[QUOTE="DJRefixdnb, post: 503895, member: 30496"] theres an open decks thing in birmingham every wednesday, one of Artjom's (Mutated Forms) mate runs it, and Artjom being the safe guy he is has sorted me n my mate booked sets on em, but fuck me, both times now there has been problems with the cdj's and the 1st time i took both vinyl and cd for this reason (although normally its the vinyl decks that are too fucked to use in clubs). the cdj's kept randomly stopping mid tune, we could only think either a wiring porblem in the cdj or the bass vibrate making the start/stop button knock on / off. seemed abit odd how only the one cdj kept doing it. Bigups to Tom and Artjom, but fuck me the setup 1st time was shocking. lastnight went again for the 2nd one and the setup was beautiful! but alas one the cdj1000 that was there was Kut D's, and he was leaving, and the other cdj's around wer an 800, an axis 4 and a pair of those SHIT stanton cdjs. i couldn't do my set as all my cd's wer MP3 JUKEBOX cd's, and the only 2 standard audio cd's i had i let my mate rinse b4 my set cuz all his are mp3's too. our fault for thinking that they would be the same as last time, or that they'd be mp3 compatable. my point is it doesnt matter where u play, who's on the bill with ya, equipment can be dodgey, even if its been looked after like it's made of gold. if possible, try taking both media's when u play out, theres no way u can guarentee going to someone elses night to play a set and it being able to walkin n get a mix on, once you've been out and played a few different venues you'l get used to it. the 1st 5 / 10 mins can be abit of hell gettin used to the mixer, monitors, decks, etc. but after that you should feel like your mixing on ur own setup again!
