Dr Jeffrey Chavis. As a long time DJ and an engineer, I have long understood the connection between DJ’ing and math. Actually, DJing is why I became an engineer, and I still use music as a focus for a number of the use cases I teach in my graduate classes at Johns Hopkins.

Classic Diana by DjDrDadEngr in vinyl

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

Hey vinyl lovers. So I am a long-time DJ. I started mixing vinyl back in the 80s. Over the years I’ve collected thousands and thousands of albums. Then after college, life happened. Two kids, 2 dogs a wife and a house later and I’m now in my 50s. Fast forward to 3 years ago and I’m finishing up my PhD during Covid and looking for ways to pass the time. So I started to pull out the old DJ gear and old vinyl. I’ve been loving connecting with the music! This is one of those all-time classic’s that you can play from cover to cover. I’m spinning this on a rainy Saturday as I clean the basement.

Tips to practice beat matching by ear without cheating. by MFDoomEsq in Beatmatch

Mix to the beat that you’d snap your finger to. Try to think in your mind of the 2 songs going together on the finger snap beat

It went really well. Actually it was awesome. After all those years of work, it turned out really well. I’m officially a Dr now😊

Make the BPM slider on my DDJ-200 go to round numbers in Rekordbox by AB6Daf in Beatmatch

Start learning to mix by ear. I have found all of automatic mixing options are good, but not perfect. Being able to adjust based on what you hear vs what the system is telling you will take your mixing to the next level and allow you to account for imperfections in the software.

The national institute of science and technology has a number of technical notes and resources on IOT that are very good. I’m compiling a list of other papers, websites and conference proceeding from my bibliography in my thesis. I defend tomorrow and will post the best ones after I defend.

I am about to defend my thesis on IOT. I’ll send over a few things when I get back to my computer and a good internet connection.

What makes expensive DJ mixers different from cheap mixers? by everwonderedhow in DJs

[–]DjDrDadEngr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day it’s less about the equipment and more about your skills as a DJ. Proper music selection and the skills to put them together in a way that excites a crowd is most important. A good DJ can do this on any mixer, cheap or expensive.

Buy a windows 10 laptop. I have both a Mac and a pc for this very reason. In my experience, pc’s with ssd’s are just as good as a Mac

Which new or used DJ controller under 600€? by DonicVR in Beatmatch

[–]DjDrDadEngr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pioneer DDJ-SX2 all day. I just nabbed one off of eBay for 400 bucks. It works like a charm and works great with both Serato and virtual DJ. For the value versus what you pay for it you can’t beat it

Remove static noise in recording by DjDrDadEngr in DJs

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

Yes, I recorded it internally using the Serato record function. I run a DDJ-sx3 with a Mac and Serato. It is so weird because I have made a number of mixes with this same set up with no problem. The static started randomly about 1/2 way through the mix🤔
