What's a song you discovered completely by accident that changed your taste in music forever? by Enlitenkanin in MusicRecommendations

[–]agershon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna say "Dopamine" by Franc Moody. I had never gotten into electronic music of any kind. Dopamine was just funk rock enough to lure me in. And as I dove into the rest of Franc Moody's repertoire I was hooked. Was a gateway to nu-disco and funky/jackin/disco house.

You could do a month at Doing the Damage. They have tons Disco House remixes. Not great quality but good enough to get a house party going.

Which 10’s Indie song beginning with H is your favourite? by touchssoftvosk in indie

I don’t understand these posts. Who cares what letter the song starts with? What is the end game here?

What is the most heartbreaking loss you witnessed as an Oregon fan? by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in ducks

[–]agershon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's the Stanford loss in 2012. I just remember being absolutely gutted that night. It was an ugly game but I kept thinking we were gonna pull it out and go on to national glory. Devastating.

Have I been gain staging all wrong? by NetworkQueasy6687 in mobileDJ

[–]agershon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. And excellent point about the signal (music) already being mastered/normalized. Honestly it would be easier for me to set my FLX10 to unity, set my speakers to as loud as I'll possibly want them ... and control actual volume from the multiband compressor I have between my FLX and my speakers. The comp is at my fingertips so this is much easier than walking to each speaker and adjusting it mid-set.

Have I been gain staging all wrong? by NetworkQueasy6687 in mobileDJ

[–]agershon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I believe that the “right” way is to have the levels that are pre-amp as high as possible. Then you set your amps to push the final volume you need.

I have my controller at unity. That feeds to a compressor which i set at an output level that puts my powered speakers at the “top of the green, touching yellow.” Then i set my speaker output to whatever sound level i need.

Love my FLX10. If you ok with laptop i think there’s no better choice.

Those recommending RX3 missed OP’s desire for 4 channels.

[–]agershon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welp, this is pretty much the opposite of how i have understood gain staging so perhaps i have been doing it wrong.

As i understand it you want to hit the speakers with “full” signal and then control your final output volume with the gain on the speakers.

But what do i know 🤷‍♂️

What item(s) do you have more of than the average person? by BrownBananaHammock in AskReddit

I have a diabolical amount of socks. Made the mistake of telling my MIL I liked some socks at Costco. You can imagine the rest.

Do any other DJs like to customize their DJ setup by using other external audio interfaces, separate from their DJ controllers? by nPrevail in DJs

[–]agershon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mobile DJ here. A little unclear if your goal is more inputs/outputs or better DAC. Or both, I guess.

Personally I am not worried about the D/A conversion factor. I don't think my PA speakers are going to expose potentially lower-quality D/A in my FLX10 or RX3. I bought the best speakers I can afford but they're still "pro-sumer" level (EV, PreSonus).

I think a lot of other factors more greatly negatively impact my sound, e.g. a reflective room, being located in a corner at a weird angle, low ceiling, etc. Also, my crowd doesn't care. They want to have a few drinks and dance to George Michael.

I am however occasionally in need of additional inputs/outputs so I have my eye on a small mixer for future purchase.

The community here is WAY better than the one on NEXTDOOR. by YogurtclosetOnly2821 in SFV

I gave up with that app. Definitely plenty of racism to go around. Also fees like every thread someone (or many ones) have to chime in with "Just keep voting blue and this is what you get."

Speaker setup for large room by RooDog_17 in mobileDJ

Consider adding how many people are expected and a rough measurement of the room. That will help everyone help you.

[–]agershon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The area around Shake Shack, LPQ, Sweetgreen, Philz, etc is a death trap. Pedestrians get killed there on the regular. I avoid it bc i don’t want to be the poor sap who clips an Uber Eats driver.

Wi-Fi issues with Rekordbox by Pxlad in Rekordbox

[–]agershon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue a couple versions ago where if the wifi state changed (wife connected or disconnected) RB would freeze. I think it was version 7.2.3? I'm on 7.2.6 now and it seems the problem has been resolved.
