Jack WhiteI don’t remember saying that 😛
But on topic, I don’t see any fault in him having a last section premixed for the sake of a good show. And that’s what we as DJ’s do, we put on a show, we perform for an audience.
MemberI DJ primarily in a gay bar (where I also work).
All the customers want there is Top 40 and club classics. Whilst I do like the club classics, I don’t like an awful lot of pop songs. So basically I find house remixes of them, which I do like.

Great to hear you like it, it’s the main reason I got into recording my mixes! To be a little vain, I love it, not stopped listening to it yet.
MemberI can see the advantages of having it off, but I would very, very rarely use it.

People expecting you to know everysong in the world and have it and be able to mix it with what you are playinf, like dubstep – spicegirls kinda shizzle
And that a dj is a failed musician….. Ill gladly take someone up on a challenge see who can play bass, guitar or drums better 😉 I played in a heavy rock band for years so gradually learnt all instruments and still play bass and guitar a lot also 🙂
Yeah I can to an extent, but I DJ chart music a LOT (gay bar), and so if there’s a new single out that week, that’s all the rage, and I don’t have it then I’m stuffed. I need to be on top of future chart hits too, I spend so much time reading up on future releases.
MemberHate to enforce the stereotype, but I am a gay DJ 😀
Stereotypes I get a lot and despise:
I do every drug under the sun; I don’t do any except for nicotine and alcohol.
I can mix any two tracks together; If someone can find me a way to go from drum and bass to the Vengaboys, be my guest.
I can scratch; I can’t.
I’m a producer; I’m not.
I can remix any track there and then; I can’t. This also includes the chavs saying “Naww mate, stick a bassline on it!”
I can turn up to DJ with 30 mins notice; It takes hours of prep-work.
I’m a party animal; Sure, I like parties, and love to drink, but to be honest, I’m happy with a glass of wine in a nice chilled bar.
I’ll DJ your wedding for you; Probably should considering it’s easy money (and plenty of it), but I’d be bored to death.
I want to talk about music and nothing else; I love to talk about music, but it’s not my entire life.
I use vinyl; Why would I carry around 85 metric tons of music around when I can take tens of thousands of tracks in a few kilos?
I can use any digital DJ software on the planet; I went back to VDJ the other day and realised I’d forgotten how to use it (I use Traktor now)
I’m sure there’s more. Writing this has actually made me a little angry lol
MemberYeah, I’d seen the buttons, but didn’t know what they were for, and there were no settings for it in the…..well, settings.
Having learnt on VDJ, I thought traktor would to it automatically..
MemberThis has been bugging me for ages! (Never had the bright idea of trying to find the answer 😐 )
Cheers
Member😀 Cheers, that’s good to hear
Think I might play that transition again, see how if it sounds much better with the bass looped in. Will re-upload if it’s worth it. Thanks for the feedback 😉
MemberAh fair enough then.

Oh where in manc you from? I live next door to 5th ave
MemberAfter the headphone out on my mixer decided to stop working about 6 months ago, I’ve been DJing without headphones. Was surprised at how easy it was. You can clearly see what part of the song you’re up to by the wave form, when the bass comes in etc.
This is, however, a temporary measure, can’t wait to get my headphones back…
