you know youre a DJ when.... Posted on: 28.07.2010 by Maisie Marras youre reminded of mixing while you try to keep the speedo exactly on the sped limit (beatmatching. believe of the pedal as the pitch fader, the needle as deck b and the speed limit as deck a) post your own
Makkins Clifton 06.08.2010	But going to bed at evening can be pretty damn lonely! You're right. I already tried to solved that problem by asking Shiftee to do that with me but he said that would cost extra. lol @sarasin She is quite understanding normally. She was with us at the radio-station and all the time at the party, but now she starts putting my actions into questions. She may be right as I do dumb things all the time, but thats just how it is.

Lilliana Perris 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by Karlos Santos Lol my g/f would freak if i made her a mixtape... Gotta be shoes... maybe a bag. I get a new "black box with lights" on it ... she gets shoes. Same... "You got ANOTHER one? WHY? You have 3 already!" Cuz this one is blue...and the others were yellow and green!!!
Lilliana Perris 06.08.2010	mmm...then she is good gal mate! If she happy with 2 of your songs.... My GF would toss it in my face! (she broke my tonearms off my decks remember!) Cook her dinner....give foot massage and run her a bath. She will appreciate that....i am sure.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 06.08.2010	Yeah but she makes great food... To be honest ive got a good un... shes very understanding. She puts up with a lot !!!
Makkins Clifton 06.08.2010	Anything for a peaceful life eh guys !!! Get rid of the disturber! Its women who hinder the progress.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 06.08.2010	That is exactly what my g/f calls any DJ gear. Shes actually pretty clued up on what does what but when i wanna buy something new she say "GOD not another black box with lights on it"... she knows that will push me into buying her something... Anything for a peaceful life eh guys !!!
Makkins Clifton 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by photojojo You know your a Dj when you come to a DJ community for critical relationship advise. I would've said I've learned my lesson with this mistake and it'll never happen like this again. Then apologize for ignoring her and promise here something nice as soon as you rebound from this mess. Then talk about living together. Now for damage control. I'm sorry, I love you. I'm sorry, I love you. I'm sorry, I love you. Then apologize again and tell just like any typical male your head was up your arse. If you've never talked about living together tell her you were a little surprised by her saying it and it was kind of a knee jerk reaction probably brought on by the stress of putting on the party. You realize now that you were wrong to say it because you lover her and can't imagine living with any one else. Your glad you have her to help you grow up and you realize that's what you need to do. Then talk about living together. If you've talked about living together before bring up the positive moments of those discussions. Tell her you can't imagine living with anyone else and you love here more than anything in the world. Then talk about living together. The talk about living together after each scenario is to serve as a smoke screen and try and make her forget that she's pissed at you and bring positive thoughts into her mind. Might work, might not. I'd prefer being honest and saying that I love what I do (DJ and blah) and I also love her. If she makes me decide between any of those two things it won't be a difficult decision since my other love (DJing and stuff) never asked to leave her. No money for shoes. Making her something actually sounds good. I made two songs for her which she loved. black box with lights So thats what our heaven means to them?
nayit ruiz jaramillo 06.08.2010	Lol my g/f would freak if i made her a mixtape... Gotta be shoes... maybe a bag. I get a new "black box with lights" on it ... she gets shoes.
Wanda Insel 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by Karlos Santos In my experience there is only one thing that a DJ can do to make his girlfriend forgive him for doing what DJs do: BUY HER SHOES This also has other perks when you Are making up!!
Lilliana Perris 06.08.2010	LOL! SNAP! I was gonna suggest buying her something too! They will protest....that they are not materialistic....but once they smell that new shoe smell....you will see that sparkle in her eye! BUT.....you spended all your moneys! mmmm.....best MAKE her something then.....and I don't mean a mixtape!

Makkins Clifton 06.08.2010	When your girlfriends yells at you that you can't host a party if you then in return have nothing to eat for a few days and she asks how that will gonna work out once you live with her together and you just say: "I don't see that coming yet." Boy....she is so angry with me now >.>
Cedric Ojha 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by Fyoog When everyone (your girlfriend mostly) starts getting annoyed at you saying "boring, was rocking this tune ages ago when it was good!" if a song gets a bit of limelight. (happened this morning with Americano) So true! whats worse, with my gf if I let her hear a track she will say she hates it BUT if it turns up on tv/top40 she will like it.
Wanda Insel 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by BradCee what track was it? Franz & Shape - Countach, love the track, was played at about 120 bpm sounded awful (to me anyway).
Dorcas Bassignani 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by Fyoog When you here a tune that you own played elsewhere and not in your normal BPM range and it just doesn't.........sound.........right!!! what track was it?

