I've only gotten paid to DJ twice. I would have done both for free, but there were situations where I really did need to get reimbursed. Once was in LA, where I had to drive 4 hours to get there, and 4 hours back... the same night. So after gas, food, and where in tear, I probably broke even. The ot...

PS: Jesse, THANK YOU for the awesome article! Very welcome. I should update it, as new technology has become available... as well as new software versions. Whereas I didnt used to consider OtsJuke a viable solution due to the proprietary format, they have renamed it OtsDJ, and added direct mp3 supp...

http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answerstips/story/0,24330,2413080,00.html I reviewed all of those. VTT (Virtual Turn Tables) is no longer supported (last updated in 2001), and has some major issues. I used it for about a year before I found BPM Studio. PCDJ is pretty good and the best price, but...

Re: Laptop DJing
I'm etting tired of ripping, burning, rearranging mixes, making mixes of music people like so I have it on hand and keeping seperate playlists. So I think I'll go with a laptop. I've been told to get 2 sound cards so that I can listen to a tune while another is playing. I assume one tune goes throu...

Yeah, my laptop has 3 USB ports and a Firewire port. I'm a bit hesitant to get a USB external due to the relatively slow transfer rate compared to Firewire. I guess the other question is how big a drive I need. I think I have about 10 GBs of music right now. Would 120 GBs be excessive? USB 2.0 is f...

The obvious would be MP3's or OGG's on CD or other removable media. Does the notebook have USB2 or Firewire? I believe you can get external hard drives (basically a desktop drive in an external enclosure) that would add a lot of capacity ... it probably means one more piece of equipment and another...

Re: Songs that fade
Never considered it a no-no, just annoying usually.Roy wrote:Are songs that fade out at the end of a recording a no-no? Or do you play them?
I'd say I only play a few songs that don't have a real ending, but I think that's just coincidental to the fact that most swing and Jazz bands like true endings.

Re: Bix Beiderbecke
What does everything think of his music? A long time ago I picked up an album, and really enjoyed it. Didn't have much that I considered dance music, but I loved it. Once I got past some of the shrill clarinet/sax playing, I enjoyed it even more. I also recently picked up the Bix Proper Box set, an...
