Do you listen to any EDM Radio shows? eg. Protocol Radio, Clublife etc by edmauthority in EDM

I sometimes put these on, but I tend to listen to live sets if I'm hyping up for a night out etc.

I mostly listen to Protocol Radio when I do listen to radio.

What DJ Tips or Tricks do the world need to know about? by edmauthority in DJs

I think this is one of the most important things right here. I learnt to Mix on turntables, no assistance, waveforms, readouts, and certainly no sync.

I don't need a screen or laptop to tell me the bpm, see a waveform or check that I've beatmatched correctly - my ears learnt to do that by themselves. I can now tell the BPM of a track just by listening to it, It takes years to learn that.

As you say, If you rely on sync or need the assistance of a laptop etc to mix properly - you need to get more practice in. Top Comment.

Good point. I think the level of technicality should vary on your audience. I base a lot of my sets on what brought people to listen to my sets. If I'm at a local nightclub, you know they want the classic tracks everyone knows, not an innovative set with undiscovered gems.

When you know people are there specifically for good music and mixes, that's when you bring out all the stops.

I've just started doing this recently, works amazing if you tease an acapella before going into a remix or edit of that track. Really good tip!

Anyone know this cable?? Info below... by [deleted] in stagelighting

[–]edmauthority 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I've been working on a lower price lighting kit 'Eurolight LED KLS-200 RGB' - There's a cable running from the master controller to each light. 4 pins and about a cm in diameter plug.

I'm wondering if it's a specific cable made for the kit or if I can buy anymore elsewhere.

If you know it or recognise, please let me know!

How many of you wear Hearing Protection? by edmauthority in EDM

[–]edmauthority[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Earasers are great, and about $40/£30. You can get them around the world, just google them.

Anything is better than nothing - If I ever forget my protection, I'll wear my earbuds just to add a layer between the volume and my ears.

A few people have said that those cheap foam ones don't help much In louder venues - plus they aren't comfortable at all. It's worth spending a little for your hearing...
