Along_the_Wire. Of course you don’t. I dunno. Prehaps no one gives a shit about the “art” of the DJ any more?

I suppose the question is are the kids on the dancefloor having fun, if yes then who cares?

      There are still people in the digital world who do.

      I really had to get my head out of the technology side to allow that in to be honest

      In some ways Live Streaming made being in the moment harder because there was so much to think about and the devices / connections would conspire with each other to break for no reason at random.

      Getting into your own flow / being present FTW

        The world definitely needs more mixes.

        It’s a good question. From a sample size of one, my youngest, he goes clubbing reasonably often, but he doesn’t give a shit who it is, or where it is, or even the genre - I’d imagine he’s just getting smashed to bits. He doesn’t listen to much music either, despite everything I taught him

            SM001 At least a few years ago you’d have 2 x USB sticks and backed up with 20 odd cds just in case they played up.

            I don’t miss playing out.

                      Both gigs went fine technically (not checked the recording for Sat yet). Friday played with an USB-stick on XDJ1000s, Saturday with my XDJ700s on a laptop with Rekordbox DJ. Both times with the version 7.0.

                      I’ve had a fucking mare this weekend.

                      Deleted all this year’s tunes.
                      Recovered
                      Ran through Platinum Notes
                      Retagged everything - really just artist, tune and artwork
                      Then mixed in key wrote over everything so back to retagging

                      What a load of ole shite

you know this isn’t a necessary step for an entire collection, right?

just feels overkill for all tracks, in many cases you’ll be degrading a decent mastered file unnecessarily.

                              Personally only ever use it on older/ripped stuff to make it sound better alongside new music, or if PN flags levels as being particularly low
 also find its useful for putting early renders of productions through so I can get a listenable version for the car/headphones.

                                ok stupid question - the fascists at work have banned me from using my work laptop to run Rekordbox which I use to make my playlists etc which I then export onto a USB which I then stick into the CDJ - easy. but can I do the same thing running RB on an iPad with a USB connector or do I need to get another effing laptop. ta b
