Posted on: 11.03.2013 by Golda Sivertson i have my first gig on wednesday. im scared as hell! i'm bedroom dj, this is my first gig ever. any advice?And this setup....i'm using turntables. Club Setup : Pioneer CDJ 900 and Ecler Evo 4. I have never seen this mixer before. peace! | |
| Alphonso Deitchman 11.03.2013 | If you're familiar with 1000s you'll be fine on 900s. One difference is there are no hotcues on the 900. |
| Golda Sivertson 11.03.2013 | and i'm using mixvibes DVS - there isn't even properly working BPM counter so i'm forced to beatmatch forgot about "edit" option....sorry. i'm worried about that mixer - this is some space stuff. i had ecler nuo 2, but this is much more advance i guess. |
| Golda Sivertson 11.03.2013 | guys, come on! i'm dj since i'm 17, now im 23 - i'm playing only on turntables and sometimes cdj's. i'm feeling pretty good about beatmatching. i was using cdj 1000, but i have never seen cdj 900 live bu i assume,, that they are simila (sort of) to cdj 1000. |
| Merlyn Birchfield 11.03.2013 | - Assuming you're old enough, feel free to have 1-2 beers, but no more. - Pay attention to how monitoring/cueing works on the Evo 4, and see if it's different to what you're used to. That's probably the biggest scary "new mixer" problem imo. - Go to the bathroom first. - Go to the bathroom first. - Go to the bathroom first. - Being that this is a first gig, set up a playlist that you can fall back to if you panic. Don't be afraid to stray from it. - Show up early. Pay attention. - Don't freak out. Just get yourself in the swing of things and realize that you're just playing someone else's music. Be confident. - Good luck! |
| Alphonso Deitchman 11.03.2013 | Do you have any idea how to use CDJs, or beatmatch by ear? |
