I haven’t played an event in a while. Not trying to get political, but with the song YMCA being linked so heavily with Donald Trump these days, is the song viewed as too divisive to play now? The song was generally enjoyed by most of my guests before this past year. Thanks!

Does the sound quality for the A9 headphone output seem worse than the DJM 900nxs2? I owned a nxs2 and got the A9, but the clarity of the songs are different

With the nxs2, it felt like I could hear elements better, specifically in the bass and treble. I think there was a video (maybe it was a review) that said Pioneer upgraded the headphone circuitry. I use the X10 headphones in case that helps. I asked the Pioneer sub and it was deleted for some reason

Anyone else just order from their black friday? I did sunday night. Got confirmation and then nothing. The money cleared. Ive asked them several time and theyre just ignoring all my querys.. im about to contact my bank. All they had to do was respond with anything..

It just feels like a huge mismatched jigsaw puzzle and it’s not even the sound I was looking for but not a lot of producers even make the sound I wanna play so maybe I should just lean into producing

Hey y'all!

I'm trying to get back in touch with a Floridian female DJ I was in contact with earlier this year. I was working to book her for the 2024 Tampa Bay Comic Convention’s on-site after-party. She sent me a couple of videos showcasing her DJ sets, and I immediately loved her energy! She had such a bubbly, fun vibe, and I was really excited about the possibility of working with her.

Unfortunately, her info got lost in my company inbox when we parted ways, and for the life of me, I can't remember her name. I want to find her because I’d love for her to DJ my wedding—she was just too cool.

If anyone has any ideas or recommendations on how to track her down, I’d really appreciate it! Could you also ask the lady DJs in your life if they were contacted (or nearly booked) to DJ the Tampa Bay Comic Convention after-party this year? If it helps, the theme was "Han-olulu Nites" -- think nerdy luau vibes. The event was ultimately cancelled, and that’s when we lost touch.

Thank you SO much for your help! I really hope I can find her so we can collaborate again and so we can possibly bring her magic to my wedding!

I tried Audirvana & it's no good for this. A shame as its great for this. Obviously Apple Music is no good as it won't play FLAC stuff.

I get stuff from Beatport on WAV, Bandcamp on FLAC & am sent stuff in all sorts of formats - plus have folders of stuff again in all sorts of formats & I just want to dump a load of tracks/folders in & let it play continuously whilst I'm working - to have to go back to my downloads or whatever & manually open each track is a pain in the ass.

I've just moved all my music stuff to a new Macbook & the software I used for this on PC isn't available for Mac... I'm happy to pay for the service if it's worth it.

Kind thanks in advance 💚🙏

I recently came across Revibed.com, which appears to be selling digitized vinyl tracks, including hard to find and old house pressings. I think its a super cool idea, but they are charging $2.99 per track. It's not clear to me the extent that artists are getting a cut of that--although the website says they're trying to find them.

I'm wondering if any of you are familiar with the site, whether you've used it and what you think. Seems relevant to the interests of this sub...

Greetings,

Im a DJ interested in learning to scratch. I know I’d like to get just one Rane Twelve, but after a lot of digging I’m not seeing any videos / forum post doing a side by side comparison of the older Mk1 versions over the Mk2.

I know the Mk2s have a screen, dvs output (which I don’t need) and an instant double button. I’d also like to know if they have any improvement of the build quality / function over the Mk1s or if they feel any better.

If there’s no MAJOR improvements I’ll just buy a used Mk1. I plan on using it with my Numark Mixstream Platinum controller while I save up for a Pioneer DJM S-11.

Thank you all In advance!

I'm just curious, I'm a DJ who often uses vinyl but also Serato in DVS or Cdj.

The prices of 12" are sky high, and I have to make a lot of selection to buy only those that I can/want to actually play.

EDIT: I mainly mean new 12", even if the price of used ones has increased

EDIT2: I am very pleased to see that there are many of you. I am not a vinyl only dj, I use also other media, but it is exciting

If anyone is able to find anywhere to but a rålis speaker in the UK please dm me

I currently have around 9,000 tracks on my USB that i wanted to organise into genres. The Rekordbox genres are too limited and inaccurate. Is there any software/website or something similar that would organise the tracks accurately? Long shot i know.

Just bought my buddies XZ and I noticed that I cannot hear any of the beat FX. I tried assigning to the correct channel and also master and still did not get any feedback from the FX. I also made sure that one of the frequency buttons was lit up too.

I was spinning in my headphones when trying this and not through my speakers - is that the issue? I feel like i’ve been able to hear the FX in my headphones when using the controller at my friends house before I bought it.

Any insight as to what I may be missing?

Thanks!

Has anyone figured out how I can use my VR headset and my existing DJ equipment to pretend I'm playing elsewhere, like in a big club?

The pass through would show me my decks but hide the rest of my living room.

I know the Tribe app lets you use virtual equipment in your own space, but I want the opposite of that lol.

i coulda sworn i used your run-of-the-mill RCA to 3.5mm and then a 3.55mm to USB -C to connect the RCA only SP202 to a 2023 USB-C droid.... it works but the sounds it either so jacked up its unusable or its gotta be held in place with like clothes pins and super glue - is this cause i need a DAC? or some variation of a digital to audio converter bc i get USB-C doesnt do anything besides act as a charger and RCA is analog i wasnt born in 2005... maybe i never did get this thing working properly - and if your gonna delete this post that i searched back 6 months for one similar and is not even "Violating" the sub rules - maybe concern yourself with "What do i play at this corporate event?" guy below who is legit doing #5 of the 10 things not to do in here and everyone seems cool with helping him pick a song to play Walmarts holiday cake cutting extravanagaza

I’m working on reviving old polka music records by DJing and adding a modern bass and drum vibe to these retro tracks. Using tools like Stems for separating and reworking drum and bass tracks seems like a straightforward approach. However, I’ve encountered issues: Serato, for example, struggles to separate live drums and bass and often fails to grasp the proper BPM from old records. Offline AI stem solutions like RemixLive handle rhythm tracks separation better but still fail to assign the correct BPM or identify the key tone.

What tools or workflows would you recommend for tackling these issues?

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?

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?
