I did have some guy come up twice and ask me to play some hip hop, and then some rock band... and another guy i didnt even know took pics of the cdj's i was using, i think he was mesmerized by the centre piece whirring around and around.
I also had another random person cheering me on beside the dj booth, at least the support was nice haha.
it gets interesting when you're in that booth eh? |
Don't you love the people that come by and shake your hand and stuff?
Gives you the fuzzys |

| Yeah, the best is when someone comes by and compliments you up there. Great feeling. |

HA!
Once some wasted mother****** came over and threatened to "disconnect all my " if I didn't "play some reggeaton" so he could "get all touchy-feely with some bitches"...
The same night, I got a girl who was mesmerized by what I was doing and asked me if I let her try one transition. Funny thing is she knew her since she begged me to play "Xpander". I had to politely tell her she couldn't mix a song in, but I did drop Xpander to close my set. :)
And also I found the Deep Dish story very funny because earlier that night, during the first hour of my set I had some geeks walk over trying to get all 'conoseiur' and asked if I had any Deep Dish.
Ah, what a night...lol |

so question time... back in the bedroom today i started learning to beatmatch inside the headphones and then bring in the cued track with eq'ing, which is all good n cute, works like a charm. but in the club environment, cant i just do this also?
I know the monitor is good if im keeping an eye on the sound levels being kosher whilst mixing between tracks, but do i need the monitor at all for beatmatching or can i just do it in my headphones and turn the booth monitor down whilst doing so? |

What headphones do you have? My MDR-V500's are in isolating external sound... |

I've always wondered this.
For those of you who play out, do you get irritated with people complimenting you after your set? Would you rather just be left alone to enjoy the party, or maybe given a simple handshake or "the nod?"
Sometimes I see it as people just trying to be affiliated with the DJ, because it seems they don't know about what's going on while he's spinning. |

Yeah that's the worst, when someone tries to get your attention DURING a transition. :whip: |
