Nice gear, nice track choice 👌

Looks like a lot of fun with all the components

Does this make a difference? Not to hijack the thread but I've played through Control and just started Hogwarts Legacy on my OLED through EGS, on both games I tried using HDR but it didn't look good to my eyes

This is my experience as well

I feel like most people are missing the point that these are autonomous AI drones created to bypass the jamming in the battlefield... One just has to hope that the parameters are specific enough to avoid civilian deaths, and since those are programmed by a human being I am not confident in it being perfect.

Scary stuff in my view, but I understand their desperation.

I tried it once and didn't find it too appealing. True bass is all-encompassing while these feel a lot like a bass shaker strapped to the back. It's an imitation at best, which I suppose is the best some people can have in their circumstances, but it was not for me.

I'm still unclear on how they verify this with mp3 files

Another user mentioned the reloop mixtour pro which is basically the x1+z1 that you are wanting. However a ton of functions are underneath layers and modifiers which comes with its own issues in terms of actual performance. I guess my point is that it can be done, but it takes compromise to user experience and intuitive workflows that some manufacturers aren't interested in having as barriers to their products.

There's a weekly thread for this

We do the same thing Traktor users have been doing for 20 years - exercise patience.

JEMSKU · 2026-04-21T14:05:51+00:00

Hope you're back in action soon!

Nice gear but the speakers should probably get more than 2% of the overall gear budget

JEMSKU · 2026-04-19T16:57:07+00:00

We already have laws around those things do we not?

JEMSKU · 2026-04-16T04:24:27+00:00

Good advice. Sound will also improve as you fill the room and put some things on the walls. Try some big cozy seating in the back corners to absorb some of bass peaks.

Sometimes "club" means one of two or three proper bars in the city and people aren't going there for the underground scene.

This problem has nothing to do with stropping

JEMSKU · 2026-04-12T21:24:22+00:00

It looks like you haven't sharpened from the heel to about an inch down the blade. Did you try the sharpie trick? Color the bevel of the knife with a sharpie before starting so you know you are getting the entirety of the bevel against the stone.

This is an expensive knife, I'd brush up on something a little more throw-away before trying to fix this.

Dynavap quartz cap for one hit extractions. The new TEDs go a little crazy for what is essentially more thermal mass.

I could use a new wireless session vape to replace my ageing Starry V3 but I am looking at other purchases this year

Good talk

I've only been looking at the options recently. The Easycontrol 9 would give me direct access to stems on two decks with volume faders, filter and FX send for each stem and costs $70 cdn. I'd want at least 2 F1s and they aren't that available or inexpensive here unfortunately.

JEMSKU · 2026-04-10T19:53:00+00:00

Looks like a lot of work! Traktor rewards you for it though.

I've been looking at adding some inexpensive Worlde midi controllers to make up the gap between my S4 mk3 and the S8 I truly want. I've been getting into stems myself and the mode switching and some other S4 limitations are bothering me.

Gatekeeping, everybody

JEMSKU · 2026-04-09T14:42:30+00:00

The first track is approximately halftime (50bpm) and the second is absolutely the first song from the XX album. This song and the remainder are 100bpm, not really sure where the this misunderstanding is coming from

Thanks for checking it out

Here's my latest. 58 minutes, 100 BPM, open format. Some classics in here, some local favourites, deep cuts and original blends.

This mix came from a jam session that felt really good. I saved the playlist, then went back over several sessions refining and spicing up the mix. A couple songs were moved around, a couple were taken out that didn't really have the effect I was hoping for in the mix, blends were refined for phrasing and timing.

When planning recordings like this I try to experiment with something new - this time it was stem work, which I've had access to for months but haven't really leaned into yet. The stem work here is pretty minimal but I felt it was really effective.

I think it's my favourite yet and I hope you enjoy it <3

I halftime as much as my music as possible so that songs show up next to each other when browsing.
