ParticipantFor me, the Behringer bcd3000 is good kit. Sure i think there better controllers out there, but this fits nice with my workstation and when I out grow it I will head to the s4.

(sure the 55″ lcd is good for home, bit big to carry to gigs)
ParticipantSennheiser HD-205 here as well.
ParticipantThe delay is called “Latency’ and there is nothing you can really do about it. as for the what you hear it’s hopefully straight forward too.open traktor. then click file, then audio options. in the new window select output routing. there will hopefully be 4 drop down boxes on the left hand side. for me they are labeled monitor with 3.4 and master 1,2 (Top to bottom) set yours to this, but note I have a different contorller and it may display different to you. either way the cue should be chans 3 and 4 (left audio and right audio) and the master 1 and 2. (also left and right). this should hopefully route the sound to the mixers master output. these numbers can be chopped and changed so play around until it does what you want!

Participantokay near the clock… click the little arrow. single click the white speaker single click the word mixer. single click the icon system sounds. click the recording ‘tab’ in the new window that opens. highlight the ‘line in’ spot. (single click) then hit properties button. (down towards bottom right hand side of the window). This will open a new window. hit the levels tab.(top of the window) then adjust the level from here. set it pretty low. (no more than third) then your done hit apply, and work your way back out of where you are.done. hope this has achieved your goal!!!
NOTE:you may have to ‘tweak’ the level until find the sweet spot. but at least you know where it is now!June 30, 2011 at 5:09 am in reply to: What type of person is the most annoying during your set? #1867ParticipantDJ Peixinho, post: 1762 wrote: Depending on the night, there is always a handful of people at a venue that annoy me always with the same requests or acts.
One of them is a guy who tries to offer me drinks for making me to play trance, with this request he also says that he can get a cd from his car to play from my hard drive. He even asks if I can go on youtube. Now imagine this in a venue where most of the dancefloor is female.
Another is a girl who keeps on asking for the same songs and if I say I don’t have it they ask if I can go to youtube or download it, through the wireless hotspot.
But worst of all was a group of girls, and this happened in my second to last gig, where they entered the both messed up with the controlers and even unplugged them. After that I had to play the rest of the night with keyboard and mouse.OMG! now that is bad. Personally i would have done my nut at them. turned everything off, hooked it allback up and started it back from there.. if people got narky… you can point ur finger and say if it wasn’t for those lot…..
ParticipantBlame a ghost or a gremlin then just keep going with either the same track or your next track. Whatever you have to think quick act quick and make light of it or just ignore it!
Participantneed to know what operating system you are using then i can probably help with a click list. I’m confident if you use windows l can show you how to adjust levels (just tell which one, xp visto or 7). If you use on board sound then theres an unfortunatly good chance ASIO drivers probably wont be compatible… or even written for it. however your mixer is a sound card in it’s own right and most likely supports ASIO (which stands for Audio Stream Input Output)- but that is not what is recording your mix… your in board sound card is. Now, Having said all that you may have some or no luck with an ASIO4ALL driver.
ParticipantSound forge 6. It’s also audacity on steroids 8)
ParticipantEQ! that is the key. dont mix the quiet bits either. mix the tracks in full swing. learn your tracks, or look at the wave meters. for the best cue points. use loops. with the EQ bass is your friend or enemy, but so is the mid and treble (to enhance voices). my two cents.
