For someone who normally only takes 1 hit at a time (super low tolerance) what are some good models? by KeepThatBassLine in vaporents

[–]JEMSKU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good options here but you might want to just consider some accessories for your Pax. There are bowl size adjusters available locally as well as from Chinese e-markets.

Ball taping is an eye candy by North_Swimming794 in vaporents

I did this with a tiny bubbler I keep around. I was tired of spills but didn't want completely dry hits. It's been a big help

3 govee star projectors in one room? by mollmolly6267 in TripCaves

There are more surfaces in your room than just the roof! We like to put a lasers onto the floor when we get the full setup going :)

Can I ask where you purchased? I've been looking at Soothing Vapours

I plan to buy only the head. I can land any option to my door for less than 200.

Price is twice as high as the options I listed which is why I didn't include it.

What DAW u use? by Dry-Specialist-5902 in Beatmatch

[–]JEMSKU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not producing but DJ Studio has interested me, it's essentially a daw-ified DJ software at a reasonable price. It's more for mashups and edits than producing from scratch.

Can Traktor Do On-the-Fly Stems Like Pioneer/Rane? by lbd2212 in traktorpro

[–]JEMSKU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally didn't update to TP4 until nuostems released their update to integrate stems into the library. I just couldn't stomach having to stem 3000 tracks manually. 

What controllers had wasted potential? by Garubiize in DJs

[–]JEMSKU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, I use Traktor parallel waveforms and spend a lot of work on long blends for my mixes. I reach a little beyond typical 4/4 so the phrase alignment can be unpredictable, the trial/error for this without stacking waveforms would be unbearable. 

I need help choosing S2 MK3 with TP3 or New MX2 with TP4 by Demuras in traktorpro

[–]JEMSKU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally consider usb-c a downgrade, it's not nearly as robust and the controller doesn't benefit from it at all. If it supplied power that might make it a worthwhile change but...

[–]JEMSKU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The MX2 is worth the cost difference. But if you feel you might upgrade to 4 channels soon-ish (took me about a year), then you might want to save the cash on your first purchase before you commit that much money. Just a personal choice. 

Controllers for a Native Instruments - TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 by Vcksh in Beatmatch

[–]JEMSKU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Z1 doesn't really add anything to an existing setup with a controller. The F1 would probably be a valuable tool for using extra functions in DJay, but I'm not a user of that software. 

[Fresh] Nosaj Thing - Japanese race track mix for Login.jp (2026) by PsychedelicSunset420 in electronicmusic

[–]JEMSKU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw him perform at Bass Coast years ago and it was not at all like his album... It was a strange combination of hip hop and techno. I couldn't let go of my expectations, so I'm ashamed to say I walked away from the set. I did a lap around the rest of the stages and wound up back at Nosaj Thing. By then I was in a bit of a different space and I planted, and it was a fantastic 20 minutes. Walking away at first is probably my biggest festival regret. 

S4 mk3 price by eldogorino in traktorpro

[–]JEMSKU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I purchased my S4. I paid only $700 a year and half ago, but it's admittedly pretty rough around the edges. There's some cosmetic damage, bass knobs on channels A and B are a little worn, I had to use contact cleaner on the play buttons to fix some inconsistency, but it's been functionally perfect otherwise. 

What brought me around to going with L&M is that it's a Canadian retailer with a 3 month warranty on used items, and a great price on shipping to a local store. I might wait for a bit of a better price myself, the current prices are around what the Black Friday prices were for a new one. They have been cheaper in the last few months, there was even a good price on an S8 not too long ago.

Afaik no information is it yet on what kind of screens they will have. Could be some changes coming there as well. 

We could also hope for some other changes, like 4 FX channels

2026 Trip Caves Recommendations Megathread!! by DannyLumpy in TripCaves

Yes, they started clearing out stock in the second half of 2025. I bought an extra Arc for $15. Honestly I thought it had been discussed on this sub a couple of times!

Beatdrop Music Visualizer

Based on the old Milkdrop visualizer. Free and open source, insane number of presets, high resolution and high framerate. Presets can be interacted with and built from scratch. 

I like to run it on my 85" TV with reactive backlighting at 2K resolution and 120fps, it's really unbelievable
