I guess that’s the inevitable timeline when you overcharge, oversell, and the acts are mostly shit.

They are booking Blur and Will Smith for a bunch of zoomers who want to see Tyler the Creator. Bunch of Gen X idiots running it I would guess.

mono-stereo I dunno, I’ve just seen another video and she just doesn’t know what she’s doing at all. Rekordbox is a solid bit of kit - it might get the bpm wrong now and again, but I’ve had it happen maybe twice in years. She doesn’t know what she’s doing at all. She can’t even play a song unmixed it some parts. Maybe someone was being malicious, but I dunno about that.

      Along_the_Wire I’ve just seen another video and she just doesn’t know what she’s doing at all.

      Oh it’s this 100%. She didn’t know how to use the CDJs and wasn’t familiar with the tunes. This is a person who was kept locked in Elon’s basement whilst being repeatedly impregnated. Add in her clear autism and it’s not a total shock that she would turn up unprepared and not think it would be an issue.

          Again, as I explained above the likely issue is not with Rekordbox’s analysis per se - but rather that the tempo range in settings given for it to analyse the tunes was set as being too low/narrow, eg 80-140 bpm, meaning say a tune at 160 would not be marked as 160 but rather as 80.

          Along_the_Wire Maybe someone was being malicious, but I dunno about that.

          I doubt that as well, but whoever put the tunes in to Rekordbox for her missed something. It maybe would make sense if it had been her Tale of Us bf, as I doubt any of his tunes ever normally go high at all and so his default analysis settings could have had the narrow tempo range.

          zackster She didn’t know how to use the CDJs and wasn’t familiar with the tunes.

          Yeah she doesn’t know how to use the CDJs, but around half of the tunes were hers.

                  hugopal Yeah, maybe, but there’s no reason to have a restrictive bpm range is there? I don’t see the point, even if you mix in a restrictive bpm range like Tale of Us maybe does. Even so, it’s still shite, she should’ve at least taken a few minutes to run through some bits to check - going in that cold is absurd given the circumstance ie 50,000 people and not have a clue how to DJ

                      Along_the_Wire Yeah, maybe, but there’s no reason to have a restrictive bpm range is there?

                      I dont have Rekordbox to check myself, but I saw somewhere that supposedly the factory default setting is 75-155pm.

                      Along_the_Wire she should’ve at least taken a few minutes to run through some bits to check

                      Sure.

                            I thought autism was a super power?

                            hugopal I have tunes with 175bpm in my library and they sit there as that and I haven’t touched the setting. Anyway, it’s possible that it was changed - she kept talking about how shit she was at math, but fuck me, dividing numbers by 2 is only just beyond my mentally disabled brother.

                                That’s no way to talk about our Ed, Granto - he’s just a bit slow is all.

                                But if she had been trying initially to not just play the track at say it’s original 160 tempo, but rather to match it to an outgoing track’s tempo then it may have been a tad more tricky. That could be why at the end she gave up trying to blend at all and just played the tracks one after the other. Again just speculating.

                                  nicksneddon Exactly. No one seemed to mind most of the old Prog DJ’s using pro tools to stich a mix CD together.

                                      While I appreciate that I can still beat match and mix, I do feel a bit ‘who the fuck cares’ more often than not.

                                      Believe it was DJ Harvey who instilled this a couple years back.

                                      That being said, every time zackster puts one of his bedroom DJ reels up on Instagram, my only instinct is to think ‘can this fucker mix or not’.

                                      zackster She’s a borderline r-word with only one good song. She can fuck right off.

                                      Lol.. such an open mind you have. You’re green with envy obviously Zacky

                                        zackster She’s a borderline r-word

                                        Clearly not.

                                        zackster with only one good song

                                        This is way off. Which one could you even pick as her supposed only good one?!
