The mix and Dj sig

[djem]

This year at Eurofurence will take place a SIG for all the DJ's of the furry fandom, but it will also offer everyone a small explanation of the basics on how to mix tracks and how to work as a DJ.

First part of the SIG will take between 30mins and 1 hour. The show will be recorded and shown on a beamer for better understanding.

- How DJ material works and how to set it up
- The time and beat count of a track
- How to match 2 different tracks together

Second part will be more practical and consisting in a mix between DJs and visitors :
Everyone is invited to bring his dj setup, show their material, exchange music, show their mix techniques ect.... Of course, it is also open to people just having questions, wanting to try to mix for the first time or just wanting to have fun

Dammit, I wanted to do that next year  
I'll definitely attend - as long as it doesn't overlap with my SIG

Will you bring your CDJs with you? I've wanted to see how they feel since I'm "only" a software DJ (I've reached what I can do with software alone, I'm currently waiting for the Reloop Digital Jockey 2).

[djem]

Yep, the stuff on the list is the one that we take along to EF with us

[nifelan]

Nice, I'm looking forward to the SIG

[Zefiro]

The show will be recorded and shown on a beamer for better understanding.

As in "prerecorded and available after EF to download"? That would be nice :)

*purrrr*

[djem]

Yes for sure I can record everything and put it online after

Add :

Wikke - Pionner djm 500 / CDJ 100s *2 - Trance

[nifelan]

I can bring my laptop with a very old Home Edition of Virtual DJ, to show how you can get easily started when you don't want to spend a lot of cash
Edit: My Music would be: Electronic House, Happy Hardcore and a little Psytrance

[djem]

Okay, I put you on the list

[Skie]

Hmm, I only know how to use Virtual DJ. I would be happy to learn a bit about real gear, or get more Virtual DJ tips

I might consider bringing my laptop as well, and play with it a bit, got the newest Virtual DJ on it.

[djem]

You are really welcome to join us

[Skie]

You are really welcome to join us

Oh defiantly will.

[nifelan]

A little update: I'll bring my Reloop Digital Jockey 2 (Interface Edition) with Traktor 3 (LE) with me

[djem]

Okay Cool

[djem]

Just a simple question : How can bring with them some little PA speaker ? And a microphone ?

[Jaryic]

The Hotel has a mobile PA system and mickrophone.

Please contact Riffuchs, so he can arrange for these things to appear at your pannel.
