The Final: Air Conditioned Santa Monica 3/28

Picture%202.png Our final exam is at Air Conditioned in Santa Monica on Sunday, March 28th. Doors at 730. Please promote this with friends, family, myspace, facebook, wherever. We want to show AC that we can bring in business and rock the house too.

We'll talk about how we're going to structure the night later in class, but shoot for a 20 minute set (a spectacular 20 minutes of course). I made a really quick and dirty flyer below. You can link to it as a standalone URL here. Or, there's a pdf version here. If there's enough interest, we can all chip in and print up a few glossy prints to give out and as mementos.

Digital DJing Lecture 6 - Final Exam Details

Last Minute Performance Tips

1. Turn Off (close) every application except Ableton so CPU doesn't chug; turn off Wi-fi
2. If you're having problems mashups, pre-record them so you don't worry about it
3. You will make mistakes so don't worry about it (no one will notice anyway)
4. If you miss a cue, then just wait until the next phrase, don't rush
5. Don't have high expectations of crowd energy, you will be disappointed
6. We will have cue audio available for monitoring
7. Intro is more important than outro. Outro doesn't really matter
8. If you're manipulating master tempo, put limits on the range so you don't go berzerk by mistake
9. Put a limiter on the output
10. If you use autofilter - if you activate a clip, know where your filter is.
