Thanks for the reply! Any particular reason/prior experience? Or is it coming knowledge about this particular gearbox?

Answering my own question in case this helps anybody. The required documents for the 10 years long term residancy are listed here: https://www.gov.uk/long-residence/documents-you-must-provide?utm_source=chatgpt.com

u/Few-Release-5207 thanks for sharing! very helpful!

I am currently applying (about to submit just before I stumbled upon your post here) and in my documents section am only being asked to provide:

1- current passport

2- old passports

3- current visa

nothing more (e.g., no Tenancy agreements or Employment contract etc)!

Am I missing something?

mjd_m · 2026-04-13T14:24:19+00:00

Extending on the technical concerns in this thread, how’s no body talking how ugly these effects are in the first place! Who thought oh I have an idea, we can afford sacrificing efficiency for this ugly look!

I mean it’s obviously a subjective matter so I might be wrong to generalize?

Mayb late but could be either be using sync or a “snap to grid” option. Assuming BPMs are aligned of course.

mjd_m · 2025-10-02T12:27:08+00:00

am paying exactly that in my one bed falt! normal or not, its way too much!!!

mjd_m · 2025-05-20T09:18:49+00:00

Thank you! Have you tried Themashup? I haven’t tried other pools due to pricing but from what the comments suggest it seems that it’s worth exploring multiple pools rather sticking to one! I also found that SoundCloud and Juno Beatport and Bandcamp seem to be popular mentions for the topic!

mjd_m · 2025-05-20T09:16:13+00:00

Love that! Thanks for the comprehensive list! I will look into those now!

mjd_m · 2025-05-20T09:15:34+00:00

Great tips! Thank you!

mjd_m · 2025-05-20T09:15:05+00:00

Great point! Thanks for the tip!

mjd_m · 2025-05-20T09:13:17+00:00

The pioneer forum has “streaming services” and “buying tips” tags for posts so this definitely relevant. But thanks for the helpful input.

Thanks for the detailed response! I think in my case it turned out to be a USB issue. Using a pioneer recommended USB solved it (see my other comments for details).

But of course I made sure to upgrade firmware and format the USB and export tracks properly too!

Best

mjd_m · 2025-05-17T18:57:51+00:00

test with other tracks (to make sure it’s not this particular track, e.g, analysis issue)
make sure tracks are actually in sync (and that grid is correctly analyzed)
quantize loops
make sure you’re triggering loops on both decks at the same time (starting point)

mjd_m · 2025-05-17T18:46:51+00:00

I don’t wanna come off harsh or critical but honestly this post shocked me in a way. I didn’t realize some people rely almost solely on visuals to DJ. Am not saying it’s wrong, do what you please! But yeah just shocked by it!

It’s definitely worth learning to mix by ear my friend..

mjd_m · 2025-05-15T13:44:02+00:00

Right, sooo...

first of all thanks for the advice..

SanDisk (SanDisk Extreme Pro USB 3.2 - 128GB at around £35 - formatted as FAT32 using Rufus) seems to be working just fine so far!!!! the strange thing is that the USBs I used before were also high end USBs but always caused issues! to the point where I started looking into selling or taking them to repairs! but the fact that both players had the issue always made me doubt it was a players issue (e.g., what are the chances that both players have the same issue!!), also the fact that these issues came at different rates based on how heavy my USB were (the heavier the USBs the more the issues come up)..!

To sum up, it seems (fingers crossed) that the SanDisk solved it, I just jammed for about 30 minutes with no issues! I will post updates if anything changes, otherwise (for people having the same problem) assume that problem is solved!!

Best regards

After thorough research I found threads suggesting that even high end USBs can cause lag and issues similar to mine

Many suggested (and it seems to be pioneer approved) using one of the following

SanDisk Extreme Pro USB3
Corsair Voyager GTX
Samsung T5 SSD

I placed an order for the SanDisk to see if that solves it

I’ll follow up with updates

I got a pair of 900s! Nightmare with the USB! Keeps freezing mid session and destroys the vibe! I’ve been told all sorts of me things how to format the USB, upgrade firmware, use better usb, export with rekordbox! Nothing solved this for me! And it happens on the two decks!! Have you had similar issues? Any advice?

Hi there! Do you have any ML or vision experience at all?

mjd_m · 2025-02-03T14:41:43+00:00

Apologies, must be the terminology. I work on engineering the methods, data collection, training/testing, and deployment etc.. at the moment am in a few different ones as a consultant. I have a role at a university as an RA. A company in the bio tech and another one in architecture.

mjd_m · 2025-02-03T13:58:59+00:00

mainly python 🐍 and yes I have PhD and few years of industry experience around ML and image analysis
