone out there is using the Cortex HDC 1000 can they please enlighten me as to what size rack mount is. I have been told it fits a 3U but after measuring my existing CD controller on my Kamcase which is where I want to place it and looking at the HDC on various internet pages I think the HDC 1000 is actually 2U. Can anybody put me out of my misery!!! :wall:

Hi all, I have been asked to put on a fundraiser disco on April 23rd (St Georges Day) 2110 at a local hall for our Town Mayoress. She has stipulated that the audience is generally an older age group and she wants an English theme. As I have about 7 months to prepare has anybody got any ideas as to what I can do in the respect of music, effects etc... Any help greatly appreciated. :wall:

Include the following and you will defo get them on the floor!! Red Light Spells Danger - Billy Ocean Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton Right Back Where We Started From - Maxine Knightingale Don't Take Away The Music - Tavares Regards Dave :good:

Hi all, If anyone knows of any gigs where the audience want to dance to this style of music, I will put on a great gig playing the best in great dance music from a great era. Fully mobile, fully insured and ready to work. Please PM me with any takers Cheers Dave smile icon

I find that if you get the girls up and dancing you cannot fail, the good old catchy 70's soul tunes Donna Summer, Barry White etc.. will always get them going. Save the ska and cheese till the end and the lads will get up there also. :joe:

Again what a ridiculous statement!! No DJ can guarantee a packed dance floor no matter how experienced you are. It depends on the atmosphere of the crowd and the DJ's ability to read them to get the dance floor moving. I have played for crowds who have really enjoyed being at the venue and danced pretty much straight away and I have played for crowds who really can't be bothered and would rather talk to friends all night. I have found that if you can get the girls up dancing the rest is generally easy because the blokes will like sheep follow suit. :cheers: Rapmeister

1. Band of Gold - Freda Payne 2. It's Raining Men - Weather girls 3. Valerie - Mark Ronson Feat Amy Winehouse 4. Build Me Up Buttercup - Foundations 5. Something Kinda Ooohh - Girls Aloud :dukesy:

Just a quick thanks to all on the forum that gave me advice for the gig I did on 26 June 2009. It was a terrific success and I have been rebooked. Cheers Rapmeister :funjokeandlaugh:

Well done buddy, :funjokeandlaugh: :msn-wink:

I played a family gig the other night and found Tavares "Don't take away the music " went down a treat for the first track after the buffet had finished. :pizza: :funjokeandlaugh:

Hi all, I am playing a gig to a youth football team on Friday night, the clientele are youngsters from between 12 and 15 years old and of course all the adults too. What music do I start the do off with? I am fine with all the fast dance floorfillers and cheese as the evening progresses but it is the start of the do I am struggling with. Do I go straight into a catchy number or do I start with a few slower songs? HELP!!! :hurt: :wall:

Rihanna - Please don't stop the music Duffy - Mercy Basshunter - Now your'e gone Amy Winehouse - Valerie For starters, these have always been asked for at functions I have done. :flex:

Hi, I had a gig last saturday night and everything was fine on the set up until I plugged my Numark DJ/IO soundcard into my laptop. I got a message saying "error with ASIO soundcard" when I tried to run my DJ software Virtual DJ. Now I have never had a problem before with this set up, however I had forgotton my USB 2 PCI hub which plugs into the laptop so used the USB 1 slot. Would this make a great deal of difference apart from making the soundcard run slower maybe? I rushed out and bought another USB 2 hub but to no avail, I still got the same error message can anyone advise ple

Thanks for the advice, A NOW album sounds a good idea, the band are a 6 peice all round style of music band so it won't really matter what background music is played and a maths course is in the pipeline so I can work out that I am playing for 3 hours not 4 thankyou Deejaymitch!! Regards

I am playing a 4 hour slot (1am to 4am) in my own Military Sergeant's Mess. The function organiser has requested I play (background) music between the live band sets. Bearing in mind I am actually attending the function as a guest as well, My question is what type of music do I play? Stars on 45 maybe? I want to run something that I don't have to keep getting up to change ideally any suggestions welcome. Thanks :ads:

Welcome Mate!! :welcome:

Hi there, If you want to see good Northern Soul dancing check out Duffy's "Mercy" video, brilliant and flames on the trousers as well - Priceless Rapmeister :hphone:

Hi there, Try the following tunes: No One Could Love You More - Gladys Knight Turning My Heartbeat Up - MVP's What - Judy Street Love Starved Heart of Mine - Marvin Gaye Send Him Back - Pointer Sisters Wonderful One - Marvin Gaye All top tunes for the dance floor!! :bouncy: Regards Hi there, A tune I play all the time at Northern do's is quite unusual to say the least but seems to work really well, it is Linda Lewis 1975 version of "Its in his kiss" a disco/funky cover of the "Shoop, Shoop Song" which was badly recovered by Cher in the 1990's.

Hi Jim, I am at present living in Portsmouth, Hampshire but will soon be moving to Harwich in Essex at the end of my Military Career. I am a long time Scooterist and member of the Armed Forces Scooter Club which boasts over 500 members worldwide! I have always been into Tamla, Northern & Ska, so started DJ'ing in Cyprus 3 years ago. I now try to play the local Scooter Rallies when I can get a slot and also regular gigs in and around Hampshire and Sussex. Regards :hurt:

Hi all, I am new to the site and currently a mobile Northern Soul/Motown DJ playing the Scooter Rally scene and the odd soul club when I can get in one!! Looking forward to batting a few ideas with you all in the very near future. Regards :dan+ju:
