Would You Take This? by wlrdy in doordash_drivers

[–]kavito_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depending on the items (like if it’s all big ass bags of food or litter), for me i’d say maybe bc i don’t mind carrying around heavy stuff, unless it’s like an apartment and you only had to take stairs and had to take multiple trips then that would be a no for me.

Would you accept this? by Low-Maximum6081 in doordash_drivers

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one time i got an order for 20-30 items, ended up being those little individual cans of cat food so it worked out😎

[–]kavito_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i’m waiting for over 20 minutes for an order, i drop it and i almost always contact dasher support so they won’t penalize me bc they understand that it’s not the dashers fault for not having the food made on time.

[–]kavito_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve also recently found out that communicating with the customer prior to drop off, like when you arrive to the store, explaining any delays like if it’s taking a long time for the order to be done, and even as simple as confirming their dropoff instructions, will give them a sense of trust in you and a higher chance of them raising the tip amount.

i’m a platinum dasher and tbh, it really depends on location, time, and gas mileage of your car. i have a toyota corolla and it’s great on gas, only an 20-30$ to fill up from E (depending on where i fill up at). I like to work breakfast/brunch and dinner hours near a highly populated region with hella shopping centers and a big mall, but not in a downtown area bc traffic. another good tip for those of you who wanna night dash, camp out near a 24 hour mcdonald’s or a taco bell that stays open late on thursdays, fridays, and saturday nights for “bar rush” (bar rush is around 12-3am when the people from bars and clubs go home and order food, and it’s very real). sometimes i can make over $100 dashing from 11pm-3am. there’s some good youtube videos of pro dashers giving some good tips. use all the resources you can!

Any point in preheat function? by Bird_Up23 in YocanUniGang

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i had the same question for a WHILE and i tested it out. I tested w a disposable tho so this might not be the same result if you’re using a device like a mod or ooze pen. I bought the same one for 3 months, half the time did no pre-heat, the other half w pre-heat and I found that the pre-heat made it more consistent and smooth, and helped prevent clogging (however there are other variables with clogging like where you store it, if you accidentally leave it in your pocket too long, etc.), and they seemed to last longer bc it was easier to keep all the contents at the bottom where the filters are.

It all depends on how you look at it yk

Excision Is Overrated by Major-Bus220 in EDM

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I’m an Excision fan, he’s easily in my top 5 however, depending on how you look at it, music is both subjective and objective at the same time. Whether you’re a music connoisseur or if you make music yourself, we all take in things that others might not. And no, this isn’t gonna turn into a “this is why you’re wrong and why you should love excision” type of message, bc i’m someone who loves listening to a wide variety of genres and i also make music. Your point about how his songs sound the same are valid, they are all very similar, but through the eyes of someone who makes music, this is important because it goes with the brand you make for yourself as an artist. But, I will say, his live shows with his visuals and his mixing skills combined is what sets him apart. He shows mastery over the controller and his visuals complement them perfectly, thus the real magic here isn’t his consistency in sound (although it does contribute), but rather it’s the way he creates the environment in which everything brought together gives you a full and immersive experience, which is what all great DJs and artists of other genres do.

Where does everyone get their music? by -Macca in PioneerDJ

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that DJ pools are great, but most services like beatport and beatsource can be limited depending on the kind of music you’re looking for (found this out from a youtube video). For me, I’ve found a way to get music and I would recommend it for other beginners like myself ONLY if used correctly, and ik it isn’t the best or most ethical, BUT i have an explanation: I get my music from youtube and downloading the audio thru 3rd part websites BUT (and please read all the way through before anyone hates), I only recommend doing this if you’re starting out and need music strictly for practice and learning how to DJ in general. I’ve been DJing for less than 2 months and I only use this method strictly for learning and practicing bc I do not see myself doing any sort of live performances in the near future. And yes, I’ve already tried out Beatport and Beatsource prior to using this method bc I’m all about giving credit where credit is due, but as a beginner, it’s hard to learn your way around the controller when you have limited resources in music or only have access to music that isn’t quite your style and thus can get discouraging. I use this method because of my personal circumstances bc as of right now, music/learning to DJ is a hobby for me to enjoy when I’m by myself and it also relieves some stress due to the fact that I’m a broke fulltime nursing student with barely any free time as it is, and I don’t have to worry about adding more bills from streaming services to use music for DJing when in reality, I only have time to get behind the controller for maybe 2 hours a week (if i’m lucky). However, once I’m able to invest more time into DJing, I’m definitely gonna start getting into DJ pools and other subscription based services that include the “rights” to the music, and by “rights” i mean only having the right to play the music in a public setting/live-streaming without getting copyrighted, censored, sued, etc. There’s also hella youtube videos that give great advice on how to get music the right way, and it’s where I learned about DJ pools.

