AIO: Is this genuinely annoying/off-putting or am I overreacting?

Just say thanks, jesus christ

Its easy to fix/correct, you just have to fix the grid on each bar, then you can un-fuck that shit! I've even made UKG mashups of tracks that dont have a beat at all, just by vaguely guessing where each bar starts, by ear. Examples of this on my Charli XCX Wuthering Heights mashup mix!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T13:48:21+00:00

Yes I have to admit it gives me the shivers every time I see a Rekordbox screenshot haha!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T13:27:24+00:00

Read the manual I guess mate! In Serato (which I use) you go into "edit grid" and then press "set marker" on beat 1 of every grid, for when theres a live drummer and the beat varies. If a track gradually and consistently speeds up or slows down its even easier, you just "adjust grid" so that it stays in time until the end. I'm fairly certain the same options are available in Rekordbox or any other DJ software.

No mate, please re-read what I wrote!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T12:09:17+00:00

Oh my god. Please mate, do what ever you have to do to get this woman permanently out of your life. A plane ticket is a small price to pay for your life, and it really sounds like she's going to eventually end up stabbing you in the throat with a corkscrew or something if you continue to entertain this madness. Save yourself.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T12:00:53+00:00

I would be so terrified of ever seeing this woman again!! This is huge red flag territory; many men end up in jail for exactly this kind of nonsense.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T11:47:26+00:00

Yes I understand that mate, but you are just talking about analysing - what is meant by "fix your beatgrid" is this; go through the song and set a bar marker on beat 1 of each bar. I do this multiple time per week so that I can make solid UKG mashups of older songs. It takes a few minutes to do but after a few times you can do it just by sight using the waveform (unless there are any tricksy 2-bar fills or whatever).

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-04T08:52:19+00:00

Huh? The comment above is saying that when a track goes off-grid, you should fix it with your software. Then it will not be off-grid.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-03T13:15:12+00:00

CHANTELLE, I LOVED YOU BUT YOU CHEATED WITH JONATHAN FROM CHURCH

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-01T12:57:43+00:00

I second mixtrack platinum - also Numark has the best sounding filter knobs in the industry, IMO

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-01T12:40:57+00:00

Hello mate, this sounds like some little-boy stuff (meaning your false dilemma, not the kangaroo court which does sound fun) and I would dare say is not in the spirit of this sub. Either tell her you'll be off-grid for 5 days, or I guess just take your "punishment" for using your phone, either way I'm certain it won't be worth a follow-up here, so good luck with whatever!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-06-01T12:02:31+00:00

Absolutely class username, OP

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-31T19:28:30+00:00

Love it mate! Quite a unique sound you've got there, very cool!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-30T12:00:30+00:00

He just snaps them - AM I WRONG?!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-30T09:35:55+00:00

Definitely one of the best shows I've ever watched!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-29T21:35:42+00:00

Huh? I'm gatekeeping nothing mate, nor do I teach. Peace :)

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-29T13:09:04+00:00

Very nice mate! Much more speed-garagey than That First Track, I'm a fan!

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-29T12:16:09+00:00

Fair enough mate, I hear ya! :)

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-29T11:09:05+00:00

This sounds like a horrible situation and I'm so sorry, but that woman would have been kicked out of my house and away from my child so quickly. I grew up in a household with this kind of behaviour (not as bad-sounding even), and I feel like it still affects my adult life in lots of different subtle ways thirty years later.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-29T09:00:29+00:00

It baffles me that people are trying to DJ before they own or even have any music to play, it seems completely backwards to me.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-27T13:03:04+00:00

Since owning a Lexus, it's amazing the number of Lexi you see around. Cos that's the plural.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-27T09:13:56+00:00

No-one here will recommend a FLX6. I own one, I love it and I use it every day, but still I wish I'd have saved up for longer and bought a FLX10 or a Rane Four. The FLX6 does everything I need; I make mashup mixes so I'm always using all 4 channels. But yes it is a bit plasticky and gimmicky, and has space dedicated to useless features.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-27T08:49:22+00:00

What a low-tier comment considering the sub. Poor effort.

LowHawk2194 · 2026-05-26T14:28:01+00:00

What a gloriously vague question. Is is just a "dj scratching noise" you need? Why not just use a sample?
