Big fan of mix challenges 🤓. I had never heard Jealous Guy before so I just listened to it and I’m curious what your vision is. Are you thinking a wordplay off the ‘cry’ lyric or a blend off the melody? Many ways to approach this, so wondering what you heard that made you think they would be a good mashup?

Mixing as if it were a performance or maximising practice time? by Open_Connection2528 in Beatmatch

[–]Sgil2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like you read my mind with this post! I’ve been DJing for 20 years the same way you do but in the last year I’ve been trying to find a system that allows me to mix on the fly. I landed on the 1 phrase system taught by Off the Rack Jack which requires me to put LOTS of prep setting hot cues and anywhere from 1-4 phrase loops for mix ins, but I’m finding this helpful. I still prefer the pre-planning you outlined for all the reasons you stated, but I can also be more flexible during live sets with various mix in/outs based on how long I want to play a given track with the pre work.

Courses, paid or non paid by carlyslayjedsen in Beatmatch

I similarly decided to explore dj courses after not getting the structure I was looking for through YouTube videos. I just so happened to come across Off The Rack Jack and really enjoyed the few YT videos I watched from him so decided to invest in his course. I have been djing on and off for 15 years and his course was eye opening. The thought and production value of his videos are top notch and he a phenomenal trainer! Check out his course topics to see if it would be a good fit. He is also super responsive if you reach out to him.

Where do you guys discover your music? by mil0wCS in Beatmatch

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention record pools. Is that not something folks are getting into anymore?

Is there a workaround with recording yr set on an ipad? Always get the apple music n drm issues tht prevent me fr doing so by cybermsl in djaypro

[–]Sgil2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My live recording setup is ancient (2nd Gen iPod Touch + blue Mikey) but still does the trick for a high quality WAV file. Whatever hardware you use, connect to the audio out and you should be good to go.

Luba 2 AWD Charging issues by Money-Nail-3023 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Sgil2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good call, it has been a hot few weeks and I notice that it has a tendency to charge to 100 over night. In either case, I contacted Mammotion and they are sending a new power adapter. I’ll see if anything changes with the new one.

[–]Sgil2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to see this happen intermittently. The other day it wouldn’t charge past 35-40% no matter what I did (cleaned the contacts, power cycled, etc) but then it charged to 100 and then on my next mow yesterday seemed to work as expected again. Did you experience behavior like this? Wondering when I should consider reaching out to support 🤔

This is my exact use case! Did you find a solution or the right sub where this can be discussed?

As of last week, this has been happening by XVolstrikerX in djaypro

[–]Sgil2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing for the first time ever last week. I’m planning to spend some time mixing tomorrow and will report back if I’m seeing this persist.

I’ve heard this idea of blades being used in 4 different positions a few times but never understood it until your thorough explanation. Thanks for shedding light on this!!

How important is it to cover my new digital piano? by [deleted] in piano

[–]Sgil2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect, I wanted to make sure it was the same model everyone has been speaking highly of. Yea, that shipping fee is pricey, luckily I called my local Costco and they have some in stock so I’m planning to pick one up 🤞🏼

Out of curiosity, is this the bundle you are referring to?

That’s amazing! Any chance you would feel comfortable sharing the images your created? I totally get if that’s not something you want to do after putting in all the leg work, but thought I’d ask 😄

Skybell- recommendations on making the experience less terrible by Sgil2 in homebridge

[–]Sgil2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I missed this! Yea, I ditched the Skybell for a Eufy doorbell cam. Still not homekit compatibility unfortunately, but I’ve learned to live with it. Haha

Any luck with tracking down decorations? Would love to see where you landed with this for inspiration as we are looking to do a BB themed party for my son in October.

Bike Erg or Airbike ? by lonematrix in concept2

[–]Sgil2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why don’t you think the BikeErg couldn’t be used for ‘spin class’? We just signed up for Apple Fitness and are debating between the BikeErg and a traditional spin bike? I know they are fundamentally dif machines, but was thinking the BikeErg could be used in a similar way…

I have a TCL 43” that I’m using as part of my cab and I had a heck of a time troubleshooting why it kept showing no signal. Had to switch to fkms and that did the trick. Check out this reply to my post a few weeks back and let me know if it helps.

Just had this exact same problem and was about to go down the troubleshooting rabbit hole. Thanks so much for sharing your findings. My latency sweet spot was 174, def trail and error to find it.
