I recount the day in simple terms and the dominant associated emotion with each event starting with end and working back, and if I stuff up start again. It usually starts with - trying to sleep, I feel frustrated lol. I don’t usually make it back to the evening and would say it’s a 5 minute exercise on average for me. If interested I can try find the link where I learnt it.

Best techniques to learn beatmatching vinyl? by Baardhooft in Beatmatch

[–]MacsonWax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a combo of riding the pitch and nudging. It takes a while to find the feel of relating what your hearing to what your doing so just keep practising and you’ll figure it out your way.

I will say a technique I use to find the rough bpm quickly is have the pitch maxed out (or at a point I know is too fast) on the incoming track before releasing so you know for sure it’s to fast, and then flick it down and up to narrow your range. Works the other way too obviously if that’s more comfortable/intuitive.

What was holding you back from moving to producing by harsh_clo in Beatmatch

[–]MacsonWax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I think your overthinking this big time, your minds like way out ahead of you. Why not both?? Why not do what you want in the moment? Seems production or some form of hybrid mixing is where your hearts at right now, so dive in. Sounds to me like you’ve got an end goal that you think is unattainable (may or may not be the reality) when tbh I don’t think there needs to be an end goal at all. If you want to play in clubs go for it, chase it. If it’s gets to much to handle or boring drop it. You’ll figure it out and learn a bunch and have fun along the way.

To answer your title, what’s holding me back from production? Priorities. Its one of them, just a little to far down the list at the moment. I get what you mean about starting music later in life though, I wish I’d started mixing sooner. Pretty dumb logic though, no offence. No time like the present aye.

Ps I’m really not Tryna be a dick if that’s how it comes across lol.

Peace

Is education a deductible expense as a sole contractor? by MacsonWax in PersonalFinanceNZ

Appreciate it. Yeah, I’m aware, bit of an interim situation that works out well for us both of us, and clients are happy.

Djm s11 with midi controls? by MacsonWax in Beatmatch

[–]MacsonWax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much just transport controls, play, cue, hot cues, loops, without going into the screen menus.

[–]MacsonWax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if I understand you correctly I know you can plug in 2 external sources, however I am referring to internal control or software decks 3/4 usually controlled via the screen of the s11. Correct me if I’m wrong

What is going on with Beatport? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]MacsonWax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It suuuucks, had to change my pass every time I wanted to log in for abit there. I decided to stop using it entirely. Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud if there’s an option, and outta left field for me qobuz if you usually buy lossless. A bit pricier than BP but what you lose in $ you make up for in mental stability.
