@JaxonGA Part of me wants to spend more time with gear closer to that of what I’d use on stage again, but the other part of me is like I probably just need to spend more time on my sets. Most of these sets I’ve done so far, are like a day or less of prep/rehearsal time behind the decks…
Thinking about my performance this past weekend at PawCon using the XDJ and CDJs. Flubbing hard is a humbling experience…
I’m not a good DJ by any means, I have a lot to learn but my philosophy around skill is that it’s not defined by equipment. I’m just not doing well at all
@NexoRexo A good maker has always had good craft, but capitalizing on mass production and the simplification of crafting means we also get more of the same and less of the individual. We don’t have to do it this way, but standardized mass churn of suits is what’s happening rn…
I hate hardware discourse purely because skill should be viewed outside of hardware limitations.
That said I’m contemplating if getting something like an FLX10 or even an AZ would be useful… not having to process where things are still improves the set at least… cost aside :/
@dc_srm Definitely not used the the beat jump settings on either the RX3 or the 3000… I typically use bars on my laptop tbh. Doesn’t help that the Wednesday before con I was dragged into the room party line-up, so I wasn’t prepared to work on two sets.
Will try your suggestion tho ❤️
@twopiecedior For sure. Still, a skilled person can work with any tool presented to them well. Wider spread of buttons, two screens is a lot to take in when all you have is sound check to get oriented. I do know what I need to do to improve and what to keep in mind for the next one
@dc_srm I tend to build my sets off of the Beatport charts and new featured tracks so I rely a lot on the waveform to read the song without knowing the song super well. I also made some last minute additions to the set and only ran it once like two hours before the show qwq
@dc_srm Looking back, the biggest issue was the variation in how the waveforms show up, being used to my 16” laptop and seeing the size and detail of that vs the smaller screen of the CDJ/XDJ. Took me so much longer to figure out where I was in my tracks as I didn’t set cues for this set
@DeckerGShep My sets have been fun, sure, but if a change in what I’m using to convey those sets throws me off completely, then more improvement is necessary on my part.
A slightly different interface, and button layout shouldn’t be throwing me off to the extent it affects the entire set
@DukeDoggo I used to work front desk and building supervisor at the University Health & Rec Center during my time in undergrad.
It was open to members of the public as well so I feel this. Sometimes folks are just too caught up in their frustrations
Thank you to the @FurlingameCon folks for having me again! This time for their Party Floor Room at @pacanthro#PAWCon26
Forgot my laptop last night so here’s a set that I broke out on the fly on equipment I’ve never used lol
