Daytime Performance
DJ 3pm
1:04 AM 26 September 2004
Excuse my drunkin posting. I just got done with my first daytime performance. All in all, didn't go to bad. My alma mater, Ball State University [insert joke here], had a 7pm kick-off so I drove down to visit my old roomates and DJ our tailgate party. Rented a gas powered generator and put SSL to the test. Was in a hurry to set-up so forget to calibrate and set threshold. Got new needles last night, but didn't have time to mount both to headshells. Used 1 old needle and 1 new needle. Survey says: Shure M44-7 work flawlessly, Numark CC-1 licked donkey balls (kept skipping out of the groove).
After proper calibration and whatnot, things got a lot better (other than drunk girls wanting to 'scratch', didn't have any dj booth protection like in a bar). The first couple hours it was terrible to see the screen, I had to open up System Preferences and invert the screen (thank you OS X Universal Access). Learned very quickly that when you invert the screen, all the colors switch to the opposite (black=white, green=pink, etc.) Once the sun started to set I was able to switch back to proper color scheme. (SSL team, please add a low light scheme that uses white background but keeps the waveform and markers the same color)
Good times. This was just a test run for Homecoming in a couple weeks. I will post some pictures (camera phone) later when I sober up.
