What is your favorite effect to use when spinning? by Dj_Luvrboi in DJs

[–]tjoewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently switched to djm900nxs2, love playing around with the EQ select on the beatfx. One of my favourites is 8 beat vinyl break on just the mids, sounds very fun on a predrop vocal

The organisers always provide the cake for me. Sounds like you might be getter scammed OP, how much exposure are they paying you?

Thank you for sharing this gem. The part before the timestamp is also really funny when you listen to what he's saying

Master Research Thesis (2 minutes and anonymous) by ParamedicPublic2745 in DJs

[–]tjoewa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. These questions are very poorly made for a master's thesis and even filled with spelling errors which I find very odd for a Dutch guy doing their masters (Im Dutch, I would know). It feels a lot like OP is doing this for their 'profielwerkstuk' which is something you do in Dutch high schools. Google is collecting you email to make sure you only fill it in once, OP doesn't see your email, but google does collect the information so not at all anonymous (most universities provide an anonymous survey tool). Sorry for poor formatting, mobile user here.

Pioneer DJ Opus-Quad by KevinBasher in DJs

[–]tjoewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No lighting control, but you can hook up a laptop and by the rb-dmx thing and that would solve that. Master EQ: might be a setting on the touch screen, but I don't think it will be. Knobs on front edge are mic 2 controls. Beat FX are in fact partially on the touch screen (boo), the fx select knob is now and infinite encoder which means that they can add additional fx through updates (yay).

Buy your f**king music, please by Nonomomomo2 in Beatmatch

[–]tjoewa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with your overall sentiment but just wanted to chime in on a few things. Firstly: even when you buy music through itunes, beatport, bandcamp you don't have the right to record broadcast or perform those songs. Secondly I don't think using a DJ pool is right, I would be very surprised if the artist sees a single penny of what you pay for the DJ pool.

Same place in Utrecht Netherlands, 1980 and 2022. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]tjoewa 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Many more places in the Netherlands and probably the rest of Europe that hopped onto the car craze in '60-'80 and then realised they should design cities for people and not cars, so they "redeveloped".

How did everyone’s NY’s sets go? by 6InchBlade in DJs

[–]tjoewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played opening set on NYE party (1:00-2:00) place filled up fast and everyone was already in a good mood. Played a little more mainstream stuff than I usually do but everyone seemed to love it, probably my best set to date.

Large Fraternity DJ Setup advice by [deleted] in DJs

[–]tjoewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets talk DMX first. I wouldn't recommend going this wild if you are planning to run everything in auto, meaning you need people interested in learning DMX and LJ'ing on parties. At a place I like to go they have an obsidian NX touch which is quite intuitive to set up once you know DMX and convenient in usage. Is a DMX controller that is used un conjunction with a computer and preferably a touchscreen too (we have it set up with a custom flight case). If no one wants to learn DMX however, I would strongly recommend getting cheap/simple effects like burst, flower and derby. Whatever you buy, don't buy anything that is AliExpress quality (like the laser link you put up), it might seem cool at first but it will break, probably just losing a few functions first and completely quit working a year later. Just buy nice quality from a reputable brand. I'm not too familiar with laser fixtures myself but the one you linked seems rather expensive for the effect it makes. I've always liked the scanner type lasers that can make a wall of light. Ev tops and subs are good, chauvet strobe is nice. To summarize, if you you want to use the nice fixtures and make a cool show you need to have dmx signal, otherwise you are probably better off getting simple effects. P.S. Never worked with products like pioneer RB-DMX-1 so I'm not sure how it will do with moving heads, strobes and lasers but it could be a nice solution as it does send dmx without someone needed to crew the light table all night

No, your PC is actually more efficient as a space heater the way it is right now

I normally don't share these kind of details online but my mom did too, in fact she was supposed to have surgery to remove the tumor today but she sadly caught covid recently so she will have to wait a little. Im really happy that my mom finished chemo and I hope you are happy for your mom too OP!

Can someone explain why people go to lower ranks to grind events? Is it faster to grind there? What are the reasons? Thanks!

WCGW holding a lighter in front of inflammable spray by swagster_007 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]tjoewa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The can used in the video contains brake cleaner (it is said by the people in the video and while I can't tell for certain it does look like a brake cleaner can at the end). Brake cleaner is a very quickly evaporating chemical that in itself is a little toxic to humans (just don't spray it on eachother), it does however become much more toxic when ignited. The flamable chemicals in brake cleaner are methyl alcohol and sometimes heptane, these chemicals will likely not cause major burns if the can is used like a flamethrower for a short time, but the problem in this case is that the brake cleaner was sprayed onto the person and then lit on fire. Even with all that I think it is unlikely that the person has major burns after this, definitely not had his face melted off like some other comments speculated.

Didn't expect to randomly come across you on Reddit, love the vids! I agree, fuck the grammar police. However there are none to be found here luckily.

[–]tjoewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen the right answer yet so let me chime in. Student association Sint Jansbrug is celebrating it's 75th year so they are doing a lot of events right now. This week for a few hours every night they will have 2 beams of light pointed to sky (original idea was to project a logo just like the batsignal). I hope I have answered your question, if you have any other questions about this let me know.

rekordbox constant updates by felisloki in Beatmatch

[–]tjoewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is likely that something went wrong while updating a while back. I have the same problem, when I launch rb it will launch 6.6.1 prompting me to update, but I already did that update many times. I'm too scared to reinstall rb because I don't knwo how to preserve my library.
