How to Set Up in a Club
Many of you out there are new to the game and starting to get gigs with your digital dj equipment. As a few readers have pointed out, frequently that gear does not really mesh well with the bread and butter setups clubs have installed. Showing up and plugging in equipment can be a nerve racking affair to begin with but if there is one thing MORE scary- its your first 30 dj gigs. So, if you want calm nerves and smooth sets with digital dj gear your going to need a game plan.
For the past 5 years I have setup my laptop, sound card and midi gear in hundreds upon hundreds of clubs around the world. From a traditional Tico dance hall in Costa Rica to techno clubs in Berlin, there was always a way to make it work. Here are a few helpful things I have learned upon the way.
DJ Tech Tools- Under Construction
Things are growing so fast around here that we need to invest some cash in the infrastructure. Over the next 2 weeks a great team from Australia will be adding some really cool stuff to the site. I am in Germany at the moment where in less than a week Dj Tech Tools will be taking a look at working models of all the exciting equipment that was shown at NAMM. Before Germany I was in Tokyo finalizing the firmware on my special edition VCI-100, and man am I excited. The functions rock and everything works really well!
