I drive a lot during the day for my job, and love listening to mixes, and to my recently-liked tracks, “station” feeds etc. Great way to dig for tracks during the day. What I’d really love is some kind of app with a shortcut, which would let me quickly flag whatever is currently playing, with a track name and time position within that track. A shortcut I could set on my iPhone so I can do it with one or two taps while driving. Anyone know of an app like this?

Hey everyone, I want to record a mix with the sound coming from my Vestax PCV-275 mixer.

I’ve got a Zoom h1e recorder that I had previously bought for field recordings and was wondering if it was good enough for this or if I needed to buy a different kind of equipment.

Was DJing my first party and actually had the crowd lit tonight until two idiot girls spilled a drink all over my computer. Computer almost immediately started glitching and running wild. Booted back up and ran for about 15 minutes before completely going rogue. Of course I kept trying to run it and after looking it up thag seems like a huge mistake. Won’t even turn on now. Not sure what to do or even how to handle it — I need my computer for class on monday 😭

I have a question about the Split Cue function on the Xone:92.

When Split Cue is enabled and all channel CUE buttons are turned OFF, what happens to the headphone output?

• Does the MASTER signal play through both ears?
• Or does it remain in the right ear only, leaving the left ear silent?

I own a Xone:96, which automatically returns the MASTER signal to both ears in this situation.

I'm wondering if the Xone:92 behaves the same way.

I'd appreciate it if someone with a Xone:92 could confirm this.

Thanks!

Been playing out a fair bit recently..im primarily playing on vinyl: disco, boogie, funk, house is my favourite kind of set to play.

Did 4 hours vinyl only this weekend. Dancefloor was still full until 3.30am. Clapped off. Bar happy. Pretty girls fluttering their eyelashes at me. People saying im blowing their mind.....

And all I can do is cringe at my bad transitions. The miscommunication i had with that 1 punter. The bad song selection that confused the crowd...

I'm anxious because a lot of my friends/acquaintances didn't come. And many that have come once don't come twice ("does that mean my last gig was shit?!?!?"). Anxious when people go out for a smoke. Or when they stop dancing...

Its like..I don't trust myself and I need feedback to solidify my ego or something idk. I just needed to get this out there and ask if anyone else deals with the same and if there's anything i can do to solve it?

Hey guys

Looking for opinions from people running QSC gear.

I currently DJ a weekly bar gig with about 75-100 people. Maybe about 20 people dancing but mostly people are just hanging out. My music is mostly hip-hop, R&B, Afro, and Latin, so there's a lot of low end.

My setup: QSC CB10 on a pole over a KS112 sub, mono.

It's not bad, plenty loud, but I do find that the CB10's limiter kicks in a couple of times a night. The Sub is amazing though, maybe only ever limited once when I played DNA by Kendrick Lamar.

Anyway, with the CB10 limiting, I was considering upgrading to a K10.2 or K12.2 for the top, and eventually adding a second one to make a pair that I could use for weddings and bigger events.

I have a 150-guest wedding coming up and plan to do more of them. I'd prefer to run the pair without a sub if it holds up. If I need a sub, I'll use my KS112, and for bigger events I'll rent a bigger sub.

In terms of the CB10, I'm either keeping it for ceremonies and cocktail hours, or selling it and getting an Electro-Voice Everse 8 for that job.

Just a few questions:

K10.2 or K12.2? Is the 12" worth the extra weight and cost for a pair running without a sub? How many people can I comfortably manage with the 10s in an indoor wedding like the one I have coming up? I also heard that the 10s have wider dispersion so I’m factoring that in.

Hey, I've been looking to get a reverb for my Xone 92 for some time and since there are so many to choose from (Styron blue sky, teile revolo, eventide h9/h90 etc.) I wanted to get recommendations. I would like to spend maybe a max. of 300-400€ on it and am looking to get it second hand. I play hypnotic techno mostly.

