DJ Wilma Road Trip - Part 1

Started this little expedition at 4 am, making this entry 3.5 hours later. I am almost in Ottawa, but have learnt a valuable lesson about driving already. If you want to miss traffic, drive super early, but keep warm. Me being on my motorcycle, I have been freezing my ass off. Maybe I should wear a scarf when on my motorcycle? Hahahaha

Also head phones that are loud enough in the city will most likely not be loud enough on the highway... I have spent this entire time mainly listening to the wind blowing past me. If I really focused I could possible figure out what song I had playing at the time, but otherwise all my thoughts are to how cold I am, and how sore my ass is... I can't wait for Ottawa!

Vlogs will be up later today! (Hopefully....)

Fail amoung Fails

So I'm currently in Toronto, chilling at my brothers place, watching MLG. I set up all my gear at my brother's place to make sure everything was good, and set up a playlist to perform through out the night. Everything was set up and good to go, I figured I would just run through the extended version of my "ITS A RETARD MAGNET MIX" and my external sound card decided to go bonkers. Every 30 seconds I was getting mass latency spikes, that were so bad they would actually lag out the song for a noticeable amount of time!

I let the guy running BarCraft Toronto my issues, and that I would work on it to fix, but everything we have done shows that I can't fix it. Turns out my USB ports on my laptop are a lil wonky. I knew it was weird before but the latency kills any DJing, so I won't be able to perform this time around, but I will be there for the next BarCraft, guarenteed.

MIDI Controller and than sum

So I finally got my MIDI Controller in, and she is working like a beauty! I am already in production of a DubStep Remix, and its sounding pretty cool for my first one. Most people from what I hear say that Ableton kinda has a steep learning curve but it is the better all around program, not quite sure if I agree entirely but I am finding its a really good program. I would say if you have to make a track really quickly for some unprompted to thing, use FruityLoops. I made so many tracks in that program, but it you are willing to put the time into the program and song, use Ableton Live.

Also I am performing in Toronto during BarCraft for MLG Raleigh. Really haven't done much setting up for it all, but I am hoping it all goes well as it is my first live performance outside of my house. I am thinking of going about nothing but HHC until nearing the finals where I spin out some crazy DubCraft. Still thinking it all through, and I have to get to Toronto by Friday, so I hope all goes well.

DJ Wilma OUT!
