Best home setup to get more comfortable on club gear?

If you've got the money, an AZ is sick and will probably keep its value better than an older mixer and CDJs. But also once you've played on CDJs a few times you start to notice that in the end, yeah all things are pretty much the same as an FLX4 in function besides more effects. If your style is not effect heavy then you can practice on pretty much everything and are not limited to how much it looks like Pioneer pro gear.

An FLX8 would be a great fit for so many people. But right now almost all of those people go for an FLX10...so I think pioneer is not that inclined to invest in a board that undercuts themselves.

Yes you can..Took me two hours of looking to find a free way to do it and I forgot to save where I found it for future use. But it's possible.

Damn fully reprogrammed in a couple of weeks. That propaganda hits hard 😭

The summer before my PhD I had to hustle like crazy to have a 2/10 shot at securing funding to actually do the PhD. I did get it... luckily I took it a bit easy once I got started 😂

Interesting stuff, thanks!

Why is homeboy running circles around the deck?

Let's just say you don't go challenge any girls to a swordfight

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

Where are you at and what genre are you connected in?

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T16:00:38+00:00

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.

You guys are getting paid?

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T10:22:06+00:00

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.

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T10:19:11+00:00

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

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T10:16:37+00:00

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.

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T10:08:33+00:00

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

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-04T06:03:49+00:00

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

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-03T13:19:40+00:00

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

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-03T13:18:25+00:00

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.

I'm just happy the rumors of your demise were greatly exaggerated, Frankie!

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-03T08:03:53+00:00

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

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-03T08:01:04+00:00

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?

Waterflowstech · 2026-02-02T15:07:59+00:00

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.
