go pro recording

It’s very important that you read and understand all of these points if you don’t want to lose your recording:

  • Tim or Luc will set up the Go Pro and load the micro SD card provided by Faded Society

  • The SD card lives in the green box (pictured above) permanently in the cupboard

  • If Tim or Luke forgets to load the SD then ask them about the box

  • Leave the Go Pro on record for the entire session

  • Do not dance around the Go Pro as the wooden floorboards are old and shake. Avoid these wooden panels as much as possible and just hang out in the couch area

audio recording

It’s very important that you read and understand all of these points if you don’t want to lose your recording:

  • There is a Faded Society tagged USB also in the green box (pictured above) to be used

  • This FS USB must always be in the second USB port and recorded for the entire session

  • The recorder light must be flashing red in the second USB port to confirm that it’s recording

  • There’s a QR code on the board on the shelf (pictured) if you need to watch a quick tutorial on which button to press record

  • You can play whatever music or genre you like. It could be what you normally play or something completely different to show a new angle

  • Time your own set and avoid going overtime

  • DJs in the room should also be responsible for time keeping

  • There’s plenty of buffer time provided to get you set up, recording and pass over to each other

  • You can talk during your set or any DJ’s set as the Go Pro sound will be embedded with the USB audio
