i have just bought the virtual dj pro - internet 1/2 price deal, how lucky.
i have only bought it to find out a little bit about how djs think.
the reason being, i have written a dance track which is 3 and a half minutes long and am embarking on a club mix which is about 7 minutes. i would like this track if good enough to maybe be played at a club one day.
i dont ever plan to be a dj, but am intriued by the dj world which has exploded into something massive it seems.
i am tyring to find out how the majority of djs would handle my club mix.
i have already been practising mixing trance like tracks(club mix versions) on virtual dj.
although i am haveing trouble setting up my headphones
my music isnt trance although it has some of that feel and it also apparently sounds abit RAVE-LIKE.
currently i have
bar 1-8 kick drum and hi hhats
bar 8-24 a new percussive section (african styl drumming already)
bar 25-32 another percussion section (still no bass instrument )
bar 33 - 65 a melodic motif taken from the main melody with heaps of percussive stuff underneath and no bass line - plenty of tribal percussion though
bar 66 - the start of the full melody and then the piece continues.
what i am worried about, i have realised is when do djs fade into my track
i have (in my opinion) something quite african percussive type as early as bar 9 after the opening 8 bars are kick and hihhats.
i am worried that this section will be glanced over and it is important to my structure. to generate the feel of the whole piece.
(my opinion of course)
i am wondering if i make the first 8 bars longer to 16 so there is more chance of the dj fading into my track by the time the african-like percussion starts.
