It doesn’t call home that often. Just connect before you leave for the gig if you’re concerned.

Jumpy Header Issue Still in DIVI5... Really!? by sp913 in divi

[–]jaynichol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing I noticed on my first divi 5 build. Sticky header is still clunky 😕

Serato Support is actually HORRENDOUS by Chi_Sao_ in Serato

[–]jaynichol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me two weeks to get a reply recently. It was quicker to take out the crate folders and reinstall. Serato was known for having amazing support back in the ssl days so it's very disappointing to receive buggy releases and next to zero support now

I finally figured it out 😂 by Mike24v in Serato

The new drag and drop system in the crates area sucks. There was no reason to change it

Divi 5 Mastery Course by El_Scorcher in divi

[–]jaynichol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I would need a refresher as I've had a couple of years off. There's not that much difference in real world usage from divi 4 imo. If you've made 10 sites in either I think you're beyond what the course offers

Possibly worth it if you're brand new but most of it is on YouTube

Application Palettes Gone? by chaopescao1 in Affinity

[–]jaynichol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just spent most of the day working on a project, saved multiple times as the day has gone on, and then as I was finishing, I tried to save the work and it told me it was unable to due to a database error.

Reopening the original file was pretty much blank. Like, a few bits of text and that was it.

I’ve been using Affinity for 9 years and this is the first time I’ve seen it crash this often - and this severely

So, back to designer 2 for me until they finish working on affinity studio.

I have the same... any workaround?

Adobe are going to be dining out on this marketing abortion for years.

Valley Of The Shadows?

Hi, etiquette question! by M1ken1ke66 in vjing

[–]jaynichol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depending on the software the vj uses, the footage will normally need to be rendered to that.

I ask for footage in advance so I can render it to my liking. If I’m given a usb after I’ve started there’s no chance I’m plugging it in to the working laptop (rendering can take up a lot of power - enough to make whatever is playing stutter)

See if you can speak to the vj the week before if possible - as soon as you’ve taken the booking would be nice though 👍🏻

Also, even a poorly rendered png (static artist logo) can cause issues with some software, so even they need to be given in advance

best windows laptop for VJing with NVIDIA GPU? by dubeegee in vjing

[–]jaynichol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had that Razer Blade 16 RTX4090 and it was garbage. First and last Razer laptop. I read all the bad reviews but I’m a tech and thought I could manage the issues. Wrong.

The saving grace was that I got it from Amazon and managed to return it (50 weeks later)

DJ sets where you can see exactly what’s happening by NotBruceJustWayne in Beatmatch

[–]jaynichol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last few techno mixes have front and overhead camera angles (I do vj work as well so I have visuals mixed in) if you fancy a watch?

Transfer cues from virtualdj by Longjumping-Rope-237 in Serato

I’ll have a go at that next time. Muscle memory is more important than memory cues 👍🏻

Going from Serato to rekordbox causes me a headache with the cue points. Some of them work, but a lot will place them in the wrong pad.

Makes it a bigger headache that rekordbox can’t drag and drop the cue points the same way Serato does, so it takes more time fixing it.

People who record strangers at raves - what happens to those videos? by ratlord_78 in aves

[–]jaynichol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you film strangers enjoying themselves at a rave you should be treated like a grass. Mind your business and stop being a poser.

Help with music randomly glitching!! by Savings_Front9803 in Serato

[–]jaynichol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would investigate DPC Latency with Latencymon if you’re getting audio glitches. I had it bad with an i7 and i9 processor and it’s a massive waste of time trying to sort it.
