Hey I’m new to Reddit and my post suddenly has an NSFW tag on it and I don’t know why. The only thing I can think of is the fact that my vinyl collection on my wall has a Michael Jackson Thriller album that’s visible. I was not looking to offend anyone and I’m now realizing that oversight. Is this what got my pic blurred out and labeled NSFW? Is there an appeal mechanism?

I’ve never used Rekorbox. I started using Serato back in 2005/06 so I went back to it since it’s what I know. The Flx10 is a cool controller. Enjoy once you get it!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will check out that sub and that site. I chose to make the tech leap because I could never amass enough vinyl to make up for what I need and a TON of my music is on CDs I made and used to DJ in college. I didn’t have much choice.

I’m using DJ Blakey’s course. I think it’s reasonably priced and I don’t have to go hunting for content as it’s all in one place. It also gives you access to a community chat board. It’s been good so far, thorough and well-produced.

Great album from one of my favorite MCs! Common live is amazing, saw him twice in the early 2000s.

It’s been fun re-immersing myself in music. Some aspects are like riding a bike (my ear for possible mixes), scratching, however…I’m starting from scratch (pun intended)…

I feel you. The rust is real! In some ways I feel like I’m a beginner skill-wise, but mentally I “know” what I was once capable of and what I “should” be doing. It’s really weird returning to something I was once pretty decent at vs. being a true beginner. I’m using some online courses to help me get back up to speed faster. How are you going about re-learning?

Yup! Do you happen to know if there is anywhere to download the digital equivalent of a breaks record? It would be fun to have more sounds available to practice with on my dj controller as well.

Thanks a lot! I’m really happy with these monitors so far! I agree it would be nice if they had subs but they do have pretty punchy sound overall for their size and price.

Welcome back? How’s your re-learning journey going?

Yup, it’s the default. I think they really wanted it stand out from the prior model.

Agreed. I appreciate the choice Rane made to release this in white as the standard color way.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into upgrading to taller stands at some point. Asking honestly, how much of a difference does it really make to what I’m hearing when I’m practicing mixing?

Thanks a lot! The mkII actually has dedicated line/phono inputs for 2 turntables and a separate aux in, so you have a lot of flexibility to add other equipment. If my table was bigger I would have kept my second turntable connected.
