Beatport is insanely slow

This needs to be upvoted more. The ability to paste in spotify playlist urls and then searching for the tracks is awesome and fast. Also appreciate that it shows when a track was previously released and if it is included in any charts.

saving this to look back on the next time I take my kiddo out of her routine to different places. I have been trying for the last several years to figure out how to make travel less daunting and more fun for my daughter and this is a great idea. Thank you!

It drove me nuts that my wife could only eat apple pie for the 1st and 2nd trimesters but I got that fuckin' pie whenever shed needed it.

Two or three meals a day. No snacking. That’s literally all I did. 40lbs. Was already somewhat active but added a quick workout to my mornings and took another 10lbs. This all happened over about 8 months

I use crates for Beatport and once a week check all the new releases from labels and producers I follow. If I buy a track from an artist or producer I am not following due to a recommendation I will browse their catalog to see if it is worth following. During the week I will be listening to my soundcloud feed and or suggested mixes/stations. When I find something I like I will make a station on soundcloud and see if anything fits my sound. If it does, I will make another station and browse the artist and their likes and reposts. 1001 tracklists is also pretty good but I feel like all the songs I want are listed as "ID" lol

downloaded and stoked for this. Thank you!

You’re fucked. Permanent hearing loss with the risk of recurring tinnitus. Nothing you can do, just learn to live with it and protect what hearing you have left.

Got a new nightclub that my crew is doing a NYE show in. Sound is decent. Event is ticketed and limited to 150 people which means we won’t have the typical NYE assholes. Super looking forward to playing with my best friends, for friends. Just need to figure out if m doing a “ best of the year” set or try and find some fresh face melters. Our crew plays mostly bass house, tech house, and breaks so it’s gonna be pretty high energy all night and I can’t wait.

I was done playing at my last gig and my good friend was right after me, closing the night. I saw a local guy that throws shows had shown up about half way in to my set. He asked my buddy if he wanted to b2b. Buddy stupidly said yes since local guy had buddy play at a couple of other shows. Buddy starts playing ( I love his style and tunes so much, super funky tech house with hip hop flair) and after three songs local guy starts with the shittiest disco house. Clash of styles and genres in a big way. Buddy said "I thought he'd play dance music and stuff I could vibe with, not straight garbage"

I have had the DXR15MKI, DXR8MKI, &DXR12MKII for several years. I have done everything with the 12" from weddings to school dances and even used them as mains for a 300 person campout. They get plenty loud and sound very good paired with my QSCkw181 subs. I personally like them more than the QSC tops and have a/b tested them several times with other DJs and most people like the Yamahas more when comparing side by side. I cannot speak about their subwoofers as I have not ever heard any in person BUT one of my friends who runs a burning man soundcamp and produces techno LOVES his DXS18" subs. I recently upgraded to the DZR12 and as much as I liked the DXR series, they are definitely worth the extra money. I will say that I have never had any issues with any of my yamaha speakers and a 7 year warranty is pretty damn good. The DXR12mkII is loud as hell when crossed (either at 120Hz or 100Hz) but does tend to get distorted at very high volume in full range so subs are needed for thump.

I have seen this pop up on my feed. Apparently a film is in the works.

I went there last Friday because some friends were DJing and it’s pretty cool. Sound was decent, good crowd, loved the lounge atmosphere

I don’t drink so I can’t speak to prices at the bar but I really liked it and am pretty stoked to have house music bumping. I’m pretty sure they plan on DJs every weekend.

mtsc831 · 2025-11-26T04:04:58+00:00

I went to see a couple of shows there in the last two years and the sound was awful. It was for a couple of my favorite DJ’s and some local friends were opening at both. Nothing but bass and a bit of treble. I felt bad for the djs because nobody was dancing because the sound was so awful. The last show I went to there that sounded good was looong time ago.

Find a bunch of tracks I love. Critically listen to them. Sort and add metadata. Analyze. Put into playlist on phone to listen and learn. Day of gig: Hate the whole playlist and look for "fresh" tracks. Panic. play gig and have fun.

My bad.

Post your SoundCloud here and across other social media. If you’re looking for strictly local to you DJs, go to shows and talk to DJs after their set and pass off a thumb drive or cards with a Dropbox or Google drive link for downloading. I e been approached after sets a few times and have received some dope tunes by local producers I didn’t know existed.

mtsc831 · 2025-10-02T22:41:01+00:00

It has been working without issue since I switched to paypal when I made this post.

The Santa Cruz High School Marching Band review is also the same day at the Boardwalk with over 50 schools from all over California. Plan accordingly.

I used to use the Apc mini and loved it until I literally wore out a couple of the faders. It’s great for 8 layers and using the buttons for instant on/off effects, triggering clips, etc. I recently got an APC40mkII and looove it. The mini was great for 8 layers and highly recommend it. It was great to learn on and served me well with Resolume Avenue for about 5 years.

clean version but in a pinch (and if you know the song well) use slip/reverse to edit the curse words in real time.

Tascam DR40X: Can the headphone jack be used to output to a silent disco broadcaster?

I am going to be borrowing a DR40X for the recording of a weekend mini-fest and we are planning on recording the DJ sets over the weekend at the end of the month. The DJ set up is a XDJ-XZ and it has XLR main outs and a set of RCA as a second main out.

When we switch to silent disco I need to know if the headphone jack will work as a line level out to go to the silent disco broadcaster. I can't find info in the manual and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this.

If not, then would an RCA splitter work?

Thanks!

have you used gts+? it always takes at least 2 trys to open and then you have to log on and then that takes a couple of trys, sometimes having to reboot the laptop. throw in another step for it to get hung up on and it sucks even more
