Sure in time, DJTT will reach that certain amount of contributed information as DJF had. But first, you guys have to consider, or better yet, grant our very simple request of adding Vinyl/TT/CDJ and DJ gear mod section. A lot of us here are still into the traditional DJing gear rather than MIDI controllers.

I have asked the same question for about 4 times already but no one has answered it yet.

So I'll ask it again and hoping for a response...

How long does the admins/bosses/mods take to discuss and decide on our request?"

Your correct on saying that the information has to be out there.. But i don't believe nobody can fault this site for not having the information that DJF because DJF was around since around 2002? I'm not 100% sure. So it had time to build up it's information.

This site is a very busy site based on Digital Technology compared to DJF what mainly was vinyl/Cdj/dvs and digital to certain extent. Also this site has near enough all the information you need for digital technology.

I believe some people just wish it had more active subcommunity s and stuff but as said its a growing community and will eventually get there over the years because there is a really good community here. And very wel run.

This pretty much. Which is a big reason I want to have another chance over at djcommunity s if it ever comes back, I just don't see too much info outside of midi controllers and traktor here. The resources here for that are great, but there is a lot more to DJing that applies to digital djs or any dj that isn't really discussed.

While this is true, DJTT doesn't have a chance of getting any of that info right now since there are no community s to talk about any of that stuff in.

that's the point. if you didn't ask for something scetchy like "where can i get good music for free" etc. you would generally get a usable aswer out of it. most of the trolling on DJF came from either people not reading stickies and opening yet another "where do you buy music"-thread or asking for illegal or retarded stuff.

Forums, crazy places at times.

Glad your here man. At least i have one good memory of DJF now



btw - that was nothing to what ive been called on the Serato community s
well then that was one of the few who'd do this or was able to do this. because generally DJF neg repped the F- out of people who'd pirate and call DJ Badger who would then proceed to school the kid. i miss badger

Yeah it was quite funny like that because a n00b would get told to use the search function by a dickish member then later at somepoint you may see that same member saying how bad the search function was..

Yeah the site was a evening mare but it had everything we needed, a laugh, a joke, some serious topics and most of all good DJ/Music/Production resources..

As i said back in the first page or so or this thread i used DJF for surfing and older DJ tips and been using this one since 2009 for Digital stuff.. Works out quite well.
Lina Rawie
02.12.2011		The search function on DJF was useless, partly because the community software hadn't been updated in years. When I was a mod, I tried to get them to update (not just for that reason) but they said that they'd made too many customisations to the site which would be lost if they updated.

I believe the "use the search n00b!" posts were largely from people looking for an excuse to act like twats and hand out neg rep though, cos they'll have also known that the search function was rubbish.

The more I post in this thread, the more I realise what a shit hole that site could be, LOL, but that was part of its attraction too.
Palma Hanslip
02.12.2011		Another thing i noticed with DJF was posting new threads could be intimidating, the fact that it had such a big amount of threads/posts that it was near impossible to get someone to ask a question that wasn't similar to something asked in the past. Within reason obviously.

Example being - i noticed quite a lot of the n00bs coming in and noticed the ones being genuine and sometimes you would get the odd n00b and even more active member asking a question on a new thread and automatically getting hammered with 'use the search function'.

Now i'm one of those that would say that IF the question was legitimately stupid, but sometimes i would search for things and couldn't find it even though i knew the thread existed due to seeing it in the past. So it kind of made people that was aware of the flame wars on posting new threads not post. But you still had idiots that had no intentions on searching just posting the thread.

Sometimes i also noticed someone would ask a question and people would point them to threads and say 'use the search function' and when you followed the given links it had little to do with the question actually being asked or not in enough depth.

That irritated me a little. Once you sifted through that on the 'new posts' there was a lot of good reads!

That's something i like about here, if i know there is a thread but can't find it i can still post a thread and someone will point me in that direction and probably even answer the same time.

02.12.2011		I have stupid questions, like how many bass reflex 18" subs might I expect to need for an outdoor dubstep event with 300 people to make it sound friggen awesome?
for which there isnt really a specific answer due to the multitude of variables involved. but unless I take on a gig, how will I know if what I have is enough?

a question like that on djf at least brought on a good discussion.

I actually find the same thing in a lot of ways. There are probably people that hate me for things like dissing a lot of stuff and kind of believeing that unless you're desperate, there's no reason for mid-range gear. But I stand by it if your goals are either to pursue DJing as a hobby or as a profession. Hobbyists can't afford good CDJs, and professionals don't have time to deal with crap. But, I guess there's probably a middle ground that I just don't see.

