Lamid45GParticipant
A lot of question ^_^
I try to answered it from my humble point of view…So let’s say the track is going to be ending in 16 bars or 16 kicks.
> 16 kicks is wayyy to short for me, at least 32 should be sufficient, try to find a song that have a loooong intro & outro, cuz what you trying to do is just how to do a basic blend mix
I tend to find House, (anything by Mark Knight) or Progressive House (anything by Jerome Is-Mae, remix or original) have a looong intro & outro
Stay away from mainstream festival EDM stuff, those have some awfully short intro & outro, also dubstep and its gangs (trap, twerk etc)Do i hit play on deck B on the 1 ?
> Beginner students likes to tap the cues first before hitting the Play, when you hit it there is no exact science for it, different DJ’s different strokes
Altough, if you do find it where to hit play, i suggest to put a hot cue on the song that was playing on deck A, just a gentle reminder, in case you forgotDo i have to have the mix complete on the 16? Seems like to me the mix has to be completed exactly on the 4,8,16 or the 32.seems like there can’t be any in between. I also have trouble finding that sweet spot
> once again see the aboveseems like i tend to bring the intro track in a bit to strong. or sometimes I lower the bass on the outro track too much…any suggestions?
> try to figured it out yourself, why you think you bring the intro too strong? Was it the volume? then try to ease a little by little when increasing the volume fader (of the incoming song from deck B), inch by inch if you will, try to count the bar every 4 bar you increment the fader up, up and up
Was the high too loud ? try to tweak the High eq. about a quarter down on the incoming track
PS of course you turn down the low eq. (bass) of the incoming track to all the way down, that way your “bass” is not trying to fight each other lol, and then slowly increasing it when you have two song mixed together (with the same volume) and slowly killing off the song on deck A
Once again, its just one of those techniques, miles can be varyAlso when should a high pass filter be used vs lowering the bass? do you use effects much at the point of your mix? when do you tend to use the echo effects?
> When you just trying to do a simple blend, leave the FX alone, its that simpleLamid45GParticipantHellow Alicia & welcome to this wonderful forum !
Lamid45GParticipantKeep in mind that the VCI 300 series was aimed for Serato ITCH, which got discontinued and replaced with Serato DJ
Lamid45GParticipantAs a full time employee, i limit myself to only gigs on the weekend (friday & saturday) only, unless there is that ONE gig I cant simply refused it fell on the weekdays, I take it
As when the gigs itself, I’m not really into alcohol much,
Protips: I can put this for my advantages, on my budget proposals, I don’t demand for an alcohol bottle for my DJ compliment, thus giving me more competitive edge DJ fee’s compared to other DJ’s who demands a JD/Martell bottle as a DJ complimentThe only time i did consumed one, is when a VIP guest offered me a drink, I drank it out of respect, other times i just kept a bottle of waters stocked
Also take one of those vitamin C supplemental capsule, one every morning, and another one just before your gigs
Lamid45GParticipantHellow T wash and welcome !
Lamid45GParticipantCan you just use the CD’s/USB just like the next DJ would ? save the hassle, the headache, plug in plug out, especially you still using the Serato soundcard box
Lamid45GParticipant@Chuck I was referring to Ronnie Emjay :
In this case, you could just connect the 900 Nexus mixer (if it has USB? I’m not sure?)
DJM 900 Nexus do have the USB connection,
And implying that you dont need a seperate sound card box for it (Traktor Audio Pro) since 900NSX can acted as the soundcard itself
Lamid45GParticipantPS If you buy those tunes legally, it will be properly labeled and tagged
Lamid45GParticipantAny recomended backpacks that can fits a mac, reloop controller, headphone, cables, bathroom condiments, a few clothes enough for like 2 days maxed
Some room left enough to fit a slipper would be a plusLamid45GParticipantHow was this compared to the original ?
Lamid45GParticipantGo with #1
Option #2 you said a lot more costly but worth it? the simple answer is no, not really, in this case a lot more costly doesn’t really worth it
Lamid45GParticipantDJM 900 Nexus do have the USB connection, you can plug your laptop straight to it, and the mixer acted as your soundcard, hence you still cant controlled the traktor itself
Lamid45GParticipantTry this text to speech :

Some of them felt more natural & human, play around with their built-in fx, or you can just record it and tweak it in DAW like ableton, add more reverb, echo, swing, etc to make it sound more human
Worked OK for me
