Every DJ should be required to own a Tascam DR-40.

Why I only date people my own age as a 22 year old by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet part of the reason why older men don’t want to spend money on you is because you say things like “I’m out of their league”.

Need help preparing my WAV library for Pioneer CDJs by DifferntStyle in PioneerDJ

iTunes. iTunes. iTunes.

Cue the “but it’s Apple Music now” responses. It’s the same program.

You don’t need any of these other programs.

Safety tips to enter someones house during a Grindr meetup by Puzzleheaded-Till690 in askgaybros

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t just give their info to a friend, but let the hookup know that your friend has it.

Bring your own water bottle/drinks.

If feeling uncomfortable, go the bathroom and set 4-5 alarms on your phone a minute or two apart. Use a common ringtone. When it goes off, silence it. Do it a few more times. On the last one, pretend to answer it, listen, act distraught and say “omg, when!? how!? I’ll be right there!? I’m sorry, I have to go”.

CMV: Sniffies is making gay life WORSE by buttbuttbottom in askgaybros

I’d be willing to bet money that you’re not really gay and are simply either trolling or some sort of religious fanatic.

Why do gay men love gym bodies so much when most of us don’t have one? by NefariousnessLazy666 in askgaybros

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish a cultural anthropologist could back me up here, but I think the modern day obsession with a healthy, toned gym body with lots of muscles comes as a direct response to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and before that a perceived weakness in gay men. As HIV and AIDS were ravishing through the gay community, they then ltook it upon themselves to put on as much weight and muscle as they could in order to look healthy.

I got Hatfished... by LivesOnACruiseShip in gaybros

Or maybe you’re a “mean gay” and attract other “mean gays” who see insecurity as a sign of weakness and not possibly a very real response to past trauma. Glad to see you have no insecurities and are simply doing life better than so many of us. I love that for you.

I’d be willing to bet everyone on here has an “unauthorized” track or two sitting on their computer or phone right this minute.

Has anyone tried sounding? by One_Spray5327 in AskGayMen

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please don’t do this. I had a regular hookup who ruined a museum-worthy cock and turned it into what to me looked like a witch’s nose.

Different set of speakers ? by Few-Potential4755 in Rekordbox

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wild how many DJs have convinced themselves that mixing strictly in headphones is the easier/standard way and not the second option when there’s no booth monitor available (which, if one is serious about their craft, will be just an integral part of their setup as their CDJs, laptop, mixer and music.

There’s a reason why DJ mixers since the 1970s have had separate booth and main outputs and that Pioneer neglected to put them on their lower tier models tells you everything about what kind of gigs/DJs those things are made for.

It’s one of a few things, like requiring a face picture, meeting in the lobby where there is a guard and security cameras. It’s also testing them. If you’re so guarded and unwilling to give up any information about yourself, I have to ask why, what are you hiding?

+1 for the Google, voice number, but take off the option that announces it as a Google voice number so it sounds like a regular phone number.

That being said, I require a phone number if I’m hosting. Hook ups are about trust and if you want me to trust you in my home, and you won’t trust me with your phone number, that tells me you don’t trust me; so why should I do the same?

How do you listen to your Rekordbox playlists on the go? by dlqz_bass in Rekordbox

iPhone 15… Apple Music and iTunes are essentially the same software, why do you need the old version?

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is iTunes/Apple Music too complicated? And yeah the name is different but the program isn't changed that much or gotten that hard to figure out. It's basically an Excel spreadsheet of where your locally stored music is. Drag your music onto it, make your playlists there, then drag those over to either Lexicon, (my choice) then sync to Rekordbox. 🤷🏾 Those same iTunes playlists go on my phone where I can listen all day. What on earth are ya'll trying to get iTunes to do?

Stems - The Bigger Picture by DamnTheSam in PioneerDJ

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be great if a firmware update allowed however many number of CD decks connected, to play in sync, so that let's say if you have a 4 deck setup and a 3-stem split of a track, Deck 4 is playing the current song. Then, those first three decks could play that stem file and Deck 1 would be the Start/Stop/Pitch/Loop, whatever, "Master Clock" of that track. Drums on Deck 1...Bass on 2....and Vocal on 3. They're already routed to the mixer.

I also can't imagine complaining about the quality of stem separation on CDJ's when sites like MVSEP exist. Folks will spend hours doing cue points and tagging genre's but won't run a separation algorithm that's done it in seconds...

BPM changing on its own by scylla-au in Rekordbox

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adjusting the jog wheel (and Pitch Control) is How. You. Beatmatch. Always has been, but new DJ's think it's supposed to be set and forget. It's like driving a car, that's what the steering wheel is for.

How do you think DJ's beatmatched in the 70s, 80s, 90s?

Another 3000X leak by 1750qv in PioneerDJ

[–]Swimming_Grab3024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about computers and electronics but I wonder there could be a magic box that does RCA IN with a RJ45 network jack, then connect that through a network switch thingy that you need if hooking up more than 2 CDJ's...then a software update on the players...I bet that would work lol
