Mix Club - The Remedial Class
I played Xpander at a gig last night, and have zero shame about it. Worked like a charm.
It’s never really dawned on me as I used vinyl mode early on and haven’t thought about it since, but the default on the XDJ 1000mk2 was vinyl mode off. With it off, and pausing it creates a tiny loop and is stupidly annoying - I read that it helps with queuing, but don’t see how. What does everyone else do and can someone explain in idiot terms why there’s that tiny loop when you have vinyl mode off?
Along_the_Wire I’ve never encountered that and I never use the vinyl mode.
Homegrove what happens when you push pause?
Along_the_Wire I’ve never done that either (cue-button or play-button) so I guess that’s why I’ve never encountered it. Will try at home if my XDJ700s do the same.

Homegrove when it’s playing and I hit cue, it snaps to the cue point and pauses rather than pauses the track in CDJ mode - am I doing something wrong?
Along_the_Wire nope, I use the play-button when pausing in the middle of the track, which I do very rarely.
Homegrove and it doesn’t make a very short loop sound?

Along_the_Wire ah yes, now I understand what you mean. Yes. You can set up a new cue point with it. That’s the function. Just nudge the platter slightly and when it’s where you want it to press cue.
Need to chop 30 seconds off a mix, have a decent idea where I can lose.
Any advice on cheap to download sw that doesn’t have a massive learning curve? Have about 24 hours to sort!!

This is the last time I’m doing a 2 hour mix in one take
Thanks!!
I use audacity too. Edit mixes and tracks in it.
If you can find an old copy of Nero wav editor that’s a piece of piss too with reasonable results.
Thanks all, will have a blast with audacity.
Listened back through last night and now not so sure where! Someone else helping might be a bit of a put on?
Hold tight!
