I haven’t touched my 1200s since my old Rane TTM56 died on me over 10 years ago. I’ve been itching for a mixing.

All I really need out of a mixer is:

-2-channels

-fader w/ an absolute cut-off point

-cue monitoring with mono/split, and cue monitoring level control.

Now I understand this mixer is capable playing digital format, which I will also use. I guess what I’m asking since I’m so out of touch is, how long might this mixer continue to stay supported? Also, is there anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Post about your gigs here - success stories? Disasters? Lessons learned?

Do any pioneer CDJ / XDJ allow you to correct a tracks analysed BPM? Or do you always have to do that in Rekordbox? It would be nice to have a cdj set that lets me do more than slip the beatgrid and also lets me adjust the BPM when rekordbox gets it wrong (most of the time on anything not house).

Thanks 🙌

Hi everyone!

So yesterday I had a show that was videoed in full. It was my job to record the set audio. I typically use DJM-REC app to record my sets, and planned on doing the same for this set as the mixer is the same as I have at home. However for some reason, the audio from the mixer did not record and instead the audio recorded from the mic on my phone. While it is kind of cool to have the background sounds in the recording, the quality of the music itself is terrible.

I have considered rerecording the set, but don’t remember BPM changes or other things I did in the set. Wondering if anyone has any potential solutions for this that maybe I have not thought of? Is there any program that will show me exactly when I the BPMs change in the set so I can mimic that at home? Or maybe a way for me to record a set but then be able to make adjustments to the data and change it on the computer (i feel like I had seen something like this before but I may be tripping).

Any help/suggestions is appreciated!

I want something I can send output to and it’ll display a funky visual. Reminiscent of like the xbox or atari or old windows visualizers. I know I’ll need a screen or a TV or something, I just don’t want a big crazy stack of tech that needs a lot of setup. Looking more for something I can just plug the line into and turn it on and it’ll go. Let me know if anyone has any ideas!! Or if I wasn’t clear enough haha. Thank you!

EDIT: Maybe like a mini speaker with an audio output?

So Tidal just did an update to not allow public play using their streaming service, begins January 2025…. What professional streaming services is everyone using to play out? Top 40, Hip Hop, EDM, R&B… really most genres… skripper club!!

I'm a bit curious about getting some audiophile oriented headphones for mixing at home. I often listen and mix only in my headphones at home and think it might be worth investing in a good listening experience. I know most people recommend HD25s or the pioneer or AIAIAI cans or whatever. And I appreciate that audiophile headphones might be a bit more fragile and not good for travel, but wondering if anybody is in a similar boat and using hifi cans.

Thanks!

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts

I am a DJ for a company that primarily does weddings and corporate parties, but I just picked up a booking for a quinceañera. I’m scheduling a call with the client for later this week, but I want to know what questions I should ask outside of talking music so we have all the bases covered and I don’t sound like a total amateur.

Is there a typical timeline of events that I need to discuss? I briefly googled and looked back through Reddit posts but haven’t seen anything specifically. Thanks so much for any advice!

I recently bought a DJS-1000 and I'm learning how to use all of its features. I'm having trouble creating projects for Brazilian funk beats.

I play Funk and I need projects/samples to play on the DJS-1000. Could someone give me tips on how to buy or create samples at the right time?

Does anyone have funk projects to play live on the DJS-1000? I'll pay for them if necessary.

I need someone to convince me here. I m a bedroom dj in for a new mixer, coming from a cheap one (numark scratch). I use a pair of krk rokit 5 and use turntables but looking into digital as well. I m browsing the entire internet for the past days and there are two options that fall into my interest. I m mainly looking for a mixer with fx, so I m already excluding the xone 23 or other rotary like ecler warm2. The 450 is quite the cheaper option(450 eur used) but from what I m reading the sound quality does not compare with A&H. I really like the versatility of the PX5 (850 eur used)but the price is quite high for someone who s doing this just for fun and for himself alone.

What I m mainly wondering is if the sound quality and warmth that I m hearing about would be really worth for my setup, something that I would really notice.