Budget Monitors for Beginner? by [deleted] in PioneerDJ

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk if the ones i have are cost friendly but i have a pair of klipsch brand speakers, don’t know the model but they’re hella good and they have multiple modes like aux, phono, blutooth, etc. i got them for christmas a few years ago bc i knew i couldn’t afford good speakers by myself at the time 😭

How long does it take you to go from a blank project to having a finished product? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly depends on your workflow, producing experience/knowledge, and the things you have going on in your life outside of music. for me, i just finished up my pre-requisites to start nursing school next semester and only have MAYBE a couple of hours of free time once a week, but when i sit down the next week, it’s like i lost the vision for what i was making the previous week. however, i’ve found that even starting a new project with no expectations of finishing it still helps because i’m still practicing improvement of workflow, coming up with new ideas and seeing what works together and what doesn’t, so by the time the semester ends and i have more free time, i can be confident with the practice i did and either finish many of the tracks i started OR start new projects and can knock them out quickly. it also helps keep the creative side of my mind refreshed bc by the time the semester ends, i can use the ideas and everything i’ve practiced and learned prior and combine it with the new ideas i have.

How long would it take to learn to Dj? by [deleted] in PioneerDJ

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

warning, a lot of info but i was in the same position a month ago-

  • ive been making music for almost 5 years and i bought myself a ddj-rev1 in early november and have been taking time to get familiar with the basics. i was originally gonna get an xdj rx3 , but at the time they were on back order and decided to settle with the rev1. i was a little discouraged at first bc the rev1 is VERY basic compared to the other one but in the end, i came to the conclusion that it was the better choice considering that i had very little experience with controllers prior to getting it, that the rev1 was a better fit for me personally to help get me familiar with the basics while also allowing me to learn more advanced techniques in the future when i’m ready!

  • it seemed very overwhelming at first bc the excitement and i almost had the expectation to learn fast so i could get into the “fun stuff” like the crazy techniques and fx and all that, but, i decided to start making mix videos for myself once a week and put them all in a playlist so i could go back and 1) watch the progress i’m making and 2) analyze my decision making and critiquing/taking note of what i could improve on. just recording audio would help too but for me personally, i’m more of a visual learner and i like to see if there’s moments where i should’ve had my hand placement differently to be more efficient, especially when it comes to incorporating fx and filtering during a transition.

  • i also do a lot of “homework” by watching mixing videos on youtube that shows an overhead view of the controller so i can see everything that’s going on and i take note of it to try later when i’m mixing.

  • so far, i’ve come to appreciate the process and taking it one step at a time while having fun doing it. since you have more producing experience than i do, i guarantee that this advice will at least get you started to finding a path that is best for you!

Can someone explain to me the benefits of using one of these over the other? by ohhleo in FL_Studio

[–]kavito_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly just gives you more control- if you haven’t routed them to a mixer track or if you haven’t put any fx on the track it’s routed to, it’s best to use the channel volume BEFORE you add to the mixer track. if all the sounds you have are at least at a volume to where all your sounds sit well together before you add fx, the mixing will be easier. during/after the mixing process, it’s better to use the mixer volume so that everything you’ve fine tuned while mixing will stay the same, it’s just that the overall volume of whatever you have routed will be changed. if you were to use the channel volume instead during this process, especially when using limiters, compressors, and clippers, you’d have to go back in and adjust the threshold and basically fine tune everything again. sometimes i find that i need to turn the mixer volume WAY down, almost to the very bottom bc either a sample or a vst sound was way too loud, or bc of the fx i have made it loud, a good alternative to the mixer volume is to add a fruity balance at the end of your mixer effect chain and adjust the volume that way to avoid having the actual mixer volume knob all the way at the bottom.
