First,those that don’t take risk never profit,e.i. go for it if you think you can do it even if there’s a risk,but be sure you’re comfortable with the level of risk.Two,keep it simple,if it’s your first gig,don’t do massive tricks and a lot of EQing,just keep it simple maybe throw in a trick every now and then.Not often mind you,infact if you’re just beggining you can get away with out them.

Ironically i actually volunteered for my first club gig.It was suppose to be a gift for my nephiews birthday to have me DJ his party at one of those clubs that has two big rooms,one for events and the other as a regular club thing.So it was a bit random but in the end turned out to be really good for me.

Here’s the gist of it,the two lnes you see on the male plug for the stereo lets you know it is stereo they are the way you see it has two channels plus a ground while mono as the name would suggest has a single channel plus ground[or more commonly known as zero].The addapters you should use with the splitter if you plan to plug in stereo males from your pc speakers or your headphones have a stereo male plug.The adapters them selves don’t really transform mono sound into stereo.They feed one channel into two by splitting the channel allowing you to get essentially mono through a stereo plug which you normally wouldn’t be able to do.So yeah what you bought right there,if you bought both the splitter and the two mono to stereo adapters is exactly what you need.Given this solution isn’t exactly perfect in any way as it does make you have to rely more on your soundcard for sound quality.But it’s great for home setups for practicing and even maybe some minor parties where you don’t have to do give super high quality,it’s also a great setup if you are using a program to stream your mixes over the internet cause the person listening in will listen in stereo while you monitor and mix in mono to your self.

Keep true to your self but don’t be boring,that’s the only thing,be nice and flowing but at the same time be random.You can have your set flow perfectly and leave an empty floor,it’s happened to me a few times.But if you’re fun if you give the crowd the energy insted of just listening to just their energy you’ll be better.Remember that the crowd are there for you to lead not the other way around.Read the crowd but don’t nececerally let the crowd intimidate you into going from genre to genre to genre.Give your self a set group of say 6 genres,that you will play.It’s more often a matter of a tough crowd that needs to be warmed up then it is of the bad music choice.I’ve done a gig where for litteraly an hour the dance floor was empty,but i cycled through my genres and after the hour the floor got packed to the brim,people feel your energy too so if you’re just trying to pleas them you won’t get anywhere.

I do know that i can start with almost anything but it s anoying when i practise i have to stop the one track,cue the other set the starting point and then mix. Djing with a splitter cable is not working to me !

Are you sure you got a DJ splitter cable?There’s a lot of splitter cables out there but only serten types of splitter cables are usable for DJing.Make sure you’rs is a stereo to two mono splitter.

you don’t really need a lot of hardware to get started man,i started in my desktop pc and now im doing my stuff with a controller.Just sign up and practice with mappings on the laptop/desktop you have.If you love music get into it,you can map your keyboard to do stuff you wouldn’t even imagine it could do.I had mine mapped to where it was almost like a midifighter for me.And i sitll use it with my controller as add on gear.

I live in my countries second biggest city,what makes it worse is that my city is hailed as the cultural center of my country.There’s so many colleges and everything and it’s full of young people,yet they all act like their parents did back in the 50’s,literally,music over here seems to have stoped it’s development about 60 some years ago.

What if,to spite the fact that you know that there is a scene for your music style in the entire country,there doesn’t seem to be a scene for the type of music you do in your city.Any advice for guys like me who no matter what just can’t seem to locate the scene for they’re music style,no matter how hard they try.And pleas don’t give the awnser”You’re friends are your scene” as i don’t make friends and don’t have friends,i have A Friend and everyone else is acquaintances at best.
