ParticipantItunes is still free.
And from what I’ve read online, I haven’t seen anything about windows media player importing to Serato, but have seen a lot for itunes. Including playlist imports. Plus, if you want your collection organized by artist/album on the drive itself, then Itunes will actually do that for you. (at least it used to. It did that to me)
ParticipantI have actually read those articles, I just haven’t watched the videos yet. I will though, as one of my goals is to be able to create my own remixes, mash-ups and whatnot.
ParticipantI don’t have a bag yet, but I too have the DDJ-SB and I was looking at getting this UDG bag. I’ve researched and this one says (on another site) that the DDJ-SB will fit in it.
Participant@terry
I LOLed at that! I jokingly thought similar when it comes to drummers, but I know the truth being a drummer myself.
@DJ Vintage
I understand all of that. I think the part that pretty much ticked me off was that it kinda felt like he was telling me ‘what you are doing right now is nothing’ and saying that I should be producing music (which I’m not ready for yet. I’m still learning the features on my DDJ-SB). I also kinda conflict a bit with people who have a bit of an ego, and he’s one of em.I know it’s all about the music. About 5 years ago, I actually DJ’d at my dad’s retirement party, and I didn’t have a controller or even a DJ program then. All I had was my laptop with Itunes, and a speaker system. I just created a couple of playlists and yeah, I did just press play, but everyone still had fun regardless.
(I am the OP, I just got my original account working again)
December 15, 2014 at 3:48 pm in reply to: What's your favourite online store for buying DJ music? #2107821ParticipantI mostly use Itunes and Amazon for my regular music, but for anything like game remixes (I plan to play at a gaming convention) I go to a website called http://www.ocremix.org. All the remixes are actually free there.
ParticipantIn case that doesn’t work out, maybe the isotoner smartouch gloves might? They are all leather, I have them and they are pretty warm. Never did an outdoor gig before (haven’t had a gig yet actually) but it’s at least another option.
ParticipantI’m still new to the game as well, but from what I’ve heard others say, it comes down to personal preference, and it is a good idea to read the controller guide from this site in order to get a feel for the features that each one has.
From what I know (which still isn’t too much ATM) most of the entry controllers are pretty similar in features. Personally, I have the DDJ-SB. I went with it because I happened to find one of the limited red ones, and I liked the color for it being the same price as the standard.
ParticipantDetroit is still a good 30 miles from where I am. There are only sports bars by me, and from the looks of things, they don’t have DJs. Just bands, and while I am a self taught drummer as well, I have no group to speak of (that’s not DJing anyway).
I guess the main reason I never went to clubs is that I am self conscious (as I’m not a very good dancer), and I don’t (rather can’t) drink. Not to mention that the only friend who actually lives near me is not a club type. She wouldn’t go. The group that I mentioned only gets together every once in a while. I henestly, wouldn’t really know what to do in a club. I’d be the lame-o over in the corner that just sits there and doesn’t drink.
And if I DJed outside of the gaming scene, I’d probably choose a different name, as I wouldn’t really want a gaming background to hinder my chances.
I’m not trying to simply give excuses, I’m just explaining my reasons. I can’t help but wonder if I should just be a hobbyist with this because of my situation.
ParticipantSweet! thanks for the help. now I know how I can budget things to make this a reality!
ParticipantI might see about that. I’ll have to see what clubs I have near my area. I’d rather not head to the nearest big city, as that is Detroit, MI(not a very good area for those who don’t know).
ParticipantI don’t mind variety (I like a lot of different types of music too). I just have to make a choice. I’m gone quite a bit during the week between my job, and the fact that I’m a martial artist, and I even do work for the dojo on Saturdays. Saturday would be my only possible night.
Not only that, but I’m a very shy person. In all reality, I’m 28 years old, and have never been to a nightclub in my life. I just don’t know what I would be getting into is all.
ParticipantHD space is no issue. I would like to go into production eventually, but for that I plan to use my Gateway One all in one(500GB) with a 1 TB external HD.
I would simply just rather not take the all in one for anything. 23 inches is far to large for a basic setup, and she really hasn’t had any issues with it. maybe she got a good one or something. I dunno.
Though, I have also been told in the past that my Compaq Presario laptop would only last 3 years at the most, and it still runs 9 years later.
ParticipantThis helps a lot.
Actually from looking up pricing, the LDs are actually more expensive than the Nanos for me. I found the Dave 12s (can’t find any 10s) for $1,000 while the Nano 300 is $700. Also, I can’t seem to find anywhere that sells the 600s in US currency. It seems as those might be out of my reach, but the 300 is still an option.
Now I know what to look for. Thanks!
ParticipantI’m trying to figure out what PA system to save up for. since I plan for travel, which includes having to walk to some locations, I get the feeling that I’ll need a self enclosed system. I’ve got it narrowed to 2 but I don’t know which to try and see about getting. I’m also open to other suggestions, given that the price isn’t too high.
Behringer EPA300 – http://www.zzounds.com/item–BEHEPA300
Fender Passport Event (also 300W) – http://www.zzounds.com/item–FEN6946000I’ve got a low budget, and am just starting out, but I don’t plan to have these for larger groups. We are talking 30 tops.
ParticipantThere is where an issue may lie. I live in a small town and we really only have 1 sports bar, and I know no one here (also, my underground EDM isn’t well known in this area). Also, just in my area alone there are at least 10 wedding DJ services already. I don’t really know if I COULD DJ for profit where I live.
I might have a chance at getting a used Toshiba Satellite series with 4 GB and a pretty good size hard drive (500GB). My friend might be getting a new PC for christmas, and I offered to buy her old one. We’ll see though.
Also, I am the OP but for some reason I can’t log into that account anymore. Had to create a second one.
