there should be a small space before the second track. a good way to find it is play the first track then see where it ends and where the second track starts up. Its great that u are finally getting to spin. Congrats dude. Fun aint it .

Right on man, congrats! Good luck!

Use GruvGlide to clean records, best stuff out there.

Cover your Dxm at ALL times when not in use.

Dino, how long did your dxm last before the faders started dieing?
Did you cover yours?

ive had mine for over a year and its still ok

itll all seem easier later on...give it a good 2 months till u actually like what u mix.....b4 that ull just b gettin frustrated cuz ur 2nd song doesnt match ur 1st one's beats or u didnt eq it properly or the 1st song ended b4 u even started fading....stuff like that ull just hav to go thru....as we all do!

since u posted this thread....i think i should ask djs out thre to give some pointers on how to mix....itll b helpful to all the newbies

for me personally...i put the next track on cue with gain half way down, mid level all the way down....the low and hi up....that way i can hear the kick and snare properly without the distraction of other sounds
then i give it a little scratch(2nd record) and try to match the kicks so it doesnt sound awkward....when thas ready...i turn the low all the way down so the bass doesnt overpower the 1st song.....and when its time to mix..take the headphones off ....get rid off the cue and get the mid to slowly come in...then gain...and then gain out the other song and finally touch it up with the bass comin in from the second song.....not to mention the use of the sliders

anyone else has a comment?

congrats my man we have another addition to the djing famly remember most of all have fun and dont use & abuse treat your equipment right and it will do what you want it to do.

the positive side to djing is FREE DRINKS + WOMEN + MONEY = Very Happy!!!!!!!!!!

About 14 months qand now i have no faders.. just a leaky crossfader.

Yet even with these... handicaps, I'm still able to throw it down well, just have had to change my style a bit.. This can be verified by my latest demo, which will be up by monday afternoon...

Im gonna get it fixed locally by an electrician..

I unfortunately didn't cover it all the times.. and the places ive been living are REALLY fucking dusty..

Its my fault i suppose, but it still bit some dust pretttty quickly..

Hmmm sounds like when I first got a pair of tables as well. I couldn't figure out how to put the cartridge on for the longest time.\


Don't forget about 'Traffic' by Tiesto

i bought tiesto - ur (junkie xl remix)..thas a sick record! on the other side is tear in the open (leama and moor) i dont like the leama and moor one...but UR sounds nice
