ever dejayed open air in april?

hey collegues!

i just got an offer to dj open air next saturday - which is lovely
now i wonder if my notebook will like the wet cold which is unfortunately normal in northern german april nights. what do you think? cause i don't want it to go mad while i'm playing ...

cheers, katha

 

Well you want to be careful and follow some common sense.

Locally, Vancouver here has had several DJ's playing at anti-war demonstrations, either from the back of a truck or under a tent... and we get lots of rain. If they trust their turntable set-ups in these conditions I'm sure you'll be okay with your laptop... whoever's invited you to participate must have considered providing you with some form of shelter.

Have fun!

 

Open Air

Hey auf welchem Open Air sollst Du denn spielen?
greetings Andreas

 

Hi

ich würd mir da nicht soviel Sorgen machen www.wetter.com macht eine gute Prognose für Samstag in Berlin .

Trocken Vormittags leicht bewölkt, Nachmittags Sonne, Max Temperatur 15 Grad, Nachts was kälter, Luftfeuchte bei 38 %. Und da Wetter.com nach meinen Erfahrungen mit den Temperaturen eher vorsichtig ist kann es durchaus sein das es richtig lecker warm wird am Samstag . Zumal für die ganze Woche Sommer befohlen ist.

Zu Deiner angesprochenen Sorge:

Das problem tritt erst auf wenn's in Dein Laptop rein regnet oder ein Temperaturwechsel auftritt ( z.B. GIG zu ende Laptop aus und draußen stehen lassen ) dann KANN sich Kondenswasser im inneren des Rechners absetzen. Vorher eigentlich nicht, da das Dingen warm wird und sich an warmen Sachen in der Regel eher selten Feuchtigkeit absetzt. Also wenn Du fertig bist Rechner aus , Tasche drum und ab ins Auto oder in einen beheizten Raum damit und dann weiter feiern. Sollte es unumgänglich sein das Dein Laptop die weitere Nacht draußen verbringt, lass es einfach bevor Du es das nächste mal einschaltest 2 - 3 Stunden in einem warmen Raum stehen, damit EVENTUELL entstandenes Kondenswasser abtroknen kann.

Also keine Sorge keep

 

thanks a lot, mates!
for the advice and the weather forecast! i'll be calm and safe now for saturday night. now all that there's left to do is some training in mixing, as i'll have to play ping pong with some vinyl-djs i'm afraid - and i'm not really good at that yet ...
have a sunny day!

Congrats!! Tell us how did it go?

 

did what go? the keeping my notebook dry?
pardon .. yes, i will!

 

I thought this was an older post. I was talking about the dj open air on saturday. I thought it has past. I guess U mean Saturday; April 25th. DOH!!!

Well after the gig, tell us how it went. OK? BTW good luck.

 

hey!
well .. it turned out to be even different from what i had expected - the police turned up just as i had everything set up and was ready to take over and told us to stop the music unless we wanted the pa confiscated. well we didn't want that .. so my part of the gig finished before it had started :-(
but it was still a lovely night - and in which other country can you have a non-commercial open air in the city centre just some meters in front of the parliament and the chancellors office - with the police only turning up at three beceause the hospital nearby had complained about the noise?!!!
yes, technically spoken, my notebook behaved well, i was just a little irritated by the fine sand on the touchpad ..

have nice day, katha
