Hercules RMX and using Vga - Component converter...(Both Clubs have component plug in's only) Latest Vers on VDJ
Thoughts: Worked out VERY well....total crowd for both nights approx 3,500....One club has about 30 40inch flat screens...the other has two projectors on the main wall of the club....Both nights current hip hop...With some Old Skool hip hop (Snoop/Dre/LL/Biggie etc) Not a scratch dj, more of a blend and cut dj...Play to a Dance floor, not to impress other dj's with my turntable skills....Approx ratio was 80% vids and 20% clipbank...Also used showlogo throughout the night.
Video's: I have alot of them from the various video services out there including Smashvidz....reason i bring this up, videos that i did not have i pulled from Youtubes service call "Vevo" also some of the clipbank stuff was from Youtube....Audio wise and clarity of video was FINE...you could not tell the difference in the club setting between the ones i got off the net vs the video services...i'm using everything in mpeg4....I'm sure a true audio/video phobe would be able to tell, but at composite delivery it was fine.
Problems: 2nd night video's glitched a lil after about 4hrs...and CPU (on VDJ screen) was maxing out and vids or music were loading slowly...
turned off clipbank and just ran showlogo with audio files only for about 30min...Line dances are big...K--Wang, Cupid Shuffle etc...and i dont have vids for them anyway so it worked out...The first night they had a portable fan in dj both so i had that blowing on Laptop, the 2nd night they didnt, So i believe my problem was a heat issue...(buying a cool pad today)After that 30 min (i grabbed one of the fans blowing on the amps and directed it at laptop)... I ran vidz about every 4 songs after i had the problem and seemed to be ok...I was on edge both nights, and Females that are friends noticed i wasn't my normal flirt/outgoing self cause i was worried about crashes etc...and monitoring everything, I think once i have 100% confidence, as i did with my other laptop and audio only...The sky is the limit!!!!
Thanks VDJ ....I'm now the ONLY HIP HOP DJ in the city doing Video....I just blew the competing dj's out the water!!!!