There are a lot of good DJs here, but I believe that part of it is that a lot of people here haven't figured out that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I definitely see what you're talking about. If I were building a studio from scratch or putting together a big PA system, I don't believe I'd ask for advice here, since I seem to be dispensing more of that advice than receiving it
Rena Estabrook
02.12.2011		DJF was an interesting place. There were a lot of haters. I wish I can remember the exact quote I read in a a DJ Bl3nd thread. Made me laugh. It went something like this.

"You know you made it in DJing when you have a thread in DJ Forums hating on you".

The good thing about DJF was that it had a large user base and it covered all the bases when it came to DJing and music (well, mostly with music). I'm largely a hip-hop/scratch DJ and there was a section for hip-hop/turntablism and quite a lot of discussions about it, ranging from n00bs asking how to do baby scratches to experienced guys posting up scratch videos. I could usually find a new hip-hop mix to download, or maybe a hip-hop or scratch battle to check out and comment on. I have to admit, I struggle to find topics I can participate in on here in comparison - not cos there's anything wrong with this place - but because it's more specialist.

The main problem with it was that the modding wasn't harsh enough. The off-topic section was fair game for any old shite pretty much and I liked it like that, but outside of that section they should have done a better job of keeping discussions on track IMO. If a thread descended into a shit-fest, the mods would sit back and watch just like everyone else, only locking it once it had reached the point of no return. The rep system didn't help in that respect either (only cos of neg rep though).

02.12.2011		^^ DJF never supported piracy so if someone gave you neg rep over that screw them, they probably weren't a contributing member anyway

I mean, before it got shut down, I would go on DJF to find great info, good mixes (and battles) some cool ass people, enjoy some of the arguments, and some we're very entertaining and kept me laughing when I was on there. DJTT is sort of like a library compared to DJF ( No offense, what so ever) you can find great info and the mods are got this place locked down (in a good way). I guess you can say it's just different strokes for different folks.

There never seemed to be a line drawn in the sand on DJF. Im not 14 and im not looking for some kinda 4chan experience.

I guess thats why i came here. I never found any info on DJF that i coudnt find here or at NI by making a thread or directly asking a member.

i lurked at DJF a lot, i mean quite a few times every week.
I love joking around in a way that everyone involved can find funny. I did not like the way some people treated others there. I had stopped going on djf several weeks before it died.
however, I really do not see any of the information on this site that I can use.most of my questions involve either mobile DJ stuff, sound systems, lighting, or arranging large events. so far I havent found where I can browse around and get info for sound or lighting for an event with a thousand people. on djf I had sections to find it, or someone to ask.
I did get tired of everyone suggesting I make my own, or just listen to Bill Fitzmaurice because I typically wanted more than one opinion, but I certainly got some very good advice. I especially liked the lighting section. I will admit, if I thought someone was a dick, I was a bigger dick back at them, and thats not an appropriate way to react but I never claimed to be perfect.

this site seems primarily to be about using digital controllers. while that is certainly helpful to the beginner and bedroom DJ, I really do not see much in the way of information for the more experienced users, or the non-midi users here.

The DJ gear (TT/CDJ/Mixer/etc) mod section has been requested already. The mods said that t hey will discuss it with the admins/owners of this site. It's been three weeks and nothing has happened. I wonder why it takes so long for them to decide.

By the way, nice to see you here Mark!

01.12.2011		Ah I remember when I first came to DJF. I really got great advice there. My legendary Mobile DJ thread had some really great advice. Now today I'm doing school formal dances, sweet 16s and more with the best DJ company in all of central United States. I've even got my chance at a club gig. My setup now is turntables with DVS. It's crazy to see where you started and then where you are now. I would never be where I am now though without the help of people like KLH, DJHARTATTACK, AllensMusic, Mostapha, DJ ATX, Atomix, and all the other guys in the Mobile DJ thread. A mobile DJ thread is what DJTT really needs.

01.12.2011		So much crap but so much info at the same time, this community is small compared to djf, you need way more threads, for each genre of music. i dont see why its so much trouble. even a mod section but i dont really wanna upload all my mods again seems like such a waste of time as i all ready done it once on djf. i wonder where dopple and dave the rave have gone? dave was very very helpfull in the mod section and new his stuff on tech 1200 same as manu

I also got a substantial amount of neg rep and some pretty nasty comments for it but of course, those who did it did so anonymously and didn't give their names.
Thanks.
