12.09.2011		Just had one.

I mix externally. Finished off a mix, got the wav onto my other lappy, loaded into audacity. 20mins of silence . . .

Forgot to hook up my record out to my in on my audio 8.

Crap . . .

09.09.2011		It took quite some time for CD players to have an eject lock (and still not every model has them today).

09.09.2011		I believe it's still not default on Itch, did that on my roommate's NS6.. or was it VDJ and Mixdeck..?4

I'ld say doing a kickass mix and forgetting to press record in Traktor is my most common one, followed by the damn EQ knobs on a drop.. after a great transition too.. lol

09.09.2011		Im sure we've all done a mix and then taken the needle off the wrong deck?

Ive pressed stop on the playing deck on traktor before too. All you can do is put your hands up and laugh at yourself.

09.09.2011		I couldnt hear deck 3 the other evening . Was proper confused. All looked to be well.

Spend the next 20 mins double checking every lead, connection and sound preference in traktor.

turns out the channel was set to phono, not line *facepalm*

08.09.2011		recording a mix

it's the last tune and im mixing like a true champion

hand in the air, dancing away like a knob

listen to monitor speakers and wonder why the sound is soo low

look down to realise the bass is on '0' still
