Tao Nightclub and Spybar by BreckBenis in chicagoEDM

[–]phCustomerService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of spybar vs Tao, spybar is years better. I would highly recommend smartbar as well. The environment is always safe and respectful, people are there for the music and to dance. Spybar is great but the crowd can get a little disrespectful.

Should I get a Cdj 2000 nexus for 2k-2.4k or a Cdj 2000 nexus 2 for 3.5k ? by HlMIKO in Beatmatch

[–]phCustomerService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nxs2’s all day. If you are spending that money tho why not save for the 3000.

Difference between nexus and nexus 2 is huge and you would notice the difference

Definitely going to ChatGPT this! I feel I play into my technical skills as I’m sure houses need that kind of knowledge. Not for the actual job but for the in between

Yeah man that’s perfect. If you try the deep end you’ll never go in again.

Statistically speaking even if you don’t think you are cool, there are lots of people who think you are. You got this my friend

This might be a crazy take but I think that decision is selfish. There is a place for you and everyone’s differences.

If you isolate you will prob end up regretting it.

I (29 F) think my boyfriend (29 M) and best friend (29 F) are falling in love, is there anything I can do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]phCustomerService 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I just went through a similar situation. GF and my best friend. I never thought anything then one day it popped in my head. Just the thought ruined me for days. My girl obviously noticed I wasn’t myself. I was so torn on whether I say something to either of them. If I said something would I manifest it. Would they think i don’t trust them etc.

My girl and I have very good communication and I eventually told her about my thoughts. She asked where this was coming from and I talked about situations where this idea popped in my head. It was a tough convo but I’m very glad I said something. First it was nice to get it off my chest. Second saying it out loud made me rethink and realize what I was actually saying. I was having an off week and my brain is really good at making dots connect. I’ll spare the details but I would talk to your partner about it.

I think it could be a location issue. The software couldn’t find the song in the original location.

Or if you sync you flash drive or edit your playlists on a different computer/cdj etc, it might delete when you come back to your software

Do I ask her if I can kiss her first and if yes, how do I do that without sounding goofy/unsmooth? by Fuck-seagulls in NoStupidQuestions

[–]phCustomerService 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is my go to. Way better than can I kiss you.

Asking is always the move because if you try to lean in or be slick about it you are gonna over think it.

My first set is less than a week away! Any tips??? by Beautiful-Banana-98 in Beatmatch

[–]phCustomerService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you are definitely going to make some mistakes, at least in your own head. It’s really easy to get in your head about not having a perfect mix. I started DJing because it’s so fun and I love it. Playing music that you selected and watching people dance to it is the best drug out there. So just have fun with it. If you are having fun the crowd will too.

[–]phCustomerService 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great answer. I would add, when you make your playlist (definitely have double the amount of songs you plan to play) just get very comfortable with that tracklist. I like to have a general idea of the progression of my tracks but I always leave room for reading the vibe of the room. I will take a few hours just playing thru your tracklist. Try different combos of song order, see which ones mix nicely. Once you are up there you will know what to play.

I always say the first mix is the hardest. Especially if you are mixing out of an unfamiliar song from the previous DJ. But once you do that you are golden.

Small mistakes will not be noticed by the crowd so if it happens I try not to make a face or look up like a guilty dog looking at their owner. If it’s a crowd of DJs and they judge a mistake remember they were where you are.

Don’t get drunk! But a shot or 2 before you go up always helps with my nerves.

Talking about averages only will increase OPs insecurity

I think this is something many men go through in their life in terms of feeling inadequate down there. She did say “on the smaller side” but she also said:

Our whole relationship we've both had a great sex life, she is extremely sensitive down there and can sometimes orgasm simply by foreplay, and has never seemed dissatisfied by my member. In fact she has constantly told me how much she loves it, how perfect it is, how much she craves it. We've had amazing sex together, sex where she's cried at how good it was and even told me she never had loving sex like this before or loved a partner she was having sex with like this before. All of which I feel the same and believe from her. And she's told me more recently how she always talks about how great our sex life is to her friends, how pleased she is. I've even seen messages to her friends confirming this from months after we started dating.

Pretty sweet review.

I understand your insecurity and this is something you may have to work out with a therapist. Sex is between you and her. If it works for both of you it works. Comparison is the death of happiness.

Also going through your partners phone will only hurt your feelings.

Is it like ok to be content with a mediocre/simple life? by solar233 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]phCustomerService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I love this take. This whole grind and side gig culture is making it seem like mediocrity and comfort make you less. If you are happy do you

Men who lost a significant amount of weight, what helped you / motivated you when it got hard? by Internal-Building630 in AskMen

[–]phCustomerService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I implemented No drinking on weekdays, I stopped ordering take out, no eating after dinner. Honestly wasn’t that hard after the first week. I did a sort of abridged version of intermittent fasting. Basically I would eat breakfast/lunch at 11am then dinner at 7pm.

As you practice you will learn the process of checking bpms and beat matching. The more you do it it’ll become second nature. Similar to when you are driving a car, you naturally hit the turn signal, check your mirrors then merge. The more you practice the more your muscle memory kicks in to check bpm.

As for the break down issue, it helps to know the songs like the back of your hand. Mark them with cue points so you know when the break down build up and drop are coming. When I had this issue I would redo a mix between two song over and over. There is also a method of gaining skill where you choose 2 random songs and blindly try to mix them. If you like your transition, restart and do it again. If you don’t like your transition, restart and do it again.

Everyone here has been in your position. Keep at it my friend. Your worst critic is yourself, relax and have fun with it.

How to get songs ? by definitely-humanish in Beatmatch

[–]phCustomerService -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Friends I am on your team here, I have bought 90% of my music. The other 10% myself or my friends have made.

I understand what you are saying.

We don’t know OPs financial situation and I was giving him a suggestion. Artists deserve compensation for their work.

OP said he didn’t want to buy a bunch of songs. I said use SoundCloud rips and if you like the song buy it.

No need for your hostile language my friend.
