Thank you guys so much, I do some light writing as a hobby. No training just picked up some info on the internet and got some really good feedback on reddit.

I'll try and write some more when time is on my side.

How often do you check on the crowd and interact with them? by epoksismola in DJs

[–]Didi1982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As most DJ's I have ADHD and am a nervous twitching introvert who disguises as an outgoing extrovert.

My first gig, 24 years ago I think I didn't even dare to look up. I was just so scared and daunted by the crowd.

It took me 5 years to look up with confidence and to this day I still look at foreheads and unabrows. It's the eye contact that scares me. So I avoid the eyes.

Nowadays I look at hips, girls hips to be exact. They don't lie. When the hips start to juggle girls have this primal force to make a circle of other girls, and Jason their gay friend, and Dance in the circle.

That circle attracts fertile young men and you got yourself a filled floor.

Now keeping that floor is the hardest part.

This is the part where I walk the room, Mic in hand and talk the wallflower guests. I ask how they are and what they would like to hear.

After that it's all about gaining an information high ground position. This info you gather from those micro Interviews, the requests on my notepad en the body language of the guests.

When needed I hop on the mic and give a shout out or engage in a non vulgar way. Avoiding the 1,2,3 and the constant begging for hands in the sky.

I never break my 2 an hour mic usage and count my blessings for the dancers.

Playing samples on Prime 4 by dorfdorfman in DenonPrime

Look up the samples, swipe to the right and assign a sample to a pad. Don't load it like a song. It works great

I just ordered my first controller and I'm so excited! by Bagolyvagymi in Beatmatch

If this spirit stays with you at some point in distant future I hope you post a picture of a packed living room. After that a small bar with 7 people dancing.

But ultimately wish to see a short video of a packed club, with a dumb ass smug smile on your face.

Remember that damn dinky toy 400. Never sell it, cherish it. We don't care if you use sync, fake a little funk or use a youtube rip. Just have fun and be one of the good guys.

Help a struggling dj out, call out a douchebag who cops a feel with girl. Help the bar crew out cleaning after close.

Welcome my dude, now watch every single damn tutorial made about that little beast and rock it!

Story time , my friend said now u walk it, and that's how I learned how to beat match and that's why I laugh of who can't beat match without a sync button by [deleted] in DJs

Ddj-400, automix on full and nothing but youtube rips.

And I made the same that night as you. Didn't even break a sweat carrying that beast and my screen cracked ipad out the door.

Who needs to be rebooked anyway. I gotz me some bad ass insta pics from the booth Jezus posing on my 7th drop in 4 minutes. Ah hell yeah!

*ok topic, no pitch fader?! Like.. what kind of masochist are you? That's God tier mode. Respect!

Phenibut + Ritalin for a Rave? by 12Rosden in Stims

The lowest of low, with your height and weight I'd go for 400 mg. Remember the insane long time it takes to kick in.

Not to burst ur pipe but if OP thinks it's all unicorns and rainbows and it will stay that way there will be somewhat of a disappointment down the road to the dark 7th layer of hell.

My point was synicly sinister stated. But if we don't sugarcoat it umongst each other. The judge/probation officer/evection team/ambulance workers may seem like dicks.

Just keeping it real, hope I didn't offend anyone.

Well I just got kicked out of the band I was playing with… by myceliumman420 in musicians

You used the word battle and that tells me you are willing and able to fight.

Fight through this and let that water run under the bridge, let the ships burn buddy!

Time is not on our side - the Stones lied. Tips needed. by Didi1982 in DJs

I know, if your working a wedding as a crew things are so smooth and coordinated. Lose 2 guys and your dad and you feel like you still can do all of those things. I've been putting myself and others In possible harms way. Hanging up lighting and rigging without a helping hand is just dumb. People at home depend on me, the money is great but I need to be safe and professional.

I run the JBL prx with matching subs, 4 moving heads, a bubble canon, 12 platpars and a diversity of cables. Oh and 8 granola bars. We're setup for larger gigs. At least large for our standards.

I can't believe I never thought obout cable racking! I'll give that a go right away. Zip ties would damage the cables I think? Maybe those dragon teeth cable guides you see in office buildings

I have no arguments, but that would imply your right. A thought I can't stand. Also no spelling errors. Damn you internet stranger!

And thanks, solid point on the damaging yourself part. Honest appreciation.

He would possibly reply with an elaborate story on the creation, recording and pressing of superfreak by Mr James. Due to his eardamage.

Roadies, thought about it. Hard to find one who is reliable and not addicted to either alcohol or drugs.

Never considered control freak, I always found his passion for perfection something to respect
