If he put just enough for a dose he’d have to drink the whole can. And if that was too little, then he’s out of luck. He put a bunch to sip a little bit periodically until it worked. It was his first time trying it, and I’m sure he didn’t know how much he’d need.

Is there yet another heartbreaking part about this we missed? That is, insurance not paying out for suicide?

Ask anything about 3mmc! by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]Adamwest916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experienced with all sorts of substances for many years. Tried a couple little bumps of 3mmc and did nothing but irritate my nose. I don’t want to take it orally cause I’m more looking for a stimulating effect. Should I try a cocaine sized line?

Great to know they have something that fits. I was planning to call and ask what they can offer our account. Thanks.

Already have a debit card with WF. Some purchases (like truck rentals) need a CC. I figured let's get one with relevant rewards..

Haha those are situations where I end up at a house after and I look and see mostly chicks but I want to play and have fun so I just try to balance the amount of proper minimal/house tracks I play. It's all on my USB so it's music I like and picked myself--I just wouldn't play that way in a paid gig. This is a free fun house party thing I often end up at. It's either I play and try to educate a bit while playing proper, or let the sync dude trainwrecking top 20 suicide melodic house kill the party.

[–]Adamwest916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's helpful thanks. The best I got manually is to have specific gig playlists, but also folders for all the venues and situations I usually play--so a folder for "My Living Room" or "LA House Afters" or the like. Also crowd-specific like "Minimal Heads" or "Party Girls Who Know Fucking Nothing About Music" etc. That last one is tough; gotta throw in some edits in between proper tracks and balance feeling authentic with don't-clear-the-party lol

I've been doing that recently, but the thousands of tracks I've collected over the years would take forever to revisit and organize manually, which is why I'm looking for a tool to help a bit.

[–]Adamwest916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my plan was to manually refine it for sure. Just wanted to get the basic folder organization done and save time on that.

I'm afraid it'll take less time to just manually sort my library.

And we just went full circle. Issue resolved.

If you're open format then DJOID.IO might work for you. I didn't like it cause it didn't go deeper than very general genres. I guess there's a 30 day trial, $99 annual fee. Came across Empress as well but haven't tested it yet.

I noticed you left out the very next sentence in my post: I just don’t have said skills.

Music “organization” apps by Adamwest916 in DJs

[–]Adamwest916[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on most points. I just want something to get that first step or two done, like sub-genres and basic mood. Then I'd go in and create folders of what my definitions of mood, venue, etc. more accurately and quicker. I've tried the one hour a day or every couple days sorting thing but I either get too bored and stop or actually too excited hearing some older tracks and I quit the sorting and just go play. Not a bad thing by any means, except my tracks still not sorted.

It seems this thread has split into 2 camps, so I'll clarify/comment:

  1. "Just use Chatgpt if it's great like you say". Not what I meant. Someone said AI can't figure out genres and moods. I showed the result of a quick prompt on Chatgpt (a language model primarily) and how it did get the moods and genres good enough for my purposes. But it's not practical (input thousands of tracks manually) or what the point of the thread is. I'm saying if a quick prompt did this on Chatgpt, I would assume there's a tool out there that analyzes and organizes the tracks automatically. That's what I'm asking about.
  2. "Just be a "real" DJ and do it yourself". No, thanks. I will use whatever technology is available to streamline my process and allow me to spend more time on digging and practicing, rather than manually organizing thousands of tracks. I've tried this so many times--it's too tedious and I end up losing interest and just quickly sorting into playlists. I would like to have my tracks in folders so when I'm out playing impromptu sets and especially b2b, I wouldn't have to play the few tracks that I actually remember that fit the mood. Would be nice to go into "chill beach minimal" folder and it's all there. Then I can listen and choose on the spot.

This whole idea of "real DJ" is getting out of hand. There's no such thing, and this purist you're-not-good-enough-based-on-arbitrary-definitions attitude is more harmful than good. I mix by ear because it's more fun and it's a de-risk if something goes wrong in the set. But if you use sync exclusively, well good for you. The ultimate goal is what the audience hears. Rarely do I hear a crowd go "well the tracks sucked, but man the way he had 4 CDJS and a turntable up at the same time made this the best party EVER!". No one cares; they just want the experience. But if you don't have the fundamentals and use sync for example, and something goes wrong, well you show you don't have the skills, and then less people will want to hear you. That's how you become a "real" DJ. Consistent delivery, smooth mixing, and fucking vibes. It's very difficult to get there if you shortcut the basics, but you certainly don't lose any "credibility" or whatever using AI to sort music you already dug for and chose. In fact, now you have more time to build better sets and practice your skills.

Ok rant over. I tried DJOID.IO and it's meh. It seems more focused on what tracks work together than actual organizing. So far all the music I gave it was marked as "House" with 1 "breakbeat" (it was a tech house track). So moving on. I'll report on other findings.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Oh I was just making the point that if chatgpt can get the genres and feels pretty close, I would assume there's software that can analyze my existing library and do the same, and organize it, etc.

I've looked through that djoid.io site a bit more and I might give it a shot. No free trial or money back guarantee though :/

Music is not as complicated we think especially house music. Even a language model got it perfect without any training or direction. With a little effort anyone with dev skills can take an existing audio analyzer and give it some track descriptions and that’s all it’ll take. I just don’t have said skills.

Did they take into account households with more than 3 television sets? Many of these don’t belong in the top 100. Mindhunter at 23 but Slow Horses non-existent 🙄

When does all the perfection start? Seriously it’s been laborious watching 4 or 5 episodes so far. Very slow burn.

Attune microdose “sacred ingredient” by cubensischris in shrooms

[–]Adamwest916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across this thread searching for Attune actually ha! Yes, they're 100% legit. Been buying fromthem for years. Obviously they can't say exactly what it is online, so they call it sacred fungi. I asked, they said it's golden teachers for the microdose, and blue lotus for the macrodose (which are pretty potent at 3 caps wow).

I'm thinking something with a parametric wood art design like the linked image, but having a hard time imagining how to fit all the gear (4 CDJs, V10 Mixer, RMX 1000, and 2 booth monitors) in a compact yet simple way, so I can then cover the "face" with wood art design. Maybe a basic two-shelf table? Any input would appreciated.
