i agree, as i said earlier song selection makes up for 70%

you said friend's uncle birthday? so u sure the group of unlces can tahan hardstyle? just because you friends do doesn't mean the uncles can u know? i really cannot picture uncles partying to hardstyle (cant imagine my dad would to anyway)...

as for what i would do i would start the night off with some barstyle house, chillout kind. insert some top 40 along the way. open the floor to dedications. put on some commercial rnb and hip-hop or commercial dance or pop or anything that will float your crowd's boat, you really need to read the floor. but i keep in mind i have another age group of audience here. the uncles. play something they like. for example they are in their mid thirties. so accordingly i would play some late eighties or early nineties which has a good beat. but all in all i would have a continuity of flow.

then from now i have roughly an idea of what the crowd need/ wants . as the night progresses you could play some old skool stuff disco or house or techno then you can progess genres towards hardstuff (if you feel thay want it)... as you get later into the night people are less sober than they are when they came so i guess that they will be more open to harder stuff....

i guess this qualifies more of a mobile gig instead of a full blown rave or something.

excessive records behind lot 10? or order on9? i guess the price shld be abt rm60 a piece (price really varies)?

i have a fair share of mobile gigs.... some good some not so good as all gigging live would to face. but you will have to maintain a spirit of esprit de corps and be professional about everthing even when things goes wrong...
i have mixed for a live bands/ concerts using the allen and heath gl4000, and full blown cerwin vega cabinates das bass cabs and stuff (basically the cream de la cream of pa) till the 'budget' made in china coby brand mixer and dmb (imitation of bmb) speakers.
some formal events and some not so formal.

in all things you do, no matter what kind of gears you use or gigs you have, be professionnal about it.
i cant stress how important this is by just typing it here. perhaps one day you guys teh tarik wif me at mamak then i can start my grandfather story. can start telling stories form world war 2 also can. but i prefere chinese tea, some1 must bring the oolong tea and bring some chinese chess and peanuts and then can start my grandfather story.

btw, guyz any good and cheap tt for scratching? 2nd hand 1200mk2 how much ar? or is numark tt500, tt200 good? how much are the numarks ar?

dia mana ada noob dj setup? just a few pages back you can see him mixing....
2xcdj-800mk2... and all... sangat teramat pro edi..

these are pro hardcore dj

so this weekend we jam at your place?
how do you guys usually go about your jamming session? (as in what do you guys do there?)
how many decks are there? and how many ppl going? as for me i will be going.
so assuming there are enough decks there then i can just bring my cd's and headphones?
i use cdj's btw... i also wanna try vinyls there...

if possible can make it on a saturday ar?
depending on the availability of the gear at the 'chicken out out mouth' boy (what is his name ar?, takkan i call you guys by forum name meh?) i shall see if i should bring some stuff. so how many pair of decks are there? and how many ppl going?

so how do you guys go about your jamming session?

first time i would be attending a dj jam session so i dont really know what to expect. glad you clarified on what you guys usually do during the jamming.
i like the idea that its kind of informal thing. glad it is that way, so i guess the environment would be more relaxed in a way.

aww...

put all your mixer and cdj into a flight case la... a coffin and lock the coffin to the table then when you not using your stuff then close the coffin la...
that way some itchy hands ppl wont so free nothing to do...

looking foward to bashing your man utd team although they won the champions leage and epl during the next meeting westokan. nyeh hehehehe.

bring some vinyls la... i never play with vinyls before.. wanna try ....

all their goals all "chicken bet" (direct translation form cantonese, kai tou or fluke shot) apalah... the champions leauge they lucky only...

i never liked man utd that much anyway...

rigght.. so westokan... bring some vinyls arr... ok ok ?

so mixvibes is a vinyl cd emulation softwatre like the serato that plays timecodes which directs mp3 from the computer?
and the maya44usb is a soundcard much like the serato boc or the fs2 from stanton?
ic now....

look but as you said, the mixvibes has some diver issues and os issues. so is mixvibes stable?

form what i know people go for ssl because its stable and doesn't crash.
the reason why so many people are refusng to go digital is because of stability issues. people would rather stick to cd's and vinyls because they hardly fail. imagine having a gig and your software crashes...

who is your teacher?

i think it all depends on personnal preferences. to me ithink both are good. just that both play different music.

so are there 3-line outs (balanced 3.5mm stereo jacks)? if yes then i think theoritically can kua.. just that you control the software via keyboard and mouse and cue via the headphones on another output. unless you have another 2 line ins?

ohh using vdj is it? i know la why no sound come out...
got one button to press for each side of the deck on the screen in order for the sound to come out 1.... i also use b4...

but that time i was using a midi controller namely the bcd2000 as the sound card and midi controller for it laa...
