Wireless DJ

[deeplfo]

Hi bar,

So, the bar that I've been gigging here in San Francisco for a long time has had 
its DJ operations halted because some malicious person complained to the SF 
Entertainment Commission how the bar does not have an entertainment license for 
DJs.  The owner for various other reasons doesn't want to go through the 
approval process.  So, we are trying to find a work around for adding a personal 
touch to the music that is being played via the sound system, without actually 
having a DJ in the booth :-)   


Of course we've got the obvious routes covered, podcasts, mix CDs, Traktor 
playlists, pre-recorded Traktor mix sets, iPod playlists, etc.  But I am trying 
to see if I can get my iPad involved here.  So the idea is that I would have my 
laptop in the booth, connected to the sounds system and all locked up running 
Traktor Pro and some Midi drivers (iTouch Midi).  I then want to use Touch OSC 
on the iPad, with some of the latest templates that folks have created for 
Traktor Pro.  In theory I should be able to be any where in the main room and 
control Traktor via the iPad on an ad-hoc network.  I'm getting all the sw ready 
for a test in the studio. 


Anyway thought I'd share this, but btw I'm also interested in other ideas for 
remote controlling such a rig via a wireless device.

cheers,
