    DJ Guide News - Early Edition for April '06
    "I just couldn't wait."

    New Forums at iDJOnDemand.com

    I started a DJ forum for iDJOnDemand.com members and visitors to The-DJ-Equioment-Guide.com. I know another DJ forum/message board but it was coming all along. It's still in its infancy but hopefully that won't last long.

    I'm looking these forums to be a place where the DJ community can help one another with equipment and tips. If you have any video tips or know of places online please share them in the forums. This is not a fly by night forum. It will be hear for the long haul and I need you to make that happen.

    There is a special affiliates section to get questions answered and to get help on promoting the DJ affiliate program. There are forums on dj gear reviews by manufacturer, general equipment sections such as 'tables, mixers etc...and more. We are looking for 100 affiliates per month to register. Click Here.

    If you have an idea for a forum just leave it in the Suggestions Forum.

    Do You Want To Be A Forum Moderator?
    I am looking for forum moderators also. If you would like to be a forum moderator please let me by contacting me. Click here.

    The purpose of the Forum Moderator is to keep threads or discussions posted in the proper forums and to make sure users are adhering to the forums rules. The rules are pretty flexible right now but are subject to change. Who knows I may contact you to moderate a forum.

    Need To Get An Answer Right Away?
    If you need an answer to a DJ equipment question or need a review of a specific piece of equipment post it on the forums. The more eyes that see it the more answers you may receive which may clarify things for you.

    I'll be populating reviews from The-DJ-Equipment-Guide.com in the DJ gear reviews forum. It will be easy to find the review you want since it is listed by DJ equipment manufacturer. Please post your own review even if you see one on the same piece of gear.

    The forums are open to all but registration is required. Please pass this along to your DJ friends.

    Register here for the iDJOnDemand.com and The-DJ-Equipment-Guide.com Forums

    DJ Mixes from 1994ish

    This is just a quick update for you.

    I forgot to mention in my newsletter that I found 2 mixes I did from 1993/1994. I don't remember which year exactly. I found them in a box that was buried in my garage. They must have been buried for years. I totally forgot about them.

    The reason why I wanted you to know this is because I wanted you to hear what my mixes sounded like when I was just learning how to do mixes.

    You can hear my armature mixing skills. Here is a short list of things I found wrong with these mixes.

    1. Songs play in there entirety this is a big no, no.

    2. I use the same instrumental twice in the same mix. Never do that.

    3. Transitions were sloppy between some songs.

    4. Beats did not match and I tried to fake it by pushing the record to give it more speed. Very sloppy technique if you don't know what you are doing.

    5. I bump the table and the record skips. Honest mistake but very amateurish.

    6. The end of the tape cuts the song off. Try to have your timing down so you don't cut the song off in the middle. CD's usually last an hour. Make sure you have you play list with times.

    7. An a host of other nuances that I heard. See if you can pick out some.
