    Any more advice?

    I have chosen ‘Phonic’ as the name and I’m currently getting ideas together for the logo, I’m not sure what the logo could be as anything to do with sound would be too cliche.

    The fact that it’s all there at your fingertips, with minimal hassle/set up. The workflow is just so ‘clean’ and streamlined (for me, I download a song, import to iTunes, sort out the song title/album name etc then import into Traktor – it’s time consuming but once it’s done your collection is perfect and ready to go!)

    great post, thanks.
    When I said ‘self-conscious’ I meant about my appearance as I have been suffering from lymphodema for over a year, it is starting to ease down a little but I still have trouble going out, I have full confidence in my ability to mix, the only thing that is holding my back is me.

    What irritates me is that there is a promoter who I spoke to a few months ago about djing for them, shortly after my lymphodema became more serious, I was even offered to stand in for a dj that didn’t turn up but I couldn’t. I think this didn’t put me on good terms with them as I haven’t been able to contact them since (I haven’t exactly tried very hard, just a ‘hey’ on facebook chat once in a while – I’m currently doing a trio of mixes which I want to send out).
    They are booking rookie djs that are (in my opinion) not as good as me (I’ve listened to their mixes and they are just run of the mill easy fade transitions from banger to banger) , which is funny seeing as I’ve never actually had a gig and they play out nearly every week (they even use digital gear too.) I just want to get out there and show people what I’ve got!

    I’m scared of getting a gig for some reason. I guess I’m so self conscious and scared of trainwrecking that I’m not making the extra effort to find a gig

    Do you guys think it’s okay to ‘plan’ a set? Considering it would be 10 times better than if I freestyled… and it’s not like I’m faking it as I still have to perform it live and would have spent hours planning it at home.

    You need to go into preferences>recording and set it to internal instead of external

    I need to start freestyling a bit more. I hardly ever do. I find it’s risky not having a pre-planned set because some songs that you think will go together do not at all and then you get a trainwreck. It’s hard to find the motivation to just freestyle in my room on my own, that’s why I only really do planned mixes, I guess I need to start playing out.

    Tell me about it! I spend wayyyy too long trying to find a song that fits perfectly with the one I’m currently on in a mix. Sometimes I spend an hour or two trying to find ONE song…

    Monitors or proper speakers. I only have a creative 5.1 system that cost me £25 4 years ago

    I love PVD back in the early 2000’s. At the moment I’m still discovering new artists on a daily basis.
    My current favourite is
    ShockOne (Drum & Bass)
    but it changes weekly 😉

    I need to use something like this, I always have to manually change the gain on my songs in Traktor.

    At parties I ALWAYS used to do everything in my power to have MY music playing, which pissed off a lot of people. Last summer my mate downloaded Traktor and introduced me to it, I thought ‘I’d be pretty good at this’ so got it myself and soon after I bought a Mixtrack and X1.

    I jumped in at the deep end and started with Drum & Bass. It’s also my favourite to mix as it has so much energy and it’s a challenge to mix well.
