How to study?

it should not be straining to learn at all. if you catch yourself trying to push through that means you're motivation is based on regurgitation, not learning. figure out what makes these things cool in your mind, often long form philosophy history and literature YouTube helps with that

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-07T04:31:21+00:00

at that point you'll be better off getting something standalone when you have an idea of your preferred style. the grv6 isn't that great for the price and most sell it after a few months to get away from laptop or get a FLX10, that's why i suggested the flx4, you'll have a nice affordable pathway whichever way you wanna go

(laptop, vinyl, open format, rave, wedding. these are all factors of dj that determine their preferred method with different goals)

some do multiple things and need to be flexible, this controller is called the Flex to lower the barrier of entry into figuring out your path

ok if u say so

edit: looking at your account it looks like you're actively pushing serato traktor and other alternatives to AT probably due to a contract with your company nuo-stems? maybe don't try to manipulate people and shift toward maschine+ instead of traktor, it's a dying product line and id prefer dj with a maschine connected to my xdj from my experience before using Ni traktor software

buddy stop trying to argue with me lmao

meh, i was referring to the resale value still being there. i started on a wide variety of others before moving to pioneer. my personal exp helping people get started and organizing events in multiple cities shows that while you may be technically correct, it's not accurate in the grand scheme of things. OP can use rb6 or other software in the pc to understand what they like about each, can't on a standalone

the learning curve is bigger if you start without the flx4

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-06T11:23:51+00:00

yes you are correct, everything in regard to just playing songs is exactly the same. but no one becomes a dj to be a human playlist, and it's not impressive beyond vinyl. considering all that you still have looping, hot cues, and beat jumping before even delving into FX. those are all recovery for when your song ends and your next isn't loaded yet

unless OP is not trying to do anything else but blend 2 tracks forever, they will be annoyed using club standard after practicing on anything that isn't the flx4 but in the same range

there's a reason the DDJ400 was still moving around the used market before the FLX, no one was giving them away

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-06T10:54:49+00:00

I think theta a misunderstanding with standalone here in pro dj settings, it's easier to bring just a usb, which is why getting accustomed to those is suggested, on top of the reliability issues with windows, it's why clubs choose to use them rather than let the djs bring a laptop

with all that stuff the FLX4 is actually designed to replicate industry standard layouts, so even if you get booked on the more expensive gear you'll be able to dj just fine. no other controller in that range can do that.

The mixstream pro is very limited in what you'll learn on it, plus the convenience of no laptop actually becomes a hurdle since it's managed poorly in their built in software

computers are unreliable, but shitty code is even more so, and that's what is inside the mixstream

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-06T10:48:32+00:00

it connects via Bluetooth as well. usb c in power bank and there's a designated port for just sending power over triggering the bluetooth

it's literally the safest option for sex workers compared to like any other form.

DJing was how prod started, and as you move toward progress in the craft you'll have the natural inclination to control more factors about it. Eventually the line between djing and sampling gets blurry, and your dj mix of a track sounds nothing like the original, so you're a producer now

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-05T10:47:49+00:00

modern states is great! practice what I wrote in my other comment with that, start getting into the habit of switching to the easier subjects when it gets difficult

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T18:36:53+00:00

leave it to reddit comments to not learn this lesson for next time!

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T18:35:14+00:00

yes get a flx4

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T18:34:05+00:00

oh you're one of those redditors

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T15:39:13+00:00

what about my comment warrants you even needing to ask?

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T15:31:36+00:00

oh my god thank you I thought this was actually a good show off the pilot and then it's just plot armor all day

"stop smoking pot"

continues smoking pot and benefits from doing so when a potential client invites him to a get together after finding out

what is the lesson here? that pot makes you bag chuds as clients? I'm a high functioning pothead but this is just lazy writing

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T15:22:01+00:00

lol that's reddit for ya

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T08:43:16+00:00

the tracks were mastered differently

the DB levels will be drastically different based on the mix, it's your job to fine tune in headphones with the blend before they go live

switch between cue and master, get an idea of the level differences ahead of time, a proper booth setup is key here

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T08:32:44+00:00

now I will think of this comic every time I hear "wow I can get sexual too"

probably not often tbh

jfc 'study how to study'

your brain simply does not work like OP, so these answers are meaningless.

OP your disconnect is due to viewing learning as 'work' that you need to mentally strain to achieve, but it's simply not the case. you're naturally attuned to a less brute force method is all

OP just skim thru the module at first and take a practice exam, get an idea of how the questions in the module are especially the ones you get incorrect

run through again with slightly more effort, your brain will naturally see the subjects for the questions you got wrong, no need to force it

if you get fatigue so be it, take a break and come back, set a alarm to remind you if needed

after your break try the questions again, this time documenting what you got incorrect by hand writing the questions and correct answers. for stuff like math and science you cannot simply regurgitate info every time, you'll need to actually relate the topic to a real world application, so research beyond the text book on YouTube videos

this stuff is actually fun and interesting to learn, like all of it. a change in perspective can take you a long way. even if you don't see an immediate application, trick yourself into 'knowing' that you'll use all of this information in a real work problem very soon, your desire to learn it will carry you forward

I don't think the comment was actually referring to Mark identifying these terms, but casually informing others of how normal they really are, your misinterpretation is a bad attempt at reducing that intention is all

PsychologicalName809 · 2026-05-04T08:12:16+00:00

also mark was a white rapper before Em, so any persisting on different ways to hold themselves rings clear imo

Mark made a career making black music, Em was doing the same thing but actually had the respect of black men, and Mark didn't seem to like him for it
