I never get enough of this guy. He is just too awesome. A simple song like silent night soloed on a guitar with all the emotion possible gives birth to a masterpiece.

You should checkout out Gustavo Guerra’s videos page for more of his videos.

What do you think about this guy?

If you are a fan of Malmsteen like me this guy will blow your minds out with the ease with which he plays Malmsteen shit

Of late I have been watching this guy Gustavo Guerra and his amazing ability to play various kindsa styles. A must watch for any aspiring guitarist. This guy makes a very clear statement in all his videos. You dont have to play shredding parts to be effective. Just enjoy what you are playing. I will be posting some of his really good videos on my blog. Check out the first one. Its Manhattan by Eric Johnson.

Allright then. Came home really late last night(in fact, in the morning) so wasnt able to post the picture. But here it is

I was provided a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer by the resort guys. Apart from this I used my Compaq laptop which was running Traktor DJ Studio 3.2.2. I then use the Numark Total Control USB midi interface to control Traktor DJ Studio.

When it comes to output routing, I used the Numark DJ/IO to split the output in terms of monitor and master.

The setup is pretty straight forward and one of the easiest to control. There are not many effects possibilities though. The few effects that i use are Delay, beat masher, flanger(i use this a lot) and the T2 filter. I thought these are good enough for a small show. You can play around with the T2 filter quite a lot as well as the delay. The only limitation I felt was having to use the mouse every time i wanted to change the kinda effect. Otherwise the effect control are very easy to use.

The best part about this setup is the ability to load songs faster. The middle knob of the Total Control allows you to quickly scroll through the tracks in the view. Pressing the know down preplays it on the monitor o/p. Each deck has its own set of load track buttons. which loads the selected track in the particular deck.

I will post a detailed video of the basics with this setup and a few simple mixes. Hangon till then.

As for any aspiring DJ, I would like to say that this is a VERY portable setup. Its a must have actually.Its worth the money at least.

Cheers till then