I decided to try out serato on my iPad tonight. It's a smaller nightclub, around 500 person capacity. I typically play on cdj-3ks and a djm900nxs2 mixer, but I brought in my backup flx10 and plugged in my 2022 M2 iPad pro with 8 gb ram and 256 gb hdd.

The interface is fine, easy to see waveforms and track information, but key is very tiny, hard to read. Scrolling through my playlists was great with the touch screen, I like it a lot compared to the ol' nipple-twist pioneer scroll knob.

The output from the board was strangely low compared to running off my laptop. Typically running the flx10 with my laptop, I have the channel trims low, and at parity from the channels which gets me to parity at the master channel if I have it set to "0db" on the master trim pot. With the iPad, I had to be running around +3-6 db on the individual channels to be at parity on the master channel. Not a huge issue, but pretty weird. I asked some friends how our sounded on the floor, and they said it "sounded normal"

The big issue I ran into was when scrolling very fast through larger Playlist (300+ tracks) I had two instances of audio dropout. They were split second, but I wasn't particularly happy about it. I was also running an "iPad cooler" that I attached magnetically to the iPad to prevent any thermal throttling, so this was an even bigger surprise that I had this issue. My guess is that 8 gb of ram just isn't enough, so i am planning on buying a new iPad with 16gb of ram and trying this again.

All in all, I really liked the form factor, I loved getting the laptop out of the booth, and i loved the streamlined interface. If not for the two audio dropouts, it was a perfect 4 hour run. I liked it enough that I'm willing to attempt this again with a new iPad

I saw a comment saying that pitch n time does a much better job of maintaining the key of the music when changing the BPM. Could someone who has used it share their opinion on this?

I’ve recently started getting gigs where the promoter expects me to play to the crowd, rather than booking me for the style and energy I bring. This has tested my library, as I usually stick around the house/garage/UKG niche.

I’ve survived so far, but going forward, I don’t want to keep playing the same songs over and over, so I’m looking to diversify.

Are there any tools, sites or apps that let you filter tracks by popularity within a specific niche? For example, Garage Top 10, SoundCloud Top 10 in the UK, House Top 100, etc.

Beatport doesn’t have the filters I need, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've been on a mission with Claude to make all my music gear work flawlessly across generations.

Have always been angry at Rane for abandoning the Sixtyfour so soon after its release, and I'm pleased to announce that you can now use your awesome mixer with the latest versions of Windows.

I have it running through Ableton 12 right now as a control surface and audio interface.

Due to something called a EULA I can't actually share the driver files even for a product that has been completely abandoned by its manufacturer so I will be putting scripts and a guide on github for those of you brave enough to download the driver from archive.org and get it all setup.

If you have even the basic sub to GPT or Claude you can point it at that page and it will do the rest for you.

Share your mixes, videos, music, routines etc here.

Promotion for events or livestreams will be removed.

New Technics MKX video. Better insulation than MK7's allegedly, +- 50% pitch, similar features that competitors have had for years. Is this too little too late?

EDIT: JFC 1300 QUID??!!!!

I see DJ is selling bootlegs and remixes of famous songs on Bandcamp all the time. Many of which I have purchased.

I have made a few mash ups that got a lot of attention on Instagram, but I can’t post m them on YouTube or Spotify since I don’t have distribution rights…

How risky is it to post them on Bandcamp? Do people ever get sued for distributing songs on there?

Hey, does anyone here use a coiled cable for their Sennheiser HD 25s? How do you find it?

I currently have the standard straight 1.5-meter cable, but it’s too short for me. I jump around and dance a lot while DJing, and I’ve accidentally yanked it really hard on several occasions.

A coiled cable sounds like a good solution, but I’ve read online that it’s supposedly quite heavy and can cause the headphones to slip off your head.

Since it’s not exactly cheap, I’d love to know if any of you use one and how it works for you. Does it actually weigh the headphones down? And is it worth switching from the original cable to this longer, coiled one?
