I have a couple of hand puppets (Sooty & Sweep) should see their faces when out of the top of your booth sooty pops up and starts head banging. I have also picked up a Chinese fighter pilots helmet from ebay for $25 it fits a small pair of headfones in them so I can mix properly with it on looks cool as f*ck with the black lens down top gun style 😉

Back to topic I like to always have a couple of crowd filler tunes of each genre up my sleeves just in case they drift off the dance floor.

Golden rule get the girls dancing if you do that the guys will come to dance and chat up the girls if they like the tune or not 🙂

Thank God you got away with it LMAO

Ha, well if you are after the more popular side of dance, Last FM may be the place.
I have been a member of that website for 4 years, and even now they do not rcognise
Hardstyle or Hardtrance as genres.

I suppose commercial over hyped stuff is where the big money is?

Enough said.

I only used the Alpha Mode occasionally as I found it was harder to beat match than just mixing in a track from the other deck.
Unfortunately they don’t get used at all these days anyway! The one big factor that pushed me into digital was the birth of my son. My DJ room became his nursery and I no longer had any room for my gear! I ended up converting the small area under our stairs into an area for a PC (which is where the stitched together photo was taken) and the only thing I could fit in there was something small so I bought myself a Mixtrack Pro. I’ve now sold this however and bought an S4, as like so many others, I have the buying bug again!

Thanks for the interest!

I can see exactly where you are coming from, you are lucky you had the space
earlier on.

The reason why I started off by being digital is that I rent one room in a shared
house.

In that room, I have the kit mentioned in my thread, the 19″ Monitor is my TV,
the speakers are part of my Hi-Fi, I also have a bed, a fridge, a reclining-armchair,
a normal chair, a coffee table, two sets of drawers, a book shelf, an office type of
swivel-chair and finally an office style desk where my Monitor / TV is on.

Also all the tenants in the same house do not appreciate the music which I mix.

So now you know.

i use VDJ and it’s an alright program but i feel like its a very very limited program with it’s starter effects and samples. cues can sometimes load in a split second off and it seems to Skip for me a lot. I’m not sure if its just my sound card or not but I’m not liking it.

I use Vurtual DJ Pro 7 and the “Mix Station 3 Skin” with my Numark Mixtrack Pro controller (because there is more to it than what firstly meets ones eye), another thing it allows me to keep my Tracks in the same folders which I had originally created (Sets, Genres and so on), while I found Traktor put all of my tunes (35 + Gb worth) into One Folder!

Another thing is that I do not need to spend too much time to search for another track to load on seeing I normally Mix Off-The-Cuff! Also I use Virtual DJ because it allows me to broadcast and mix live on my various weekly shows on different Internet Radio Stations which use Shoutcast Servers (there are not many about which use IceCast which Traktor uses!).

Just a note both Virtual DJ & Traktor LE are “Limited Editions!” Obviously which program to use is really the individual DJ’s choice because what is good for some DJ’s may not be good for others!
