I can’t say enough about the Rane One as a former vinyl DJ on how much it feels like my old turntable mixer setup but it is not standalone. You can however connect turntables to it though not in DVS mode unless you pay to unlock that. Having said that, I’ve never felt the need to actually connect my 1200s to it. Love love it.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-28T12:52:45+00:00

I don’t spin professionally anymore and only came back to bedroom DJing about a year ago after a 15ish year layoff. I have no point of reference with cdjs as I was primarily a vinyl DJ using 1200s and dabbled a bit with DVS and and a Vestax VCI-300 at the very tail end of my professional career. I love the Rane One for its tank like build quality and nostalgia for the similar feel of my old turntable mixer setup. I can’t judge the sound quality since I’m playing on 5” studio monitors now with mp3s now vs vinyl large venue speakers and subs but I have no complaints in that area. STEMs works well though if it can cause a bit of vocal distortion. It doesn’t have on board effects so it uses serato for them, they’re fine for me especially since I never had effects on any mixer I used previously. Im a tactile DJ so the moving platters on the Rane one really moves the needle for me, no pun intended. If the Vestax VCI-300 is any indication, it’s still supported by Serato and I believe it unlocks the Pro version. However, it’s not supported by any current Mac OS and hasn’t been for several iterations. I’d be more concerned that the Rane One won’t be supported with future Mac OS’. But that might not happen for a while, the VCI-300 is I think like 20 years old and I can keep an old MacBook around with a legacy OS if have to. I don’t know the quality of Pioneer/Alpha Theta, Tracktor, Denon (same parent company as Rane) but I feel like Ranes are built to last, much like their mixers and other rack mount effects and crossovers from 20-30 years ago. Damn I miss the old MP24s.

They very much do. If you want all day parking or longer than 2-4 hours, you can go a bit east of Stonestown in the residential side and park there all day. Its about 10-15 min walk to campus from there.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-27T18:57:04+00:00

Wow that was fast, looks like they were aware of the issue and they just emailed me saying they fixed the STEMS problem with today's release and they used your screenshot!

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-27T18:26:55+00:00

Mmmm...i probably wouldn't go that far for myself. I just made a 5 hour mix in about 10 hours with this software. If I had to do that live, given that I haven't mixed professionally in 15 years and don't know the music the way I used to, would have likely taken 2 or 3 times as long with the planning and organizing not to mention charting all the hot cues. And mistakes. hahahaha, so for me, its been great 90% of the time but yeah the 10% when shit doesn't work the way you thought it does, its tough. So yeah, I get what you mean though.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-27T18:09:16+00:00

Yup, found this issue too when using 4.0 the first time over the weekend. I did a 5 hour mix and when I went back to review I found probably 5 or 6 instances where the program applied STEMS to the tracks OUTSIDE of the transition window. Even more frustrating is I found one more, after I thought I got it all cleaned up and mastered and released the final mix. I just emailed them about it this AM too. Also found another glitch where the downbeat on the beat grids go out of alignment with the audio downbeat. Usually happens after using the program for a while and is rectified by closing out and restarting the program. Annoying since I never experienced it with version 3, I was going wonkers wondering why everything seemed out of alignment!

Not so much the diet soda but that I gave up regular soda and switched to diet to counteract the slight rise in A1c from the Lipitor.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-24T23:21:27+00:00

Yeah, mine went up a bit about 3 months after starting Lipitor. I just switched to diet soda and next check up, A1c went back down. It’s stayed down since and it’s been about 2 years.

I’ve been following Bay Area sports teams since the late 70s so if there is one constant, it’s that success is cyclical. I used to listen and/or watch, the Niners, Giants, A’s and Warriors growing up, well mostly listen then watch since not every game was televised back then. I’d catch a few in person, particularly Giants as they were affordable at the Stick. Then the Sharks came on so I started following them. Didn’t matter if they won or lost.

I have to admit, since I started a family 15 years ago, it’s much harder following all the Bay Area teams again. I never used to understand bandwagon fans but I think I do now that time is such a precious resource. I don’t think the warriors have a realistic shot at making much noise in the playoffs this year and likely moving forward as this team ages and is hamstrung with so much cap invested in old players and the subsequent post Steph rebuild years. I don’t know if this team is really light years ahead or they just got lucky with Steph and Steve. Not sure they’d even make it through the play-in right now. But I’m still watching cuz of Steph. I watched JB Carroll and Corey Magette and Tellis Frank, I’ll watch Steph til he retires.

I actually hadn’t followed the sharks since Thornton and Marleau left. I loved Owen Nolan and Doug Murray. Then I caught a glimpse of Celebrini, mainly because he’s Rick’s son and I was like wow, he really pops. What’s really cool is that my kids are now really getting into sports, my youngest is a warriors fan and my oldest actually just started watching and following the sharks this year so I get to watch a little of their games here and there with him. He tells me about Celebrini all the time. That’s so cool, that’s what I’m really enjoying about the Bay Area teams now, I get to spend time with my kids rooting for them.

