Mix Club - The Remedial Class

Sounds very similar to my experience last month at a wedding. Half way through my set and someone asks for Darude-Sandstorm FFS!

Glad it went well and you are spot on - playing out live is such an amazing feeling

I had quite a few people ask me for 80s or stuff that people know

Translation: “Please play the same tired crap that I have heard at every wedding I’ve gone to. The same shite that is played whenever I put on the radio or TV, and as played anywhere I go at any restaurant, bar, shop or most public places. What? You are going to play something different? He’s such a rude cunt.”

Having a bit of a slump at the moment. Have given up after an hour of home DJeing these past two or three Fridays, and yesterday tried to make a “studio” mix with Traktor, and could not make it work even a bit. And I was so happy with my new Traktor set up too. Xone PX:5 for audio, XDJ 700s for decks, Xone K2 for Traktor efx and other stuff I can’t do on the XDJs. Figuring out how to add different controllers at the same time was surprisingly easy.

I’ve had this before, and I usually get out of it by ignoring the decks for a weeks. The hunger then comes back.

So no 8 hour live in the livingroom in the near horizon folks.

It’s the beginning of the end mate! Lol

Still buying and loving new tunes. So that’s good.

I’m finding myself mixing less and less these days. Getting to the point where I’m starting to question whether it’s time to hang up the headphones for good and get rid of all my gear.

I do enjoy mixing when I do, but just can feel a bit of slog.

Mad_Cyril like Erik I am content with the PX:5. Just need to sort the recording output in order, the right channel is fucked. So I’ve been recording out of the master RCA in the meanwhile. Which is fine, but you can’t change the volume.

Haven’t DJed in ages either. Looking to buy a guitar. Leather jacket and Harley also on the list. I’m not having a midlife crisis.

gcw did you get this fixed in the end? I was gonna suggest that it might be out of phase audio.

Amps how can this be done with vinyl? How do you know what key something is in in? It’s always baffled me

gcw
I always thought that if two tunes go well together then they are in Key.

Old-Dutch
I’m the same. Thought many times of getting rid of all my vinyl & decks. I think I’m just bored of it all to be honest.

Dubman

Have you thought of buying some new vinyl?

gcw I have no idea what the key is, but I know when tracks flow. And I’m a musical muppet.

Echo
No. Got to much already.

Doesn’t the key show up on your screen for each tune you load in on your mixer
