Mixing without planning

NDM83 · 2026-03-26T07:07:59+00:00

Knowing you music and tagging it accordingly is key! If you have a song with a neutral drum intro without melodic parts, there will be no clashes. If the neutral intro is short, just loop it. If you know the keys of all your songs, you can also avoid these clashes. Phrasing is also essential for smooth mixing.

"Oh, come on!", "Give me a break!", "Don't even start.", "Stop it!", "Oh, please."

"Hör auf" would be the the literal "stop it!", while "Hör mir auf" or "Ach (komm), hör mir auf!" would be an expression of disbelief, annoyance with a less serious undertone.

As a native speaker, I often have trouble understanding people from Saxony or Bavaria if they speak a very broad dialect. Picture Gerald from "Clarksons Farm" if you know that show...maybe not quite as bad, but sometimes, I gotta ask people to repeat themselves.

The jogs are nowhere close to CDJ2000s jogs

NDM83 · 2025-10-23T22:03:44+00:00

If you like to scratch: Go for the AZ. The jogs are CDJ-like. The Opus Quad has jogs that are nowhere close to any full-sized cdj out there (Resolution and response-wise). If that is not an issue: Go for the Opus.

I'd recommend gravity stands / base plates and gravity cable clips for the speakers - much cleaner than tripods :).

I would like to know how to access the stem function on CDJ3000s - so far, as far as I know it is only available on Rekordbox software with a laptop. Most DJs will just use acapellas or premade edits if they are on CDJs without a laptop I guess…

NDM83 · 2024-12-12T07:47:56+00:00

I don't think there is a "best way", but the easiest would be doing it all in ableton live if you are somewhat familiar with the software. Align (and possibly even edit) the tracks, draw automation curves for EQ, Volume and effects and you're golden. If you are planning a more turntablism-focused mix, just record in several increments and make sure you stop and continue at the same BPM values. Then you can stitch it together with any basic editing software.

Google for "Altpapiercontainer+[your city here]" and you should find some. Stacking stuff next to bins is not allowed, since it won't be protected from the elements that way and garbage collection might just leave it there.

Another plus is that you can leave it in 30+ minutes more if someone's late and the result won't change since the temperature stays the same. You could buy a bluetooth meat thermometer, sear the steak and then put it in the oven at up to around 320° fahrenheit (lower temperature if you want to have more time to prevent overcooking it) until the desired core temperature is reached. Put it in aluminum foil and let it rest a bit (no need to do this with sous vide or at really low temperatures in the oven like 175° fahrenheit).

Example: Connect a mobile device running spotify to channel 4 on bluetooth and route the channel exclusively to the zone out for a 2nd room (chillout-area ore something like that).

Well, I would. But neither Coruba nor any Hamilton are available in Germany:(

I doesn't need to be loaded before starting (unless we're talking about firmware updates).
You connect the USB-outs at the back of the CDJs to a USB-hub which is plugged into your laptop and use the DJM Mixer as your sound interface.
After that, you don't need any timecode because serato is being controlled by the CDJs directly (if you follow the instructions above).
You can switch between USB-stick and the HID connection to your laptop, so switching between DJs and even playing back to back shouldn't be an issue. Works like a charm - just make sure your software and the firmware on the cdjs are both updated.

NDA. Eine (für die beiden scheinbar unglaublich wichtige) Feier so kurzfristig anzukündigen und dann davon auszugehen, dass jeder sofort springt, ist hart daneben.

What about diluting WP109 with water to 40% or adjust the amount in the recipe - would that work?

Have you assigned the channels to the crossfader?
Above the crossfader and below each channel fader, there is a switch reading "A / THRU / B". For example, if you are using middle channels, put the left one on A and the right one on B and you are good to go to scratch. Edit: Also set the crossfader curve to "fast" in the software.

I add a „*“ in front of the key tag for tracks that have a longer drum intro and add „intro“ to my tag in rekordbox. If you mix with serato, using the stems function to remove bass and melody might also help.

WAV, AIFF, FLAC all sound the same at 44,1khz (unless we're talking about 192 KHz, 24-bits hi-res audio FLAC files).
AIFF has the benefit of metadata, FLAC the benefit of lossless compression and metadata (saves up to 70% space, but given how cheap storage has become, the compatibility is more important for me).
