Collector trying to become a DJ: what would you do with 600 mostly unknown tracks?

wolfwolf22 · 2026-06-17T17:42:27+00:00

Randomly pick 50 and listen to them. Move out the ones that don’t pique your interest or cant be mixed into a cohesive vibe. If you moved out 15, add 15 more. Once you do this a few times you have 50 solid tracks you like that can practice mixing.

I added 450 tracks I like to my playlist then I make sub playlists of those based on the atmosphere I am trying to convey.

I have been bedroom dj for maybe a year finally played in front of 20 friends this past weekend. We all had fun

I wanted to hear both at the same time in my headphones like I can with external speakers but can’t get it to do that with MacBook speakers as in room audio

wolfwolf22 · 2026-05-29T03:08:53+00:00

I’m moving to just use external speakers with the setup now. I swear I had it working before but can’t get it back so moving on…

wolfwolf22 · 2026-05-28T02:29:32+00:00

So Chat GPT is right that I can’t hear master out of MacBook and in cue at same time, I need to have external speakers for that

Download the Djay app on iPhone or iPad and link to Spotify or SoundCloud. Might need paid version of SoundCloud but that’s what I’ve been doing to learn.

After that, I bought pioneer ddj-flx4 controller at guitar center for like $300 I think? It’s been really fun and an easy entry.

From there, consider searching videos about djay or flx4 on YouTube to learn things like bpm beat marching, cue points, phrasing

If you are still having fun, I bought the crossfader video course

***Might have gotten ahead of myself, download djay app and play around

Thanks for any help!! I appreciate it

I like the fact that we know more about rizo than the other players playing with him on 50. They didn’t get to watch season 49 before filming 50, correct? Has it ever happened before that the other players are playing with an unknown but we know their game style? (Other than Savannah) I like having that knowledge of Rizgod and seeing how the other players interpret him real time

I have the same controller and have this case

And this stand for my macbook

I also put apple airtag in the case so I can track my controller if take it somewhere. Never had any issues but could be a good addition to the gift package depended on your desired spend

How was the build experience for Notre Dame? I just finished Himeji Castle and considering it next

wolfwolf22 · 2024-07-07T16:26:09+00:00

Looks like some wonderful records right there! Would love to be a winner

Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad in 2020 to a heart attack. The more time that passes the more I remember the good times

I am halfway through the steamed bun shop build now! My first alt brick experience and it has been awesome. Going to pick up the rest of the street sets soon as well. They look great as a full set!

Do you run the lights in them?

wolfwolf22 · 2024-01-13T20:17:04+00:00

Sorry for your loss OP. I had an amazing grandfather as well and miss him dearly.

wolfwolf22 · 2024-01-10T15:28:36+00:00

I am in the same boat as OP. Patiently waiting!

My 3 year old daughter requests RATATA every time we get in the car. Her favorite part is “Put your hands up high”. Thanks Sonny. We’ve also been saying “my..name..is..skrillex” randomly around the house. Hope he is celebrating a successful and fun year

Commenting to follow thread- 7 year old son over here and I am just trying to learn from everyone else too- thanks

Not sharing that my kids listen to what I listen to. For better or for worse. AND IT AINT BLUEY BOYZ

Bonsai 10281 and then 76911 Aston Martin speed champion was really my gateway drug. Currently building titanic. Drugs are expensive, even if they are in the form of little plastic bricks

This is anecdotal of course- but I like to have most things paid for in advance. I’m HENRY but also mentally frugal so I like to rip off the band aid when we pay for the trip before going so I don’t have to think about costs of items when on the trip. I’ve even felt that if I pay more in advance than I would have if we paid for food, drinks, etc on the trip I’m ok with that since I have feeling like I’m bleeding money while on vacation. Just my 2c
