Those little earbud headphones are really cool...

you just gotta watch out that you don't turn the volume up on them to high, cos they could blow up right into your brain and give you brain damage.

it would have been a good idea to spell "sonic" properly before registering on form & kaos.

Djing isn't for everyone don't forget.

Fuck the idea of it being cool, cause chances are your never going to get out of your bedroom.

Very true, espicially with everyone in vancouver that is getting started. There will be too many dj's, and by the time that happens im off somewhere else playing.

and frogprincess.

Im pretty sure that after the first month of spinning you'll be back on F&K on the classifieds section selling your new decks for a hell of a lot less than what you got them for.

lalala, i just got a dm3002EX and a gemini XL 300!

now i need records... :375:

it's hard to mix chuck berry with elvis...

NinjaBoy · #18 (**permalink**) Dec 20, 01

xl 300?

If it's anything like the gemini 500 xl's the needle will skip when you scratch

tape a penny onto the headshells.

Pegasus · #19 (**permalink**) Dec 20, 01

i don't think i'll scratch for a while... and besides, i tried it out (scratching) and it didn't skip...

i'm not expecting to do any gigs anytime soon... i'm just practicing.

and plus, the only way to get booked is if someone (whoever) listens to one of your sets, or knows that you are good and wont sound shitty...

you would think that, but more often then not, it's not true.

I'd recommend you start a crack addiction insteaad, in the long run it'll probably be cheaper.

well, I went to DJ school over Christmas, and they taught me how to spin.

You take one song, and then blend the next one in- so you can't tell. It's hard! You have to listen to the beats so that they are the same.

Try "Sandstorm" into "Feel the Beat" They work every time.

Good point! For all the efert/time and MONEY!(yes too much money) the fame and glory doesnt realy make up for it.

If your gonna spin, its gotta be a hobby that you LOVE and would do even if you where never to go anywhere with it. You still have to keep your day job. And NEVER GIVE UP! Its too easy to get frustrated with dj'ing, you need a LOT of persitence.

One of the main reasons i started dj'ing was to have somthing else to to besides watch tv. HAHA and for the music of couse.
