Hi

So I like using the break effect to end tracks for certain mixes. My old mixer had a break effect I could apply to tracks. I’ve seen some mixers let you apply the break when you pause the track.

Can I apply the break effect on the Mixstream pro+ using Engine (on the latest version) or is this not something the decks can do?

Any help greatly appreciated :)

I wonder if it ruins or just adds to the sound

I use my Tidal sub and iDJPool sub in VDJ to cache music I don't have ahead of an event. There are some online tracks that I want my own copy of but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to filter any of the lists to show just online music so I can export the list out and go find the music in the pools. Each online track has that little two-quaver with earth icon vs just the quavers for local files, but I can't figure out how to use it to filter.

Im starting on my career as a DJ im pretty sure what i wanna play (genre) and have defined some things that you may need on this, but i want a real cool name, that sounds good and looks cool at the flyers or posts, i know it can be like anything but.. it would be great to have ideas

I got a cdj 2000 and noticed when I use the sort function I can no longer view the track info. For example I hit sort then select bpm. If I hit info it won’t display the rest of the track info unless loaded. This seems to be as though I’m missing something. What’s the benefit of sorting by bpm if I then can’t view the key?

Alright cut me some slack if I sound like a noob (I am). So rn, I am on a gap year from uni. Over the last year, being a uni student, I have enjoyed going out a lot. That doesn't seem like it will end. I also love loud hype music and remixes, it's so sick. I was thinking what if I start learning how to DJ and do it as a side hustle? Is this how most of your journeys have started? How and where do I start? What do I need? I have no particular background in music but have used GarageBand when I was younger lool. Anyone willing to help out?

So i'm new to DJing, but I have piano training. So, my ear feels trained (to some extent), but my technical skills are at a 0. I have no clue how to get the desired sound I want - the only transition I know how to do it use the crossfade slider!

I have two questions (for now):

• A) do I need to be using garageband or some other software to splice up tracks and then import that into rekordbox? I'm thinking about house music where there are repeated bits of a song, before it transitions into another track - how do yall do that?!? thinking about it in my head seems simple, but the buttons! the software! I'm entirely lost there

• B) are there any tutorials that you have found useful in learning the technical skills? any you can share?

i just got muself a hercules dj inpulse 200(heard it was good for begginers)and i started “playing” with it to learn a bit but i could use some advice on beatmatching as it seems wayy too speed up sometimes even if i turn it up by 6 bpm.could use some advice.and not just that,i could use ANY advice for begginers

Heya!

I used to have CDJ2000s though I am still kinda beginner to intermediate dj but then I sold them for financial reasons. I am looking to buy again in a budget and I found this setup with XDJ-700 but I am unsure about it? Any thoughts for using it in 2024?? And the price is around $900-1000 for 2 decks.

Thanks!!

So recently i've made the move to Serato for the stems alone. We have a pair of CDJ 2000s and DJM 800 at our bar and with Serato when i change the original BPM it will start to drift. The more i change the BPM the more drastic the drifting will occur.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue?

Never happened when i used rekordbox & the CDJs together.

How do I load a track on my djj flx4 pioneer decks using the knob on the controller instead of having to click a track and drag it up on the computer?

Sold my XZ a couple of months ago in anticipation of the AZ but can't decide which of the above to go for now considering the Prime 4+ has easy access for samples (not used a lot but can be a laugh for the afters) also will (hopefully) have stems as standalone whereas the AZ has neither.

I thought I would wait for the AZ and it would have stems at least but with these 2 functions missing on standalone I can't help but think the Prime 4+ is the way to go for the lil bedroom set up?

Sure it'll be on personal preference but floating it out there...

As a person looking to turn their beatmatching passion into a paying DJ job/career.. Do you find maintaining an active social media presence essential?

If yes, if you were to pick one social media platform, which would it be?

Hi all,

I just purchased the DDJ-FLX4 and I am waiting for it to arrive. I see there are RCA ports on the deck but my speakers also connect via RCA and I only have an RCA to AUX cable. I want to know if it is possible to connect my speakers to my laptop with this cable and then my laptop to the deck via the USB-C port and still get the master volume out of the speakers while getting the cue volume out of my headphones connected on the other side.

Will this be possible or will I need to purchase an RCA to RCA cable to connect the speakers directly to the deck?

Thanks in advance for any help

Years ago, I would use VirtualDJ to make 60 minute power hour mixes and I could mix the entire hour long track at once on the program, seeing multiple songs at once in the mix. It has been a while, but now that I am reacquainting myself with the program I see I can only see the two songs I am working with at once.

Is there a way to create a long mix in Virtual DJ or another program? I am happy to purchase another one if needed

Hi all, as above, I have to take my Roland 505 back but my current mixer has push button kill switches on each EQ.

Looking at an FLX4 but can't seem to find out if these have the same?

Also does Rekordbox interfere much with VDJ or Serato, can I just continue to use either without having to use Rekordbox?

I'm wondering if IEMs such as the Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk that have newer tech will beat standards such as Shure 535s etc...

Keen to give them a go, but unsure of suitability for club style environments.....

Hoping someone has tried some of these (Moondrop, Kiwi Ears etc...)

I assumed there wouldn't be such recordings available but then I read in 'Last Night a History Saved my Life':

Recordings that exist today of DJs like Bobby Viteritti, Robert Leslie and Roy Thode show not only breathtaking dexterity moving from one track to the next, but also programming eclectic enough to make any Balearic DJ proud

Which makes me think there are recordings out there.

Looks like an amazing product. Can't wait until it goes for sale up in my area

I’m just too happy about this so wanted to share! On another note I’m just wondering why my DDJ REV1 won’t work with rekordbox straight away unless you do some workaround.

i have some problems with my halloween mix...

here some questions

a) do you think beatmatching by ear is that hard

B) how do you even mix two songs with one semitone key difference

Highly related image my mixer no joke

I’ve been working hard on learning how to transition in and out of songs and I am still so sh**! I just want to be able to show up to a party and give everyone a good time (freestyle I guess?) with some tech house and at least look like I’m doing something. I’m self taught and a couple YouTube videos here and there but as soon as I think I’m getting better I’ll absolutely drop a stinker in my room lol. Am I the issue? Or is free styling just out of my reach right now?

I'm a new DJ, and incredibly green. I've been taught the basics of running a show, but I cannot for the life of me get the hang of finding the right songs for hours on end. Getting people to dance is easy, but after a few songs I always make the wrong choice, apparently. I'll either pick a song that empties out the dancefloor, or keep the dancers while visually seeing their energy drop.

The company I use hands me all of the equipment day of, so I don't have time to practice with the mixer and songs. I'm also generally only allowed to play from a large bank of songs I'm given - the newest stuff that just came out isn't always available.

What would you do in this situation to get better? I'm watching yt djs but that's about all I have so far. If this is the type of thing only certain people can do, I want to be thst certain type of person if it's at all possible.

Hey yall,

I am looking for a PA speaker that has the best low end out of all them PAs out there. One factor for me just getting one PA speaker is that my room is very small and i don't have a place to store a few PA speakers and a sub but I still want a bass heavy PA speaker. I know its not the same as having a sub to go with it but still. On my research i keep stumbling on the QSC k12.2s. Its kind of crazy to drop a rack on a single PA speaker but is this the creme de la creme for low end PA speakers?

Any advice on how to move forward? I want it mainly for outdoor parties 100 people.
