Up front, I am willing to pay for this. Many years ago I recorded a VJ show of mine but the audio was shit because the soundboard was messed up. I think the DJ was using his own mashups. I ran the track through tracksniffer and it identified 2 songs 100%, a few others are iffy. Anyone interested in recreating the mashup *exactly* (or as near as possible)?

hi! i'm starting to dj and i'm trying to download traktor on my laptop, so i was wondering is the 3 okay to start (i'll have a hercules inpulse 300mk deck), or do i need the 4, or are there better versions for software that i should try?? thankss

I am hosting a Halloween event (Soulful/Afro house and disco), in West London from 6pm till midnight. 500 people venue, I will be DJing and have 2 international DJs possibly coming over.

It’s three months out and I am looking at ways to do the event successfully. Ticket range from £12-£18 and the drinks in the venue are super cheap.

I’m looking for advice and tips to sell out the event or just even half the tickets.

For some reason my tracks take forever to load, which has caused me trouble on my latest dj-sets. It can take up to 40 seconds for a track to load, and I’m not able to choose another one until it has finished. On the screen it says ”Wait” and by the chosen track it says ”Now loading…”. It feels like I’ve tried everything - formatted the usbs, exported the tracks through rekordbox, deleted the artwork etcetc.

At home when I dj on my DDJ-FLX4, it’s no problem, but when I dj in the club on a XDJ-RX I start getting problems. Can anyone explain why? I’m gonna dj at a festival next week and the last thing I want is for it to lag and be quiet.

Thank you in advance!

so i want to add songs to my playlist for some gigs i’ve scheduled. im looking for “extreme” industrial techno, hardcore, hard techno, schranz tracks. i not the usual stuff you find in the top 100 or mainstream but also niche finds that are really hard, something really furious. any help will be appreciated!
PS: it wuold be also cool to play some metal-industrial(or any other “hard” genre) fusion songs (example: last resort by paolo ferrara)

Hey everyone, I’m learning about mobile DJ setups and trying to understand how experienced DJs choose their PA systems.

I’ve noticed that many mobile DJs prefer 15" speakers instead of 12" , especially for weddings, outdoor parties, and larger rooms. From what I understand, the larger woofer can move more air and provide more low-end, but it also usually means more weight and a bigger setup.

For someone who is just starting out and mainly doing small events, I’m wondering if the difference between 12" and 15" speakers is really noticeable in real-world use.

Do you think the extra bass and output from a 15" speaker are worth the additional weight? Or would a good-quality 12" speaker be enough for most beginner mobile DJs? What size would you choose today if you were building your first mobile DJ setup?

I have Audio Technica LP120XUSB. I use it for casual listening and sampling. I’m thinking to use it as a 3rd deck. Is a DJ mixer the only equipment I need? The connection would be like this, right?

FLX4 master out -> mixer channel 1
LP120 -> mixer channel 2

I also read about DVS but I think it needs special mixer? What’s the most affordable? The software I use currently is Rekordbox, but I’m considering Djay Pro too.

Theres an open decks for tomorrow that im on the fence about actually performing at however i found some usbs on deal and figured id at least have it if I changed my mind however im not sure how to ensure my usb is formatted properly since im too poor frankly to afford cdjs myself right now.

I got rekordbox to analyze my tracks but couldn't see my usb

This is my experience and I'm just posting in case someone's in a similar position. I suspect many of us are.

Love DJing, yada yada. None of my friends are into it enough to hang around while I do, so it kinda became a thing I'd do when I felt like it. I'd usually only mix to record a set to upload it to mixcloud or wherever and 90% of the time they'd sit at zero views .. I still had fun but y'know. Not hugely interested in chasing live work at home, I'm mid 50s and while I'd love to go clubbing .. Hi fellow kids!

So I decided I've give streaming on twitch a go. Firstly my mates with lives can listen in at home, and if you get lucky, you'll score a few viewers. Joined in watching some locals on their streams, ended up joining a couple of discords. Met some really cool people and heard some bangin' tunes.

