I'm not planning to nip out to the late shop and let virtual DJ do the work :joe: but I would like to be able to have a rest during the buffet and let Virtual DJ trawl through an easy listening playlist, while the guests digest their quiche and garlic bread. Has anyone managed to do this successfully? Setting fade time to zero sounds horrible, as track A completely fades before track B starts. With fade time set at 0.2, Virtual DJ appears to fade track A earlier, but chops the beginning of track B off!. I can't disengage the crossfader - tried various settings in the config menu. Also, a

Yes! This is so funny! I remember when I started, I didn't know what to say so I copied other DJs, and the basic text was: "well there you go, the sound of [artist] and [title]". The radio work knocked it out of me because I used to listen back to tapes and cringe. Its the same all over the country too. Well there you go ... ... and I really wanted some leather pants, and a mullet with highlights too.

Like many people on here, I try and remain balanced and guage the crowd.

I'd feel as though I'd short changed someone if I didn't speak (unless of course that was what they wanted). However, I love it when the party is in full swing and I can concentrate on the music.

I mainly worked in the Manchester area, starting when I was 13 years old, helping at my local hospital radio station and with a bit of involvment with the then NWDJA. Over the last few years, I have worked more in broadcasting - doing instore-radio in the North East, AA Roadwatch, Piccadilly Key103 in Manchester, Radio Stoke and UCB and Cross Rhythms on satellite. This included lots of live work, so although I've not had my own disco to take out, I've used some nice e

That sounds like nightmare gig - don't let it get you down though, it sounds like you did absolutely evrything you could. I had two incidents in the past. One was an aggressive drunk who was insisting on me playing some :cense:king Will Downing or else he would beat me up. I had to get the landlord to have him removed. The other was an 18th. The dog muck on the stairs on the way up should have been a warning! When I got on stage and set up, I realised the majority of the birthday party attendees were a mixture of mods and skinheads. When I played what they wanted - they started laying into eac
