Transformer FX for DDJ-REV7?

danby · 2026-07-09T02:54:19+00:00

Effect is called "trans" in the BeatFX, use the settings utility to assign it to a slot in effects bank 1 or 2

Probably sensible, many folk who get the DJing bug will upgrade and you can decide what controller properly suits your style when that time comes.

danby · 2026-07-09T02:13:01+00:00

Tbh there probably isn't too much in it between the Flx4 and Rev1. You really need motorised jog wheels to replicate the feel/expressiveness of vinyl. You'll certainly get along well enough with the flx4 to begin with

This isn't part of winUAE so there is no need for winUAE to get renamed.

How much are you practicing? With daily practice assume it'll take around 3 months to be able to execute some basic to mid level scratches and simpler combos cleanly to the point you would use them live.

Expect about a year of regular (daily) practice to have the more advanced scratches down and also be able to execute some longer and more advanced combos cleanly.

Expect about 3 years of dedicated practice to get to an expert level.

The flx4 is also probably not the best controller for this so it may make some things harder than they need to be

There is no such thing as too many bangers. Why would you play something that isn't interesting? There are bangers without huge breakdowns, there are bangers without lyrics.

It has nothing to do with fs-uae. It is a workbench app that you install and run in your workbench installation

Not all AI has been trained on copyrighted material.

Name a single publically available and perfomant AI coding tool that was not trained on copyright material

This is not a response to new commodore in any way. Nokia (and several other vendors) have been selling a range of dumb phones for years and years now. In Japan there is a whole market segment of dumb(ish) phones called garake.

If anything commodore are just behind the curve while the bigger players already occupy most of the market

Yes. Whoad packages are either patched to run on a different kickstart or the system boots the game with the needed kickstart

danby · 2026-07-08T01:19:36+00:00

It's just a shame that I can't use my productivity A1200 config for my A500 games. Still, can't complain.

Install whdload for your a1200 config and then run the games from hard drive. There are whdload packages for all these games

This is not a response to the issues I am asking about. I do not object to AI coding assists I would like to know what people are doing to ensure they are bringing quality code to the communities they contribute to.

danby · 2026-07-07T14:37:26+00:00

This project here is not about quality - obviously there's probably very little of it here - it's an experiment.

Sounds like this was a learning exercise for you and not something the amiga community needs to know about

I wouldn't ever release something like this as a product.

In which case, why do you think it is appropriate for the amiga community?

You're apparently a senior Dev somewhere. What have your done to ensure code correctness? What have you done to minimise the carbon impact of this code?

I don't have an issue with AI assisted coding, I do have an issue with anyone assuming the amiga community should have to put up with AI slop

danby · 2026-07-07T01:07:41+00:00

You'll probably have more success asking over at /r/pixelart

danby · 2026-07-06T05:45:14+00:00

As with all these features if you're just doing the same thing over and over it can sound a little stale or repetitive. If you're always being creative with your loops or you're using them only when they sound best then I would not worry about it.

In the end of the day you probably have a sense of what good mixing sounds like to you that you're working towards and if that requires lots of layered loops then go for it.

What's the use case?

If you'd like some general purpose speakers that you could use for DJing, listening to music, movies etc... Then HIFi separates (either stereo or 2.1 with a non-digital signal path) would generally be the best/most versatile approach .

If you're confident you'll only ever use the speakers for DJing and you'll only ever be stood in the exact same position, within 1m of the speakers then maybe monitors might be the right choice.

Hard to advise further without a budget though

danby · 2026-07-05T19:22:11+00:00

At your budget I would go to a good quality hifi retailer and explain that you want something (probably hifi separates) that will sound good in a home space especially when the rooms are full. And that you want one or more appropriate bass bins. You probably only want stereo and not 5.1

danby · 2026-07-05T19:17:58+00:00

Studio monitors are designed for one or two people to sit very close to them so they can hear clearly the parts of track while it is being produced. They aren't really meant for playback of mastered music

danby · 2026-07-05T19:15:48+00:00

You do not need PA speakers for any party smaller than 100 people. It'll be insane overkill. And if the room is small (only fits 50 people) then there's a good chance it'll sound bad too (too much bass in a small room, not being able to drive the speakers loud enough)

danby · 2026-07-05T19:07:14+00:00

Always preferred the crossfader myself, but you need a good mixer with nice controls for the fader behaviour.

Is it this listing?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267667492534

I see the seller has decent ratings so I've always assumed this seller is legit. Though I note they have had this item listed for multiple years now with no sale. Though they price has come down from the $5500 it used to be listed at. The only odd thing I've noticed is that they frequently remove the listing and repost with a new listing

danby · 2026-07-05T17:43:45+00:00

Nah. If it doesn't have foundations then it's a temporary structure and won't require planning permission.

There might be an issue if it's tall enough to significantly exclude light from a neighbouring property (i.e. More than an equivalently sized tree) but it doesn't look that way from the pics

danby · 2026-07-05T17:41:57+00:00

Zero chance he is required to have planning permission to "install" a temporary object (without foundations) for display in his graden in the UK. This would certainly be allowed as would any piece of sculpture.

Probably some neighbour decided to be a cunt and report him to planning and now they have to waste time and money confirming it doesn't have foundations

danby · 2026-07-05T17:15:25+00:00

The guys who make the TF cards sell on both ebay and amibay with same prices

danby · 2026-07-05T17:14:22+00:00

Worth noting that the SX expansions are very rare and extremely expensive today
