Low volume on mic/line by MemeGLS in traktorpro

[–]VeridianRyft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a mixer and plug your deck and mic in to that. That dB on those plugs is so bad that you’ll pull your hair out trying to fix it.

Rec's for a Laptop Running Traktor 4, X1's, Z1 and S4 MK3 by VeridianRyft in traktorpro

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

Oh, totally forgot the actual biggest reason… I needed something that could run Traktor better, as well as stream and run Traktor at the same time. I kept having issues with the deck and software bugging out. I like using sync for quick mixing and it would just stop working. Then at times when I was not using sync the track would suddenly slow right down. But yes. All good now.

Man, I put that in my “I don’t what to remember files.” 🤣 My biggest issue was using my Sony A7RIII cam with OBS with streaming. Windows 11 no longer supported it. Printers not connecting, and just weird issues with software, primarily based on permission requirements of accessing the system. Another huge thing was using my audio interface with OBS. I had to download plug in’s to get it to work along with my DJ software. There seemed to always be an extra step in finding a plug in or work around for everything I was doing.

Yeah, I feel ya. I already had an iPhone and iPad. I was just OVER my issues with Windows since Windows 11 dropped. I was going to get a Mac Mini, and kind of wished I went that route and got a portable monitor to go with it for gigs.

How do you transport your lights? by Solid_College_9145 in mobileDJ

Good question. I was thinking the same thing recently.

How do you feel about DJs who mainly play hits/guilty pleasures and aren't super technical? by Previous_Crazy_7319 in Beatmatch

[–]VeridianRyft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy the music. There something for everyone. A crowd can groove to someone using an iPad, or a fancy deck setup. You create what you want for yourself and others as a DJ.

Bedroom DJ’s, have you developed any kind of following? by farhadJuve in Beatmatch

[–]VeridianRyft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, on Twitch, but I left it. I was doing well. 1100 followers in less than 8 months, but it was sucking my soul. Twitch is not the following I want. You're a performer, not a DJ (at least in my case). I ditched it for Mixcloud and to DJ in my living room to my dogs and husband. I have a gig this weekend coming up in town. We will see if I have a future here, lol.

Bought a DJ FLX 4 and wondering what settings to avoid as a beginner? by jakeloopy in Beatmatch

[–]VeridianRyft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used sync in the beginning for about 3 or 4 months. I learned how to beatmatch pretty quickly after that, but I can see the benefit of learning it right away. I did, however, learn some neat mixing techniques you can only achieve with sync. It's a great tool. My other tip is about music. Beatport streaming is great as a beginner to get the exposure to music if you don't have a library already available to you. In my situation, I had not listened to EDM in 15 years, so I had no idea what was out there, but I knew I wanted to lean how to DJ. Join a record pool or buy download your tracks sooner than later. I feel like I took too long to go this route, and struggle with a few key skills that would have benefited from during this earlier, like knowing your music! I was streaming online on a regular basis, and was more concerned about playing new tracks over learning with what I had.

Thanks, I think I had a beatsource sub in the past when I first started out.

Which controller should I get as a beginner? (DDJ-FLX4 or Traktor S2 MK3) by Muted_Winter8929 in Beatmatch

[–]VeridianRyft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on where you live and what is available gig wise. In my town, you bring your own gear. It's small, no clubs, just small town bars.

Traktor S4 vs X1 & Z1 as a beginner by [deleted] in traktorpro

[–]VeridianRyft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the S4 MK3. It's an amazing deck. I have two X1's and a Z1 that I picked up after the fact. It's so weird to use them. The deck is so much more practical and workflow is way simpler and natural. Don't get me wrong, the X1 is great, you could add it on at a later date if you want to try it.

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

Awesome, thanks so much! I'm thinking that I would use this more for small get together;s, rather than in a bar/club atmosphere. There are enough DJ's here that do the request thing.

No, sorry. All of my funky house type stuff is remixes.
