OMG IT'S JULIA!

Awesome Pix Drew... You rock!

Thanks, and as always. It was nice running into you.

Hehehe Did you happen to take any of Mauro's laptop? I wonder what he was using. I never seen him use a laptop before.

I think Mr. Ramirez has hit the age when it's time to consider a shorter haircut.

OMG, the music was so good last night! I tried to get there early to catch Ryan, but the venue was so hard to find, so we were a few mins late. But D.Ramirez was really good! Then Mauro played a similar style as him (nice tech house), but better and with his own flavor. I didn't even recognize one track Mauro played. It's crazy how is style COMPLETELY changed from when I first discovered him.

Thanks for the pics Drew... and Woody, please post the pics you took with your camera! Thanks for going with us to Denny's after wards.

He was using an older version of Traktor.

On that note, with the prevalence lap tops being used it can actually be quite a task switching between DJ's. Had I known they were both going to be using two different versions of mixing programs (D.Ramirez was using Serato) I would have just played CD's. It's really not ideal unless the infrastructure is built and ready to go. I just happen to have a couple of cd's in my bag that I brought as back up and had I not had that we would have had to shut down the sounds completely for the exchange. I had to randomly throw on a song on the fly and mix out so we could do the swap in a relatively timely manner... hahaha.

I just found out that the issue Dubfire was having with Traktor on Wednesday, he actually didn't have back up CD's as I had originally thought. Rather his assistant was burning his track list for him on the fly on some blank CDR's. My oh My

Anyway, great musical night by two of thej nicest DJ's I have met.

Yeah switching laptops can be a bitch even if both DJ's are using the same software. I learned that a long time ago but you get used to it and than it becames a piece of cake. I use Serato and I always carry emergency CD's with me. I even burned my own timecode CD's with extra songs on them just incase of a crash. If a crash happens, bam just switch the songs on the CD. That happened to me at Spundae once and lucky I had just made those CD's. That saved my ass.

LOL that's why I still spin 8 Track Tapes!

No real way around that switch either unless you have 2 mixers. Djing has become so complicated. If only we all just stuck to vinyl
Or at least cds

lol 8 tracks. Was there ever a time that DJ's would spin with cassette tapes? (I take it DJ's would still spin w/ records before CD's and not mess w/ the low quality of tapes).

I doubt the cassette players, all in the 80's and 90's the dj's were playing vinyl.

So i think it went from vinyl to cd's...
