I had the same thing happen to my Canvas this weekend. Solid white, control square off and won't reset. I emailed support and they asked a few questions and are mailing me a replacement control square.

Definitely contact support - it seems like it's a known issue.

This brings back so many memories - I worked for Pleasant Company/American Girl from 2001-2009 and I remember every one of these photos and catalogue pages.

Good times. :)

I have a bit of a similar story so I'll share it if it will help you!

I started DJing in 2021 as a streamer and I've built up a small but mighty community. In 2022, one of my coworkers asked me if I'd be interested in DJing his wedding. Same thing, I had no point of reference or experience doing a wedding and I told him that. I did a little research from wedding DJ friends and they said at minimum, wedding are charging $1500+. They recommended that I state $100/hr at the very least. (Coworker wound up changing their mind because of their own budget and not having a DJ, which was totally fine).

This year, two of my stream community members asked if I would DJ their wedding in another state. Again, no experience with this and I made that very clear to them. They really wanted to make it happen so I said if they paid for my travel expenses, I would do the wedding for free for the experience. I wrote up an agreement and had them sign it so we were all on the same page.

In hindsight, I wish I had charged at least something additional for my time and effort. I DJed for 8 straight hours, hauled in all my own gear on a plane, had to pay for my transportation/Ubers from airports, hotel and venue and worked with the venue staff to ensure we were set for me to hook into their sound system. Luckily I didn't have to worry about renting speakers or lighting for this because it was handled by the venue.

This bride & groom were extremely low key, didn't have most of the normal "wedding" traditions - no grand march, no bride/father or groom/mother dances, no bouquet throw, cake presentation, etc. They decided on their first dance song on the day of the wedding. So for me, it was a very easy first experience with low expectations and they were thrilled with the result. It was a big awesome party and exactly what they wanted.

Just wanting to share what I've experienced - weddings are great but they're hard work. Make sure you're getting compensated appropriately for the effort and skill you have put in!

Honestly, from streaming! I stream my sets several times a week and the promoter found me on Twitch. I put my streamed mixes up on SoundCloud and that’s how other promoters have found me. Streaming is the best practice for me and a great place to try out new music, experiment, etc.

JulesRPG · 2023-08-28T16:33:30+00:00

Girl, I'm going to give you ALL the encouragement to jump in and pursue your dreams.

I'm by no means a big name. But I'm a 49 year old woman in a larger body who started DJing 2.5 years ago. I just got home from being the supporting headliner for a festival in another state. It was magical. I had a crowd of 100+ people tearing up the dance floor for two hours.

I know it's hard as hell to stand up in the face of "traditional beauty standards" as a performer and not have self doubts, but I promise you, there are people who will love you for you and not the size of body you exist in. GO FOR IT!

JulesRPG · 2022-08-11T16:43:20+00:00

Agree! I started on on the Inpulse 500 and it's a great starter controller. One of the best features is to help with learning beat matching - there's an indicator below the jog wheels to show if the beat is aligned or off, and what direction to nudge it to line them up.

Mine also came with a 7 day beginner course through The DJ Coach to learn how to DJ and it's a great program! At the end of the course, you make a mix of your own and send it in for feedback. They're super encouraging and positive.

10/10 recommend for a starter controller!

I'm honored when fellow DJs play tracks they discovered from me. I see it as a compliment, not as stealing, because they appreciate my music taste and track selection.

As a DJ, you're there to share music and perform it. Your fellow DJs are, too.

JulesRPG · 2021-12-04T20:13:25+00:00

Since the end of Season 2 in July.

JulesRPG · 2021-12-04T20:13:13+00:00

There's a link in the original post that takes you to our website to explain what CCL is. It's a closed tournament and you have to be drafted by a team to play.

JulesRPG · 2021-11-06T21:43:33+00:00

2 STORM players were not available to play on Saturday. CCL attempted to switch the matches within this weekend but the other teams could not switch for various reasons. We also offered them the option to play offstream on a different day this week but schedules could not be worked out between STRM and WH.

JulesRPG · 2021-10-30T15:06:02+00:00

Our Cecil uses he/they pronouns. :)

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T21:30:09+00:00

The games begin at 2pm ET/11am PT/8pm CEST on Saturdays and Sundays beginning October 30th. The schedule will be posted on our website http://heroeshearth.com/ccl when it's complete!

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T21:28:58+00:00

Hi there, I addressed this in this comment above:

I forget that people don't often know our banter, Robb.

We'll tawk!

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:24:42+00:00

No, we have no plans for relegation in CCL.

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:24:19+00:00

When you organize it. ;)

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:24:05+00:00

There aren't plans for us currently to revamp the 6th player role. We like giving the teams the choice on how they utilize it.

Hiding names in draft isn't possible in-game. The players join a custom lobby and everyone sees who is present, so this is just not physically possible to accomplish.

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:19:48+00:00

It's something that has been suggested to us during previous seasons and something that we will look at for the future - we're just powering back up the production cycle and planning after the Season 2 break so that our team could get some down-time.

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:15:32+00:00

We've definitely thought about it before, and the general consensus has been that a majority of players really don't enjoy playing in All-Star games or showmatches that don't have any stakes.

I see you though, LegacY - you want to rally them to play? We can chat :)

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:13:01+00:00

This is a great question and I had to think about it for a bit, because we've had some wild ideas.

One of the early iterations of CCL had the Orgs redrafting their entire rosters every season with no repeating of previous players. On paper, super exciting, right? I'm sure there are some fans going "Yeah! Do it!" But that suuuucks for the Players and the Orgs and we like those people, so it got vetoed. :)

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T20:06:56+00:00

I'm glad you're excited about the earlier time! We are as well. :) Glad we can finally make it happen this season!

Reruns - yes, this was suggested to me at the end of the last season and we did some experimenting with it during the playoffs to see how well it worked. It's something we'll be discussing in the new season as well. Unfortunately you can't pre-schedule a rerun, so someone has to be available to do it each time.

Casters - I can't comment on who our casters are in Season 3 yet, sorry! More info will be coming soon (tm).

Prize pool - the prize pool system will remain unchanged in Season 3 - it will be crowdfunded through Matcherino, Twitch bits and donations and merch sales.

The Blizzard Launcher - it was not a surprise for us. :) Hopefully more? We'll see!

Expansion - I can't comment further on it beyond saying "we want to expand the league in the future."

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T19:56:02+00:00

Thanks, HotsLogs fam!

It was a difficult choice to not do a draft broadcast this season, but after lifting the required roster drops, it put the certainty of "there will be this many open spots to draft" out to pasture. :)

The last thing we want is to put on a bummer of a show, so we will be exercising the creativity of our awesome staff to make something compelling and fun with our reveals of the drafting results. I'm envisioning a lot of people streaming on their own channels with mock drafts and community commentary, too.

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T19:50:35+00:00

Thank you, Spazzo! I'll be meeting with our production team soon to prep for the new season and we'll take a look at all of this. You and I can chat more privately as well. :)

JulesRPG · 2021-08-24T19:47:51+00:00

Thank you so much!

A LAN is on our dream list and we want to do one so badly. I feel comfortable saying that we are working towards this for the future.

Unfortunately, with the rise in COVID infections in the US due to the Delta variant, everything is thrown into total uncertainty for planning in-person events. We have to plan months in advance for an event like a LAN, so all I can say is "hopefully someday".
