RyanFlemington 08-15-2008, 05:23 PM I'm starting out, and need some pointers. 1revnrex 08-15-2008, 05:26 PM Start with Virtual DJ so when you realize you dont like it you're not out any money. http://thepiratebay.org/search/virtual%20dj/0/7/0 RyanFlemington 08-15-2008, 05:28 PM actually, I've been mixing for a while, and I love it lol. I'm using vdj with a mixer/controller. Doing everything realtime is new to me, though. 1revnrex 08-15-2008, 05:33 PM A fast laptop and VDJ is pretty much all you need, I know guys that spin Breaks/Trance with a controller and VDJ AND get paid to do it. Good stuff. RyanFlemington 08-15-2008, 05:37 PM ya, I'm just kinda stuck on the process of linking tracks. When I did everything manual, I could just cut and paste, and make anything I wanted. Now I have to be able to cue and loop on the fly, it's kinda confusing.

Also the BeatMatch icon in VDJ will help you alot when looking at what music sounds the best as far as mixing. Do you mix Hip Hop or Dance/Techno? DarkAngelKamui 08-15-2008, 05:44 PM I'm still a newb at DJing myself, but I suppose I can give you some pointers if need be. I have Traktor 3, but most of my mixing is done with vinyl. Check out a minimix I just made for reference to the kinds of stuff I spin and feel free to ask any questions about how I mixed afterwards. http://www.filefactory.com/file/0bd0f3/n/DAK_MiniMix_mp3 RyanFlemington 08-15-2008, 05:45 PM Electro. I'm fairly familiar with mixing, I know how to match bpm, bars, gain, etc. I spose I was hoping someone had a mix they could send me, and then explain what they were doing, so I could just see the process. I've been listening to lots of mixes, but it's often hard to follow what's coming from what channel if I don't know the songs. edit: sweet, thanks ^ DarkAngelKamui 08-16-2008, 09:09 PM So, no questions? Also, "It's not hip-hop, it's Electro... Prick." RyanFlemington 08-17-2008, 02:01 AM lol been busy, haven't listened to the whole thing, yet. I'll definately have some questions lol |
