Edwin AlvarezParticipant
imo mtp. ive used em all. honestly wish numrk made a metal version of the mtp .
Edwin AlvarezParticipantheres another link, same concept
when i first made some mixes i was distorting big time, it didnt sound “loud” enough so i was just ever so slightly going into the orange/red. dont even kiss the limit bring it right up to yellow and take it back a click. keep an eye on those levels and turn it down hair by hair until it NEVER touches yellow.
Edwin AlvarezParticipantthats one method but i didnt try it. phil sent me this link here

worked like a charm

Edwin AlvarezParticipantthanks steve, i need to buy one of those!
phil morse told me about this traktor link, and it worked like a charm! very clear! now i just have to figure out my levels cause i brought just a kiss under the red and it still didn’t sound loud enough (the test broadcast feature wasn’t there?) but that was just a test n tune anyhow heres the link he sent me

Edwin AlvarezParticipantthe bar wants a rotation, my trick to keep the manager happy is play a 20 min set of say dance pop, this gets the extroverts out meanwhile the introverts are drinking watching and getting looser and more relaxed.
then just throw something on way off wack like big e smalls, this normally clears the floor and now the wall flowers are brave enough to dance, normally everyone on the floor goes to buy drinks. i keep this up all night until everyone is plenty sloshed (think up down roller coaster) then when EVERYONE just wants to dance keep playing your bangers. keep those mixes smooth and flowing. people are happy and bar manager is REALLY happy $$$
oh and dont underestimate the “cheesy” songs people just love, when theye sloshed they love some classic disco like staying alive, toe tapping music. cater to the women sometimes theres even a pack of em that just wanna have fun and dance those are the “leaders” cater to that bunch and let them lead the way for others to join in and dance. fun is contagious

(at least in my area) i dont mind being the dj at the club though, ironic.
Edwin AlvarezParticipantROI = Return On Investment
Edwin AlvarezParticipanti think its a good article, i’m just really thinking this may be a phase and will come crashing down hard.
i cant blame any dj for running with it while its hot. its just funny that the dj is now like a “rock god” at the moment. (well the really famous ones)
how much of this can many other copy cats jump on the band wagon or coat tails?

Edwin AlvarezParticipantas minimal as possible you can go with a mini pa like this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/behringer-eurolive-b205d-active-pa-monitor-speaker
mackie has the same thing just more $$$ http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SRM150?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PPC&utm_campaign=livesound&device=c&network=g&matchtype=&gclid=CLHc94Pmj7kCFRGg4Aoda3MAgA
hook up a mic of your choice, and the ipad mini w the djay app.(or your app of choice) both those speakers have rca, mic inputs/line, very versatile little speakers w plenty volume. even has a pole mount.
