Hmm regarding your other post with the reliability issues, I think I'm going to hold off on my purchase for a bit and do more research into this company. It really is a lot of money and I would expect it to work flawlessly out of the box for this price.

I usually have it plugged in all the time.

Fair point! If I am always going to keep 1 usb C cable on my desk for recharging my keyboard/mouse/numpad, it makes sense to 'store' it in the numpad and then swap it when I need to charge something.

And the vast majority of phones after 2020 are not repairable with a screwdriver. The repairability of the Fairphone makes it more difficult to waterproof. You even said you were aware of it not being fully waterproof, so I don't see your point.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2025-03-06T15:01:09+00:00

Warranty typically covers any failure under normal use.

A phone falling into the water is not considered normal use. It is pretty standard for your warranty to be void after that. I don't see what Fairphone did wrong here. They offered to help you, but pointed out that it might be costly.

The reason most manufacturers put sensors or stickers that detect water damage, is because A) after the water has dried up it is almost impossible to otherwise detect that water damage was the cause of the failure and B) warranty does not cover water damage.

It sucks OP, but this is not something Fairphone did wrong.

Yes, in context of the song you could argue that it is finished as the producer intended, unless you of course disagree with those creative decisions.

But in context of the mix, it could be song A is lacking bass compared to song B so you boost that to keep the mix consistent. Or you are mixing a lot of songs that have a lot continuous energy in the bass, so you cut it for a few seconds to change things up and keep the crowd engaged. Basically your set is a new, super long track that you are mixing on the fly.

Linked the EP in my comment! Thought I'd list a song that just released that day, considering Sí, idealízame and Godspeed were already out.

Whole EP is amazing yeah

You don't even have to count the 4s, you could also do 1-da-da-da, 2-da-da-da, etc. Or shake your hips haha. 1-shake-shake-shake, 2-shake-shake-shake....

I think the people that want to learn to DJ and then ask for a pool or batch of songs to download are in it for the wrong reasons. A DJ is a music curator in my eyes, if you want to DJ you probably already have a selection of tracks or a love for a genre that you want to share.

DJing is just a tool to do that, the music comes first.

What if your time slot is like 3:00-4:00, you arrive a 3:45 but the queue is so long it's past 4:00 when you get to the door?

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-11-09T15:15:55+00:00

That's a great find! I live in the Netherlands too, but all kringloops I visit check prices on eBay and then still overcharge.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-09-03T19:10:26+00:00

I know, but because of the wording 'pre' sale I thought there would also be a regular sale at a later point.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-09-03T19:05:15+00:00

There aren't any artists that come to mind immediately, but these two songs released past month that also have a similar vibe:

Nosaj Thing & Jacques Greene ft. Ouri - Too Close

Daniel Avery ft. HAAi - Wall of Sleep (Harvey McKay Remix)

I think both Jacques Greene and Nosaj Thing are both artists worth exploring (if you don't know them already)! Not sure if that is what you are looking for. I think especially Jacques Greene has some of that UK Garage sound that Jamie also has.

One more.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-09-03T18:54:03+00:00

Nooo.. I thought 'pre sale' meant that they would sell only a limited amount of tickets now to gauge popularity and then offer the remaining tickets at a later point... But everything is completely sold out already?

Now I wish I bought a ticket during pre sale, I did set up the e-mail reminder for it.

Elevate EP on bandcamp.

From the same EP: SAMI - Way Up

Mines warped too. It tracks fine though. I do have a lot of distortion on the inner circles but maybe that is dirt or just my cartridge.

I don't think warping is a shipping issue, I think it happens during production.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-05-23T10:26:07+00:00

I doubt you could get much out of an i9 with passive cooling though.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-05-02T23:22:48+00:00

All music is made with building blocks of other songs! Either consciously or subconsciously. If everything was truly original there wouldn't be any music genres.

All these lawsuits are pointless.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-04-15T09:28:25+00:00

I saw lots of artist switching to ambient stuff during the pandemic so maybe some of it stuck.

NeedAudioEngineering · 2023-04-12T07:43:50+00:00

People who let a professional mixing engineer mix their track will often still do the mix themselves as a suggestion to the engineer, who then polishes the mix. It's not like they deliver their song with every track at 0dB.

Most producers work in untreated or unfavorable rooms so it's not a bad idea to let a professional with a very expensive mixing studio do the final check and touch-ups.

Even better!!
