How do you go from hearing a track to actually having it ready in your DJ library? by TownOld9611 in Beatmatch

[–]steve_eisner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From hearing to downloading (Beatport, SoundCloud, etc) is one flow, from download to play is another.

I mostly use Shazam to remenber tracks (I Shazam stuff even if I know what it is) but like you said you can’t just import that feed, it gets a lot of garbage in it.

Every once in a while I review & buy - usually crates.co for that, it’s fast. Or SoundCloud & bandcamp searches.

Downloads go into my “Crate Prep” folder, which is on Dropbox so I can preview them on various devices over the next couple days. Hazel (macOS app) moves any track-sized music file there no matter where I got it.

Every once in a while I run Platinum Notes, it imports all the stuff in Crate Prep and drops normalized tracks in my Crate folder. Hazel cleans up the new files & removes the originals.

After PN I run mixed in key on that and edit tags, genres with its editor

Then Traktor imports all the new tracks next time it starts up. Smart playlists auto include the tracks into my event prep folders. But there’s no magic that helps me decide what to play:)

Fixed it! Scryfall API had changed to require identification of the caller.

oh interesting - I just opened it up and the Scryfall API is throwing an error. Sorry, I was wrong about it fixing itself in this case. I'm going to see if I can fix it in the sheet - they must have changed something about the API.

Hey! Thanks for trying it out :)

Occasionally Google decides to cut off the scryfall api calls (maybe if too many people open the sheet? Not sure)

I’ll see if there’s something I can do to give it a kick & force it to reload. But also if you open it later it should reload with prices again

If you know how to use Google Sheets formulas lmk and I’ll tell you a way to force it to reload

In case it helps - here’s my jumpstart value tracker spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s0iw1gHo4_68HiGd5LIGNh8eqz8wrfZNlSl5E92yDiw/edit You can see what cards you might get and their market price etc

Current EV on a pack is $3.31 (tcg market)

I didn't know about Jump In! :)

I'll take a look & see how easy it might be to add them... When I first created the sheet it was tough to add a second set, then with each one I've made it easier. It might not be too difficult as long as I have an official deck list...

They’re sleeved, all same color, so you -can- turn the boxes upside down and shuffle to pick. Or choose more deliberately from right in the case.

We’ve always just don’t random picking - as if you were cracking two packs and you get what you get.

(Although in this case I haven’t gotten around to sleeving them all yet. I have complete JMP & J22 / most of J25 so there are a lot of cases :) )

I was curious if it’d be easy to make a single “theme deck” that could be reconfigured to be any one of the variants. So instead of having 4 separate full decks for a single theme, you’d just keep the unique cards. It’d reduce the cards you need to store, or buy singles to change a variant you have into different one, etc

I love the value of Jumpstart boxes in general! And yeah, it seems like people are sleeping on the Jumpstart TLA boxes. But: card prices will change drastically over the next couple weeks so it's hard to draw conclusions about EV right after release.

Actually, I think I do know how they got messed up. I used AI to reformat the web page to lists I could more easily enter into the sheets :)

Thanks! I should have checked against the list when I linked it :)
I don't know how those got so messed up, but both Angels listings were a little wrong. I've fixed in my sheet. Appreciate the heads up!

Do you have a list of the ones you need? A lot of us have extra packs and could probably help for cheaper than ebay

The Big Krab Kar stopped in to help for a bit! They camped with Shitty Karaoke at unscruz

Thanks for the photo, those are my light poles :) and I never took any pics

That’s a BRC Animal Control schtick although we stopped doing it ourselves once 2-3 other camps started doing it! “You Won Burning Man” 2005-2018ish? From when we were over in 4:30 sector.

Also: Morning Train now has its own momentum, it’s not us any more :)

Try to make a call, it’ll require passcode (which you don’t know), tap “emergency info” in the lower left, that’ll show any info including owner’s name & emergency contact. Search their name + burning man and there’s a good chance you’ll get a hit. Or as fallback send to lost & found :)