Lilliana Perris 06.08.2010	Originally Posted by Phil Morse You know you're a DJ when you're in a great restaurant with lovely people eating wonderful food, and you're the only one to notice when the background CD returns to the beginning and loops the same 12 tracks... again. AND....its usually Gypsy Kings.....innit? Well it is here... LOL
Dorcas Bassignani 06.08.2010	on the opposite of this thread; you know you don't look like a dj when a bar owner looks confused that you have approached about doing a minimal/funky house evening , know what your talking about in terms of local area tastes, and how you know this wouldn't work on a friday or saturday so want to do it on thursday as the crowds are different during the week.

Maisie Marras 05.08.2010	i would post, but then i would be detracting you oh shi-!!!
Lyndsey Vishnevsky 05.08.2010	Originally Posted by Lambox You know your a DJ/Producer when you would rather stay home and work on a mix/track than go out with friends! Whats a "friends"? you know you're a DJ when you reply to this thread instead of writing the last 3 pages for the essay that has to be done by 24:00 (which is in 54min) oh man i need to turn off the wlan router!!! :eek:
Takisha Hodulik 05.08.2010	Originally Posted by Lambox You know your a DJ/Producer when you would rather stay home and work on a mix/track than go out with friends! o i def see myself doing this, especiallly when i get my production gear whithin the next year and lock myself in my room learning the crap out of ableton Gianmarco

Takisha Hodulik 05.08.2010	Originally Posted by DJMutagen Lol goddamit, yes! "dude... That's not tech, that's more like house..." "no... I believe I would know, favorite artist" "Not to be a dick or anything..." lol I said this on another thread: Our retaliatory response. go to a death metal show and be like "so are they only gonna play this classic rock?" hehe Gianmarco
Takisha Hodulik 05.08.2010	Originally Posted by Gravekeepr I once played at a party hosted by a local guy I know who believes he is the shit, and basically the greatest electro DJ ever. Like, he believes he is the next Steve Aoki, or wants to be. He violently clipped through his entire set, (using Ableton Live mind you, so instead of the soft clip you get if you are too loud in Traktor, we had to listen to some very hard clipping the entire time). When I say violently, I mean VIOLENTLY, he was clipping on Ableton, both channels of the mixer, and the mixer's master out. During me and my friend's sets, he would walk up and grab the gains on the mixer and crank it up so that we would start clipping too. I spent pretty much my entire set turning down the volume. Afterwards, my friend posted a link to a Wikipedia article on clipping and volume meters on his facebook. He deleted it, and neither of us have heard from him since. I don't know if he has changed, but somehow I highly doubt it. i love that I am not the only one that knows these kinds of ppl. I know a guy jsut like that, believes he is the shit and all. met him spinning at a friends party. I thought he as good, but this was before I got gear and learned the basics. after i got my gear and leanred the basics i listened to one of his mixes on one of his 4 (yes thats a four) soundclouds. not only was it clip-city, but it was a trainwreck...and full of the top edm music (guetta, afrojack, etc.). I "constructively" critisized it and he proceeeded to un-friend me and threaten to sue me for defamation of character lol Gianmarco

Lilliana Perris 05.08.2010	Fuck...I am sitting here....doing some REALLY mundane data capturing. Wondering if there is a way to use modifiers....to be able to copy selection when clicking the wheel of the mouse the first time....and pasting when you click it again! Controllerism.....its coming to GET YA!
Joette Stazzone 05.08.2010	Originally Posted by Redlight when you go to the club and notice every single mistake the DJ makes throughout the evening . Haha! Everytime im supposed to have a good evening out, im always sittin' there saying "that was a wery bad mixx, hey whats he doing? ouch my ears! to much hipass, NO beatmatch!, sloppy work!" etc.. But then again, the dj's around my area, arent that good (and im not saying im better). Well, you know your a DJ when you automaticly build a remix in your head when you hear a good acapella. You know your a DJ when you analyze a track anywhere heard, and how it would sound in a mashup. You know your a DJ when you get sick of hearing all electronic music called "techno" by the youngsters.. And you know when your a DJ when you throw vinyls instead of knives, working for the Yakuza.. HAHA. Cheers!

I don't believe I'm a DJ then....... (I hope you mean 320kbps song, but have no idea what ridivulous is?)
