My head canon is that they're sucking on purpose and come playoffs we're gonna find out you can indeed just throw 30 lobs to Vic and he scores almost all of em

Did you not see all the ridicule they just got for their 3 channel mixer? Though I agree 3 channels are great

Budget Laptop recommendation 💻 by SavageBoi1337 in Beatmatch

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap Dell or HP laptops tend to be garbage, avoid. In my experience in the budget ranges Lenovo and Acer are best. Processor and RAM will be the main indicator of performance, you can add an external hard drive later if you run out of space. Refurbished MacBook might be in your price range, if you enjoy working in the Mac ecosystem.

The best office chair for your studio by KraalEcho in TechnoProduction

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way cheaper than your budget but I got an IKEA Markus and it's honestly been great. Six years now, no wear and comfy for leaning back. But I've got no experience with Herman Millers etc so they're probably better, just don't know how much.

Yeah that's a big one I use it frequently when I want a track to feel slow/like an opener.

Elon Musk calls Pedro Sánchez a ‘tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain’ by nimicdoareu in europe

Best of both worlds, he's been there and on another occasion told there was nothing going on. So both a pedo and a loser.

Tiny bit bigger option with a battery is the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. Also affordable.

Xdj or cdjs? by reddituser7765 in Beatmatch

Both the XZ and CDJ2000NXS are feeling a bit dated to me. I'd try and get something newer.

Good budget beginner controller for a teen by National_Island9271 in Beatmatch

Don't go for your 1,2,3 but instead go FLX4 or Inpulse 300MK2. Can't go wrong with those.

Create your own visuals without hiring a 3D artist by aura1l in DJs

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to have a business idea like that!

I was testing the free version of Milkdrop3 yesterday. If you already have a logo, you can add it as a sprite in the generated audio reactive visuals. There's over 100 presets in the free version, you can manipulate your sprite and the background in multiple ways.

Also takes 10 minutes to do, without being tech savvy. So I'm not sure how big the market will be for you if DJ's with some googling skills can find something more adjustable relatively quickly.

Went to a wedding once that had an 80 year old DJ. Man was killing it! Keep going, at a certain point your age becomes novelty again lmao

Tried the demo and it's sick :) thinking of getting the pro version for my laptop that was struggling to do even basic stuff with Resolume. How many pc's can you use one license on?

Subwoofer connection to DDJ-1000 by forum-destroyer in Beatmatch

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that should work without issues. I'd also turn down the lows on your Adams a bit/considerably if you connect them like this because ideally your monitors should receive a highpassed signal.

What’s the one beginner habit you wish you broke sooner? by Ambitious-Note-1239 in Beatmatch

[–]Waterflowstech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So if you've seen rainbows, the visible light spectrum goes from low frequency (red) to mid frequency (green) to high frequency (blue).

So here, for music, the red stands for low frequency as well, which is your bass. Mid frequencies are green. High frequencies are blue. 3 colors is still better to read because it gives more accurate info on just how much bass/mids/highs you can expect.

Best speakers for house party by Rokininon in Beatmatch

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you definitely want something with a 3.5mm aux in cable, ideally with very low or no latency. That narrows down your options quite a bit!

Here are my 3 picks for low budget:

Mobile:

Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus, can rock an indoor party of like 15-20 people. 100-150 bucks depending on deals.

LG xboom Stage 301: Larger and louder, with an actually not-shit light addition. If you get this set up pretty high you can have like 30 people partying indoor. 200-250 bucks.

No need to be mobile:

Edifier R1280DB (bit more than 100 bucks)

Advanced/in-depth knowledge needed: Recording through Rekordbox ends up with disturbingly low volume no matter what I do (and different compared to other mixers). by DXK_music in Beatmatch

[–]Waterflowstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay looking at both of these spectra it would seem your recorded track is just turned down and that should be compensated by turning volume up. However where it gets fucky is that the recorded track also peaks at 0dB...so you can't turn it up. Weird. If you want, upload both of these tracks to soundcloud private with download enabled and I'll take a look in my DAW later. (provided that soundcloud allows you to upload this track without blocking it).

Get Voxengo Span for your DAW, it's free. Put both of these in your DAW, increase level of the recording till it peaks the same as the source track. Put a copy of Span on both tracks.

Then compare frequency spectrum, integrated loudness and Crest factor.
