      RCA cords - i’ve had gigs where they’ve saved me from not being able to patch into the master.
      Also a pre-recorded mix in every genre locally on your laptop in the event that you need to stall for time

      Mini controller and laptop or tablet/phone and required cables. If the house system has catastrophic failure, I have a complete mini/portable setup ready to go in my backpack.

    I am sure we as DJ's carry several mixes on our phone its always good to bring a adapter to connect your phone to the mixer in case you computer starts acting up.

    These days I would never rely on a club/bar/pub's house gear unless I have seen it that day beforehand. Dusty, sticky and who knows what the last DJ did to it beforehand. For the last 3 years, I have been bringing my own controller to all gigs (first as a backup, and then just started using it for all my sets) and no venue has ever had a problem with it. If they want you on at prime time, they will let you play on whatever you want. The only time I don't use my rig, is if I'm opening for a big name and then YOU KNOW the venue has brought in top tier gear for the night. As long as you're using a pro controller (Rane Performer, Pioneer Rev7, etc.) the sound will not suffer and switching out the house xlrs from a club mixer to your controller mains takes 1 min.

    Very rarely have I ran into a bar/club gig that has a house set up here in Texas. I'm not primarily a club DJ but I've never even seen anyone with a house set up. You should definitely try to be prepared though.

    Couple you missed; for turntables, a stylus/needle brush. Nothing worse than the record skipping or not tracking because a wad of dust is stuck on the stylus. Similarly, a record cleaning brush. If you actually play 45s, your own 45 adapters.
    For CDJs, not one, but two thumb drives in case the CDJ's aren't properly networked (or the first usb stick has a problem).
    Under miscellaneous: A good water bottle. Yeah, you shouldn't have liquids around the booth, but it is great having a bottle with a lid to stay hydrated and safe.
    Lastly, a pack of gum and a granola bar/candy bar.

    I jumped right from CDJs (with real CDs) to a controller. How do those control CDs work? I have two Pioneer CDJ 800MK2. Can I use them with my 1000SRT controller? Do I need DVS? Thanks.

    • @NickSpinelli
      @NickSpinelli  12 дней назад

      @@DayNNyteDJs I believe you can use them with your controller as the mixer. Control cds have a tone just like DVS - very similar

  • @FlipThisHobby
    @FlipThisHobby 13 дней назад

    Couple of other pro tips:
    For thumb drives, I would also add the tone control files in it. Just in case the cd’s doesn’t read.
    And for laptop users, it’s also good to keep audio drivers of the popular mixers, so Serato/Rekordbox/VDJ doesn’t have to download it.
    Firmware drivers too.. I’ve seen multiple “dj’s” ended up not spinning because the drivers were not installed.
    Long story short, it’s always better to be overprepared specially when it’s your first time in that location!

    It’s also worth mentioning that your stick has to be exported from rekordbox. Just having your music files on the stick isn’t going to work.
    Awesome video like usual. Thank you for the idea of printing stickers.

    Hey listen this is gonna sound 🤓 but screen / lens wipes. Especially for those of us with glasses, you never know when you’re gonna accidentally schmutz your peepers and not be able to see the beat grid. Not only that, it keeps your laptop or CDJ screens looking fresh, and even adds a smidge of sanitation if you saw the DJ before you blowing snot rockets on the crossfader or whatever 😂
