me and mate spin in a little pub where we live and
every set gets recorded it helps your mixing you listen to them
and if you know you can do certain mixes better them we try to
Believe me ther ARE people out here that listen to newer dj's mixes. Look at me. I get somewhere around the number of a hundred people that download my sets. They never get in touch, but I can tell from my server that, that many people do download my sets. Plus it's helped me to get on a couple internet radio programs. So keep plugging away, it's one of the only ways a dj can help to get known these days.
There use to be a DJ/ Producer section on this board... I guess they did away with it because it wasn't too popular.. I also tried posting a few mixes on here a while back, but everytime I would get like 10 views so I dont even bother anymore. People grab mixes from the names they know because they dont want to waste their time... myself included. Why download a mix from DJ unknown when I can get one from Desyn where I know its good. My point is there are a ton of DJs on here.... and if there was a member's sets section, I doubt it would do too well except for a few DJs who have built their reputation on this board or who posts so much that people know their name.
i dont have my own decks, so i rarely record anything. and i dont have anything to record with when i play out. i have recorded a few demos but since i dont have decks it's really hard to get my friend's so let me spin for an hour straight without allowing any one else a chance to drop a track. that being said, of the promos i have recorded every one has one mix that i am not pleased with, and i cant redo it, therefore, i dont post them online. i'll only post a promo that is flawless technically in my eyes. hopefully in the future i will get some CDJ's of my own so i can record things a lot more..
Well don't just hit up this board, there are plenty of people on the bedrock board too. Along with soo many other music forums out there. Keep pushing along!

I'm sure you know who Danny Howells, Villo, and Chris Fortier are right? Well I have heard mixes from all three of them and more that are "Professional Dj's" and they tend to fuck up just as others with not as much experience do. It's all about being human. If your mix is too perfect it won't have the same feel as if there is a little glitch in one or two spots.
i agree with you completely, i guess i'm just self conscious about it! i guess i should get over it because i;'m sure i have a few fuck ups in my live sets as well. i just want one mix that is technically sound over-all.
would anyone want in the Promo section a sub-section where us members can post our own mixes freely to download..and it would be only for such?
I only ask because I and others who post them now get bumped out pretty quckly because of the (overall) large amounts that get posted in there nowadays...

That does sound like a good idea. I know what you mean about those guys who post sets online all the time of this and that dj. And those of us who are trying to get OUR mixes heard get bumped down to the second page in a matter of hours.
making your own mix is a lot easier than you think. a pc is all you need. just run the rca's from your mixer to your pc, record it using a program like cool edit (that's what i use), and that's it. when you're done, just save it as wav or convert it to mp3 right then to save space. it sounds really good and you won't find noise like you might expect recording into "only" a pc. you won't even need a special audio card.

Ive noticed many grab sets from the Promo's & Recommendations and it's all filled with well known dj from around the world etc.
but who here actually mixes and tapes their own on DAT or PC?.
I know many of us are just music lovers and dont actually mix or have the equipment for it. Maybe there should be another section for board member sets or something.
is there a special mp3 player out on the market that makes dj-ing easier? is there something special about iRiver h320 (just seems like another harddrive mp3 player to me). and i'm not talking about the stanton-ipod dj dock that has horrible reviews and renders it pretty much useless (you can't control pitch!)

having just got my iRiver h320... i fucking love it. used it on new years eve and got a good 5 hours worth. (i had to ditch the recording tho cos the cdj's were fucked)
the whole thing sounded great. sound quality is just what you need.
as far as recording my shows, i use a PC and sound forge. works like a charm everytime.

I guess this is the overall answer I was looking for; Thanks! It would be cool like someone else said, to have a different section in the Promos place for regular MS members to post thier stuff, so it doesn't get bumbed to the 3rd page in an hour...
I think some of us get intimidated by whats on there; so why even bother. But if there was a particular section; well that would be different.
