????????????????????

Correct me if i am wrong. But as a "DJ" why don't you just make your own???

lol....thats what i did when i first started dj'ing(at 13)....played premixed cd's.....(basically cause i had normal stereo cd players)....but it came to my attention that people started calling me other dj names because during the breaks u would hear... "dj____in the mix"....lol...and u wouldnt want that to happen....so, basically what im trynah say is...its better to make ur own...

OK i do not know how to make those types of cds. how do you get it to record? and on one countinous track?

Well, you'll need a computer with a decent sound card, a CD burner, and some kind of audio recording software to start.
Hook up the output of you mixer into the Line-In (or input) of you sound card. You may need an adapter or two to make it work.
Run you audio recording software (Sound Forge, ACID, Cakewalk, etc), and set it to record from the Line-In (input) of your sound card. Now, whatever you play on your decks will be recorded, as one continous track. You're only limited by how much free hard drive space you have. As a raw WAV file, roughly 1 minute of music takes up 10MB of space.
Once you are done playing, and you have your WAV file saved, go into your CD burning software (Nero, EZ CD Creator, etc), and make an Audio CD, and use that WAV file as the content.

[These are very broad general steps to take. Your individial setup, software, and results will vary]

We've covered this a couple of times, try doing a search on the forum for 'recording' or 'CD burning', or similar.

Good luck!

sweet....looks like i've learnt somthing new today...lol

good luck with the gen. steps.. from my experience, it wont sound good on a stock pc soundcard.. best get another one.

from what i do, its usually to overpowered and sounds very bad..

Ultimix makes some very good pre-mixed CDs

I purchased an ULTIMIX CD after reading your recomendation, I was pleased. The songs are NOT MIXED into one track, they are individual remixes. If you want a "mix" of songs, you may want to look for "medely mix" or medely's. Enjoy :-)

At most music stores they have a section of "mix" CD's. The most popular of these are the Loui Devito NY Underground series. Your best bet though is to make the mix CD's yourself. My personally I don't take breaks, or if I need to run to the bathroom, I will drop 2 tracks into the computer and let it run the mix for me. There are a few decent programs available for this.
