Shitting It....

**DJ Corbzy** · 08-07-2003, 11:38 PM

Yes it's nearly time....11 days til my first set....

and I'M SHITTING IT!! :(

Anyone got any tips etc to get me through without cocking up?

Anyone know of any drugs that stop you shaking and calm you down? :)

**DJZeMig_L** · 09-07-2003, 12:19 AM

My tips go... have a good nights sleep, dress confortably (and fresh if needed), no drugs / alchool (at least b4 the set.. IMHO)... most importantly what ever the club situation make sure u enjoy every bit of what u r doing.. if u can have fun it will translate!!

get the person b4 you to run through the mixer if you have never used it b4 so you know where everything is - monitor/headphone vol etc

Im deaf as a post so I always need it LOUD hahahha

pick a mix to start with that you know well -

then just go with the flow & enjoy it :D

cheers people! :D

**Adverse** · 09-07-2003, 12:56 AM

just have fun.

Once you're on m8 you'll be fine, just relax.

Make sure the monitor is on is probably the most helpful advice I can give.

**herman** · 09-07-2003, 06:44 PM

like someone else said start with a mix or two that you are familiar with relax and enjoy it

**Voorheez** · 09-07-2003, 08:28 PM

If you do that you risk missing the point you usually mix from and then that can mess your first mix up, not leaving you much confidence for the rest of the set. I've seen this happen before, a couple of times actually. My advice would be to not plan anything, just go with the crowd.

**DJ Corbzy** · 09-07-2003, 10:57 PM

good point voorheez, but i am defo gonna plan mate, would be shitting it if i didnt :D

**djfase** · 09-07-2003, 11:20 PM

Yeah enjoy it man. When u see everyone else going mental aswell u will feel alot more relaxed. Good luck m8

**DJ Corbzy** · 09-07-2003, 11:24 PM

Cheers mate :D

**MARKEG** · 10-07-2003, 12:44 AM

i can remeber my first ever dj set in front of a crowd like it was yesterday - unfortunately things have totally changed since the early 80's hehehehe - but i still say to you this:

head up, be confident, believe in yourself. treat it like any other day of the week. don't let the moment swallow you up. if you've done your homework and have a mission behind what you're doing, this should be no problem.

good luck mate.

**DJ Corbzy** · 10-07-2003, 01:28 AM

cheers mate!

getting advice from yourself on this matter is insprirational mate.... :D

happy bunny now :D :D :D

Hahahaha, deffo a good point! :D

Mate my first set was a complete disaster, the monitors were totally shit and were in the other corner of the room. Basically there were no monitors and I did way too much base, train tracked about 10 times, sorry this isn't helping much, er don't do any drugs is my advise and don't worry about the shaky hands thing iiiitttttt gggoooess affffterrr aaa whhiiille

**DJ Corbzy** · 10-07-2003, 02:13 PM

hahahaha

I dont think I will be doing any drugs mate....apparently you can get very reliant on them if you carry on using them whilst playing... :?

Monitors are on the right side for me at Volts too, and there right next to ya, heard from a few DJ's that it's real nice to mix down there.

Thing is they got this gash mixer with no gains, only channels, hi and lo eq's that dont work very well, and a limiter...3 red lights and most of the 5k system cuts out!

Better not red line my mixes then innit.........

**Addict** · 10-07-2003, 02:22 PM

Have you got any mixes I can listen to then Corbz? What time are you playing? Is this Voltz in Exeter or Voltz in Blandford?

**DJ Corbzy** · 10-07-2003, 02:32 PM

I havent got any on the pc mate, got a few on Minidisc...

This is Volts in Exeter mate....

**DJ Corbzy** · 10-07-2003, 02:33 PM

dont know what time I'm playing either....I think it's about 11ish?
