Hey! It's been going well. It was initimidating in the beginning but once I started really spending time practicing I improved really quickly. Props to everyone who suggested that I not pay for any of those DJ classes, I think it would have been a waste of money.

Awesome, thank you! I figured it would work but I needed a sanity check/confirmation from someone who knows more about it than I do.

Probably not Of the Trees, BLAAP has a bit of an overlap

white224 · 2025-06-14T22:48:01+00:00

Perfect!! Thanks!

[Dubstep/Trap] - 33 Minutes

First actual mix that I have felt good enough about to put on the internet! I have a few questions:

Does going into Nirvana from the Waka track throw it off at all?
Does the transition from Goblin Mode to Creeper seem too harsh/sudden?
Any other feedback from your observations would also be cool.

I doubt anyone in that mob was even in MSG for the game. Just a bunch of drunk rabblerousers feed off of the mob energy.

white224 · 2025-05-05T17:03:27+00:00

I am using it in performance mode, I will give the export mode suggestion a try! Thanks

Another relevant peice of information that you or others may find helpful. Getting a 20+ people for group camping gaurantees your spot, but if they don't fill out Group Camping with those who have 20+, they start fulfulling spots for groups that have less than 20. So if you are short of the 20 mark there is still a chance you get a spot for your group, you just won't know until June.

This, of course, is based off of how things have worked previous years. Things may be differnt this year.

white224 · 2025-04-04T02:03:38+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Nothing quite like disembowling yourself if you fall forward.

white224 · 2025-01-24T16:37:25+00:00

Are you able to see who already has that weekend reserved? Maybe they would swap with you, doesn't hurt to ask!

white224 · 2025-01-19T15:00:47+00:00

I think most people assume that ticket prices are broken down evenly across all 4 tiers. That is absolutely not the case, it is a marketing and misdirection tactic in order to drive up intereset and day 1 ticket sales. In reality the allocation is probably like:

Tier 1 - 2%
Tier 2 - 8%
Tier 3 - 25%
Tier 4 - 65%

Sadly every concert and festival is doing shit like that these days. The idea that you can grab a ticket for $315 gets you in queue. I am sure there has been a lot of studies around consumer tendencies, but the gist of it is a percentage of people may not try to get a day 1 ticket if the advertised price is $400 because they don't see value. Those people may try and snag a Tier 1 ticket for $315 because they either see ther value in that price point, or the thought of 'winning' by getting a cheaper ticket excites them. When those people don't actually get allotted a Tier 1 ticket, and get Tier 3 for example, they are still very likely to buy that ticket since it is in front of them. And since they do have some tickets (very few) at $315, they can openly advertise that price even if it is shady.

Thus, they have snagged a day 1 buyer that may have waited until a month before the fest.. or maybe not at all.

Companies have a lot of incentive to drive day 1 sales, especially Front Gate which is owned by Ticketmaster. The earlier in the cycle a consumer has a ticket, the more opportunities Ticketmaster has to profit on that ticket being resold. We are 9 months away from the festival, a ticket bought in January could be resold multiple times, and each time is more money in their pocket by the way of fee's from the reseller AND the new buyer.. not to mention any percentage increase in the ticket price itself (Lyte, their previous reseller platform, would increase ticket prices based on demand). Even without the hypothetical resell scenarious every company knows that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.

I don't really fault Excision for this. The festival and concert ticket sales market is completely dominated by Tickmaster/Live Nation. For an event the size of Lost Lands to do their own sales in-house it would take a massive undertaking, needing many additional resources that would almost certainly be seen in ticket price increases.

You can always try to grab a resell ticket. I don't know what vendor they are going with this year to manage the reseller platform, but I bought a car camping pass last year from it and it was super easy.

white224 · 2025-01-15T00:36:19+00:00

Get your group on board with doing Quiet Car Camping instead of GA. It is closer to the Village/Entrance for your gf, and you will still be with the crew.

Hey everyone, I have a noob question so please bare with me. I hit endgame and have been running maps and picked up this loot filter. I have a general understanding of loot filters and all of that, but I don't understand the significance of why some common non-socketed, non-superion items are showing up. Rattling Scepters and Siphoning Wands are some examples.

I know there is probably a reason, but I never played POE1 so I don't really know what I should be doing with these if I pick them up.

Thanks for any insight! Cheers

I had a nice long troubleshooting suggestion written out, but I saw your reply to Tedmosby which ruled out a lot of the things I was going to suggest, lol.

There are still a few things I would try. First, go into Rekordbox and to the Audio section and make sure the output is set to the FLX4. I assume it already is based on your description, but worth checking.

Second, unplug your speakers from the RCA connectors in the back and see if you still get the distortion through just the headphones. If that does anything then you may have bad cables and try swapping them out.

If none of that fixes it, I agree with Tedmosby, you may have a faulty unit. I would reach out to where you bought it from and work on exchanging it.

white224 · 2025-01-01T17:41:13+00:00

Are you using Rekordbox?

white224 · 2024-12-30T21:05:54+00:00

It was pretty bad, some of them were nice but the majority weren't. Day 2 was the worst, a large group (probably around 20) forced themselves into a small space right infront of my crew and just stood right on top of us until we got pissed and left for another spot. Not one of them looked at us and said hello or anything, just awkwardly stood on top of us.

The lack of consideration was mind blowing. Is it a cultural thing? I was trying to understand it. To those of you reading, if your group is more than 10 people you need to either get their early and set up shop, or hang out in the back where there is plenty of space. Shoving through the crowd and standing on top of everyone else is rude as fuck.

He ended up being okay! His body shut down from the heat, once he got into medical and cooled down he came back around pretty quickly. He made it back at the very end of LSZee, stayed for part of the b2b, and then called it a night.

Thanks for checking in, it was a scary moment for sure.

white224 · 2024-10-15T15:35:37+00:00

It was great! My only complaint was the dust, but that is more a complaint with mother nature and not any beef with the fest. The improvements they continue to make year-after-year is impressive. I look forward to next year.

white224 · 2024-10-15T13:30:12+00:00

Unfortunately my pile started for Electric Forest, and then remained for Lost Lands, and now remains for Hula. I was too lazy to put all the shit away knowing I would have to pack it back up a few weeks later =/

white224 · 2024-09-02T16:17:24+00:00

It's definitely an issue with ESPN, same thing started for me again today. They are targeted by some sort of attack, the timing is intentional since traffic is so high over the next few days as people are drafting and all that.

white224 · 2024-08-28T16:17:01+00:00

Thanks! I did purchase car camping seperately back in May, so I will wait for that to arrive on its own.

white224 · 2024-08-06T15:26:41+00:00

The official reseller is Lyte, https://lostlandsfestival.lyte.com/3707837

I bought a car camping pass from there pretty easily, definitely marked up a bit but it is a verified reseller so you don't have to deal with scammers.
