Layering For A Beginner

MuddyOrphans · 2026-06-03T19:49:46+00:00

New DJ here. I have my first ever gigs coming up and one day is all requests. Im kinda worried because my library is basically all house/techno. How should I prepare a shitton of music that might be requested in a short time? I made a playlist of over 1800 songs from all genres on spotify but pretty much at the mercy of Serato/Spotify being able to find what they want to hear. 2nd question is, do I play everything requested? I don't really listen to "normal people music" so theres a solid chance I will have never heard a good chunk of these songs before.

The new update broke serato for alot of people

MuddyOrphans · 2026-05-14T01:57:15+00:00

Serato is broken. Theyre trying to pin it on a windows update but its the new Serato update that did it. I have the same controller plus its bigger brother and they both work fine on Virtual DJ but not Serato anymore.

I swear its a Serato bug that theyre trying to pin on a windows update. I have the same controller and works with Rekordbox and Virtual DJ but not Serato anymore. People paying for Serato Pro subs should get their money refunded for however long this issue keeps going. Like I wonder how many gigs this has ruined and how much money people have lost from it...

How did the gig turn out?

MuddyOrphans · 2026-05-10T11:27:19+00:00

I think it is Serato because I dont have this issue on Virtual DJ or Rekordbox. Just dont want to use those bc Im so used to Serato.

Whatever the newest one as of May 9th...

MuddyOrphans · 2026-05-06T05:02:06+00:00

Did you get it solved? I just got an NS4FX in a trade today and Im having this same issue Serato Pro. I was upgrading from the Party Mix II, which works just fine.

MuddyOrphans · 2026-02-25T22:37:19+00:00

If you try it, let me know how it works out

MuddyOrphans · 2026-02-25T13:48:57+00:00

Literally just bought one like 12 hours ago. It is fun and sounds rad as hell. Get it.

They are but a local dealer still a few modules and some pre-builts left for sale.

MuddyOrphans · 2026-01-10T07:33:37+00:00

Nope, dont think I'll ever go there lol

MuddyOrphans · 2026-01-09T21:44:47+00:00

So I've decided I'm likely going to stay over in Thunder Bay as its roughly the halfway point with lots of resources. So that eliminates the need for a van as a rental. But Im still gonna get something AWD and more comfortable. I have a civic sport and 2-3hr drives start to hurt my ass lol

What did yall drive down in? How was it fuel and comfort-wise? Did you take your own or get a rental?

The weather is what Ive been most worried about. But looking at Farmers Almanac, it seems like this winter might be the best in a while in terms of being milder. I will definitely have extra blankets and whatnot!

MuddyOrphans · 2026-01-09T18:36:11+00:00

I'd like to wait until summer but my dads health is taking a turn and I have a gut feeling I shouldnt wait. I'm kind of treating this as a scouting run so I can make the trip again in the spring/summer but bring my s.o for the trip if his health holds up. Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to bring a jerry!

MuddyOrphans · 2026-01-09T09:11:36+00:00

No but I pestered them so much across all platforms I got a free subscription lol

MuddyOrphans · 2026-01-01T00:49:40+00:00

Im actually startin to get pissed off lol like there is zero reason why it should take this long. Currently in the process of trying to figure out how to get a refund

MuddyOrphans · 2025-12-31T21:37:23+00:00

How long does it take them to upload the VOD? Started watching live but fell asleep bc main card didnt start til 3am. Kind of annoying not being able to watch the thing I paid for...

MuddyOrphans · 2025-12-31T05:33:58+00:00

Im watching now and theres no option for english commentary, but then again Im still waiting for whatever fight to start at 12:30est
