ParticipantThis is maybe a bit ghetto, but do you think if you got a metal file you could very slightly file the cap hole wide enough to fit the metal post? Note I take no responsibility for any damage done to the cap. Also have you tried just.. well, pressing on it hard? Don’t like hammer it in.
ParticipantMy stuff is a bit out of date, but my monitor is set to
L: Monitor Left
R: Monitor Right
Are those options available to you?ParticipantKeylock is my waifu. I honestly don’t think I’ve mixed without it since I went digital (save for maybe doing a “crazy” pitch up effect when I was really drunk).
ParticipantIs there something physically stopping the cap from going all the way on? Usually the fit is pretty tight, but it’s weird to see it just not go all the way down.
ParticipantIn trademark law is kind of crappy, but you usually can’t hold universal trademark across all markets. Trademarks exist to protect consumers and companies from instances of confusion with the trademarked name, or to prevent unlicensed marketability of someone’s trademark in an unrelated product.
For example, someone could name an extermination company Dead Mouse because there is no way anyone would reasonably believe Deadmau5 is coming to their door to deal with a rodent infestation. Deamau5 would not have any reasonable claims that his brand was damaged or that he lost out on money as this is not a market he operates in.
The fuzzy land of trademark law comes in if say, Kellogs made a cereal called “Dead Mouse”. Obviously they couldn’t call it “Deadmau5” but they’re probably trying to ape on his brand recognition even without his unique spelling. As celebrities take cereal brand deals all the time, it could lead to consumer confusion, etc.
Long story short, Zidane is a common enough sounding name which is, to my knowledge, not a well known artist in the music market that I don’t think confusion would realistically happen with the soccer player.
ParticipantTech House isn’t really my main listening staple, but the mixing was very good! I didn’t notice any obvious mistakes and everything seemed to progress nicely in terms of key.
ParticipantWelcome! I’m Canadian too 😀
ParticipantReally? Weird. I don’t think I’ve had more issues with it and DnB than any other genre.
ParticipantWell, I’m usually at 175 – 180 for 2 hours :P.
Plenty of excitement for me!Participantlol that “dame” was supposed to say “same”. Embarrassing yet kind of hilarious typo.
ParticipantI almost always try and keep the dame BPM throughout the whole mix, but that’s just how I like to do things 😛
I know some DJ’s where their sets would almost always just build up to being faster and faster over the course of the mix.
ParticipantI’m with D-Jam. I never fully trust a BPM readout on a CDJ. Especially when I’m playing Drum and Bass I don’t think they’ve ever been correct when on-the-fly analyzing. That said, I’ve found Traktor to be impressively accurate.
ParticipantPrepping a set, like you mentioned, is pretty much the long and short of it 🙂
Digital DJing is great for house parties where you’re taking requests!
ParticipantThanks for the feedback!
It might be a bit overpowering. I certainly wanted the bass to take up an important place in the track (ie, be more than just present) but I didn’t want it to blow everything else away!What I should do is listen to the tracks on various headphones, speakers, and my car to get a good wide gamut of response frequencies when I’m mastering the track. I might also consider curbing the sub-bass off the bass track. It might be a bit too much depending on your setup.
I’ll make sure to watch out for that next time. Thanks so much for the advice!
ParticipantThere are basically two parts:
Learning your tools, and learning music.To learn how to use FL studio Seamless had an amazing basics series on it.
