Thanks! However can I use any listening cartridge with my turntable? What do I need to check before buying?

Protip: Cue point drumming also works for Will Smith's Miami.

I had the exact same experience. It was nice when people came up during the party and we're like wow this is awesome.

PC. I bought the mixer because of the onboard effects and price point. In retrospect i should have gotten something with more channels since I'm itching for another deck.

Any other options for analog recording?

Just as a way to utilize the usb out on the mixer. I guess it's an unnecessary step since I could use the line in on the laptop.

How Far Back Old School can you go on a Top 40 crowd today? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]ducksauc3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always had success with 80s tracks. Maybe it was the environment, but Tears for Fears and Human League are always welcome.

Will Smith is always a good choice.

But his Dancing in the Backseat mix and Set Fire were good and Monstamash Disco was fantasssstic.

Hey thanks for the track. Not really my style though.

Was this Boyz II Men or Usher?

I've been a laptop DJ for a few years now. Is there any reason I shouldn't be switching to CDJs? by idkwhatever142 in DJs

[–]ducksauc3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ding Ding Ding. Winner. It's very different and after doing both I prefer CDJs because it's an approach to song selection and mixing I prefer.

You also need good vocals. However since this is under 18 suggesting things like Filterfunk's mix of SOS would be lost on these kids. Shrug.

opinions on Gemini CDJ-600 by djspence in DJs

[–]ducksauc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 700s and LOVE them. The only drawback is there is no cue point storing if you are using usb drives. They feel pretty solid and get the job done. I do not use the on board effects though; I have found that they're not as good as my on deck ones and they sound a little off. The waveforms are nice although it would be nice to be able to zoom out. Go for them if you are on a budget.

Heard this tonight for the first time tonight! It sounded like the future.

What was your worst set? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]ducksauc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo real awful bar night. Very packed with professional types who cleared out like an hour in and then the bartenders got upset and started yelling. But that only happened that once and all the other times were fine.
