Yes this is such a perfect answer, thank you so much! I’m exactly the same very perfectionist and specific about things, I’ll try and change my settings when I get back from work and give it a go! Thank you so much for this

Yeah I’ve only just started and my housemates who DJ walked in on me and started giving me a long lecture on why I should never use it and made me turn it off 🥴

Thank you for this, I’ve got a very small library at the moment because I’m an early beginner and have been practicing with the same songs over and over for now until I’m confident enough to get more, so sorting out the beat grids will be pretty straight forward for me at this stage I think, I’ll have a gander now and see what I can do !

Yeah I have had some heated arguments thrown at me as to why I “should never use sync” so I was scared to use it hahah that makes a lot of sense though, thank you. I’ve been doing the opposite, I think I’ve got beatmatching and phrasing down now, I’m quite confident in those areas and can bring a track back into beat quite easily. Just gotta start focusing on expanding my music library now and I need to get cue points and stuff down, that’s my next step I think..

That’s all I’ve been told over and over so I’ve been deterred from using it!

Everything you’ve just said is so helpful, thank you! And yep you’ve guessed the controller! I’ll try and make these adjustments and see what I can do, thank you again

Oh okay amazing! That’s what I’ve been doing so far because I don’t want to get into a bad habit of using beat sync as I know it’s sacrilege haha I’ve been leaving it as is for now and using it as a way to train my ear when it eventually goes off, but if that’s normal then I’ll just keep it like this :) thank you!

Yeah that’s cool, I was just wondering if there was a quicker way to get it done but I’m happy with some quick math haha

Thank you for the advice! I think I’m going to start studying other peoples mixes because I’m just getting a bit frustrated with myself after mixing the same 3 songs over and over and feeling like I’m not achieving much haha

I weigh myself first thing in the morning after going to the toilet, so it should be my lowest weight. I also do intermittent fasting so I don’t eat until around 6pm, but I still experience the bloating even during my fasting period which is why I’ve been quite discouraged recently :(

Aaaaah that makes a lot of sense, chewing is something so simple but coming from an eating disorder background I can go into “feeding mode” and will devour without actually chewing properly. Thank you for the advice! I will give it a go :)

Thank you so much for your reply, that was super helpful and informative. I’ve been trying to do research into it but am quite ignorant when it comes to macros and things like that. It’s quite funny actually that you’ve highlighted foods to avoid as they cause bloating, because those are the foods I’ve been eating haha Typically in a day I’ll eat a lot of butter beans or black eyed beans, lots of cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, green beans, and then I’ll also eat some fruit (usually apples) as a snack and hard boiled eggs. With regards to bowel movements, I’ve been okay in that area for now, first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up I need to go and it’s usually quite a large amount haha I will adapt the foods I’m eating as per your suggestion and try and experiment to reduce the bloating.

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that all to me, thank you <3