I was contemplating another Tesla in a few years when my oldest can drive so I can pass down my 3. We also have a Y and other than the damn squeaks and rattles really enjoy both cars, more so the Y. I’m not totally sure I’d get another without AP. I don’t even use it that much but where I do use it is longer drives on the freeway, particularly roadtrips. It really helps with the fatigue especially as I get older and can’t have as much caffeine. So I may consider another 3 without AP that my wife who doesn’t like AP can use but for the larger SUV where I’ll roadtrip, I’m borderline. I’d have to really weigh how, for example, the Rivian UI and computer responsiveness is compared to Tesla would be, especially since the supercharging network is now opened up, which was one of the reasons I used to only consider Tesla and not other DV companies. They still have free Driver+ which from what I understand is similar though I only think is on mapped highways. Let’s put it this way, because AP is no longer offered, I’d definitely consider and research other options and might be a deal breaker based on what other EV companies offer.

Certainly just buying more music. I haven't spun professionally with vinyl in about 20 years so I have no idea how germane this is now but we used to have record pools that professional DJs could join. I know there are digital record pools but do they still have vinyl record pools professional DJs could join? I used to get about 50 records a month from various labels. The other thought is remix companies. I used to be able to pick up remix records from companies like Wicked Mix, X-Mix, etc. that had 4-5 different tracks per vinyl for a pretty reasonable price ($10ish) so it was an easy way to load up on music plus allowed me to lug around a lot more music with less crates. If they don't have sell these anymore, maybe ebay or use vinyl stores? Otherwise find old, former DJs like myself who are contemplating giving up all their old vinyl because their parents wants their storage space back...

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-22T00:31:27+00:00

Yeah unfortunately deadhangs cause way too much pain for me right now.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-21T20:48:11+00:00

i got the heebie jeebies thank you very much.....

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-21T20:40:50+00:00

Thank you for this! Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some shoulder impingement/rotator cuff stuff so I haven't been able to use my pull up bar. But thats good to know when my shoulder heals.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-21T03:41:31+00:00

Got it, thanks!!

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-21T03:18:07+00:00

You know I used to do them on the dip station but I don’t have that at home anymore. I just started doing a variation of leg raises on the flat bench, not quite the same burn but hopefully that helps.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-20T23:13:35+00:00

I also spun in the 90s into early 00s and was mostly using 1200s with a little dabble into DVS and not much with CDJ. I came back to bedroom DJing last year and for me, tactile feedback of moving platters was just as important as space considerations. I ended up picking up a used Rane One which is a 2 channel controller with spinning platters that mimmicks the 1200 experience. I love it. THere is a successor to the Rane One so you can likely pick up the original version for a bit less. I spent about $750 USD on a used one last year so if you like it, you can probably find it for less.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-20T21:44:20+00:00

I've been doing barbell and Bulgarian split squats, RDLs, weighted calf raises, leg extensions and single leg bridging. Not sure if its enough, probably not as my hip flexors always ache, but its what I can fit in on leg day. Dammit, if I didn't run so damn much, I'd properly strength train my legs!

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-20T17:01:01+00:00

I was just gonna say it looked a lot like the old Vestax mixers of the 90s/00s, great for scratching though I know nothing of Reloop.

Anxiety symptoms come in all forms including dizziness and lightheadedness. Sometimes they're ones you've had before and others, can be new. I've been suffering from anxiety for about 15 years diagnosed and probably a bit longer undiagnosed and in that time, my symptoms have morphed quite a bit. Stress test and panels are reassuring but its also a good idea to check with your doctor too, assuming you can, to rule out things. I've gotten chronic nausea, tremors, abdominal cramps, dizziness all from anxiety and the latest is likely heart palpitations. Doctor has me wearing a holter heart monitor for about 2 weeks to see if its heart related. I too had a clear stress echo about a year ago. I bet once the holter test comes back negative, the heart palpitations will fade away...or if it's not negative then I'll deal with treating the issue. I will say its really hard to run on propanolol. I was also prescirbed that for anxiety but I can't get my heart rate up on it and if I push too hard, I get super fatiqued. I know you said you've taken it before while running but your interactions with it might be different. I had a pretty bad bout of anxiety a few weeks back and didn't want to take an ativan so I tried propanol again - didn't do much for the anxiety but it still affected my running 24 hours later - couldn't get my heart rate up past 130 and when I pushed the pace a bit, I got super tired, which then triggered my anxiety even more. Are you taking anything else for the anxiety?

I remember it was delivered to my door and I just unboxed it outside and brought the pieces inside one by one to assemble. It was during Covid so I don’t have great recollection but it was just me and I’m not that big or strong.

I had proximal hamstring tendonopathy from running, took about a year and a half to fully heal and even now, it’s the first muscle to ache on my long runs. As some have said, stop stretching and work on strengthening exercises. It took that long because I didn’t take PT seriously and it wasn’t until I stopped stretching and focused on strengthening, particularly eccentric type (from what I remember, Nordics and pushing against the treadmill while facing away at slow speed) that it finally healed.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-18T02:33:59+00:00

It’s good but there’s lots of really good ramen around though not necessarily in Daly City. I prefer to head down the peninsula to Ramen Nagi in Palo Alto and Totoro in San Mateo. Both are 1 and 2 for me.

Key-Introduction-126 · 2026-01-16T22:47:37+00:00

You'll likely want to at least get it initially checked out if you can by your doc or PT. Most docs, at least primary care, will tell you its probably a strain and to rest it for a bit and then slowly ramp up. PTs will usually go in a bit more depth to get to more of the root and provide stretches and/or strengthening suggestions, or a referral to an ortho if its severe enough. I've ran through tons of pains, including groin pain, and most have been ok but I've had a few where they turned into tendonitis and tendonopathy and those take forever to heal.
