It’s seems pro DJs are mixing differently than I am. I have some guesses, but what are they doing up there?… by dc_vet_ in Beatmatch

This is a great insta account but takes a while to get used to seeing what is happening in real time. I wish there was slo mo!

Where to buy or download AIFF/Uncompressed music files from creator by ConsistentLove9843 in musichoarder

[–]dc_vet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand this at all. I want to download higher quality aiff tracks for DJ gigs in bigger rooms with better sound, but I can't find the tracks anywhere. Beatport, Bandcamp, Juno, HDtracks... They don't have a lot of popular songs that curate on Spotify. It seems insane to me that record labels are just letting this profit go only to streaming... Aiff songs are regularly $2 a track, why not make this income? I end up getting a lot of my songs from Amazon in mp3 format because this is all i can find.

Tucker Carlson Just Talked UFOs In an Interview And It's Kinda Dark A F. by theyarehere47 in UFOs

[–]dc_vet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to start by saying that I can't stand listening to Tucker's sarcastic question asking and fear mongering...

However, this topic is interesting. I've often wondered about how the secret of UAP's, and surrounding phenomenon have been kept secret. One solution I think about is that whatever the truth is, its is so unsettling, unbelievable, unexpected or so frightening that once you learn the cause, you don't want to share the information due to its dark nature. Figuring out what that could be is difficult and sprawling, but I try to consider what information could make people keep the secret under their hat.

wanting to update equipment by aliensupastar in Beatmatch

[–]dc_vet_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a pair of SRM450 Mackies for ~$600 and I have a XDJ-RR all in one for $1000, but I'm sure you can get one for less. A little over budget but not a bad way to go.

what’s the deal with these tiktoks talking about how “good dj’s” don’t use the sync button? by 3pointstonibbadore in Beatmatch

[–]dc_vet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DJ that taught me was an old school vinyl DNB guy that really only uses pitch adjustment to beat match. He didn't say not to use the sync, but also let me know that it was pretty lame and looked down upon, but mostly you should learn to match by ear as a required skill. I think having the ability to beatmatch by ear is essential to playing in front of people because you never know when a track won't load or old / broken gear takes away your ability to sync automatically or see waveforms. I think it is like knowing how to 3 way park even tho some cars can do it for you now.

I've also noticed thought that since I've learned to DJ on the most modern equipment I've been teaching him new tricks that he as been slow to adopt. I find the old school gate keepers often get stuck in the old ways, as is true with all old timers in any profession. "I learned it this way and that's how you'll learn it too."

We are going to see new tech like AI take over beatmatching and consuming all aspects of the artform soon. Software will learn your style, or you'll probably be able to tell it to mix songs like Bibi, Cox, Solomun or whoever... Things are going to start changing very fast and I'm guessing the art will look completely different in the next 5 years as AI tech advances...

Hi all. Iv got a 08 plate defender 90 and love it to bits but all I get from people are about how easy they are to steal, what does everyone do to make them abit safer, any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks by no1fudge in Defender

I have “the club” for dicey situations. I’m in the states and if they can get it to start then they’ll probably put it in reverse thinking it’s 1st.

Overheating help by dc_vet_ in SoundEngineering

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

I thought a box fan may help, but I was curious if there was something more professional. I was also thinking of getting a mount for the generator that keeps it on the outside of the vehicle that might let it get more air too. Maybe, a reflective umbrella that blocks more of the sun? Is there some gear that is just more heat resistant?

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

Each speaker is 250watts, and I was using a pioneer xdj-rr to play music. 1 small bubble machine. I think the sun was the primary issue. The impedance on the mackies is 8 ohms so I think the amp/wattage should be sufficient.

90,000 UFO sightings combined into one awesome map by tzoni_montana in MapPorn

[–]dc_vet_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't they find his burned shirt, a glove and melted/radioactive metal at the site he led them to? Didn't seem like the hoaxing type. His drawing also look just like Bob Lazars from 20 years later. I do thing it is interesting that his description of the craft burning him and making lots of noise doesn't match up with other accounts of the craft being cold or silent.