I have various battle Break Records. The scratch records and beat records make sense to me. The breaks not so much. Anyone in the know?

So I have to preface this by saying I normally couldn’t care less about digital vs vinyl, and very much pride myself on being aware of avoiding the “back in my day” pitfalls people’s tastes can fall into as they get older, but that said…

For those of you in the 20+ club, what are your opinions on newer competitions vs the classic vinyl ones? I just watched a breakdown of those past years, and like many other current ones, I just couldn’t get into it. It’s amazingly skillful, but part of me feels like something has been lost with the digital setup. I can’t put my finger on it either.

I have a Minirig 3 - very good but lacks low end. Yes, buy the Sub but then it's more cumbersome, more cables, longer setup, more money etc. Is there a good 50W+ speaker that doesn't have latency and is battery powered with some decent low end?

Hi,

I use streaming services as part of my workflow to find new music, and organise what I find into playlists. I've found it incredibly time consuming to then search for the songs on music store sites like Bandcamp, Beatport etc.

Is anyone else similarly annoyed by this? Does anyone know of any tools that could automate this?

Hey everyone, anyone recommend a flight case for the PLX cross 12?

So I am in the market for some cdj’s. I currently have some 1200’s I’ve spun vinyl on since the late 90’s and a pioneer 750mk2. Not sure I want to spend the money on the cdj 3000’s, was looking at the 900NXS or the xdj 1000mk2’s. Anyone have any advice one way or the other? Pros/cons? Not really looking for a controller

Does anyone here have plans for a diy DJ booth for 2 technics and a xone mixer? Edit: technics = reloops

I DJed at a dive bar last night and it was not really busy but a little steady throughout the night and after 4 hours, the bartender gave me 20 bucks and told me it was a slow night. I've DJed there in the past and made between 60-80 bucks and yes it was more busier but 20 bucks is ridiculous. Typically I make 50-60 and some on week days at random bars or 100-150 and up on weekends. I wanted to go off on the guy but I was more in shock by this bs. Has anyone ever dealt with this shit?

My friend is getting into making music, she wants to make dubstep and riddim. She has a deck, it’s the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck Rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller. Im looking to get some nice dj stuff for Christmas, any suggestions? Looking to spend up to $500 max open to any priced items as I have other gifts in mind as well

Yesterday I’ve been to a techno party which the headliner was one of my favorite DJ / Producer. They had a nice lineup and an opening b2b. I know the headliner well and I always play his tracks, so I am very familiar with his releases. This opening DJs, however, played one of his tracks and it made me question whether it is rude or a normal thing. What do you feel about the opening DJs to play headline’s tracks? I have witnessed the closing DJs playing headliner’s tracks after them but not this.

Say i wanna add a bit of reverb on a transition that didn't go well in a 1 hour set. Is there an app/tool for this?

I'm a vinyl purist until I die. Have a Rane One and ehhh I don't hate it but I don't love it. Thinking of getting two Rane 12s to do the tracks that I don't have on vinyl. currently rocking an S9 which I absolutely love. What would be a great 4 channel to get where I can still scratch but also do long mixes? Because I'm not only a hiphop head.. but am I huge progressive house, breaks and trance lover. So I want something to do smooth vinyl mixes as well as Serato. I don't not want anything I have to use Rekordbox btw...

This is really only an issue if it's an open access dj booth, but I had someone I didn't know come up to the booth and photograph my list of 15 or so tracks. No asking, no hello, didnt feel right. Like a chefs ingredients list being made public, sure portioning is key but I kinda see my track list like my secret sauce.

If you Shazamed all the songs I played, ofc I can't have an issue with that though.

We are taking all the necessary steps to avoid getting the equipment wet but would love some advice if anyone has done this before.

We are using a small generator to power the whole thing. Wish me luck 😊

I have my first set at a well renowned famous venue in the UK. I've always downloaded MP3 320kps for the size. Is this going to be extremely noticeable on a top sound system? Basically am I going to have to redownload the music I want as WAV

As in the title.
