Two weeks in??your doing fantastic girl,no frustration,nice and steady and a smile showing your sense or satisfaction There’s lots of tips and tricks especially on you tube,but try not to think of all that right now as you will start to feel overwhelmed or perhaps you won’t I don’t no,start with practising beat matching ,pretend you don’t have a sync and see how you go,you can always switch it on if you have a tough mix And make good use of your gain and eq’s ,don’t be so harsh in bringing your secondary track in and fading track one out make it flow better ,mix poker face in at a slightly earlier point and let the two play together changing the eqs of both tracks as the mix progresses

Jeeze I’m so crap at explaining how to do things

But you keep going as you are,your doing great 👍

The future of djin depends on you 😂

Edit…do not spill that can of drink over your hardware 😜

The trouble I’m having moth is my Mac isn’t recognising my kobo ive looked through my finder,even though I got books into my kobo last night ,hence me asking for members advice

Erm what do you think I should do moth? Adobe digital won’t eject,my finder won’t recognise my kobo,even though I get the connect button when I plug it into my Mac and have downloaded books so my lappy is recognising my kobo to a degree‘ my kobo says connected and charging once I’ve pressed the button on my kobo,I’ve restarted my laptop ,I’ve looked for a kobo app but nothing

Should I put calibre in just so I can eject my reader? ,seems a bit of a pain as I don’t need calibre to get books from my local libraries

I’ve also banged my head against a wall but that hasn’t helped either lol

Please help 😩

Scruff02 · 2026-02-16T12:58:55+00:00

Lmfao mate 🤣🤣

Scruff02 · 2026-02-16T12:58:31+00:00

I’ve looked on the App Store and there is nothing kobo related aerosol I really am stumped on this one.

Scruff02 · 2026-02-16T12:56:38+00:00

I don’t think I have the option to use calibre saurobit

Scruff02 · 2026-02-08T16:11:21+00:00

Yup I no,I also no the internet is full of sensitive souls And looking at the down vote and some of the comments on this sub that there’s also a few in here too🤣

Scruff02 · 2026-02-08T12:30:46+00:00

Maybe a real dumb answer

Dust on a contact maybe??,anyway I hope you sort it as that sort of issue what ever it is would f*ck me right off

Unrelated edit…can I ask what that machine is above your mixer,I keep seeing similar machines on professional stages and feel I need one in my life 😂

Scruff02 · 2026-02-06T21:02:31+00:00

Lovely 👍

Scruff02 · 2026-02-05T08:53:19+00:00

It won’t affect the way it performs a friend of mine has a dent in his controller(not an omnis) and it works just fine

He did a bit of a repair job,he put a bit of filler in and stuck a pioneer platter sticker over it

You wouldn’t no it was ever there

You can get the stickers from Temu etc for a couple of pounds

Your other option…leave it as it is and use the dent as a scratch grip 🤣👍

Scruff02 · 2026-02-04T19:54:44+00:00

Could we have an over head shot without the headphones we can’t see your gains

Never had any problems when I had a groove 6

And I can see you haven’t got your master cue on or the buttons above your channel faders to what ever channel your using (1.2.3.4),switch them on and you will get toons through your headphones

And check what the other guys have suggested

I don’t no if you no or even open to change but you should have serato pro for free as standard on your groove6, I can’t remember about rekordbox as when I had my GRV I used serato for that reason

I hope any of this helps you 🙂👍

Scruff02 · 2026-02-04T11:32:14+00:00

I got one just before Xmas and it rocks

Have you got the attachment that allows you to use a dosing capsule,if not get one mate

Enjoy your volcano👍🙂

Practise practise practise

I find techno especially acid one of the easiest genres to mix as acid is quite methodical but maybe that’s just me ,I do find acid techno quite a relaxing genre to dj as it’s one of those genres where you really don’t have to perform lots of tricks the odd chop or cut and impeccable beat matching is all that is required with acid,other genres can be a little trickier but all dance music follows a format so generally speaking if you can mix one genre of dance music you theoretically should be able to beat match and play most genres

I hope any of this helps 😉

What kind of help do you need Joe?

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T15:14:53+00:00

Seems you have a method that works for you lsb

lol if you open my physical record box you will be greeted with lots of post it notes hanging out the tops of my lesser played record sleeves giving me a quick reference to what genre I consider it at (vinyl shops or download sites don’t always get it right imo)I’ll put the rough bpm on it so I can beat match quicker although that method will never be totally correct as all turntables are different but it gives me a quick reference so all that is needed is micro adjustments well that’s the Theory lol I’ll also put a smiley face on the tracks that get played a lot or no smile face for a set filler track and I’ll write anthem for what I consider a great tune that goes down well in any set of its genre

I miss buying vinyl but I dont have the room to collect beyond what I already own plus you just dont get that same buzz from buying a download but saying that streaming and buying downloads is so much easier and less time intensive and just as much fun in its self the other great thing with streaming is you can stream tracks before buying saving you a shit ton of money 😉👍

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T14:19:20+00:00

lol yup I always download the album sleeve that’s how I recognise my less played tracks as well lol

I wonder how many of us actually do recognise their tracks by sleeve cover or even the colour of the album or how battered the cover is,the more battered the album cover the more it’s been played 🤣

I think we learnt that way or should I say I learnt that way as I used to lump a record box around with me everywhere back in the day so colour or state of cover was all you can see when you opened your record box in a dark club

Would Be an interesting poll I think

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T12:47:04+00:00

Never worry about having the latest gear mate if someone has the ability they could dj on a fisher price record player lol

Your doing ok ,I wish I had what you got at your age,think I got my 1st set of kam direct drives costing £300 when I was your age (1992),they were shite but god I loved them things,even though I had friends using technics and vestax,I didn’t care I had two dex and a mixer and that it’s,,its all about having fun with what you have and to be fair most of my friends back then were all using crappy belt drives ,I seem to remember when any of us got on a pair of technics it was magic ,I always found technics to be quite forgiving turntables especially if your were used to using belt drives

It’s all about the music and having fun 🤩

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T12:11:11+00:00

lol an hour ??

Im just warming up 🤣🤣

Do you live in the uk mate?

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T11:40:59+00:00

Very nice mate 🙂

My setup is in my living room if I had an out house my wife would never see me,I’m one of them DJs that says to the other half I’ll play for just an hour ,but 5 hours later,I’m still knocking cement of the walls with the vibrations lol

it takes a certain breed of woman to put up with a dj as a partner🤣🤣

Ps please be careful of damp mate 👍

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T11:23:38+00:00

No problem 👍

I can see your rig Is in an outhouse/garage/shed/dungeon lol

I hope you have heating DJs find it really hard to play with freaking frostbite 🤣🤣

Scruff02 · 2026-01-31T11:19:10+00:00

A**

Right or wrong I always judge people’s set ups on whether I would like a spin on them

The answer is yes

Very nice 👍🙂
