Outside of video games, boy did I drop some dumb coin on DJ equipment during college. That, and I sucked at mixing, scratching, and spinning. If I ever did anything close to awesome, it was mixing a Halloween album with Prodigy on Vinyl, which was basically Prodigy with "Boos!" and wolf howls. BUT! I did manage to ruin several record needles, piss off my Father by doing so, and that was enough inspiration to be a better DJ.Hobie-wan wrote:Haha yeah, so many people in general that don't understand levels. I was making a mixtape from my vinyl a long time ago and finding the loud spots in the song and adjusting the level with the monitor and my friend asked me why I wasn't setting it to where the meter was filling all the way up.J T wrote:*talking about levels*
Turns out I should stick to the piano.
That in mind, I really, really respect actual DJ's on turntables. Not the cd kind of turntables, like, actual DJ's. That's a skill, only learned at that. Being average at DJ'ing is just that, average, but like a comedian, the ones who can connect with a crowd is something amazing to see. Nothing like a really nerdy kid who turns out to mix the Beastie Boys with Aphex Twin and makes the crowd go crazy.
