DJ'ing Rituals

This is an offspring of the DJ'ing buzz thread.

Just curious if you have any rituals you perform every time you spin? My three are as follows:

1. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS chew gum! Two pieces of Juicy Fruit.

2. Always turn right deck on first, then cd player, then left deck, then mixer, then monitors. At close of session it's always reverse.

3. Always reset pitches, gains, faders to original position.

One other thing I do is record to Minidisc and review my session while at the gym but, I don't consider that a ritual.

Interested to see what you other guys do.

hahaha interesting...

I turn on the mixer first, then the M3D (on the right), and the MK2.
Usually I just mix through the headphones but when I do use my speakers, they are turned on before or after everything else.

And yeah, most of the time I would reset the pitch and faders and knobs to default too~

No special chewing gum or mint yet... although I can see why that would be useful

I always wear shoes, if not then I can't mix for s*%t... maybe it has something to do with feeling the vibration of the bass through the floor... I also always wash my hands before I mix, can't think of anything else right now

My cueing always goes like this:

1. before bringing in tune new tune in headphones full vol

2. take off headphones bring in new tune

3. get pissed off cos I can still hear headphones and I'm not hearing exactly whats going out

4. turn down headphones vol

5. at some point not sure if it's out and want to hear whats going in

6. put on headphones (normally more hold them to my ear half hangging off) pissed off agin this time becuase headphones vol is off.

7. put up vol

8. listen to one beat.... guess what no help it's still in as always....

I do that whole thing every time!

ghey
