Don't use a laptop. It'll overheat and especially with winblows, you should just use the CDJ's

I don't have my own...and I will use a desktop PC instead...

actually when I accepted it, I counted with the fact that a friend will borrow me his...unfortunately he needs 'em for his own gig :-( so I'm a bit fucked up :-/

P.S.: Pls don't start throwing stones at me :-( I am not a DJ and that's what my equipment is like :-(

Thank you!

here's a hint instead of mixmeister...use winamp and enable the automix mode......

better yet....make a play list, let winamp play and then just pretend you're keeping busy...

i dont quite "get" what you are talking about.

your title is "first gig for a producer"

do you mean first DJ gig?


if so, dont use mixmeister, especially if it an industry party. they will laugh at you and it will be your last gig.

especially using a desktop.

I could be wrong, but I think Traktor beatmatches for you. Another program I have seen people use that I know beatmatches for you is Atomix.

download a demo and try it...it doesn't or better said it tries to beatmatch for you...but it slips and everything...

if I see the waveform like in ableton or MM i can beatmatch it way easier and it doesn't slip

if you don't know how to beatmatch, why did you accept a dj gig?

beatmatching is a fundamental skill involved with djing

especially if this is going to be an industry party like you said it was going to be

This saturday I'm gonna have a gig in front of about 2 hundred people it's meeting of an electronic community and as a part of it I was invited to play there...

yes, you're right...well I can beatmatch...but I still trainwreck...(sometimes)

and I want it to be precise...so I think MM or Live is the best...but I wanted to know your suggestions :-)

I'm already very sad that I accepted it :-(
