You’d be better off doing it online as $2300au is expensive and most people who go to the wedding expo are really look at designers,paper supplies,flowers and cakes. Entertainment tends to be easier to find online for weddings
You could spend a lot less onlineCheers
Dustin (fellow Aussie)DustinParticipantFree advertising though..
I make him pay a fee Terry.Jokes guys
Dusting
DustinParticipantWelcome Colin
I have a cheap numark mixtrak I don’t have the sound card needed for it for headphones. It’s pretty much unused, I’d be willing to donate it to you if I can find it.. It’s in storage. I’m in Melbourne if you’re interested mate.
Cheers
DustinDustinParticipantI’m always willing to help another. Don’t know what I could help you with but always willing.
And I was watching Carl Cox last year and well. You’re never to old to start nor will you ever be old to quit. Just keep learning at your pace mate.
Cheers
Dustin (Melb Australia)DustinParticipantWould have been a fun party
DustinParticipantNice Choon
Good job Daniek.
I’d be interested in what hardware and software you use .Dustin
DustinParticipantHi
I agree quick.
You have to remember though that equipment is NOT cheap. I myself saved for years to buy my equipment and to have it should under my nose for no profit. I am now 7 years after the fact I’m starting to save and save and save to get what I lost back.
My point is that most guys who start websites like this one do it off their own backs without funds. It’s not DDJT’s fault, I think encouraging the company’s making this equipment make certain things affordable and maybe make cheaper versions of this professional equipment.Just my two cents worth
Thanks
DustinDustinParticipantThanks Patrick
It’s actually nice to get a reply. I am learning a lot. And yes very true when you say trust your ears. Just all this technical talk does confuse a simple minded guy haha. But I am getting there slowly.
Dustin
DustinParticipantForgetting all the technical stuff as I’m extremely green to digital mixing(old skool vinyl rave DJ). Listening to this music is what made me want to be a DJ. BIG HAND CLAPS AND ROLLING SLAP BASS.Thanks for sharing this Tom. It was bloody awesome

This was a great read for myself as lately I’ve just come back to playing tunes at home for a hobby.
Music is a great passion of mine all genres. I grew up in Melbourne Australia and in the early 90’s was very much a dance music fan. Back in those days you tried to get into the best clubs in the city to see you favourite DJ play. Even one of my close friends had gigs in those clubs, I remember lugging crates of vinyl upstairs and downstairs to venues and meeting and knowing a few of Melbourne’s top DJ’s. I remember listen to the only radio station that played dance music on a Saturday night before we went out and recording it to tape to listen to in the car.
Recently in my 40’s I’ve come back into playing. Having just one at the moment rp8000, traktor, and my Mac. So confusing to go from vinyl 10 or so years ago.
Anyway my point to this thread.
I went to some fashion clothing opening (doing the whole good boyfriend thing by supporting the better half). I see a very pretty girl behind the decks all digital equipment new CDJ’s ect ect and I watched her plug in her iPod and press play. She didn’t know I was watching, and watching her move the platter and not even touching a mixer. this upset me a little. It looked to me like a scam.
To me a DJ played to a croud and read their reaction and played to it. To me that’s what I enjoyed the most was playing to others and playing my music they wanted to hear and dance and move to.
After a few weeks past I spoke to the fashion designer and asked him how much did the DJ cost him for the night, his reply was $500 Aust. To me plugging in an iPod and letting it play to a previously recorded set was not DJing. But it is just my opinion.
If I was to hire a DJ I want them to play, set the mood, go with the croud and also take them on a musical journey.
In my honest opinion I once new what a DJ did back in the day. But today well I’m not sure……
I understand your confusion mate..
DustinDustinParticipantPlenty of old skool French dance music out there too
