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.
:happy2: |

| 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.

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 :D
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... |