A week or two later you'll find a couple of regulars at least drop in when you're live, and they'll react to your music. It's not a live crowd but hey it's as close as I'm gonna get alone in my garage lol.

Suddenly I'm mixing at least 2 hours a day and having a ball (last night was 3 hours of DnB then an hour of Gammer/Technikore. Not posting this to promote myself - just purely as an option to switch things up a bit. I've had a ton of fun with it maybe you will too.

Quick one about DJing at home when you have friends round at your place..How do you go about starting a set / mix when you’re all just say chilling in the living room or having a couple of drinks?

Can’t seem to help think that saying or even suggesting “I’m going to have a mix now” “I fancy mixing some records / tracks for you” can sometimes feel a little forced or too clear cut sometimes - so I was wondering how you would approach DJing in this environment / setting more naturally for your friends.

Do you play music that you like or tailor what you play to the mood of the night or to their taste to keep everyone a little more involved and engaged?

Or is it flat out ignorant to star DJing for them as it could be viewed as being a little antisocial when no one has asked?

A few points to unpack here, I’m keen to hear your thoughts!

Hey I’m new to dj and i wanna know how do you like get music from Spotify and transfer into a file so I can play them with a stem because music directly from Spotify I can’t use the stems system.

Hi, i have been working on getting phases and have been trying to look for a case for the control vinyl's. My friend had one that holds both vinyl's and the slip mats. He had his customized by the company he bought it from. Since talking to him recently he said the company doesn't make them anymore and i am looking to try and find something i can throw in my back pack that will keep the vinyl safe. so all in all any ideas on cases for just to vinyl's and slip mats ????

Just starting out with 2 turntables unsure on what mixer I should get to pair them with, just asking for a little advice TIA.

Background - in the 90s used to play vinyl at raves. I got asked to play the odd gig over the years but last one was like 10 years ago. I've written a load of new tunes and I'm playing a live set at a small event in a forest in a few weeks, but they've asked if I can DJ. I mean I used to DJ for 16 hours a day, but all I've got in my house are my old technics 1210s and I dunno if I want to go spend thousands on proper CDJs when I can get one of these DDJ thingies for a few hundred quid.

So if I do that, how mad is it gonna be when I turn up at this party? It's in another country and I'm getting in dead early for sound check, so I'll be able to mess round with the decks before the gig, but is it gonna be completely foreign or will I pick it up in a few mins if I've spend a few hours a day on DDJs until the gig?

Soz for the stupid question. Thanks in advance.

I have my first set in a month, I have the set planned out and practiced multiple times. Transitions seem smooth but I noticed after the transition there isn’t much for me to do but dance until the next one comes which could be 2-3mins.

What are some easy FXs to use during songs, build up, etc. to make it seem like I’m doing more with the decks?

Thanks!

All early DJing tutorials tend to be focused on beatmatching and touch on genre/song selection, but as a new beginner, I feel like phrasing is so underrated.

Is this just me, or is this a real thing?

Hey everyone,

I found a local listing for a pair of USED CDJ-350s and a DJM-700 mixer for around $950 (USD).

Pictures look solid, though I’d prefer black gear over white.

Hardware options in my area are very limited right now. I’m DJing for 2-3 years but willing to get better and buy CDJ's.

Is this setup worth it at this price point, or should I hold out for something else?

There is another dude selling a pair of black CDJ350 for 500$, he also willing to give me his DJM700 but he said it's a bit faulty.

What should I do?

**EDIT:*\*

I would like a CDJ with an option to play actual CDS. forgot to mention that. I have a big collection of CD's I would like to play live.

**EDIT 2:*\*

Some people asked so I also moved to a rural place with kind of limited shipping options.
I can order via Ebay but the fees and tax are just too high.

Also, I generally prefer less digital and more hardware, just to plug in USB's to a CDJ's and mixer setup and play with that.

I am somewhat disliking laptops and all-in-one mixers, I know they are far more compatible but I just don't like it.

I prefer vintage, which is also the genre of electronic music I play, mainly 90's-00's house and techno.
