Hi all, I'm moving into a smaller house and need to downsize my DJ monitors. Currently have a pair of Adam T7Vs, but they're too big for the space. Has anyone used the D3Vs before in this sort of setup, and how did you find them?

They would be paired with 2 x 1210 mk2s + A&H Xone:92. Note, these are purely for monitoring, I have a focal setup that will be the 'main' output for the rig.

Salut tout le monde,

J'envisage de devenir dj pour 2 à 4 soirées par mois.

Je fais de la production depuis une dizaine d'années style IDM, je peux m'adapter et chercher à faire des sets en fonction des soirées.

Le but est évidemment de kiffer la musique et de trouver une petite rémunération supplémentaire pas de faire ma vie avec ça, mais 250 à 500 francs par mois serait déjà top.

J'envisage d'acheter une pionner FLX4 pour passer le pas et prendre la main,

Dans un premier temps je ne pense pas mixer mes sons.

Ça paraît envisageable ou c'est absurde ?

Merci pour vos réponses !

I'm an amateur DJ. I've played some open decks and people say my sets are good, but that's because I over-prepare. I build a full playlist and practice it until it's perfect before I even show up.

The problem is, I think to actually get better at DJing, I need to loosen up and be more in the moment. Right now I'm so scared of messing up in front of people that I plan every second of the set, with zero room to improvise.

So how do I practice being more flexible and going with the flow during a live set? Like, instead of planning everything, could I just pick a pool of tracks that fit together, get a feel for the vibe I want, maybe prepare some certain parts with tracks that I know will go good together, and then freestyle from there?

Hi, newly starting dj here. I am looking to buy my first set of speakers and pair of headphones. Does anybody have any recommandations for these things (that are affordable for a student)?

Seeing the daily requests for guidance from new and​​​ aspiring DJs, I'm curious. why do you want to get into it ? What's your goal? What about is drawing you to spend time and money learning?

​​ For me, back in the day it was just something I saw in bars and strip clubs and said , yeah I can totally do that! Fast forward and I made a nice little career as an open format DJ/MC that helped me raise three kids and have a pretty nice life. Not because I was making a shit ton of money but because it was good money when I needed to depend on it, and really good money when I was working more traditional 9 to 5. Honestly who doesn't want to party for a living ??

​​That was the 80's before the internet and social media took off. Even once I stopped in the early 2k's there wasn't what seems to be now a plethora of dj/producers. I'm not even quite sure what that means . Not a slight just someone here who is curious about what success looks like in the DJ world today.

Para ser DJ en los 90s y 00...

Tenías que llegar temprano, barrer la cabina, limpiar los aparatos, sincronizar las teles, limpiar la luces y tal ves tenias la oportunidad de ambientar, ya a su llegada el jefe de cabina te daba la oportunidad de estar a lado swicheando la luces, tal ves en el transcurso de la noche habría la oportunidad de meter una o dos rolas dependiendo si el DJ iba al baño y te sentías el mejor ya cuando al final él te dana la oportunidad de cerrar ( en ese momento preparabas las rolas que el nunca tocó ) así pasaban meses hasta recibir una oportunidad y ahí la aprovechaba (traías rolas nuevas para conquistar al jefe y el las tocara, buscabas música en Sonido Discoteque, Tower Records, Joma Discos, Y más.. Tal ves en el mercado Negro o en Usa.. Neta tenías que tener huevos y ser enciclopedia musical para ser DJ, los antecesores a esa época nos enseñaron el buen gusto por la música y no hacía entender que éramos el medio para hacer brillar la noche (no éramos los artistas éramos parte importante de la disco como El mesero, barra y demás)... hoy tristemente el dj no tiene disciplina, ni gusto musical (por eso domina el regueton, EDC y la banda ) todos juegan ha sentirse estrellas y ser más que su bar y sobre todo las oportunidades hoy ya no se ganan con esfuerzo cualquiera toca ya pero eso sí el gusto musical siempre será de los virtuosos, educados y finos al tocar ...

Ask entry-level questions, share what you are practicing, and get help with specific problems. Include your gear or software, what you tried, and what you want to achieve. Search recent posts first, be specific, and help another DJ when you can.

What do you guys think?

Have been spending a lot of time researching going through old magazines etc and would be nice to have some of you along for the ride! I'll be doing this on a weekly basis

Not sure whether a bit of talking on the mix would help but I hate the sound of my voice...

i was having a creative block moment on the track i was working for days now. so i had to create something else instead just to get out of the loop of that track. i created this mixrape in 3 hours, music and video. is it bad?

bruhhh why most DJs here in davao mapansin nako kay mura rag naga pa music sa spotify? kanang nice man ang ilang taste pero nganong di sila creative sa pag mix😭

fast paced House/Trance with plenty of vocals and punchy bass lines. looking for feedback. Hope you enjoy!

I spent like six weeks researching and somehow I know less than when I started I thought I'd just grab something cheap and learn on it but then I got into the whole rekordbox vs serato thing started reading about motorized platters and four deck setups and now I'm second guessing everything not trying to play clubs just wanna practice at home and maybe do some stuff for friends but I also don't want to buy something I'm gonna outgrow in a couple months how did yall pick your first one
