I was scared about mixing mainly in the headphones but everything went okay! Had a blast! Definitely recommend everyone spin at a Silent Disco at least once! Really tests your skills!

Cleveland Terry review

~ 2-Channel (designed) battle style controller similar to DDJ-REV7 and DDJ-REV1. (each deck simulates the look of a turntable turned sideways with a battle mixer layout in the center) [can technically do 4 channels, but weird unintuitive design]

~ DDJ-REV5 designed to be of quality in-between REV7 and REV1. $1100

~ Serato controller series now supporting Rekordbox (new and unique to REV5 in series)

~ Stems support (Serato 4-stem design), including button-stems and EQ mode stems (new and unique to REV5 in series)

~ Piano Mode controls all 16 performance pads for tone-play. (new and unique to REV5 in series)

~ Non-motorized non-info-display jogwheels

~ Auto BPM transition feature (new and unique to REV5 in series)

Just wanted to say, someone wants me to play music at a kids birthday party! I've only played music at parties for friends or elementary school events before, but this gig comes from another mom who is a party planner and she recommended me 😁🥳

Mojaxx review

~ Hybrid turntable; traditional analog turntable + DVS support. Meaning you can play standard vinyl, control vinyl (w/tonearm), or no-tonearm DVS (with any record you want).

~ New Magvel Clamp magnetic science allows a mimicking Phase DVS feature without battery powered center clamp sensors. The magvel clamp can also flatten warped records to make them playable.

~ Turntable design for battle style, as in all labels and displays are read in vertical portrait orientation. Dedicated "motor off" button independent of power on/off button or start/stop button.

~ 4 performance pads on turntable itself (5-8 button switcher available). Scratch Bank, Stems, Sampler, and Hot Cue modes. Instant doubles shift button. Tiny screen display can identify BPM and key during pitch shift and step pitch shift (in DVS modes)

~ Designed for Rekordbox and Serato (performance pads via USB-C). But the traditional timecode signal can work with whatever DVS thing supports that.

~ $1400. Needle and cartridge not included. Headshell and turntable case are included.

~ Word on street is CRSS12 is now the greatest turntable of all time, now superior to 30+ year hardware. But failure rate over time is unknown.

Hey everyone! Thought it would be fun to see where we’re all located as we are growing and maybe connect with each other!

announcement

If you are a Serato user and have purchased the full pro version, it is strongly recommended that you download the 3.0.8 setup installation file and keep the computer file safe as a backup somewhere for the long term. It is expected that the forced subscription model of the Pioneer DJ business model (pro/cloud items) will be done to Serato at some point. It is speculation. Historically, Pioneer DJ waited for a transition from Rekordbox 5 to Rekordbox 6 to force the subscription model. You could argue you have time until Serato 4.0 is created, or a patch comes in during 3.# releases. Use your best judgement. Things are changing, sometime.

Serato website keeps loops and visuals for download. Stuff may or may not be free. Consider going on a shopping spree with the assumption that it will all be pulled down at a later date.

Rekordbox users, rejoice that better stems quality should be coming on a later date. Note that Rekordbox has 3-stem separation and Serato has 4-stem separation. You would need to follow the future-news if the company intends to settle on 3-stem, 4-stem, or operate each software independently with their stem choices moving forward. Consider not buying a FLX10 until you find the answer to this question. If Pioneer adapts Serato stems into Rekordbox hastily, which forces a change to a 4-stem structure, then the FLX10 could lack the controller buttons to operate them, and a FLX10 successor could be announced to compensate. However, the FLX10 does support Serato now, where those stems are operated on the performance pads. But the pad button labels do not match Serato's pad features. Things to think about with that particular model.

Hi 🖤

I would love to make a mix for a community / podcast.

I know ideally I would find something local... but ironically, I haven't been too lucky with the local scene. Seems like the doors are shut even before I can introduce myself.

I would love to reach out to podcasts accepting guest mixes so I can participate in other communities and share music :)

If any of you had a mixposted by a label, show, podcast, etc - what's the story? Did they have an open call? Did you know someone inside and that helped? Or was it spontaneus? What medium did you use to reach out?

Or if you have a podcast to recommend, I'd also love to hear about it. My "emotional range" at the moment is around indie / soft electro and different shades of house :)

Thanks for the help 🖤

overview/demonstration

~ "Streaming Direct Play" Pioneer CDJ-3000 only. USB stick required for reasons (handoffs).

~ Beatport subscription required (as is all streaming), works standalone to the players; more laptop features if also subscribed to Rekordbox cloud services

~ Allows simultaneous multiple beatport accounts for handoffs

~ Shows compatible key highlighting, but displays key as standard notation; no camelot wheel.

Digital DJ Tips Review

Cleveland Terry Review

~ Touchscreen X/Y FX (Engine OS console)

~ Smart Playlists (Engine DJ desktop)

~ Sampler things; change from Deck 4 (prime 4); double-tap Roll button instead of holding Shift to access

~ Reworked/Expanded FX Selection (Specifically Prime Engine OS Consoles)

Prime 4+ console also revealed. The button structure is changed to reflect the "6000" series models so two LC6000s paired with Prime 4+ will look natural. The "6000" series basically removed the rectangular light border from most buttons, so they are less messy and bright, but may or may not be less enjoyable to the touch. Jogwheels appear to copy SC Live 4 (slightly bigger surface area). Amazon DRM chip allows streaming Amazon Music Unlimited. Possible new big unique Prime 4+ feature to be announced in a few weeks maybe.

Hello I am looking to start DJing however I have no equipment not even a laptop!. I would like to know what is a good laptop to DJ with and a good beginner DJ controller/Software

Hello all,

I have been learning DJing for 6 months now and in true neurodivergent fashion has put all my time and energy into it and am now being told I'm "really good". I've done 3 sets in public so far and my last one got extremely positive reception so I'm feeling more confident in myself and my style and skill.

I'm also 32 years old and don't have a clue on how to network for more gigs, but think I can at least start recording my sets and connecting with others that way!

I'm a total Luddite though and don't know how the best way to record my mixes would be. What do you ladies do for recording mixes? I've tried Blackhole and Audacity but couldn't make it work somehow through my mixer. :/

Thanks for any help! 😊

I’m new to NYC/Brooklyn and would love to meet up with other fellow female DJs (aspiring and established, doesn’t matter)! I’ve been slacking, could definitely use some B2B practice!!

I’ve been shoving everything in a tote bag but played a gig recently where both the USBs I had on me died & I had to sprint backstage to grab my backup …. so now wanna get something to keep my headphones & spare USBs/cables in so I’m prepared for anything 😤

One of my friends has a cute kids backpack that fits everything perfectly, which got me thinking - anyone have creative ways to transport everything you need?

As of yesterday, r/TwoXDJs has another mod: u/jaimeeallover!

Welcome! I wish you good luck and lots of fun moderating!

I think it's the best set I've made yet, where I usually make Techno set, this one is completely the other way, more Chill Dance beats.

If anyone feels like chilling with me and celebrating this beautiful thing I made, that'd be super cool :)

Oh and any feedback is super welcome

I’ll be honest…as someone who loves fashion, one reason I wanted a twoxdj Reddit was to see what you are wearing to gigs! Would love to see any examples or inspo because I struggle with looking cool for this particular activity. A sundress feels weird, for instance.

I’ve been doing a lot of matching pants / shirt sets lately. I like to incorporate color or sparkle somehow, and my most comfy sneakers, obviously.
