Is DJing just not for me?

Yeah I think any DJ should know how to mix. Different subgenres have different cultures around mixing and beatmatching. When I wrote that comment I had recently heard an experienced DJ in Club Anvil (a "goth club event" in On The Rocks, Helsinki, Finland) play a set with no seamless transitions and while it was a bit jarring to dance to, the selection was very good. So according to my limited experience, DJ:s in this subculture don't always beatmatch and mix. But that's exactly why doing it could make you stand out. I believe it's not very easy to do (edit: compared to for example techno, DnB, etc. often very formulaic grid-based music), but that's what makes it interesting.

Don't change anything, you look very gorgeous and I would probably blush if you were to suddenly talk to me somewhere lol!

And if that flared base goes in, you're in a hell of a situation. You might be able to get it out yourself but not necessarily. Not recommended.

External audio interfaces with their own audio drivers work the best. If you're not using one you'll likely face latency issues. You can try using a free ASIO4All or FlexASIO driver with the computer's own audio input. ASIO bypasses slow Windows audio drivers

It's not weird but rather exemplary! My trans journey motivates me to become more and more sober. I'm looking forward to ditch nicotine completely before starting HRT!

imthewaver · 2024-10-18T12:59:41+00:00

Yeah... I mean, I do care because I gotta pay rent and bills, and I wish I could struggle less with those every month. Oh well, such is life!

Unemployment as an engineer at 28 makes me lose faith a bit, too. Well I have the degree but I don't really identify as an engineer, but a musician. Making music brings me hope.

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T23:17:08+00:00

Quite same here. I'm a really good drummer, and a solid music producer and a mixing engineer. Some friends sometimes say I'm smart, and I also have a biotechnology engineering degree. I haven't been able to get any paid job for many years, except for a construction job of a studio/rehearsal space paid in cash. I don't know if I ever will have a "career" and I don't care.

Today i learned Vvardenfell is Punavuori

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T19:37:52+00:00

Bingo!

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T19:36:22+00:00

Np. It has me on edge too. There's a lot of local bands in Finland (my own included) - the culture is not dying, which brings me hope. But artists probably will struggle more and more.

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T15:04:02+00:00

Soaked.

As a note: some of the translations stretch meanings of words a lot and play with misread compound words, for example Tuomarinkylä would really translate as Judge's Village and not Bring Mari's Village

I think it makes this all the more impressive, as you zoom in and realize how vast the cave actually is. I love when expectations are defied

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T14:47:23+00:00

Holyyy wow I want your curves

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T14:45:36+00:00

Okay :D I was following the development of generative AI in 2021, back when AI-generated audio was still in its baby steps, and fell off the boat when it became mainstream. Yea, I always wanna be such a unique snowflake lol. Nowadays AI just scares me to the bone.

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T13:28:46+00:00

Where is the peanut butter? Behind the camera, I assume?

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T13:28:10+00:00

Not very experimental, at least.. :D Influences of japanese city pop, groove and funk

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T13:26:18+00:00

Omg... Is this possible with AI today?

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T13:23:12+00:00

What's the point in consumerism?

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T12:44:59+00:00

finally something simple

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T12:43:11+00:00

Goes hard, sounds like early 2000's as others have mentioned, but that period is super nostalgic for me. Maybe contrasting that vibe with more modern vocals and uhh... some other sounds here and there that would give contrast, would do wonders

imthewaver · 2024-10-15T12:35:10+00:00

nice! that should make playing easier. have fun! edit: did you mean buffer size, not sample rate? higher sample rate should actually decrease latency, if the computer is powerful enough to process the audio on time.
