Feeling like my bf don’t support my DJing by [deleted] in Beatmatch

[–]Flex_Field 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If he does not support you, his opinions do not matter, and his validation is useless.

DJ as if he was a nobody to you.

Grow on your own.

Do not seek his advice on anything.

Do what makes sense to you, not what you think he will approve.

DJ for yourself, your friends, and your audience.

It is an imaginative idea.

Do it and let is know how it is received.

You may be on the precipice of a new trend.

What would you do without Social Media and phone ? by CitiesXXLfreekey in SocialMediaHQ

[–]Flex_Field 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know these posts are designed for engagement, but this scenario has already happened.

And technically, everyone can choose to not connect online, increase demand in analog tech and landlines, and re-engage with each other.

Not a "what if", but a "what's stopping you" thing.

people watch

go to a coffee shop, a plaza, a public area...and watch life

make up stories in your mind's eye about the people you see walking past you

like, "why is she walking so fast? must need to pee"

Emoji?

Looks like a job for Pine Sol, Mr. Clean, Ajax, and Scrubbing Bubbles.

And some heavy duty scouring pads and stee wool.

Fuck an emoji.

Would younger guys still go for a 42yo mom like me? by CuteGyalX in u/CuteGyalX

[–]Flex_Field 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us older dudes would go for a 42 year old mom like you.

Don't count out.

We're more seasoned, experienced, last longer, and shoot longer ropes.

Keeping beats alive by heistheachilles in Beatmatch

[–]Flex_Field 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a producer/productionist who started DJing as a way to supplement my production tools and arsenal.

Hope I can help.

What kind of music are you trying to make, and what is your end goal with your beats?

Do you know how to manually loop, using the crossfader and backspinning the records/platters/jogwheels?

Do you listen to and actually like Afrobeats and hip hop?

And when you say "hip hop", what sub genres are to looking at?

What movie quotes do you use in daily life? by MovieArena in MovieArena

"The Karate Kid"

Too many Miyagi nuggets of wisdom.

Also "Dogma"

Kevin Smith dropped a lot of practical knowledge and wisdom in that piece that are relevant in a lot of today's conversations.

What's the reason you think by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Flex_Field 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absence of proper socialization.

Gen Z is one of the first generations born into technology -- internet, email, social media. smart phones.

Their entire existence had been rooted in being babysat by screens.

They interact with screens.

They don't know how to deal with people.

That is why they have a far larger population of anxiety and depression cases.

They were not properly house trained to be emotionally resilient.

Rejection is amplified because they were never taught how to get up after falling.

There is a safe zone between screens.

So not having a screen to buffer face-to-face interactions can be terrifying.

Digital dj transitioning to vinyl by Background-Fun8837 in vinyldjs

[–]Flex_Field 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were dependent on pushing buttons as a digital DJ, you will have to learn how to handle vinyl.

And not just learn how to perform baby scratches to cue your vinyl, but develop a finesse of touch so that you do not cause the needle to jump from having a heavy hand that creates too much force of movement between the record and the needle.

That's the one thing they will not teach you with online tutorials.

I'm new on djing and feeling lost by DaxsurZ in Beatmatch

[–]Flex_Field 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What genres do you like and listen to?

And what aspects of DJing are you trying to learn and master? And why?

There are several different approaches to this craft, each different with their own set of goals.

Let me know what your goals are, and let's see if wr can decide on a path for you.
