exactly

your average gig is anywhere from 1-3 hours long. Why would you need to bring 500+ tracks?

I spin house music so i'm using house music in this example but, maybe you expect to play for a crowd that likes more of the dark twisted type stuff so you pack your binder with that, but when you get there the crowd is more commercial/funky and don't like the twisted stuff you packed. Bringing all your music allows you to be more flexible.

True but you don't need to bring 3000 tracks with you everytime.

Latest Mix

10 till 12 tracks on a cd and i only write the most used tracks on the cd

Oddly enough I'm going to use CDs tonight. I'm going to steal some of the methods on here for burning.

Latest Mix

i burn one track to a CD unless i have remixes of that same track...

each track should deserve enough respect to be on its own CD

and it does feel more like vinyl....and CDRs are so cheap, so why not?

as far as arranging my CDs, i haven't fallen into a groove w/that yet....now i have them loosely organized by when i downloaded them...

got cdj 200s there recently and was just looking for some advice on how to burn my cds.

How do other people do it? I dont mean amount of tracks on the cd.


Do you do it by artist, genere, label? IF by artist what do you do with remixes?

for example, sasha and emerson - scorchio(sander klienenburg mix), would this go in with sasha tracks or sander ones?


Not too sure which way i should do it. So any advice on what other people found easist would be great.


Cheers.

So this must be why i see some big name dj's (armin, ferry , tiesto) and other with one or two of those big ass cd cases. i bet they only have one song per cd also with everything on it like title, remix bpm and key. like one said there is not any reason to carry 3000 songs around.

I burn as a vinyl, if I have remixes of that song I put them on the same, no song goes under 192kb/s and 44100Hz, then I write a label either on the CD's or in my cd-wallet.

When I buy my tracks I usually get 2-3 from the same artist... which in turn I will burn those tracks from that artist to CD..

So, as an example from my last purchase..

- Astral Projection - Time Began With The Universe (End of Time Remix)
- Astral Projection - People Can Fly (Original Mix)
- Astral Projection - Utopia (Original Mix)

^^ One CD.. AXL was added because it is the only track I have and its an A.

- Mekkanikka - Let Go (Original Mix)
- Oforia - Dragon Ball (Original Mix)
- Oforia vs Onyx - Adrenalin (Original Mix)
- Oforia vs Time Lock - Show No Mercy (Original Mix)

^^Another CD.. Same reason for Mekkanikkda

- Tristan - Small Paper Squares (Original Mix)
- Younger Brother - Magic Monkey Juice (Original Mix)

^^I haven't burnt these yet.. Looking for some other stuff by the artists.

I always burn my songs one song per CD (unless I have both mixes or two rediculously similar tracks) and I always bring my entire collection (2 CD cases).

I get most of my tracks from Play It Tonight.
