Any djs on hear? I been djing for about 8 months, its pretty sick. Especially cuz it opens all sorts of other musical ideas for me, cuz before that i was already a guitarist and home producer of sorts. I'm also an avid music lover which i think is a must for djing; already havin a good record/music collection doesnt hurt either. O, and r there any old timers on here?

i actually just started getting interested in DJing. Im sucha beginner its not even funny. I have ableton live 6 and i just bought a MIDI controller (akai MPD 24).

I would love some tips or pointers or ANY advise. I dont have money to take classes so im trying to teach myself everything. I love music tho and even in the first few weeks of learning about all this stuff i feel like I have found a calling. DJing is so much fun!!

I dont know really anything about Live but you got yourself a nice midi controller there. Fuck classes man, i dont see a need for them unless your getting really into sound engineering or something like that. Just read and experiment as much as you can. You should check out virtual dj, deckadance, and traktor, the pirate bay has a bunch of good torrents for all of them so can try before you buy, or not buy at all . I'm sure you've heard of serato but u need one of the sound cards that r made for it.

That's why I am staying with this riff.

I spin with the m-audio xponent. Mostly progressive trance, vocal trance, house and breakbeat.

I have serato its pretty sweet but i only really use it for scratching and beat juggling. For regular mixing i use virtual dj, it does wat i need it to even tho its not that big on effects, o well. But i started messing with traktor and mixmeister, actually i made a pretty cool mix of some tracks from benny benassi's rock and rave album in mixmeister.

Mcgician how do you like the xponent? I been looking into getting a controller but am still undecided on which one.

Yeah i like vinyl too i got a pair of older numarks, cant remember what model but they're strait. Eventually id like to get some cdj 1000s or some denon dns3700s, they're new and they're pretty fuckin sweet, got some real nice features and wat. O and i spin everything. But recently ive been getting into hardstyle.

I really like the xponent, and the torq software, but make sure all your most recently downloaded/converted music is in the database before you decide to put together a set that you plan on recording. It's easy to forget what's in your database and forget to do the legwork in transferring some of the files. As far as workability, it's an awesome unit, but it's definitely not something I'd recommend for somebody doing it professionally. A pro would need more features, but for somebody looking to mix music, and maybe add some creative transitions, it's awesome.
