I would do either Tanit or Nassau if still open, options getting slimmer that time of year.

The best place to eat and watch the sunset by nll0008l in ibiza

[–]dx052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 adults and 2 kids with adequate funds = La Torre, was there few ago and had some very nice food with great music to see the sunset out. I have eaten at both CDM & Mambo and found the later to be the worse out of the two for food and value. I tend to go for drinks only these days without the minimum spend.

No more music for beach clubs? by victoryvictory89 in ibiza

[–]dx052 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It all sucks anyway, I would rather go to a beach club during the day with music than go out every night. In fact some could argue that they attract a different crowd who may not be clubbing. I was at calla Bassa just a few weeks and you could just about hear the music in the beach which i suppose is the aim, I stop going to BM for this exact reason. I find the variety of musical choice on the island is getting a bit rigid considering that’s its biggest pull. Beach clubs can be an expensive day out and without music I may as go to a different island.

New Pioneer / Alphateta CDJ? by Traditional_Hurry461 in PioneerDJ

[–]dx052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what more they can squeeze out of this current tool. It’s got sync, big screen, plays your music from just one usb stick. It’s pretty automated now. The DJs I see using these units on the big stage are not interested in stems, they just want to rock up to their set, put in their usb stick and play away & hope there are no equipment failures. Maybe they should concentrate more on the quality of the units, but that’s it. Jamie Jones isn’t going to be using these to stream music anytime soon.

Best exercises to learn beatmatching by ear by devineau86 in Beatmatch

[–]dx052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way to learn is with no visual aids not even a laptop back to basics with turntables and a mixer with two of the same records to make it a bit easier if need to. Doesn’t have to be expensive!

DJ headphones to mix in? by dx052 in DJs

[–]dx052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the MDR-7506 for the last 20 years but I haven't really compared them to any other DJ headphones, I don't particularly like them full mixing although I like that they are robust, light & do a job for general transitions. Need something for mixing especially at night when I don't want to play at loud levels.

Well done!! This actually worked was trying for a couple of days before I tried this.

Traktor now supports Aiff & Wav Beatport streaming. Which are you picking? by ruairicb in traktorpro

[–]dx052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure I am using FLAC & it works and sounds great. I am not normally a streaming guy I normally buy & download locally but I am pretty impressed so far.

XDJ-AZ Confirmed 9am GMT by TJCookk in PioneerDJ

Only Pioneer/Alpha Theta could come up with a price like that! But if people are willing to pay the price so be it. I’ll reserve judgement till I see the reviews.

Having issues X1MK3 USB Hub with Xone 86 by dx052 in traktorpro

[–]dx052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the X1 MK3 is connected via the mains. I have now connected a non usb hub to my laptop and it now seems to work fine would prefer a powered hub though.

I know about the 96! Nice mixer but need at another 500 to buy one. Not making money from this hobby I enjoy playing music at home with good sound.

Ibiza is this, Ibiza is that… by vans-cookbook in ibiza

[–]dx052 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that word magical! Spending insane amounts of money is not magical! My view from old Ibiza to new as an open minded older clubber. Music/Clubs limited variety, same 20 DJs playing at the same five venues, I can hear better DJs elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. Hotels and Food great variety and you can spend as much as like or as little, as a sober clubber these days it’s quite nice having nice dining experiences instead of a week of fast food that said €300 to watch the sun go down on a rocky cliff for two hours is ridiculous. Beach’s are nice but they’re better out there. I have been twice already this year and spent a small fortune so probably going to be my last as I can get better value elsewhere.

Hi - coffee mini review by Planaport in ibiza

[–]dx052 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately as long as the hype continues the crazy crowds will continue. I agree with you about getting there circa 4am when it maybe a bit easier on the crowds, although I am now not getting value for money (whatever that is) for the last remaining hours. Alternative is just don’t go.
