do you think that doing a set with only 2 cds is possible? by that i mean, because the mk2 cdj1000s get v hot, if i am relaying play from deck a - deck b - deck a - deck b like that, will it overheat those cds after 3 hrs? or will the cds play fine with no problems?
anyone ever did this and had any problems? im sure it will be fine but, because the disks arent ever coming out.. i dont know? please let me know what you think on this topic thanks |

8 hours straight, 2-3 nights a week, 2 years in a row, from bounce to trance, smokey enviro, MKs in an ata road case, and not one overheating or any other serious problem.
The only problem I can recall is that those damn MKs would not reject all the rap ish that took over and killed my gig.  CURSE YOU AQUA SCUM! |

Quote: The scenario of DJ-ing three hours from only two CD's sounds bizzarre to me, but if anything it's probably less stress on the players because you're not putting any wear and tear on the inject/eject mechanics. |

Wow did I misread that one! Did you mean 2 discs or 2 players? If you meant 2 discs, and the gig is not just background or noise from the corner type ish, I'd suggest you stop premixxing your stuff and work. If you meant 2 players, see up this thread.
I can't imagine any non-downloading, skilled, talented jocks working a crowd with only 2 discs worth of joints. |

Quote: I think it is strange but very possible. I know when I did TTs I used mostly singles, most often two copies of each. If I were doing a hip hop gig, I took about one hundred and fifty records depending on the site. With two DVDs he has more than I could ever have been able to carry from NY to DC or Philly in my old Chevy hatchback plus gear and other crap. He conceivably could fit more than three hundred songs on those two CDs even if he is not using mp3s. I say that is good enough for a three hour gig. I am sure he is not going to take off �the-wall-request or something like that. |

I thought I missed something. Home slice said "With two DVDs he has more than I could ever have been able to carry from NY to DC or Philly in my old Chevy hatchback plus gear and other crap. He conceivably could fit more than three hundred songs on those two CDs even if he is not using mp3s."
I didn't think they did but I was giving him benny of knowledge I don't got. So my man p2g1 is tryin to work the gig with MKIIs and only 2 discs? Thats the proposition I thunked he was respondin to. p23po better have a crystal ball and know exactly what joint he gonna roll and when, cuz he ain't got no room for mistakes.  Seriously, p2d2, you might wanna take a third cd just to be safe!  |

My bad. MKII don't play DVD ISOs. Then he may have very close to three hours worth of songs, maybe less. That is not a very good idea.
Unless he has CDs as backup and intends to use the two CDs baring any misfortune. That makes more sense cause in case of CD malfunction he has something to fall back on. If he is using two CDs only, they are probably CDRs. Somewhere on this forum are the many issues that one may encounter when using CDRs. Beyond CDs, it is a good idea to take portable CD players as system backup to events. Equipment failure is becoming less and less an excuse for not being able to get the job done. Some unfortunates are foreseeable and preventable, depending upon the severity of trauma caused (i.e. FU wedding) one can be held accountable and require to pay compensatory damages, including emotional.

Quote: you make it sounds like you're balancing a tightrope using CDRs. there aren't any issues if you have some common sense. Use good media, burn at a rate you know which will not cause problems (16x for me), Disc at once. and unless you're waiting for a song to end completely, there's no way you're getting 3hrs out of 2 discs. if you are waiting for the songs to end, you don't need the 1000's. get a 5 disc changer put that bitch on random and you're set. |

Let me give you the benefit of the doubt, and say you're using 80 minute CDs.
80 * 2 / 60 = 2.66 hours of possible playback from a Pioneer CDJ MK2. Now if you plan on having a creative set, juggling, etc.. You just lost 5 minutes on one of your CDs to having dupicate tracks and you're down to 2.58 hours. It is physically impossible to do what you've asked no matter how you run the numbers. |

what about using 90 min cds.
take the long edits of songs and cut out the repitions during the intro/outro. record to cdr, then when you play back loop the intros/outros of every song, then you can still mix a little and have slightly more than 3 hours. i think having your songs picked out ahead of time (which would definately be necessary) is a pretty bad idea. what if you find that your crowd doesnt particularly like something specific yet you have a couple songs that fit in that category selected and now you cant change it. i guess we're also all assuming that you're not goin to play the same song more than once! ;P |

when i would be called in to do a smaller set for an hour or two i've gotten away w/ 4 CD's (2 masters w/ copies) of pre mixed commerical joints that i would spin. the only reason i would be able to get away w/ something like that is i'd know ahead of time what i would be spinning (usually reggae) and i'd take the time to put together what i needed.
this only would happen for gigs where one of my DJ's would be spinning and i'd come in to give him/her a break or spin something i was stronger @ than they were. definitely not somethign i would try for any other reason since i'd be real limited and have no backup (unless i go digging in their crates) |

not to mention it gives off the impression that you are playing a mixed CD regardless of you mixing everyting live

I can see making pre mixed CDs, I have friends who spin at Clubs and may not be able to get there some night for an hour. So they make a pre mixed disc and have the owner or manager put it on.
You know were probably not to far away from carrying a few DVD copies of our stuff and using the X1 in the Clubs???? Pioneer National Trainer & Product Specialist |
