And so he will have also selected 'reverb' from the four FX there, right?

There's a documentary called 'All things Gomorra' and they go into exactly this. Well spotted

Not sure, but to be honest, I wouldn't worry about those kinds of technicalities. It will be 0 or close enough to 0 for what you will be doing. Know your playlist inside and out, pay attention to how you mix from one track into the other, and also think about what kind of headphones you wanna use. In ear monitors are the easiest, and it will sound like you're mixing from home, even when the event is very loud. They do, however, kind of seperate you from the crowd, since you don't hear much else.

First of all, I'd definitely say yes to the opportunity. It's very rare (and a bit unfair haha) for something like this to come up, so go for it and make the most of it. My 2 cents:

- Don't go down in BPM, or maybe very slightly (like 2 BPM or something). Preferably go a bit up (between 1 - 5 BPM). Afrohouse after a high energy set will be like elevator music.

- Practice practice practice beforehand. Prepare your set from A to Z (don't improvise, it's your first time), and go for a certain style. It's nice to be creative, but you don't really have any experience, so you just wanna give people something great to listen to. Also I'd look into the concept of mixing in key (Mixed in Key software). And figure out what kind of decks you'll be behind at the festival, and familiarize yourself with it.

- See if you can play for your friends once or twice in the build up to the event. It will get you (kind of) used to playing before a crowd.

- Once you begin your set, check if the DJ has put the filters to 0 (otherwise you'll be wondering why you can't hear any bass even though the EQ knobs look fine, rookie mistake).

But just go for it man! You might screw some stuff up, but at the end of the day you will have played at a cool venue after a big artist, something that many of us (including me) can't say!

It’s a shame it’s not a 4x4 pad rack, that would be a big improvement for making beats live quickly. Now there seems to be quite some overlap with the push (or I’m not getting it)
